In a year marked by challenging market dynamics, the importance of ESG investments remains unwavering. But the wave of ESG regulations and requests generates a demand for more scalable ways to collect and analyze ESG data. The rise of AI could mark a turning point in an industry heavily burdened by reporting requirements, and unlock the true potential of ESG for businesses and investors alike.
For genus g=2i≥4 and the length g−1 partition μ=(4,2,…,2,−2,…,−2) of 0, we compute the first coefficients of the class of D¯¯¯¯(μ) in PicQ(R¯¯¯¯g), where D(μ) is the divisor consisting of pairs [C,η]∈Rg with η≅OC(2x1+x2+⋯+xi−1−xi−⋯−x2i−1) for some points x1,…,x2i−1 on C. We further provide several enumerative results that will be used for this computation.
Yes, they are. The securities services industry is at a tipping point of its digital transformation and will now see industry solutions to scale. We identify three fundamental drivers being adopted more broadly: cloud migration, data, and digitization. This triage also drives the scaling of Clearstream’s digital infrastructure D7, one of the leading digital infrastructures globally.
This study explores high-frequency cross-asset lead-lag relationships for various market microstructure dimensions. Utilizing data from stocks, futures, and exchange traded products, the findings uncover significant lead-lag patterns, particularly among fundamentally related instruments. Our results demonstrate that knowledge about lead-lag relationships can be leveraged for forecasting short-term changes in financial markets.
Nowadays, firms lack information to derive the share of wallet, a vital metric that identifies how much additional spending a firm could capture from each customer. However, decoding Blockchain data enables observing all transactions of each wallet, respectively customer, on the Ethereum NFT market. To shed light on the share of wallet, we analyzed 22.7 million transactions from over 1.3 million customers across eight competing firms on the Ethereum NFT market.
Diese Forschungsarbeit analysiert die Rolle des Superblock-Konzepts in neoliberalen Stadtpolitiken am Beispiel der Stadt Offenbach am Main. Die Stadt, einst von industrieller Bedeutung, kämpft seit dem Ende des Fordismus mit finanziellen Schwierigkeiten, die zu einer restriktiven Austeritätspolitik geführt haben. Auf der Suche nach einer positiven Imageveränderung und im Wettbewerb um einkommensstarke Bevölkerungsschichten und Unternehmen initiierte Offenbach verschiedene Strategiepapiere und neue Stadtentwicklungsprojekte. Die Idee, den Offenbacher Stadtteil Nordend im Stile eines Superblocks umzugestalten, wird seit kurzem von verschiedenen Akteur*innen in der Stadt diskutiert. Bei Superblocks handelt es sich um eine grundlegende Transformation des Straßenraumes durch die Neugestaltung des Verkehrs in kleinteilige Abschnitte. Der motorisierte Individualverkehr wird umgeleitet und Freiflächen für die kollektive Nutzung entstehen. Die Forschungsarbeit basiert auf sechs qualitativen Expert*innen-Interviews mit verschiedenen Akteur*innen aus Offenbach. Durch die Interviews konnten die Einschätzungen der Expert*innen zum Superblock-Konzept sowie dessen Verhältnis zur Stadtentwicklungspolitik Offenbachs analysiert werden. Sie betonen die grundsätzliche Eignung des Nordends für die Implementierung des Superblock-Konzepts. Als Instrument der Mobilitätswende könnten Superblocks den öffentlichen Raum transformieren, die Lebensqualität steigern und speziell den im Nordend lebenden einkommensschwachen Haushalten zugutekommen. Dennoch zeigt sich in den Interviews eine Ambivalenz zum Superblock-Konzept im Kontext der Stadtentwicklungspolitik, insbesondere im Hinblick auf finanzielle Herausforderungen und Probleme der Umsetzung. Deutlich wird die prekäre finanzielle Situation Offenbachs im Kontext der Neoliberalisierung des Städtischen, deren Auswirkungen sich an den Aushandlungen über das Konzept der Superblocks exemplarisch äußert. Die Studie zeigt die Widersprüchlichkeiten eines innovativen Mobilitätskonzeptes innerhalb neoliberaler Stadtpolitiken auf und fragt nach dem Zusammenhang von Mobilitätsforschung und kritischer Stadtforschung.
Despite a number of helpful changes, including the adoption of an inflation target, the Fed’s monetary policy strategy proved insufficiently resilient in recent years. While the Fed eased policy appropriately during the pandemic, it fell behind the curve during the post-pandemic recovery. During 2021, the Fed kept easing policy while the inflation outlook was deteriorating and the economy was growing considerably faster than the economy’s natural growth rate—the sum of the Fed’s 2% inflation goal and the growth rate of potential output.
The resilience of the Fed’s monetary policy strategy could be enhanced, and such errors be avoided with guidance from a simple natural growth targeting rule that prescribes that the federal funds rate during each quarter be raised (cut) when projected nominal income growth exceeds (falls short) of the economy’s natural growth rate. An illustration with real-time data and forecasts since the early 1990s shows that Fed policy has not persistently deviated from this simple rule with the notable exception of the period coinciding with the Fed’s post-pandemic policy error.
Highlights
• TAM polarization induces CP RNA.
• CP RNA expression is regulated by HIF-2 and STAT1.
• CP RNA is transferred from TAMs to HT1080 cells.
• CP RNA is translated by HT1080 cells and protects from ferroptosis.
• Co-cultured HT1080 cells decrease iron and lipid peroxidation.
