The cost-effectiveness threshold for resource allocation in healthcare: a population ethics perspective KU Leuven
Effects of parental resource acquisition and allocation strategies on offspring health in a migratory species: a field experiment. Ghent University
I will determine to what extent life-history strategies related to resource acquisition and allocation interact through the annual cycle of Lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus). I will therefore integrate individual-based eco-toxicological, biogeochemical, physiological and biometric markers that provide information on disparate life-history stages and combine these with detailed GPS-tracking/observations and controlled field experiments ...
Towards resilient cross-breed dairy systems in Northern Ethiopia: a resource allocation assessment to determine appropriate selection targets and nutritional management Ghent University
The introduction of Holstein-Friesian genetics is often proposed to meet high demands for milk in tropical regions. However, these ‘specialist genotypes’ are particularly adapted to ‘non-constrained’ environments and might suffer from seasonal variation in feed quality and availability, particularly during early lactation. On-farm monitoring, controlled experiments and model simulations are combined to assess responses of genetic selection ...

Competition, market structure and the allocation of resources. KU Leuven
In this research proposal I describe the two main research programs on which I will focus over the next five years (2015−2020). The two topics are sufficiently distinct and therefore I will describe them separately. Both topics, however, draw substantially on some of my earlier work. In particular some of the methodological contributions to the estimation of production functions and markups have opened a set of new research avenues; including ...

Who gets what if money can't buy it? Increasing welfare in allocation problems Ghent University
Deciding how scarce resources should be assigned to people when monetary transfers are inappropriate is a common problem in our society (e.g. assigning students to schools, patients to organ donors, ...). In this proposal, we aim to improve existing allocation mechanisms by enforcing that the resulting lottery results in a higher (and guaranteed) welfare for society, however, while keeping as much as possible the beneficial properties (e.g. ...
