The U.S. Midwest produces about a third of global corn and soybeans, two of the most important crops for humanity. Earlier literature has found that corn and soybean output is sensitive to weather in a nonlinear manner: ...
DUDF: Differentiable Unsigned Distance Fields with Hyperbolic Scaling
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024)
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in
training Neural Networks to approximate Unsigned Distance
Fields (UDFs) for representing open surfaces in the
context of 3D reconstruction. However, UDFs are ...
The Long and Winding Road to Real-Life Experiments: Remote Assessment of Executive Functions with Computerized Games—Results from 8 Years of Naturalistic Interventions
(Brain Sciences (e-ISSN 2076-3425), 2024-03-07)
Mate Marote is an open-access cognitive training software aimed at children between

Workers in richer countries experience faster rates of wage growth over their lifetimes than
workers in poorer countries. We offer an explanation for this pattern by showing that
workers in richer economies receive more ...
Optimal Carbon Offsets with Heterogeneous Regions
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2024-02-08)
We study optimal climate policy in a global economy where regions differ in wealth
and vulnerability to climate change. Carbon emissions from production generate out-
put losses - a negative climate externality - and a ...
