Patients', clinicians' and research's priorities on important outcomes in multiple myeloma: A mixed‐methods study

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Research in multiple myeloma increasingly relies on surrogate end‐points to expedite approvals, yet these may not reflect patient priorities. We conducted a mixed‐methods study to identify outcomes valued by patients and clinicians and compare them with end‐points used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Defining the geographical level of competition: a taxonomy of industry tradability

Economica, EarlyView.
Abstract The paper develops a taxonomy of industry tradability to define the geographical level at which competition takes place. First, it creates a novel dataset that combines production and international trade data for both goods and services industries, defined at a detailed (3‐digit) level of industry aggregation for 15 European countries.
