BACKGROUND Throughout the world there is an insufficient supply of donor organs to meet the demand for organ transplantations. This paper presents a protocol for a randomised controlled trial, testing whether a simple, theory-based anticipated regret manipulation leads to a significant increase in posthumous organ donor registrations. METHODS We will use a between-groups, prospective randomis...

This paper provides an axiomatic model of dynamic choice in which the decision maker is driven by anticipated ex-post regret. In the presence of dynamic inconsistency problem due to both arrival of new information and changing choice opportunities, we characterize a sophisticated behavior that plays backward induction. Moreover, we characterize consistent belief updating, which rules out the in...

Expression profiling using DNA arrays is often believed to have appeared during the second half of the 1990s, and to be based exclusively on nonisotopic methods. In fact, the first article describing the application of cDNA arrays to expression analysis was published in 1992, relied on radioactive labeling, and was a new development of "high-density" membranes used until then essentially for ef...

When a …rm introduces a product with new features, some consumers may …nd it di¢ cult to assess their valuations for these new attributes. Their purchase decisions made under such uncertainty may lead to post-purchase regret. It has been experimentally shown that consumers anticipate their potential post-purchase regret in the future and make their current choices to mitigate or minimize it. Th...

Patients with SCI (N = 44) rated their actual, previous and expected future Quality of Life (QoL) at three time points: within two weeks of admission to the rehabilitation center (RC), a few weeks befo...

In this paper I will argue that the institutional implementations that we commonly include in our monetary aggregates are actually more similar to the concept of monetary base. I will also argue that the institutional implementation of accounts payable operates as money. This slightly translated definition implies that a new monetary aggregate that includes accounts payable may be useful for co...
