Regional Incentives and Patient Cross-Border Mobility: Evidence from the Italian Experience

Background In recent years, accreditation of private hospitals followed by decentralisation of the Italian National Health Service (NHS) into 21 regional health systems has provided a good empirical ground for investigating the Tiebout principle of “voting with their feet”. We examine the infra-regional trade-off between greater patient choice (due to an increase in hospital services supply) an...

Distinguishing anomaly-mediation from gauge-mediation with a Wino NLSP

A striking consequence of supersymmetry breaking communicated purely via the superconformal anomaly is that the gaugino masses are proportional to the gauge β-functions. This result, however, is not unique to anomaly-mediation. We present examples of “generalized” gauge-mediated models with messengers in standard model representations that give nearly identical predictions for the gaugino masse...

Semantic Mediation with OWL

This short paper resumes main ideas of a semantic mediation approach based on OWL. The number of web-based information systems increases continuously since the arrival of internet. The semantic web provides meta-data that is crucial for allowing for intelligent applications to work on an extremely vast data resource like internet. A mediation system is one of solutions responding to the needs o...