Abstract
Solid tumors are characterized by hypoxic areas, which are prone for macrophage infiltration. Once infiltrated, macrophages polarize to tumor associated macrophages (TAM) to support tumor progression. Therefore, the crosstalk between TAMs and tumor cells is of current interest for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. These may comprise induction of an iron- and lipid peroxidation-dependent form of cell death, known as ferroptosis. To study the macrophage - tumor cell crosstalk we polarized primary human macrophages towards a TAM-like phenotype, co-cultured them with HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells, and analyzed the tumor cell response to ferroptosis induction. In TAMs the expression of ceruloplasmin mRNA increased, which was driven by hypoxia inducible factor 2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1. Subsequently, ceruloplasmin mRNA was transferred from TAMs to HT1080 cells via extracellular vesicles. In tumor cells, mRNA was translated into protein to protect HT1080 cells from RSL3-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically this was based on reduced iron abundance and lipid peroxidation. Interestingly, in naïve macrophages also hypoxia induced ceruloplasmin under hypoxia and a co-culture of HT1080 cells with hypoxic macrophages recapitulated the protective effect observed in TAM co-cultures. In conclusion, TAMs provoke tumor cells to release iron and thereby protect them from lipid peroxidation/ferroptosis.
• Mexican and German populations of L. sericata differ in their development times.
• Mexican L. sericata had a shorter development time at 20°C than German flies.
• At 30 °C, German L. sericata pupariated and eclosed earlier than the Mexican flies.
• Differences in study design make the comparison of developmental studies difficult.
Abstract
The cosmopolitan blow fly Lucilia sericata is often used in forensic case work for estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin). For this, the age of immature specimens developing on the dead body is calculated by measuring the time taken to reach the sampled developmental stage at a given temperature. To test whether regional developmental data of L. sericata is valid on a global scale, the time taken to reach different developmental stages was compared between a population from Mexico and one from Germany at two different constant temperatures.
The German population of L. sericata was collected in Frankfurt/Main, while the Mexican population originated near Oaxaca de Juarez and was transported to Germany in the larval stage. Only the F1 generation was used to avoid adaption of the Mexican flies. Eggs were immediately placed at 20 °C and 30 °C. Five times 30 freshly eclosed larvae per replicate (n = 5) were then transferred to a cup of minced meat in separate containers. The larvae were checked every 8 h for migration, pupariation or emergence of adult flies. The time at which the first individual and 50 % of the specimens per container entered each of these stages, was recorded.
Significant differences in the time of development between the two populations were observed at both temperatures. At 20 °C, the first specimens of the Mexican population reached all developmental stages a little (< 1 day to < 2 days) earlier than the German L. sericata. At 30 °C, the Mexican flies also reached the post-feeding stage slightly earlier (0.2 days). However, at 30 °C, the German flies started pupariation significantly earlier (after 5 days) than the Mexican flies (6.9 days) and the adults from Germany also emerged earlier (10.5 days compared to 13.1 days). The same pattern was observed when looking at 50 % of the total number of specimens per container. A comparison with previously published developmental studies was difficult as the experimental design varied widely between studies. However, the results were within the range of most studies. Our study has shown that age estimation can vary widely depending on the population on which the reference data used for the calculations are based. This highlights the importance of using local and population-specific developmental data for estimating the age of blow flies in case work.
Central banks sowing the seeds for a green financial sector? NGFS membership and market reactions
(2024)
In December 2017, during the One Planet Summit in Paris, a group of eight central banks and supervisory authorities launched the “Network for Greening the Financial Sector” (NGFS) to address challenges and risks posed by climate change to the global financial system. Until 06/2023 an additional 69 central banks from all around the world have joined the network. We find that the propensity to join the network can be described as a function in the country’s economic development (e.g., GDP per capita), national institutions (e.g., central bank independence), and performance of the central bank on its mandates (e.g., price stability and output gap). Using an event study design to examine consequences of network expansions in capital markets, we document that a difference portfolio that is long in clean energy stocks and short in fossil fuel stocks benefits from an enlargement of the NGFS. Overall, our results suggest that an increasing number of central banks and supervisory authorities are concerned about climate change and willing to go beyond their traditional objectives, and that the capital market believes they will do so.
In this study, we unpack the ESG ratings of four prominent agencies in Europe and find that (i) each single E, S, G pillar explains the overall ESG score differently,(ii) there is a low co-movement between the three E, S, G pillars and (iii) there are specific ESG Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are driving these ratings more than others. We argue that such discrepancies might mislead firms about their actual ESG status, potentially leading to cherry-picking areas for improvement, thus raising questions about the accuracy and effectiveness of ESG evaluations in both explaining sustainability and driving capital toward sustainable companies.

Die Welt im Wasserstress
(2024)
Wie haben sich die Wasserresourcen in den letzten 120 Jahren verändert? Und was passiert, wenn es bis Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts noch einmal zwei Grad wärmer wird als heute? Fragen wie diese beantwortet das globale Wasser-Modell WaterGAP, das maßgeblich vom Institut für Physische Geographie der Goethe-Universität und von der Ruhr-Universität Bochum entwickelt wird. Bislang ließen sich die damit erzeugten Daten nur von Expertinnen und Experten nutzen. Eine neue Web-App ändert das nun. Entwickelt wurde sie von dem französischen Geodaten-Unternehmen Ageoce, das dafür mit der Goethe-Universität kooperierte.
