Abstract:
MBA Professional Report<br>Investing for one's future is a concern for the majority of military retirees. Service members have more choices than their civilian counterparts when planning for retirement. One alternative available to military members is the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP), which allows retirees to provide for their family's welfare in the event of their untimely death. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cost effectiveness of SBP in comparison to other insurance or investment options. This paper provides an overview of SBP and possible alternatives.

This study examined if physician assistants (PAs) are cost-beneficial to employers. In an era of cost accountability, questions arise about whether a visit to a PA for an episode of care differs from a visit to a physician, and if PAs erode their cost-effectiveness by the manner in which they manage patients. Four common acute medical conditions seen by PAs and physicians within a large health maintenance organization were identified to study. An episode approach was undertaken to identify all laboratory, imaging, medication and provider costs for these diagnoses. Over 12,700 medical office vi

Abstract:
Cost-benefit analysis is an economic analysis tool that can be used to support public decision making, when there are several mutually exclusive alternatives being considered. It compares the monetary value of the benefits resulting from a specific project or policy with the costs accrued by it.

Effektivare transporter i stadskärnorna är något som citylogistik har som huvudsyfte då det är många godstransporter inne i städerna som bidrar till trängsel. Ett förslag för förbättrad citylogistik är att flera distribuerande företag skickar sitt gods till en omlastningscentral där godset sorteras och lastas om innan leverans in till city. Genom att flera företag använder sig av en omlastningscentral minskar behovet av fordon då fyllnadsgraden, som ofta är låg vid transport inne i city, ökar vid samlastning av varor och fordonsbehovet minskar.

Abstract:
Although numerous theoretical traditions postulate that human fairness depends on the ratio of costs-to-benefits, theory and empirical data remain divided on the direction of the effect. Particularly, answers to the following questions have remained unclear: how cost/benefit ratios affect people’s fairness decision-making during resource allocations, how cost/benefit ratios affect people’s emotions and cognition when they receive fair or unfair treatments, whether people are intuitively selfish or fair, and how cost/benefit ratios of sharing affect it. To address these questions, I conducted t

Abstract:
Organisations managing recreational sites commonly need to understand the factors influencing visitation choices made by the public and the impact they have on the value of their sites. This need is particularly pertinent with an increasing societal reliance on cost benefit analysis for project appraisal. Whilst on-site visitor surveys can provide information on preferences and values, the potential to transfer findings to predict visitor numbers and values at unsurveyed sites provides an attractive policy option. Indeed, the demand for these benefit transfer methodologies is increasing as mor

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the use of cost effectiveness for interventions in orthopaedics. This was done through three cost effectiveness articles that have been published by the author. In each of these articles, similar methodologies were used. Decision models were constructed for cost-effectiveness analyses of competing orthopaedic interventions. Outcome probabilities and effectiveness values were derived from the literature. Effectiveness was expressed in quality adjusted life years gained. Cost data were compiled and verified from either hospital cost data or from Medicare
