Returns to Density in Operations of the Netherlands Railways
Rail cost function analysis has been a popular topic in the (empirical) economics literature over the past decades. Most studies find increasing returns to density for rail companies. The results can, however, be quite diverse. Results for the Dutch National Railway company (NS), for instance, indicate very strong increasing returns to density Andrikopoulos and Loizides, 1998) or decreasing returns to density (Preston, 1994). Using the, to our knowledge, most comprehensive dataset for the NS, this paper estimates a translog variable cost function for the NS. While the returns to density parameter shows increasing returns, like so many other papers, the calculated standard errors shows that the null hypothesis of constant returns may not be rejected.

La donna del buio
La stanchezza, l'insonnia e il desiderio di stringere una donna tra le braccia conducono Daniel davanti al PC, a confessare i suoi desideri su una piattaforma visibile a tutti. Una donna commenta la sua dichiarazione e accetta di incontralo purché si bendi gli occhi. E quella diverrà la "donna del buio", il buio in cui l'uomo è costretto dalla benda che usa per coprire gli occhi, ma anche il buio che acuirà ogni altro suo senso e lo renderà consapevole dei contatti con la sua compagna sconosciuta. Ma fino a che punto è un'estranea? La Saga dei Mayer continua. Ne "La donna del buio" ritroviamo personaggi che abbiamo già conosciuto in "Una fidanzata su misura" e ne "Il bacio del Gatto", cugini e fratelli che popolano la vita di Daniel e che sono uniti da un unico filo conduttore; conoscere le proprie partner ignorando chi siano in realtà e godendo della magia del mistero che renderà ogni incontro ammantato di oscura ambiguità e calda e vivida passione. Ancora un romanzo intrigante ed erotico.

Linking Emotional Intelligence and Performance at Work
In this edited volume, leading edge researchers discuss the link between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and workplace performance. Contributors from many areas such as social science, management (including organizational practitioners), and psychologists have come together to develop a better understanding of how EI can influence work performance, and whether research supports it. A unique feature of this book is that it integrates the work of social scientists and organizational practitioners. Their mutual interests in EI provide a unique opportunity for basic and applied research and practices to learn from one another in order to continually refine and advance knowledge on EI. The primary audience for this book is researchers, teachers, and students of psychology, management, and organizational behavior. Due to its clear practical applications to the workplace, it will also be of interest to organizational consultants and human resource practitioners.
