Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

Enhancing generalizability theory with mixed‐effects models for heteroscedasticity in psychological measurement: A theoretical introduction with an application from EEG data

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generalizability theory (G‐theory) defines a statistical framework for assessing measurement reliability by decomposing observed variance into meaningful components attributable to persons, facets, and error. Classic G‐theory assumes homoscedastic residual variances across measurement conditions, an assumption that is often violated in ...

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

Cooperation and Managerial Delegation in Duopoly Revisited

open access: yesBulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper shows that the cooperative game with managerial delegation (in both the Cournot and Bertrand settings) and the Bertrand benchmark game (without delegation or cooperation) are equivalent in duopoly. The cooperative solution may be the equilibrium of the game, and this outcome can be beneficial for consumer surplus and welfare when ...

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

open access: yesDecision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,
