On the process and outcomes of more stringent transfer pricing documentation requirements for business Ghent University
This project investigates the more stringent transfer pricing documentation requirements for companies. Applying qualitative and quantitative methods, it is examined 1) how companies influence the standard-setting of these requirements; 2) to what extent companies face compliance cost when applying the rules; 3) how the requirements affect their firm value. These insights significantly contribute to the current debate for more tax ...

Why Greece is not Nevada - The Role of Risk-Sharing in Attenuating Business Cycles Within Currency Unions KU Leuven
When several European countries decided to adopt a common currency more than 25 years ago, many economists warned that the currency union would face severe problem because euro area countries lacked alternative mechanisms to smooth out country-specific business cycles.

Bidirectional knowledge transfer between the applied research domain of process modeling and the theoretical core domain of cognitive psychology Ghent University
Observations of how people construct process representations have shed light on how people approach this task and why and when errors occur. One of the key findings is that certain techniques seem to be better than others, but no technique always outperforms the others. Therefore, the hypothesis will be examined that in order to get optimal results there needs to be a fit between the applied technique on the one hand and the task to be ...
