Demographers use microsimulation for studying individual life courses and their attributes; events are specified to be the result of stochastic processes based on predetermined probabilistic rules. In this study, we developed and validated a microsimulation model to reconstruct individual's life...

As it has already been documents in several reports, the Geospatial Risk and Resilience Assessment Platform (GRRASP) under development ad the JRC is a World Wide Web oriented architecture bringing together geospatial technologies and computational tools towards the objective of supporting the...

The document describing the particular ionospheric model developed for the Galileo satellite navigation system has been officially released [1]. Its publication allows GNSS receiver manufacturers to start the implementation of the specific algorithm targeted for their Galileo related products in...

This report provides empirical evidence on the relationship between financial development and economic growth in the European Union and the Euro area. Results indicate that the type of financing fund receiver matters in the financial depth-growth link.

The European Commission launched a soil assessment component to the periodic LUCAS Land Use/Land Cover Area Frame Survey in 2009. Physical and chemical parameters in topsoil (0-20 cm) were assessed in 23 Member States (EU-27 except Bulgaria, Romania, Malta and Cyprus). The aim of LUCAS Soil...
