Rasch Model for Assessing Propensity to Entomophagy [PDF]

open access: yesSustainability, 2021
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations supports the production of edible insects as a promising and sustainable source of nutrients to meet the increasing demand for animal-derived products by the growing world population. Even if insects are part of the diet of more than two billion people worldwide, the practice of eating insects

Perceived Human-Likeness of Social Robots: Testing the Rasch Model as a Method for Measuring Anthropomorphism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Social Robotics, 2019
Anthropomorphism is generally defined as the attribution of human-like characteristics to social robots and other non-human objects. We argue that different researchers have different interpretations of this concept, leading to measuring instruments that

Horizontal mergers, cost savings, and network effects

open access: yesBulletin of Economic Research, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 65-82, January 2023., 2023
Abstract We consider a horizontally differentiated oligopoly and investigate the relationship between merger cost savings and network effects for the incentives of firms to merge and for the postmerger welfare outcomes. We show that it is more profitable to be an insider rather than an outsider of the merger, unless both cost savings and network ...
