More Haste, Less Speed? Signaling through Investment Timing

We consider a cash-constrained firm learning on the value of an irreversible project at a privately-known speed. Under perfect information, the optimal date of investment may be non-monotonic in the learning speed: better learning increases the value of experimenting further, but also the speed of updating. Under asymmetric information, the firm uses its investment timing to signal confidence i...

More Haste, Less Speed: Could Public–Private Partnerships Advance Cellular Immunotherapies?

Cellular immunotherapies promise to transform cancer care. However, they must overcome serious challenges, including: (1) the need to identify and characterize novel cancer antigens to expand the range of therapeutic targets; (2) the need to develop strategies to minimize serious adverse events, such as cytokine release syndrome and treatment-related toxicities; and (3) the need to develop effi...

Alternative vector control methods to manage the Zika virus outbreak: more haste, less speed - Authors' reply.

www.thelancet.com/lancetgh Vol 4 June 2016 e365 novel control strategies have been endorsed by WHO to tackle the current Zika virus outbreak. RIDL eff ectiveness might be reduced due to the presence of tetracycline in some natural environments. Further research will be needed to assess the spread and concentrations of tetracycline in natural surface waters. In areas where contamination with thi...

Rapid diagnostic tests for malaria

Maintaining quality, competitiveness and innovation in global health technology is a constant challenge for manufacturers, while affordability, access and equity are challenges for governments and international agencies. In this paper we discuss these issues with reference to rapid diagnostic tests for malaria. Strategies to control and eliminate malaria depend on early and accurate diagnosis. ...
