Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

Dit project combineert en heroverweegt al het beschikbare bewijsmateriaal van het Scheurrak SO1 en gebruikt nieuwe archiefdatabases en moderne archeologische technieken om nieuw licht te werpen op de Baltische graanhandel en de Hollandse scheepsbouwindustrie rond de eeuwwisseling.

We analyse the link between media consumption and the attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS in Chile. We used data from a sample of 1000 people, obtained in the 2011 wave of the World Values Survey (WVS). We use a logistic binary regression model by maximum likelihood. Our results suggest that…
