The Past

Over the past decade, transaction cost analysis (TCA) has received considerable attention in the marketing literature. Marketing scholars have made important contributions in extending and refining TCA's original conceptual framework. The authors provide a synthesis and integration of recent contributions to TCA by both marketers and scholars in related disciplines, an evaluation of recent critiques of TCA, and an agenda for further research on TCA.

Benefit Cost

Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is an attempt to evaluate the wisdom of a proposal through quantified reasoning. This article explains the measurement tools available to the analyst for estimation of welfare effects of food policies. It gives a detailed description of the conceptual framework behind these measurements. The methods and practice of economic analysis of food safety policies are nicely described in and many of the legal, policy, and economic aspects of ensuring a safe food supply are discussed. The article summarizes briefly the underlying conceptual framework of BCA, and then discusses the regulatory practice of policy evaluation of food consumption policies. It briefly highlights two recent examples of BCAs conducted for US food policies and illustrates the potential for other food education interventions.

Depth Interviews

Background: Quantitative studies in several European countries showed that 10–20% of older people have or have had a wish to die. Aims: To improve our understanding of why some older people develop a wish to die. Methods: In-depth interviews with people with a wish to die (n = 31) were carried out. Through open coding and inductive analysis, we developed a conceptual framework to describe the development of death wishes. Respondents were selected from two cohort studies. Results: The wish to die had either been triggered suddenly after traumatic life events or had developed gradually after a life full of adversity, as a consequence of aging or illness, or after recurring depression. The respondents were in a situation they considered unacceptable, yet they felt they had no control to change their situation and thus progressively “gave up” trying. Recurring themes included being widowed, feeling lonely, being a victim, being dependent, and wanting to be useful. Developing thoughts about death as a positive thing or a release from problems seemed to them like a way to reclaim control. Conclusions: People who wish to die originally develop thoughts about death as a positive solution to life events or to an adverse situation, and eventually reach a balance of the wish to live and to die.
