Obesity and Hyperbolic Discounting: An Experimental Analysis [PDF]

Behavioral economists maintain that addictions such as alcoholism, smoking and over-eating represent examples of present-bias in decision making that is fundamentally irrational.

Technology‐Enabled Cross‐Border Entrepreneurship: The Role of Digital Platforms in SME Expansion Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant institutional barriers when expanding across borders, including regulatory constraints, financial accessibility issues, and market entry challenges. Institutional theory provides a useful framework for understanding how external regulative, normative, and cognitive institutional forces

The Price of a Whipple: Predicting Hospital Charges Using Preoperative Patient Characteristics

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative lab abnormalities are significant predictors of hospital charges following Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy. In a retrospective review of 375 cases, patients with ≥ 3 preoperative laboratory‐based predictors incurred substantially higher charges, underscoring the value of preoperative optimization in reducing financial burden.

Now or Never: Environmental Protection under Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]

In this paper, we extend the well known result that hyperbolically discounting agents tend to postpone costs into the future. In a simple model we show that, without commitment to the ex ante optimal plan, no investment in environmental protection is ...

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

DISCOUNTING AND CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY [PDF]

A constant social discount rate cannot reflect both a reasonable opportunity cost of public funds and an ethically defensible concern for generations in the distant future. We use a model of hyperbolic discounting that achieves both goals.

Multitype Game Optimisation: A Two‐Stage Fine‐Tuning Framework for Multi‑Game Optimisation With Large Language Models

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large language models (LLMs) have made remarkable advances in natural language processing, demonstrating great potential in modelling structured sequences. However, adapting these capabilities to machine gaming tasks such as Go remains challenging due to limitations in strategy generalisation and optimisation efficiency.
