  • On the predictions of cumulative prospect theory for third and fourth order risk preferences

    Open AccessIvan Paya, Dominic Peel et al.ARTICLETheory and Decision2023

    In this paper, we analyse higher-order risky choices by the representative cumulative prospect theory (CPT) decision maker from three alternative reference points. These are the status quo, average payout and maxmin. The choice tasks we consider in our analysis include binary risks, and are the ones employed in the experimental literature on higher order risk preferences. We demonstrate that the choices made by the representative subject depend o…

  • Exploring domains of contemporary Australian agrarianism

    Open AccessDominic Peel, Helen L Berry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sociology2023Cited by: 1References: 27

    The idealisation of rural work, people, and communities is remarkably persistent in Western countries. With the diminishing role of agriculture in national economies and changing values, this agrarian sentiment could be expected to lose currency. Yet, agrarian tropes and narratives remain evident in popular culture, political discourse, and public policy. Flinn and Johnson, in the 1970s, pioneered empirical studies of agrarianism based on a regio…

  • Cost-effectiveness and sustainability of improved hospital oxygen systems in Nigeria

    Open AccessHamish R Graham, Ayobami A Bakare et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    INTRODUCTION: Improving hospital oxygen systems can improve quality of care and reduce mortality for children, but we lack data on cost-effectiveness or sustainability. This study evaluated medium-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the Nigeria Oxygen Implementation programme. METHODS: Prospective follow-up of a stepped-wedge trial involving 12 secondary-level hospitals. Cross-sectional facility assessment, clinical audit (January-March…

  • Traffic in a nursery: Ship strike risk from commercial vessels to migrating humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in a rapidly developing Australian urban embayment

    Open AccessRaphael Mayaud, Juliana Castrillon et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2022

    The rapid recovery of the Australian humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population and parallel increase in maritime traffic, has increased the spatial overlap between whales and vessels in Australian waters. Ship strike is a recognized global anthropogenic source of mortality or injury to large whales, and a potentially increasing risk in Australia. However, our understanding and evaluation of this threat to humpback whales around Australia…

  • The development and implementation of an oxygen treatment solution for health facilities in low and middle-income countries

    Open AccessStephen R C Howie, Stephen RC Howie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Oxygen reduces mortality from severe pneumonia and is a vital part of case management, but achieving reliable access to oxygen is challenging in low and middle-income country (LMIC) settings. We developed and field tested two oxygen supply solutions suitable for the realities of LMIC health facilities. METHODS: A Health Needs Assessment identified a technology gap preventing reliable oxygen supplies in Gambian hospitals. We used simul…

  • Spatial targeting of early childhood interventions: A comparison of developmental vulnerability in two Australian cities

    Dominic Peel, Robert TantonARTICLEAustralian Geographer2020References: 53

    Healthy development in early childhood is a predictor of success in later life. As such, monitoring the development of young children and, where appropriate, intervening to support that development is of critical importance. However, resources available to support early childhood development are limited and must be allocated in the most efficient way possible. In this paper, we discuss the role of spatial targeting in the allocation of those reso…

  • Farm exit, wellbeing and autonomy: A quantitative analysis of exited farmers in Australia

    Open AccessDominic Peel, Jacki Schirmer et al.ARTICLERural Society2019References: 17

    In many developed countries, the number of farmers working in commercial agriculture continues to decline with more likely to leave in the future. The act of farming and autonomy of farming work are central to farmers’ identity. Although loss of autonomy when exiting farming may pose a threat to identity and reduce farmer wellbeing, these are notable gaps in existing social research. This article retrospectively examines farmer autonomy and wellb…

  • Identifying and detecting potentially adverse ecological outcomes associated with the release of gene-drive modified organisms

    Open AccessKeith R Hayes, Geoffrey R Hosack et al.ARTICLEJournal of Responsible Innovation2018

    Synthetic gene drives could provide new solutions to a range of old problems such as controlling vector-borne diseases, agricultural pests and invasive species. In this paper, we outline methods to identify hazards and detect potentially adverse ecological outcomes at the individual (genotype, phenotype), population, community and ecosystem level, when progressing Gene Drive Modified Organisms through a phased test and release pathway. We discuss…

  • A More General Non‐expected Utility Model as an Explanation of Gambling Outcomes for Individuals and Markets

    Open AccessDominic Peel, David Peel et al.ARTICLEEconomica2009Cited by: 1References: 45

    One feature of experimental work is the heterogeneity in risk attitudes and probability distortion displayed by agents. We outline a more general non‐expected utility model, which nests the models of Markowitz, and Kahneman and Tversky. The model can generate the standard favourite–longshot bias or a reverse favourite–longshot bias as a result of optimal behaviour. We also provide new empirical evidence on the relationship between Tote and bookma…

  • Governance and planning policy in the marine environment: Regulating aquaculture in Scotland

    Open AccessDominic Peel, M G LloydARTICLEGeographical Journal2008Cited by: 6References: 21

