Performing fair trade at the point of purchase : a study of the socio-material enactment of fair trade consumption and markets Universiteit Gent
Ethical consumption at the point of purchase: studying customers in a fair trade shop Universiteit Gent
Show me more! The influence of visibility on sustainable food choices Universiteit Gent
Visual cues are omnipresent in an in-store environment and can enhance the visibility of a product. By using these visual cues, policy makers can design a choice environment to nudge consumers towards more sustainable consumer behavior. In this study, we use a combined nudge of display area size and quantity of displayed products to nudge consumers towards more sustainable meat choices. We performed a field experiment of four weeks in a ...
Patient experiences of over-the-counter medicine purchases in Flemish community pharmacies KU Leuven
Objective Patient use of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines contributes to improving public health and reducing public pharmaceutical expenditure. However, little is known of patient experiences of pharmacy distribution and services related to OTC medicines. The aim of this study is to explore patient experiences of purchasing OTC medicines in Flemish community pharmacies. Method Data were gathered from an anonymous postal questionnaire survey of ...
Noise reduction in coarse bifurcation analysis of stochastic agent-based models: an example of consumer lock-in KU Leuven
© 2014 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics We investigate coarse equilibrium states of a fine-scale, stochastic, agent-based model of consumer lock-in in a duopolistic market. In the model, agents decide on their next purchase based on a combination of their personal preference and their neighbors' opinions. For agents with independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) parameters and all-to-all coupling, we derive an analytic ...
Belgian evolution and future perspectives on the adoption of electric vehicles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Climate urgency, bad air quality and energy dependency are all concerns that highlight the current
road transportation system limits. These concerns originate from the dominance of the internal
combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) technology and its detrimental side effects on the society. Moving
from the ICEV technology is necessary if we want to achieve a more sustainable system. With this in
mind, the European Union ...

Unveiling the relationship between the transaction timing, spending and dropout behavior of customers KU Leuven
The customer lifetime value combines into one construct the transaction timing, spending and dropout processes that characterize the purchase behavior of customers. Recently, the potential relationship between these processes, either at the individual customer level (i.e. intra-customer correlation) or between customers (i.e. inter-customer correlation), has received more attention. In this paper, we propose to jointly unveil the direction and ...

Toward a Critique of Algorithmic Violence Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Questions about how algorithms contribute to (in)security are under discussion across international political sociology. Building upon and adding to these debates, our collective discussion foregrounds questions about algorithmic violence. We argue that it is important to examine how algorithmic systems feed (into) specific forms of violence, and how they justify violent actions or redefine what forms of violence are deemed legitimate. Bringing ...
