Tourism Statistics, Indicators and Big Data: a perspective article
(2019)Purpose: This paper aims to discuss the evolution of tourism data and critically debates future perspective for producers and users of tourism data. Design/methodology/approach: This paper provides a perspective on tourism ... -
Robust Hemodynamic Response Function Estimation From fNIRS Signals
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2019)Hemodynamic response function (HRF) estimation in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) plays an important role in characterizing the temporal dynamics of the brain response. Estimation based on semiparametric ... -
Monte Carlo modified profile likelihood in models for clustered data
(INST MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS, 2019)The main focus of the analysts who deal with clustered data is usually not on the clustering variables, and hence the group-specific parameters are treated as nuisance. If a fixed effects formulation is preferred and the ... -
The Commissions's Proposal to Establish a European Monetary Fund: A Critical Analysis
(2019)On December 6, 2017, the European Commission published a set of proposals to reform the euro area. These proposals include, inter alia, the creation of a post of European Finance minister, a euro area budget-line and the ... -
Informational Content and Assurance of Textual Disclosures: Evidence on Integrated Reporting
(2020)This paper examines the economic benefits associated with textual attributes and the external assurance of integrated reporting (IR), an innovative form of corporate disclosure that connects financial and environmental, ... -
The Role of Intuition and Deliberation for Exploration and Exploitation Success
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014)Advances in social and cognitive psychology and related fields have drawn attention to the role of intuition in organizational decision making. In this study we link intuitive and deliberate decision-making styles to the ... -
Intuition: the missing ingredient for good managerial decision-making
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2014)Purpose: This paper aims to clarify the role of intuition in managerial decision making by identifying when intuitive decision making is typically applied, of what value it is for organizations and what inhibits its ... -
M&A and innovation: The role of integration and cultural differences—A central European targets perspective
(Pergamon, 2014)Cultural differences are an important issue for cross-border M&A. Empirical evidence for the impact of cultural differences on M&A performance is mixed. A major reason for these inconclusive results relies on integration. ... -
Wine quality, reputation, denominations: How cooperatives and private wineries compete?
(2014)We analyze how cooperatives in Northern Italy (Alto Adige and Trentino) compete with private wineries regarding product quality and reputation, i.e. if firm organization affects wine quality and winery reputation. Moreover, ... -
Chronic stress accelerates pancreatic cancer growth and invasion: a critical role for beta-adrenergic signaling in the pancreatic microenvironment
(Elsevier, 2014)Pancreatic cancer cells intimately interact with a complex microenvironment that influences pancreatic cancer progression. The pancreas is innervated by fibers of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and pancreatic cancer ... -
Response improvement in complex experiments by co-information composite likelihood optimization
(Springer, 2014)We propose an adaptive procedure for improving the response outcomes of complex combinatorial experiments. New experiment batches are chosen by minimizing the co-information composite likelihood (COIL) objective function, ... -
Economic Liberalisation and the Mobility of Minority Groups: Evidence from Māori in New Zealand
(2016)Between 1984 and 1993, New Zealand undertook comprehensive market-oriented economic reforms. In this paper, we use census data to examine how the internal mobility of Māori compares to that of Europeans in New Zealand in ... -
Corporate Governance of SOEs and Performance in Transition Countries. Evidence from Lithuania
(2016)This paper investigates whether and to what extent corporate governance mechanisms affect the efficiency of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) operating in transition economies. Furthermore, it examines the relationship between ... -
The long-term impacts of international migration: evidence from a lottery
(2018)We examine the long-term impacts of international migration by comparing immigrants who had successful ballot entries in a migration lottery program, and first moved almost a decade ago, with people who had unsuccessful ... -

(2015)This paper assesses the productivity change of the French Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) after the introduction of the July 1999 Innovation Law and the New Public Management Oriented Reform. By using Data Envelopment ... -
A Self-Regulating Information Acquisition Algorithm for Preventing Choice Regret in Multi-Perspective Decision Making
(2014)In a world filled with an increasing number of choices people must carefully select the information they acquire in order to make sound decisions that they will not regret in the future. This ranges from everyday life ... -
Climbing quality ladders and the evolution of technology dynamics: Rethinking the role of demand in technological change
(2014)The current paper analyses how the information gathering capabilities of consumers affect the patterns of technological innovation, establishing an explicit link among market demand, firms and the evolution of technology ... -
An Optimal Information Acquisition Model for Competitive Advantage in Complex Multiperspective Environments
(2014)The optimal information acquisition process is a major strategic task for sustaining a firm's competitive advantage. We define the optimal sequential information acquisition behavior of a rational decision maker (DM) when ... -
Information acquisition processes and their continuity: Transforming uncertainty into risk
(2014)We propose a formal approach to the problem of transforming uncertainty into risk via information revelation processes. Abstractions and formalizations regarding information acquisition processes are common in different ... -
The Optimal Sequential Information Acquisition Structure: A Rational Utility-Maximizing Perspective
(2014)We consider a rational utility maximizer decision maker (DM) who must gather two pieces of information from a set of multidimensional products before making a choice. We analyze the resulting sequential information acquisition ...
