Developing and Validating a Behavioural Model of Cyberinsurance Adoption
2021
Business disruption from cyberattacks is a growing concern, yet cyberinsurance uptake remains low. Using an online behavioural economics experiment with 4800 participants across four EU countries, this study tests a predictive model of cyberinsurance adoption, incorporating elements of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as well as factors in relation to risk propensity and price. During the experiment, participants were given the opportunity to purchase different cybersecurity measures and cyberinsurance products before performing an online task. Participants likelihood of suffering a cyberattack was dependent upon their adoption of cybersecurity me…
Impact of Wind Electricity Forecasts on Bidding Strategies
2017
The change in the generation mix from conventional electricity sources to renewables has important implications for bidding behaviour and may have an impact on prices. The main goal of this work is to discover the role played by expected wind production, together with other relevant factors, in explaining the day-ahead market price through a data panel model. The Spanish market, given the huge increase in wind generation observed in the last decade, has been chosen for this study as a paradigmatic example. The results obtained suggest that wind power forecasts are a new key determinant for supply market participants when bidding in the day-ahead market. We also provide a conservative quanti…
Mannerlaatta analogisen ja digitaalisen välissä
2021
Artikkeli käsittelee Mika Taanilan ja Harry Salmenniemen kokeellista elokuvaa Mannerlaatta (2016), joka on tehty ilman kameraa. Mannerlaatassa vuorottelevat Taanilan kuvat ja Salmenniemen tekstit, ja se on valmistettu käyttäen sekä analogista filmiä että digitaalista teknologiaa. Pohdin erityisesti sen mediaalisia ominaispiirteitä tässä analogisen ja digitaalisen sekä kirjallisen ja elokuvallisen risteyskohdassa. Analyysi tarkentaa paitsi katsomiskokemukseen myös elokuvan valmistusprosessiin, ja siinä hyödynnetään media-arkeologiaa, jonka avulla analysoidaan, miten teknologiat eri ajoilta elävät teoksessa rinnakkain. Käsittelen ohessa myös korealais-amerikkalaisen Young-Hae Chang Heavy Indu…
The Diversification of Sicilian Farms: A Way to Sustainable Rural Development
2021
Rural areas still suffer from a lack of sustainable development, and the diversification of farms may be a step in the right direction. The paper provides a detailed picture of the diversification of Sicilian farms into tourism services. Specifically, we propose a simple indicator of localization intensity of agritourism farms and explore their spatial distribution at municipality level. Our study highlights that Sicilian farms rarely diversify into tourism services, despite being situated in attractive areas. That said, some significant spatial clusters of municipalities where agritourism farms are highly concentrated do emerge from the study.
Global Perspective on Marital Satisfaction
2020
Across the world, millions of couples get married each year. One of the strongest predictors of whether partners will remain in their relationship is their reported satisfaction. Marital satisfaction is commonly found to be a key predictor of both individual and relational well-being. Despite its importance in predicting relationship longevity, there are relatively few empirical research studies examining predictors of marital satisfaction outside of a Western context. To address this gap in the literature and complete the existing knowledge about global predictors of marital satisfaction, we used an open-access database of self-reported assessments of self-reported marital satisfaction wit…
Measuring the Economic, Environmental, and Social Sustainability of Short Food Supply Chains
2019
The production and distribution of food are among the hot topics debated in the context of sustainable development. Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are now widely believed to be more sustainable in comparison to mass food delivery systems. To date, very little quantitative evidence exists on the impacts of various types of food supply chains. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, this study assesses the sustainability of distribution channels in short and long food supply chains based on 208 food producers across seven countries: France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Ten distribution channel types are used in this study. To provide a comprehensiv…

In this work, a novel, dynamic sustainability assessment tool is presented and validated in a case study. This tool combines two methods&mdash
On the Substitutability between Paid-employment and Self-employment: Evidence from the Period 1969–2014 in the United States
2019
This paper provides estimates of the elasticity of substitution between operational and managerial jobs in the US economy during the years 1969–2014, derived from an aggregate CES production function. Estimating the long-term relationship between (the log of) the aggregate employment/self-employment ratio and (the log of) the returns from paid-employment relative to self-employment and testing for structural breaks, we report different estimates of the elasticity of substitution in each of the two regimes identified. To this end we apply the methodology on instability tests proposed in Kejriwal and Perron (2008, 2010) as well as the cointegration tests developed in Arai and Kurozumi (2007) …
Design in education and training
2019
Based on interviews with innovative companies in the education and training sector, this article studies the processes by which these companies innovate. The observations focus on the positioning of innovative companies in the field of education, the constraints that structure them, the processes implemented in the deployment of services and products, and the organization of communication on design. The results of the lexicometric analysis contribute to describing an episteme of contemporary design that both structures and limits the work of designers. This episteme partly reverses the Taylorist episteme of industrial design while retaining some of its characteristics. In particular, the hu…
Design in education and training
2019
À partir d’entretiens réalisés auprès d’entreprises innovantes du secteur de l’éducation et de la formation, cet article étudie les processus par lesquels ces entreprises innovent. Les observations portent sur le positionnement des entreprises innovantes dans le champ de l’éducation, les contraintes qui les structurent, les processus mis en œuvre dans le déploiement des services et produits, et l’organisation de la communication sur le design. Les résultats de l’analyse lexicométrique contribuent à décrire une épistémè du design innovant qui à la fois structure et limite le travail des designers. Celle-ci renverse en partie l’épistémè tayloriste du design industriel tout en héritant de cert…
