Bij het afnemen van examens Administratieve Organisatie wordt er van uitgegaan dat het oordeel van de beoordelaar, al dan niet in samenspraak met een tweede beoordelaar, een juiste indicator is van de kwaliteit van een uitwerking. Consensus tussen beoordelaren wordt in het algemeen beschouwd als...

Copulas are the part of a multivariate distribution function that fully captures the cross sectional dependence between the variables of interest and they have become a very popular tool to model dependencies different from the linear correlation of elliptical distributions. We review the theory...

In this paper we describe a computational study to solve hard frequency assignment problems (FAPs) to optimality using a tree decomposition of the graph that models interference constraints. We present a dynamic programming algorithm which solves FAPs based on this tree decomposition. We show...

We study cooperative games with communication structure, represented by an undirectedgraph. Players in the game are able to cooperate only if they can form a network in the graph. A single-valued solution, the average tree solution, is proposed for this class ofgames. Given the graph structure...

Decision-making effectiveness has been associated with how well managers adapt their cognitive style to task requirements. In this paper, theories regarding decision-making under uncertainty and the use of judgment and intuition are reviewed and integrated. Cognitive Continuum Theory (CCT),...

We introduce a new class of bankruptcy problems in which the value of the estate is endogenous and depends on agents'' investment decisions. There are two investment alternatives: investing in a company and becoming a shareholder (risky asset) and depositing money into a savings account...

The Internet revolution has led to significant changes in the way travel agencies interact with customers. Travel websites are used to different degrees, and for a variety of combinations of pre-transaction, transaction and post-transaction services. A better understanding of how customers...

This paper explores how decentralized, national fiscal policies interact with a common monetary policy in a monetary union. We show that fiscal policy plays a more important role in stabilizing country-specific shocks than with national monetary policies. Whereas monetary unification with an...

In the infinite horizon alternating price setting duopoly of Maskin and Tirole (1988), a focal price equilibrium and an equilibrium consisting of Edgeworth cycles coexist. In this study we investigate which of these two equilibria is more likely to emerge by means of a laboratory experiment. In...

We consider parallel, identical machine scheduling problems where the jobs are subject to precedence constraints, release dates, and the processing times of jobs are governed by independent probability distributions. The objective is to minimize the expected value of the total weighted...
