This book explores topics of importance to all who have an interest in economic methods for assessment of the efficacy and effectiveness of new cancer treatments and in regulatory measures relating to their marketing authorization and pricing. Targeted therapies and modern immunotherapy are placing a substantial strain on health care budgets. Regulation and economic methods to assess the parameters for establishing efficacy and effectiveness are therefore of prime importance. Payer authorities have to determine whether the use of these novel therapies yields clinical benefits that justify their increasing cost. In the simplest terms, cost-effectiveness analyses quantify the ratio between the extent to which an intervention raises healthcare costs and the extent to which it improves health outcomes. Rigorous cost-effectiveness analyses translate all health outcomes into quality-adjusted life years. On the other hand, in order to sustain innovation, price regulations must be coupled with efforts to ensure that drug companies are still able to recoup their investments in high-risk and high-costs research programs. Ultimately, decisions regarding health care expenditures are also a question of society’s willingness to pay.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften - Fahrzeugtechnik, Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Laut WHO gibt es jährlich 1,35 Millionen Verkehrstote weltweit. Damit kommt alle 24 Sekunden ein Mensch ums Leben. Doch wie lässt sich diese immens hohe Zahl reduzieren? Schon lange wird in diesem Zusammenhang über die Entwicklung des „autonomen Fahrens“ debattiert.Der Begriff „autonomes Fahren“ beschreibt das selbstständige Bewegen eines Objektes, welches sich ohne menschliche Einwirkung zielgerichtet im Verkehr fortbewegt. In dieser Arbeit möchte ich mich auf das autonome Fahren von Fahrzeugen im Straßenverkehr beschränken. Unter Experten wird geschätzt, dass sich ein kompletter Wechsel zur Autonomie bei Fahrzeugen erst ab 2070 durchsetzt. Bis dahin wird es einen Mischverkehr von autonomen und nicht-autonomen Fahrzeugen auf den Straßen geben. Die Entwicklung der Fahrzeugautomatisierung wird sich stufenweise fortsetzen.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - General, grade: 1,0, Institut for Interpreter and Languages Munich (Hochschule fur angewandte Sprachen), course: Business Economics, language: English, abstract: This paper will address the topic of trust in a sharing enterprise by first introducing the new economic force called sharing economy. The next two chapters will present the construct of trust on the basis of literature that deals with trust in a business context as well as trust in the sharing economy. Furthermore, a trust-building framework for online sharing services will be presented based on a recent study that was conducted, exclusively on the building process of Peer to Peer (P2P) trust. In the discussion section in Chapter 5 different approaches to the importance of trust for P2P marketplaces will be discussed. Subsequently, conclusions will be drawn based on the contents of the previous sections while there will be also made recommendations for the future. All over the world, people are renting rooms from strangers through Airbnb, outsourcing grocery trips to TaskRabbits, and getting across town with ride-sharing service BlaBlaCar. These people are participating in the sharing economy that has rapidly grown from a niche market to a mainstream social movement. Its continued growth thus the future success of sharing economy companies is contingent upon one crucial factor: trust. This term paper accordingly approaches the question: Can trust make or break a sharing enterprise?
