T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations from AdS2 to dS2 by Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Andrew Svesko, Manus R. Visser

“…To better understand the microscopics of de Sitter space, we focus on deformations for which the dual bulk geometry flows from Anti-de Sitter to de Sitter space. We explore two distinct ways to achieve this: either through so-called centaur geometries that interpolate between AdS2 and dS2, or by a spherical dimensional reduction of T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ + Λ2 theories that were proposed to give a microscopic interpretation of three-dimensional de Sitter entropy. …”

CO2 emissions response to GDP and crude oil price shocks: Evidence from India and China using SVAR Model by Matali Mahajan, Dr. Ash Narayan Sah

“…This paper investigates the relationship between WTI prices, Inflation, CO2 emission, and GDP in India and China. Based on annual data spanning 1980–2019 for India and 1990–2019 for China, sourced from the “World Bank and Our World in Data” database, we investigate these interactions via a Structural Vector Autoregression framework, using impulse response functions and forecast error variance decomposition to map the effects. …”

Comparing Welfare Regime Changes: Living Standards and the Unequal Life Chances of Different Birth Cohorts by Louis Chauvel

“…The aim is to make a connection between national Welfare regimes and the emergence of specific cohort-based economic constraint patterns in different countries, which are about to produce specific social generations2. I highlight the emergence of ‘scarring effects’; that is the irreversible consequences of (short term) social fluctuations in the context of socialisation on the (long term) life chances of different birth cohorts. …”
