Background: High rates of health needs among adults with intellectual disabilities flag the need for information about the economic consequences of strategies to identify and address unmet needs. Health-check interventions are one such strategy, and have been demonstrated to effect health gains...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The project accounting function is not adequately defined in project management and accounting textbooks. The objectives of this study were to identify the capabilities and potential involvement of the management and financial accountant in project management and to compare...

This paper employs a latent variable approach to isolate the effects of changing tastes on the share of total meat expenditure on different categories of meat products in Greece during the period 1965–1995. We find that changes in the relative expenditure on different categories of meat cannot...

Having argued that the modeling of technical change as a smooth deterministic function of time is likely to misrepresent the true nature of technical change, this paper reexamines biased technical change in U.S. agriculture using a system of share equations with unobserved components errors,...

Technical change is inherently unobservable and has conventionally been represented by proxy variables, from simple time trends to more sophisticated knowledge stock variables. This paper follows Lambert and Shonkwiler (1995) in modelling technical change as a stochastic unobservable variable...

Aim: To assess the impact of early intervention (EI) services on service costs for people with first-episode psychosis. Methods: A decision model was constructed to map the care pathways following input from EI services and from standard care. A Markov process was used to run the model over 18...

Objective: To determine the cost utility of treating schizophrenic patients with olanzapine compared with other antipsychotics in a naturalistic outpatient setting. An Epoch analysis was used to analyze the longitudinal data. Multivariate regression analyses that adjusted for baseline...

There is a paucity of economic evidence relating to interventions for peripheral nerve disorders and the aim of this study was to illustrate the application of economic evaluation in this area by making a comparison of the cost-effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin and prednisolone...

The economic impact of serious conditions such as schizophrenia is felt widely. The impact on overall health care budgets can be as much as 3% of the total, but there are also other costs, especially those associated with lost productivity, as typically only about one-fifth of all people with...
