We examine the predictive validity of survey-measured left-right political ideology by testing whether this measure is able to explain observed choices regarding equality versus efficiency. We study this in a real-effort distribution experiment, in which decision-makers allocate money equally or...

We conduct predictive validity tests using revealed and stated behavior data from a panel survey of North Carolina coastal households. The application is to hurricane evacuation behavior. Data was initially collected after Hurricane Bonnie led to hurricane evacuations in North Carolina in 1998....

This paper presents a test of the predictive validity of various classes of QALY models (i.e., linear, power and exponential models). We first estimated TTO utilities for 43 EQ-5D chronic health states and next these states were embedded in health profiles. The chronic TTO utilities were then...

Goel proposed generalization of the Goel-Okumoto (G-O) software reliability growth model (SRGM), in order to model the failure intensity function, i.e. the rate of occurrence of failures (ROCOF) that initially increases and then decreases (I/D), which occurs in many projects due to the learning...

Researchers can rely on either on retrospectively reported or on prospectively measured health changes to identify and quantify recent changes in respondents’ health status. The two methods typically do not provide the same answers. This paper compares the criterion validity of prospective...

Due to a widely spread distrust in the signalling value of school grades, Swiss employers require external, standardized aptitude test results when recruiting new apprentices. However, the predictive quality of such test results has never been thoroughly researched. Therefore, this case study...
