In this study, we examine whether and to what extent the health insurance system in Turkey provided adequate protection against high out of pocket expenditures in the period prior to "The Health Transformation Programme". Furthermore, we examine the distribution of out of pocket expenditures by demographic characteristics, poverty status, health service type, access to health care and self-repo...

In recent years, credit risk has played a key role in risk management issues. Practitioners, academics and regulators have been fully involved in the process of developing, studying and analysing credit risk models in order to find the elements which characterize a sound risk management system. In this paper we present an integrated model, based on a reduced pricing approach, for market and cre...

A dynamic software risk assessment model is presented. Analogies between dynamic financial analysis and software risk assessment models are established and based on these analogies it suggested that dynamic risk model for software projects is the way to move forward for the risk assessment of software project. It is shown how software risk assessment change during different phases of a software...

In the maritime domain, risk is evaluated within the framework of the Formal Safety Assessment (FSA), introduced by the International Maritime Organization in 2002. Although the FSA has become an internationally recognized and recommended method, the definition, which is adopted there, to describe the risk, seems to be too narrow to reflect the actual content of the FSA. Therefore this article ...

But if HTA restricts itself to evaluations of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness, it risks being vie...

Risk management that is one of the knowledge areas of software project management process, has a direct impact on the success of the Project. the success of the project can be estimated in the project first phase by creating a predictive risk model with the risks and results in similar projects. For this purpose, the studies on risk estimation and risk evaluation have started to show increase i...

Free flight is an effective way to solve the congestions of air traffic flow. In order to guarantee the flight security, there is great significance to study on collision risk assessment in free flight. This paper applies the idea of collision risk of fixed route based on conflict area for reference, firstly designs a conflict area and establishes the collision risk model in free flight on the ...

This paper proposes a framework for audited financial reporting that is intended to address major perceived limitations in current quality reporting principles. The paper thus addresses the potential decoupling problem between financial statement audits and what is being audited identified by Power (1997). Using an extended risk model, the framework not only identifies principles of quality fin...
