Scoping the problem is important in order to make sure that the policy problem provides a sufficient basis for a meaningful SCBA. Furthermore, the SCBA contributor must check whether the design of the SCBA is suitable for the problem and whether no other relevant solutions have been overlooked. SOCIAL COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF TOBACCO CONTROL POLICIES IN THE NETHERLANDS 21 Step 2: The reference scenario The reference … between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service relative to its market price. A consumer surplus occurs when the consumer is willing to pay more for a given product than the current market price, under the condition that the choice of buying a product is fully rational and out of free will. By contrast, a large body of empirical evidence from cognitive behavioural sciences demonstrates that smokers smoke because they are addicted and overestimate their ability to quit in the future … and thus to a lesser demand for pulmonologists in the Netherlands. Hence, less medical students will be trained to become. Similar scenarios can be made for, for example, the retail industry selling tobacco products.

Therefore, effects on the labour market are not estimated nor monetised in this SCBA …

In this talk, I will give an overview of some problems in AI and the legal domain, and approaches involving interval analysis for their solu- tion, including a project for the Dutch Tax Service in model-checking well-definedness of their computations. Querying Grey-Box Models Many AI sytems make a prediction or recommendation of an output variable y based on input variables x. Such a system is a black-box model: one can merely see the output returned … tech- nique presented in [7], which is essentially based on a change of coordinates to circumvent the necessity to account for infinitely many previous time instants.

One historical landmark is the Magna Carta, established in 1215 ensuring the rights for people to access the woodlands for fuel and heating. Back in these days, the woodlands were what these days fossil fuels...
The long read: complex, not impossible (part1)
Let’s make one thing clear from the start. The Federal Republic of Germany is not facing a constitutional crisis – not by a long stretch. This is despite the Liberals walking away from exploratory negotiations on forming the next federal government with the Christian Democrats (CDU), the Christian...
Why is the EU negotiating trade agreements in secret?
The EU is negotiating trade agreements in secret because orthodoxy, mysticism and a wishful thinking-based approach to policymaking have returned to power in Europe.
