The purpose of this paper is to address how to handle uncertainty when performing an economic valuation of a medical innovation R&D project in orphan diseases from the perspective of the investor. We describe the specific uncertainty related to cash flows and the cost of capital for innovation in orphan diseases. The uncertainty in cash flows relates to sales, manufacturing and R&D costs, and probabilities of failure for each phase in the clinical trial program.

Objective: We sought to determine the premium associated with a career in academic surgery, as measured by compensation normalized to the work relative value unit (wRVU).
Background: An academic surgical career embodying innovation and mentorship offers intrinsic rewards but is not well monetized. We know compensation for academic surgeons is less than their nonacademic counterparts, but the value of clinical effort, as normalized to the wRVU, between academic and nonacademic surgeons has not been well characterized.
This paper measures the effect of seed quality misperceptions on bidding behavior and demand for high-quality seed using an information-provision experiment within an incentive-compatible Vickery Second Price (SPA) auction mechanism that mimics seed purchasing decisions in the presence of seed market frictions. We find that most individuals are prone to quality misperception and revise their bids upwards (downwards) in response to positive (negative) quality signals. In addition, by exploiting random variation in the timing of cash grants, we show that imperfect information influences farmer seed valuation, even in the presence of potentially binding liquidity constraints.

Background: Over 70% of Nigeria's population is poor and rural, and most lack financial risk protection against ill health. Community-based health insurance (CBHI) may be an essential intervention strategy for ensuring that quality healthcare reaches the informal and rural populations.
Aim: This article explores the willingness to enroll (WTE) and willingness to pay (WTP) for CBHI by community members, their decision considerations, and associated factors in Enugu State, Nigeria.

Unlabelled: To date, despite the existence of the sustainability goals of the 2030 Agenda and the need for an energy transition, the results set is still quite far away from being achieved. The awareness of this situation moves many European countries to promote policies based on the use of renewable sources. This paper is aimed at illustrating the Italian legislative context, evaluating the effectiveness of the introduced incentives, according to parameters that affect the productivity of a photovoltaic system.
