Risk is at the centre of many policy decisions in companies, governments and other institutions.The risk of road fatalities concerns local governments in planning countermeasures, the risk and severity of counterparty default concerns bank risk managers daily and the risk of infection has actuarial and epidemiological consequences. However, risk cannot be observed directly and it usually varies...

The road-effect zone is the area in which ecological effects extend outward from a road. Dispersed off-highway vehicle (OHV; e.g., four-wheelers and snowmachines) activity on rural road networks creates a disturbance that reduces the effective amount of wildlife habitat and therefore has the potential for an extensive road-effect zone. Consequently, land managers must consider the trade-offs be...

Robustness of a network is, as main aim for road network managers these days, becoming an important study area for transportation scientists now. This paper discusses one specific aspect of robustness: the consequences of the blocking of a link in a road network using a traffic simulator. In a regional size road network simulation study, sequentially links are blocked and the simulation program...

bject technology is seen by many as the Yellow Brick Road to improved productivity, reliability, maintainability, and software 0 reusability. Because of this, the software development community rushed to adopt OT. As with all technological breakthroughs, OT has yielded successes and failures. The failures have been due largely to inexperience and a lack of planning by project managers for the t...

In this paper we investigate whether macroeconomic uncertainty could distort banks’ allocation of loanable funds. To provide a road– map for our empirical investigation, we present a simple framework which demonstrates that lower uncertainty about the return from lending should lead to a more unequal distribution of lending across banks as managers take advantage of more precise knowledge of di...
