The Neanderthals Rediscovered
For too long the Neanderthals have been seen as evolutionary dead-ends but advances in DNA technologies have forced a reassessment of their place in our own past. This extensively illustrated book looks at the Neanderthals from their evolution in Europe to their expansion to Siberia and their subsequent extinction. It turns out that the Neanderthals' behaviour was surprisingly modern so what caused their extinction? This is one of many mysteries that we are closer to solving. They evolved in Europe in parallel to the Homo Sapiens line evolving in Africa. When both species made their first moves into Asia, the Neanderthals may even have had the upper hand. The superiority of Homo sapiens suddenly seems less obvious or inevitable.
On the Statistical Analysis of Series of Observations
It is no longer disputed nowadays that mathematical statistics is the main tool to be used in climatology. Mathematical statistics is in fact the science of random models and the purpose of the statistics analysis of series of observations is to from among the models which science makes available, the one which bes represents the behaviour of the observed phenomenon. Thi atitude may be justifed in two ways. From the theoretical point of view, the representation of the observad phenomenon by a model depending on aminimum number of paramenters anables objective statistical conslusions to be compared with the physical theories put forward, iether to confirm their validity or to reveal weaknesse...

International Fiscal-financial Spillovers: The Effect of Fiscal Shocks on Cross-border Bank Lending
This paper sheds new light on the degree of international fiscal-financial spillovers by investigating the effect of domestic fiscal policies on cross-border bank lending. By estimating the dynamic response of U.S. cross-border bank lending towards the 45 recipient countries to exogenous domestic fiscal shocks (both measured by spending and revenue) between 1990Q1 and 2012Q4, we find that expansionary domestic fiscal shocks lead to a statistically significant increase in cross-border bank lending. The magnitude of the effect is also economically significant: the effect of 1 percent of GDP increase (decrease) in spending (revenue) is comparable to an exogenous decline in the federal funds rat...
