respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential, based on historical
data of SARS-CoV-2. Clustered social contact patterns have been
pivotal in combination with stochasticity to explain disease spread
and heterogeneous behaviour. Therefore, we focus on mathematical
models that accommodate heterogeneity in infection acquisition and

From Low Fares to No Fares: An Analysis of Economic, Operational, Socio-Spatial and Political Dynamics of Fare-Free Public Transport Vrije Universiteit Brussel
public transport (PT) systems, otherwise known as fare-free public
transport (FFPT). Although FFPT has become an established
practice, discussed and implemented by policy-makers across
Europe, it remains largely controversial and under-researched. The
main objective of the project is therefore to understand both
transport-related ...

Critical revision of the management guidelines for non-melanoma skin cancer from a public health & economic perspective. Ghent University
Skin cancer is by far the most frequent cancer worldwide and we modeled that the number of skin cancer patients will triple over the next 20 years. Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is responsible for about 90% of all skin cancers and originate from keratinocytes, called basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)). The remaining 10% of skin cancers are melanomas, arising from malignant degeneration of melanocytes and are ...
Big data for empirical research in business and economics - Databases & software for research in accounting, banking, economics, and (corporate) finance Ghent University
Our research in business and economics is geared towards producing high-quality, mainly empirical, research aimed at publication in highly ranked journals. For the areas covered in this proposal (economics, banking, (corporate) finance, accounting), this objective requires permanent access to essential databases with granular raw data. They constitute the basic infrastructure to support all types of fundamental and policy-oriented research. ...
Economics of the New Digital Age KU Leuven
Implementation of digital technology such as automation is one of the main features of today’s economy. As it may improve efficiency at the production level and foster growth, it is also having rupturing effects on the labor market. Robotic technology may soon make all human workers within car assemblage obsolete; shop assistants will no longer be needed with self-scan computers that let you pay for your groceries. The ongoing ICT and ...

Individual Welfare Analysis based on Behavioural Economics KU Leuven
Economists evaluate social and economic policies based on their impact on the individual well-being of the members of society. Such measurement depends mostly on the assumption that individuals behave according to well-behaved (i.e. transitive and complete) preferences. Motivated by the overwhelming empirical evidence from psychology and behavioural economics, according to which individual behavior often seems inconsistent with wellbehaved ...
