Background: Publicly funded mental health systems are increasingly implementing managed care systems, such as capitation, to control costs. Capitated contracts may increase the risk for disenrollment or adverse outcomes ...
This paper examines how attitudes to risk relate to other psychological constructs of personality and consideration of future consequences (a proxy for time preferences) and how risk attitudes relate to credit behaviour ...
The deregulation of electricity industries has generally separated the provision of generation from its subsequent transmission. However, the physical nature of electricity generation and delivery creates special problems ...
Public perception of flood risk and flood risk information is often overlooked when developing flood risk management plans. As scientists and the public at large perceive risk in very different ways, flood risk management ...
We explore the possibility that a systematic relationship exists between employment within a particular type of contract and risk preference. We exploit a set of proxies for risk preference, whereby some of the proxies ...
We consider three broad types of employment contract vis, self-employment, PRP, and fixed wage
employment. We focus on the implied degree of income risk associated with each type of employment contract,
arguing that such ...
In this article, Ritz’s method is used to calculate with unprecedented accuracy the displacements related to a deformable rectangular plate resting on the surface of an elastic quarter-space. To achieve this required three ...

I review previous approaches to modelling oligopoly in general equilibrium, and propose

Robotic ecologies are networks of heterogeneous robotic devices pervasively
embedded in everyday environments, where they cooperate to perform complex
tasks. While their potential makes them increasingly popular, one ...
This paper presents a novel method for ultrasonic range estimation. The method uses a wideband frequency-hop spread spectrum ultrasonic signal to increase robustness to noise and reverberation. The method applies ...
Recent work in UCD has centred on the development of a liquid metal coating process for EUV and soft X-ray collector optics. The work involves using a room temperature liquid metal coated on a solid metal substrate of the ...
The theory of strategic trade policy yields ambiguous recommendations for assistance
to exporting firms in oligopolistic industries. However, some writers have suggested that investment subsidies are a more robust ...
Social air services continue to be provided by governments in liberalized air transport markets for reasons of regional economic development and social or political integration. Here the service policies for the US, EU and ...
