Healthcare professional education is the undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional development for doctors, nurses and allied healthcare professionals. Labour economics is the relationship between workers and employers, and the resultant effect on employment and wages.   Healthcare professional education ultimately produces a workforce, and that workforce is governed by the rule...

We expand Crawford and Sobel’s (1982) model of information transmission to allow for the costly provision of ‘hard evidence’ in addition to conventional cheap talk. Under mild assumptions we prove that equilibria have an interval-partition structure, where types of the Sender belonging to the same interval either all induce the same action through cheap talk or reveal their types through hard e...

The general objective of this study was to evaluate the economics of alternative technologies, systems and methods of fabricating and marketing retail packaged beef. A national beef distribution model (VAL-ADD) was developed and used to compare the economics of various case-ready systems with the conventional system of fabricating beef in the back room of the retail store. The VAL-ADD model ide...

A substantial public choice literature exists on the generic phenomenon of government failure in advanced western representative democracies. However, much less attention has been focussed on this question in the specific context of local governance, with the important exceptions of Bailey (1999) and Boyne (1998). In this paper we advance the argument that not only is government failure an esse...

To a high degree Simon’s work is identified with the introduction of “Bounded rationality” into economics and with the behavioral theory of the firm. Today, bounded rationality has become a conventional footnote in almost every economic treatment. However, it often does not do justice to Simon’s far-reaching ideas. Much has been neglected, in particular Simon’s emphasis on motivation, including...

abstract theories of behavior consumer deal with human behaviors as a being with will and purpose, so they are based on specific assumptions about the human nature and fundamentals of decision making. these assumptions often have ideological roots in different value systems consequently they are different in various these systems. the aim of this paper is to investigate these assumptions in the...

The core objective of this paper is to analyze the market prospects of battery electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles from a technical energetic and an economic point-of-view in a dynamic framework up to 2050 in comparison to conventional passenger cars. The major results and conclusions of this analysis are: From a technical point-of-view BEV and FCV are currently clearly preferable to conven...

Over 85% of all new heat exchanger applications in oil refining, chemical, petro-chemical, and power generation are accommodated through the use of conventional shell and tube type heat exchangers. The fundamental basis for this statistic is shell and tube technology is a cost effective, proven solution for a wide variety of heat transfer requirements. However, there are limitations associated ...

The wireless communications market is growing rapidly. A number of technologies are being developed. It is vital to analyse these technologies from an economic perspective to ensure that they have a market. This thesis is an attempt to carry out such a analysis. It discusses various technological and economic aspects of the systems proposed for the future generations of wireless networks and co...
