Over the nineteenth century, Egypt embarked on one of the world’s earliest state-led modernization programs in production, education, and the army. I examine the impact of this ambitious program on long-standing human capital differentials and occupational and educational segregation between...

In this talk, we consider the problem of estimating the covariance matrix of a stochastic process corrupted by an additive noise. We propose to estimate the covariance matrix in a high-dimensional setting when the number of observations is smaller than the number of parameters to estimate, under...

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is an appropriate tool for the stochastic analysis of risks related to extreme outcomes in random processes. If such processes are spatial in extent, as for example precipitation, wind or storm tides and surges, we have to deal with spatial variability and dependence...
