The Colleges (Dutch: Hogescholen) have gained an important position in the knowledge infrastructure. In 1999, the number of enrolled College students increased to nearly 300,000 and the number of College graduates to more than 50,000. Since the nineties, the higher education policy is...

The Colleges (Dutch: Hogescholen) have gained an important position in the knowledge infrastructure. In 1999, the number of enrolled College students increased to nearly 300,000 and the number of College graduates to more than 50,000. Since the nineties, the higher education policy is...

This paper describes research done concerning the size, level and explanation of the financial reports of 14 Dutch universities. Based on earlier research in the USA concerning the financial report of niversities, 14 Dutch financial reports are examined. See the Tables. In spite of the...

Response time is increasingly used to shed light on the process by which individualsmake decisions. As mistakes may be correlated with response time it could, however, bemisleading to use this measure to draw inference on preferences. To demonstrate we build on arecent literature, which uses...

In this paper, we develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model which is based on the view that education makes workers more productive by increasing their ability to learn from work experience, rather than providing skills that directly increase productivity. This assumption is...

We derive revealed preference tests for models where individuals use consideration sets to simplify their consumption problem. Our basic test provides necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of observed choices with the existence of consideration set restrictions. The same conditions...

In this note, we introduce a new sufficient condition, called sign-quasiconcavity, on the existence of a pure equilibrium in two-person symmetric zerosum games, which generalizes both generalized ordinal potentials Monderer and Shapley, 1996 and quasiconcavity Duerschet al., 2012.

We relate risk attitudes and patience of young graduates from high-school, college and university, measured around the time that they start their labor market career in a large representative survey, to the riskiness and timing of earnings in the occupations they choose to work in. We find a...

We show that feasible elimination procedures Peleg, 1978 can be used to select k from m alternatives. An important advantage of this method is the core property no coalition can guarantee an outcome that is preferred by all its members. We also provide an axiomatic characterization for the case...

We provide a tractable concept that can be used to study the influence of the degree of farsightedness on network stability. A set of networks GK is a level-K farsightedly stable set if three conditions are satisfied. First, external deviations should be deterred. Second, from any network...