    This paper provides a new discussion of the emerging governance regime for marine and coastal environments. It examines the evolution from a non-statutory to a statutory planning regulatory regime for marine aquaculture in Scotland. Specifically, the definition of development, which underpins the statutory operation of the terrestrial planning system, has been extended to include aquaculture developments within 12 nautical miles of the coast. Thi…

  • The Land Use Planning System in Scotland – But Not as we Know it

    Open AccessDominic Peel, M G LloydARTICLEScottish Affairs2006Cited by: 2References: 3

    In December 2005, the Scottish Executive published its Planning etc (Scotland) Bill. This sets out a raft of measures to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the statutory land use planning system, whilst promoting greater inclusion and opportunities for public involvement (Peel and Lloyd 2006). The Bill followed the publication of a Discussion Paper, Modernising the Planning System, which was issued in late June 2005 (Scottish Executive 2…

  • Smooth Transition Models and Arbitrage Consistency

    Open AccessDominic Peel, David A Peel et al.ARTICLEEconomica2005References: 30

    Slow adjustment of real exchange rate towards equilibrium in linear models has long puzzled researchers, stimulating the adoption of nonlinear models. The exponential smooth transition model has been particularly successful, providing faster adjustment speeds. This paper discusses some of its theoretical limitations, for example that expectations are adaptive. We propose a new nonlinear model conceptually superior to the ESTAR model since it is c…

  • Optimal monetary policy: Is price‐level targeting the next step

    Open AccessPatrick Minford, Dominic Peel et al.ARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2003References: 3

    We examine whether inflation targeting should be regarded as optimal. Targeting inflation implies (undesirably) that price level variance tends to infinity: we produce some evidence from both a representative agent model and a long‐used forecasting model that, once an endogenous indexation response is allowed for, price level targeting imposes no extra costs of macro variability, indeed gives significant gains

  • Optimal Discretionary Monetary Policy in a Model of Asymmetric Central Bank Preferences

    Open AccessA Robert Nobay, Dominic Peel et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2003Cited by: 1References: 8

    This paper considers optimal monetary policy in the context of the central bank adopting an asymmetric objective function. Our results show that under asymmetric preferences, many of the extant results on the time consistency problem need no longer hold

  • Insider Trading, Herding Behaviour and Market Plungers in the British Horse–race Betting Market

    Open AccessDavid Law, David R Law et al.ARTICLEEconomica2002Cited by: 3

    Crafts [N. F. R. Crafts (1985) Economica , 52 , 295—304] suggested that a pronounced shortening of bookmaker odds in horse–race betting markets could indicate the presence of insider traders. This paper uses the Shin [H. S. Shin (1993) Economic Journal , 103 , 1141—53] measure of the incidence of insider trading at the beginning of the betting period (opening prices) and at the end of it (starting prices) to distinguish the shortening of odds cau…

  • The Relationship between Two Indicators of Insider Trading in British Racetrack Betting

    Open AccessMichael Cain, David Law et al.ARTICLEEconomica2001Cited by: 1

    This paper examines whether a measure of insider trading in betting markets derived from the Shin (1993) model is significantly related in samples of horse and greyhound races to an alternative, independently derived, indicator of insider activity suggested by Crafts (1985), namely plunges in the odds offered against a particular competitor on the day of a race. The analysis suggests that there is a significant relationship

  • Finite Mixture Models

    Open AccessGeoffrey J McLachlan, Geoffrey McLachlan et al.BOOKFinite Mixture Models (Wiley…2000

    The important role of finite mixture models in the statistical analysis of data is underscored by the ever-increasing rate at which articles on mixture applications appear in the statistical and general scientific literature. The aim of this article is to provide an up-to-date account of the theory and methodological developments underlying the applications of finite mixture models. Because of their flexibility, mixture models are being increasin…

  • The Favourite‐Longshot Bias and Market Efficiency in UK Football betting

    Open AccessMichael Cain, David Law et al.ARTICLEScottish Journal of Political…2000Cited by: 5

    It is shown that the individual fixed‐odds betting market on UK football exhibits the same favourite‐longshot bias as that found in horse‐racing. The bias appears both in betting on results (home win, away win or draw) and in betting on specific scores, and there are certain trading rules which appear to be profitable. Poisson and Negative Binomial regressions are carried out to estimate the mean number of goals scored by a team in a match with g…

  • Modelling Business Cycle Nonlinearity in Conditional Mean and Conditional Variance: Some International and Sectoral Evidence

    Open AccessDominic Peel, D A Peel et al.ARTICLEEconomica1998Cited by: 1

    This paper tests for the presence of output mean and variance nonlinearities in international industrial production and UK and US sectoral production growth rates using ARMA–GQARCH, bilinear (BL) and joint BL–GQARCH models. ARMA–GQARCH models confirm the presence of asymmetric variance effects in Italian, UK and US industrial production and in all sectors other than US nondurables, and such that the conditional variance of output is increased fol…
