Conventional multistate life table accounting procedures are based on theoretical assumptions that are appropriate primarily for demographic events. Applying these approaches to the area of health care, however, may lead to serious biases given the frequent turnovers of events such as...

Die Bedeutung von Emotionen und Affekten bei ökonomischen Entscheidungen wird seit mehreren Jahren in der ökonomischen Literatur diskutiert (z. B. Rabin, 1998). Eine Erklärung der empirischen Evidenz in diesem Bereich, die über eine bloß phänomenologische Ebene hinausgeht, verlangt eine...
