Journal Article
Chang, K., & Smithkrai, C. (2010). Counterproductive behaviour at work: An investigation into reduction strategies. International Journal of Human Resource Management, 21(8), 1272-1288. https://doi.org/10.1080/09585192.2010.483852

The present study examined the interrelation of personality characteristics,organizational justice, organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), and counterproductive

conducted, with 1662 p... Read More about Counterproductive behaviour at work: An investigation into reduction strategies.

The relationship between betting and lottery play (2010)
Journal Article
Forrest, D., Gulley, O., & Simmons, R. (2010). The relationship between betting and lottery play. Economic Inquiry, 48(1), 26-38. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1465-7295.2008.00123.x

We apply a novel daily time series data set of daily turnover from one of Britain’s
leading bookmakers to analyze potential substitution between lottery play and
bookmaker betting. We find some evidence that bettors do substitute away from horse
r... Read More about The relationship between betting and lottery play.

The 12th man?: refereeing bias in English and German soccer (2010)
Journal Article
German soccer. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A, 173(2), 431-449. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-985X.2009.00604.x

The paper investigates potential bias in awards of player disciplinary sanctions, in
the form of cautions (yellow cards) and dismissals (red cards) by referees in the English Premier
League and the German Bundesliga. Previous studies of behaviour o... Read More about The 12th man?: refereeing bias in English and German soccer.

Evaluating the effects of game design on lotto sales: a case study from Spain (2010)
Journal Article
Forrest, D., Perez, L., & Baker, R. (2010). Evaluating the effects of game design on lotto sales: a case study from Spain. ˜The œjournal of gambling business and economics (Print), 4(2), 1-19

In February, 2005 the Spanish National Lottery Agency (LAE) made several modifications to the design of one of its lotto games. The entry fee was not changed but the familiar 6/49 format was replaced by 5/54 + 1/10. This considerably lengthened the o...

Risk aversion in maintenance: a utility-based approach (2010)
Journal Article
Baker, R. (2010). Risk aversion in maintenance: a utility-based approach. IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 21(4), 319-332. https://doi.org/10.1093/imaman/dpn013

In the author's concept of risk-averse maintenance, introduced in a previous paper, we seek to minimize the disutility of cost per unit time rather than to minimize cost per unit time itself. This gives a maintenance policy that is optimal under risk... Read More about Risk aversion in maintenance: a utility-based approach.

Inference for meta-analysis with a suspected temporal trend (2010)
Journal Article
Baker, R., & Jackson, D. (2010). Inference for meta-analysis with a suspected temporal trend. Biometrical Journal, 52(4), 538-551. https://doi.org/10.1002/bimj.200900307

There is sometimes a clear evidence of a strong secular trend in the treatment effect of studies included in a meta-analysis. In such cases, estimating the present-day treatment effect by meta-regression is both reasonable and straightforward. We how...

How does the DerSimonian and Laird procedure for random effects meta-analysis compare with its more efficient but harder to compute counterparts? (2010)
Journal Article
random effects meta-analysis compare with its more efficient but harder to compute counterparts?. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 140(4), 961-970. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jspi.2009.09.017

The procedure suggested by DerSimonian and Laird is the simplest and most commonly used method for fitting the random effects model for meta-analysis. Here it is shown that, unless all studies are of similar size, this is inefficient when estimating...

Parallel trade of pharmaceutical products : the ECJ finally speaks — comment on GlaxoSmithKline (2010)
Journal Article
Petrucci, C. (2010). Parallel trade of pharmaceutical products : the ECJ finally speaks — comment on GlaxoSmithKline. European Law Review, 275-286

This article reviews the ECJ’s judgment in GlaxoSmithKline that overturned some important findings of the CFI’s decision. It criticises the longstanding problematic distinction between anti-competitive object and effect and, in particular, whether di...
