Peeking into the Black Box of Researcher Mobility and Knowledge Diffusion
(2020-03-18)
This dissertation thesis presents four studies on the relevance of individuals’ mobility for the dissemination of knowledge. They add to the literature on the economics of science and innovation as well as regional economics. Previous literature has shown researcher mobility to be an important driver of knowledge diffusion and, subsequently, the creation of new knowledge. However, different mobility types are often correlated and hard to differentiate. This thesis tries to help advance this research strand, in ...

A systematic literature review exploring uncertainty management and sustainability outcomes in circular supply chains
(2021)
The circular economy (CE) has inspired the emergence of circular supply chains (CSCs) to reduce the environmental impacts of linear production systems. However, the transition to CSCs faces numerous challenges and uncertainties, which in turn impact the sustainability performance of CSCs. Following a systematic review process, this paper aims to identify the uncertainties that CSCs entail and the uncertainty management strategies which can be used to mitigate them to enhance their sustainability performance. A ...

The Impact of Missing Values on PLS, ML and FIML Model Fit
(2020)
Structural equation modelling has become widespread in the marketing research domain due to the possibility of creating and investigating latent constructs. Today, several estimation methods are available, each with strengths and drawbacks. This study investigates how the established estimation methods of partial-least-squares (PLS), maximum likelihood (ML) and full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) perform with an increasing percentage of missing values (MVs). The research was conducted by investigating an adapted ...
