Hoe duur is Lotto?

In dit artikel gaan we na in hoeverre de vraag op de Belgische Lottomarkt zich laat beschrijven door de effectieve prijs van een rooster: het gedeelte van de nominale prijs dat een speler statistisch gezien verliest bij een bepaalde trekking. De relatieve aantrekkelijkheid van een welbepaalde trekking kan hierdoor behoorlijk accuraat voorspeld worden. Schattingen van de prijselasticiteit wijzen uit dat de marktvraag op korte termijn prijsongevoelig is. Mogelijk kan de Nationale Loterij haar omzet dus verhogen door een ingreep in de spelstructuur.

Comparing regional human development using global frontier difference indices

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd It is well-known that composite indicator construction relies on several intermediate modelling steps and that, as a result, one should be cautious about the exact rankings of observations on the basis of specific composite index values. One way to deal with this concern rests on comparing groups rather than individual observations, which has e.g. been advocated for the well-known Human Development Index. Data Envelopment Analysis, which has become quite popular for composite indicator construction, also provides some tools to assess such intergroup differences. We here focus on the Global Frontier Difference index as introduced by Asmild and Tan [1]; and use some variants of this index to study inter-regional differences in human development performance.status: Published onlin
