Inflation is driven by a Kaehler modulus whose potential arises from the aforementioned corrections, while we use the inclusion of string loop effects just to ensure the existence of a graceful exit when necessary. The effective inflaton potential takes a Starobinsky-type form $V=V_0(1-e^{-\nu\phi})^2$, where we obtain one set-up with $\nu=-1/\sqrt{3}$ and one with $\nu=2/\sqrt{3}$ corresponding to inflation occurring for increasing or decreasing $\phi$ respectively. The inflationary observables are thus in perfect agreement with PLANCK, while the two scenarios remain observationally distinguishable via slightly varying predictions for the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. Both set-ups yield $r\simeq (2\ldots 7)\,\times 10^{-3}$. They hence realise inflation with moderately large fields $\left(\Delta\phi\sim 6\thinspace M_{Pl}\right)$ without saturating the Lyth bound. Control over higher corrections relies in part on tuning underlying microscopic parameters, and in part on intrinsic suppressions. The intrinsic part of control arises as a leftover from an approximate effective shift symmetry at parametrically large volume.}, cin = {T}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)T-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611) / HZ-NG-603 - Strings and Cosmology - an Interface for Testing fundamental Theories $(2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603)$ / SPLE - String Phenomenology in the LHC Era (320421)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611 / $G:(DE-HGF)2015_IFV-HZ-NG-603$ / G:(EU-Grant)320421}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-MLZ)NOSPEC-20140101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)29 / PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {1509.00024}, howpublished = {arXiv:1509.00024}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:1509.00024;\%\%$}, UT = {WOS:000369734300001}, doi = {10.1088/1475-7516/2016/01/001}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/293356}, }
