The migration process has been studied under the lenses of organizational learning theories, to identify challenges that can offer advice for future system migration projects. The objectives expressed by the central agency leading the studied migration process aimed at...Read more...
The first paper examines the value of a statistical life (VSL) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims.
The second paper concerns hypothetical bias in contingent valuation (CV) studies. We investigate the link between the determinants and empirical treatment of uncertainty through certainty calibration.
The third paper investigates the performance of two communication...Read more...
