Abstract:
... Research for development (R4D) projects increasingly engage in multi-stakeholder innovation platforms (IPs) as an innovation methodology, but there is limited knowledge of how the IP methodology spreads from one context to another. That is, how experimentation with an IP approach in one context leads to it being succesfully replicated in other contexts. To inspire development actors to consider th ...

Abstract:
... Comparability is a key concept in the evaluation of both manufacturing changes and biosimilars. It constitutes a pragmatic and flexible approach which recognises that biologicals are inherently variable and that minor variations in quality attributes are often clinically irrelevant. In this discussion paper, we argue that comparability exercises rely on a number of pragmatic criteria. These criter ...

Abstract:
... The scientific endeavor has many facets, extending well beyond the experimental research bench. However, in most fields, especially in the biomedical sciences, the traditional career pathway for scientists is first joining and later leading an experimental research laboratory or program. As a result, scientific education is often focused on training new bench researchers. My own journey from a tra ...

Abstract:
... Many perceive climate change to be more relevant to distant places, future times, and other people than to the here and now and oneself. This perception has sparked interest in construal level theory (CLT) as a framework to understand how the public sees climate change, and how the subjective psychological distance at which people mentally represent objects affects their decisions and actions. Alt ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates return and cash flow predictability via the decomposition of VIX. The squared VIX index is decomposed into expected return variations (ERV) and variance risk premium (VRP). Without imposing a strong assumption on the dynamics of the return variations, I examine the predictability via the generalized method of moments (GMM) approach with appropriately chosen instruments.
