The Cost Variability of Orthobiologics [PDF]
Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 2019 Background: Mixed results exist regarding the benefit of orthobiologic injections. The purpose of this study was to assess the variability in costs for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell (SC) injections and evaluate for variables that influence pricing.

Runtime Analysis with Variable Cost
Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference, 2023 Abstract The usual approach in runtime analysis is to derive estimates on the number of fitness function evaluations required by a method until a suitable element of the search space is found. One justification for this is that in real applications, fitness evaluation often contributes the most computational effort. A tacit assumption in this

Neuronal evidence for good-based economic decisions under variable action costs [PDF]
, 2019 Choices between goods often depend on the action costs, but the mechanisms underlying economic decisions under variable action cost are poorly understood.

Primal-dual variable neighborhood search for the simple plant-location problem [PDF]
, 2007 Copyright @ 2007 INFORMSThe variable neighborhood search metaheuristic is applied to the primal simple plant-location problem and to a reduced dual obtained by exploiting the complementary slackness conditions.

COST‐PRICES WITH VARIABLE RETURNS(*) [PDF]
Metroeconomica, 1988 ABSTRACTIn this paper a model of oligopolistic competition is presented. Firms use a mark‐up in order to price but the model does not rely necessarily on the assumption of constant returns to scale. An existence theorem is proved for such an economy.

Fixed Cost, Variable Cost, Markups and Returns to Scale [PDF]
Annals of Economics and Statistics, 2017 This paper derives the structure of a production function which is necessary and sufficient for generating a fixed cost. We extend the classical production function in order to allow each input to have a fixed and a variable part. We characterize and estimate both the fixed and variable components of the cost function and study how fixed and variable ...

Cost Variability and Cost Behaviour in Manufacturing Enterprises
ECONOMICS & SOCIOLOGY, 2014 ABSTRACT. The paper is focused to the variability of costs, cost behaviour and discusses the issues of sticky costs. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the issue of the author's project targeted at the topic of cost behaviour and its projection to the costing systems and confront it with the current state of knowledge in the field.

The sources of hospital cost variability [PDF]
Health Economics, 2004 AbstractHospital heterogeneity is a major issue in defining a reimbursement system. If hospitals are heterogeneous, it is difficult to distinguish which part of the differences in costs is due to cost containment efforts and which part cannot be reduced, because it is due to other unobserved sources of hospital heterogeneity. In this paper, we apply an

The cost of dichotomising continuous variables [PDF]
BMJ, 2006 Measurements of continuous variables are made in all branches of medicine, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. In clinical practice it is helpful to label individuals as having or not having an attribute, such as being “hypertensive” or “obese” or having “high cholesterol,” depending on the value of a continuous variable. Categorisation

Bayesian Variable Selection in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2010 Linear regression models are often used to represent the cost and effectiveness of medical treatment. The covariates used may include sociodemographic variables, such as age, gender or race; clinical variables, such as initial health status, years of treatment or the existence of concomitant illnesses; and a binary variable indicating the treatment ...
