A good sign for multivariate risk taking
Eeckhoudt, Louis; Rey, Béatrice; Schlesinger, Harris - 2006
Decisions under risk are often multidimensional, where the preferences of the decision maker depend on several attributes. For example, an individual might be concerned about both her level of wealth and the condition of her health. Many times the signs of successive cross derivatives of a...

Stroke care networks and the impact on quality of care
Schoenfelder, Jan; Zarrin, Mansour; Griesbaum, Remo; … - In: Health Care Management Science 25 (2021) 1, pp. 24-41
Lack of rapidly available neurological expertise, especially in rural areas, is one of the key obstacles in stroke care. Stroke care networks attempt to address this challenge by connecting hospitals with specialized stroke centers, stroke units, and hospitals of lower levels of care. While the...
