The efficiency of multivariate macroeconomic forecasts
We examine the efficiency of multivariate macroeconomic forecasts by estimating a vector autoregressive model on the forecast revisions of four variables (GDP, inflation, unemployment and wages). Using a data set of professional...

The Conclusion returns to the larger question of the role of ethnography in the development of plague science during the third pandemic. Discussing the challenges of rendering ethnographic data into epidemiological evidence...
Systems modelling and simulation in health service design, delivery and decision making
The ever increasing pressures to ensure the most efficient and effective use of limited health service resources will, over time, encourage policy makers to turn to system modelling solutions. Such techniques have been available...
Relativistic approach to the kinematics of large-scale peculiar motions
Abstract: We consider the linear kinematics of large-scale peculiar motions in a perturbed Friedmann universe. In so doing, we take the viewpoint of the “real” observers that move along with the peculiar flow, relative to the...
Photography and the Unseen
Drawing on works such as Shawn Michelle Smith’s At the Edge of Sight (2013), we explore the idea that photography, in supporting new kinds of seeing, even more importantly provokes expanded cultural concern with that which is...
Neglecting Structural Breaks when Estimating and Valuing Dynamic Correlations for Asset Allocation
This paper assesses the econometric and economic value consequences of neglecting structural breaks in dynamic correlation models and in the context of asset allocation framework. It is shown that changes in the parameters of...
An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Labor Market Integration Policies in EU Member States Using PROMETHEE
From an economic point of view, the rational response towards migration is the labor market integration of immigrants. Within the above framework, several actions have been developed by the European Union member states over the...

Managing the surge in demand for blood following mass casualty events. Early automatic restocking may preserve red cell supply
Background: Traumatic hemorrhage is a leading preventable cause of mortality following mass casualty events (MCEs). Improving outcomes requires adequate in-hospital provision of high volume red blood cell (RBC) transfusions....
Strategic management and regional industrial strategy
This study critically revisits extant perspectives and theories on strategic management (SM) and regional industrial strategy (RIS) and considers the scope for cross-fertilization to mutual advantage. Despite an extensive...
Improving Timeliness in the Neglected Tropical Diseases Preventive Chemotherapy Donation Supply Chain through Information Sharing
Background
Billions of doses of medicines are donated for mass drug administrations in support of the World Health Organization’s “Roadmap to Implementation,” which aims to control, eliminate, and eradicate Neglected...

International coordination on climate policies
Given the current trend in global emissions, the latest round of climate change negotiations at the Durban meeting of December 2011 (for the adoption of a comprehensive global treaty on climate change mitigation as soon as...
The international dimension of climate change policy
Climate change is a major challenge to international cooperation, as emphasized for instance by the Stern Review and various IPCC reports (Stern 2006; IPCC 2007) but also many others. One of the main problems of achieving...

The effects of academic incubators on university innovation
In this article, we analyze the impact of academic incubators on
the quality of innovations produced by U.S. research-intensive academic institutions. We show that establishing a university-affiliated incubator is followed...
