This periodic dossier produced by CUTS looks at the interface of policy issues having an impact, both negative and positive, on competition in India. The dossier relies on published news from reputed sources but at the same time CUTS does not guarantee its accuracy. The purpose is to flag issues to the layman as well as to the specialised policymakers and regulators, rather than be judgmental a...

Research has suggested that outcome feedback is less effective than other forms of feedback in promoting learning by users of decision support systems. However, if circumstances can be identified where the effectiveness of outcome feedback can be improved, this offers considerable advantages, given its lower computational demands, ease of understanding and immediacy. An experiment in stock pric...

Abstract Forecasting at the Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) disaggregate level in order to support operations management has proved a very difficult task. The levels of accuracy achieved have major consequences for companies at all levels in...

Tait’s method (a.k.a. proof by logical relations) is a powerful proof technique frequently used for showing foundational properties of languages based on typed lambda-calculi. Historically, these proofs have been difficult to formalize in proof assistants with weak meta-logics, such as Twelf. Logical relations are notoriously difficult to define judgmentally. In this paper, we present and discu...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the link between safety behaviors and social judgments in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Safety behaviors were manipulated in the context of a controlled laboratory-based social interaction, and subsequent effects of the manipulation on the social judgments of socially anxious participants (N = 50, Study 1) and individuals meeting diagnostic criteria fo...

Sands’ position, in light of all the available academic literature and anecdotal evidence, is that families should be presented with the option to see and hold their baby, and that this option should be communicated to parents in an open, supportive, and non-judgmental way. Furthermore, bereaved parents should be supported by caregivers in their choice to spend time with their baby should they ...

A new foundation is presented for the theory of subjective judgments of probability known in the psychological literature as “Support Theory.” It is based on new complementation operations that, unlike those of classical probability theory (set-theoretic complementation) and classical logic (negation), need not satisfy the principles of the Law Of The Excluded Middle and the Law of Double Compl...
