Observation bias: The impact of demand censoring on newsvendor level and adjustment behavior [PDF]
In an experimental newsvendor setting we investigate three phenomena: Level behavior ? the decision-maker's average ordering tendency; adjustment behavior ? the tendency to adjust period-to-period order quantities; and observation bias ?

, 2017 The objective of this dissertation is to investigate determinants and consequences of asymmetric cost behavior. Asymmetric cost behavior arises if the change in costs is different for increases in activity compared to equivalent decreases in activity. In this case, costs are termed “sticky” if the change is less when activity falls than when activity ...

Inhibition of Classical and Alternative Complement Pathway by Ravulizumab and Eculizumab
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To explore the feasibility of classical (CH50) and alternative (AH50) complement pathway activity as potential biomarkers for treatment guidance and monitoring during therapy with ravulizumab in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) and compare these to therapeutic drug monitoring under eculizumab.
