The variety-seeking behavior and the brand choice among the consumers have been discussed extensively in the previous research contributions from the stochastic point of view. This study argues that although consumers are seeking novelty and unexpectedness in a brand that they have not bought...

We develop a model of costly technology adoption where the cost is irrecoverable and fixed. Households must decide when to switch from an existing technology to a new, more productive technology.

The paper discusses the possibilities of application of Analytic Network Process for enhancing the decision making of young Europeans. The purpose of the study is to examine whether ANP offers enough complexity for research purposes and application ease. The motivation for the study lies in the...

Resources available to the health care sector are finite and typically insufficient to fulfil all the demands for health care in the population. Decisions must be made about which treatments to provide. Relatively little is known about the views of the general public regarding the principles...
