The Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the State Agency of research of the Government of Spain have awarded four competitive grants worth 203,500 € to the Institute for Culture and Society (ICS), research center at Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Navarra. The research, framed in the thematic areas of 'Economics' and 'History and Archaeology', will deal with topics such as environmental policies, cooperation, fractional integration or the Templar and Hospitaller Orders.
The grants from area of 'Economics' have been awarded to the Navarra Center for International Development (NCID) of the ICS. The researchers Raúl Bajo and Jaime Millán will develop the project 'Efficiency of environmental policies and preferences and decisions on sustainable goods and services of households' that seeks to explain the impact that environmental policies have on individual household decision making and on the sustainable practices of citizens.
The NCID will also conduct the project 'Distributive Justice and Cooperation', led by Markus Kinateder and Sandra Polanía. This research aims to study individual perceptions of distributive justice and its impact on cooperation and altruism in order to make better predictions on how to achieve a fairer distribution within a society and across societies.
Also, the researcher Luis Alberiko Gil Alaña has received this financial aid from the Ministry for the project 'Fractional integration and cointegration. Univariate and multivariate theoretical developments. Applications in Economics andfinance and other areas with time series'. In it, the expert will apply the mathematical models known as fractional integration and fractional cointegration in time series to make predictions in various fields, such as climatology, environment, Economics, finance, tourism, seismography or poverty.
Finally, the group of research 'Vínculos, creatividad y cultura' has received another financial aid to carry out the project 'Las memorias del Temple y del Hospital en la Corona de Aragón y Navarra (siglos XII-XV). Constructions, functions and images' in the area of 'History and archaeology'. Led by Julia Pavón and María Bonet Donato (Universitat Rovira i Virgili), it will analyze documentation on the Templars and Hospitallers in the Crown of Aragon and Navarre to find out when, how and why the memories of these medieval orders were fixed and how they have been preserved and transferred to the present day.
The call for proposals Generation of knowledge 2023 has as goal to finance the realization of projects aimed both at promoting the significant advancement of scientific knowledge and to address the challenges of society.
