The Netherlands has been a historic locus of RAND research, having once served as the headquarters of RAND Europe—RAND's independently chartered European subsidiary—from its founding in the mid-1990s through 2006. Research on the Netherlands continues to focus on defense and infrastructure projects, as well as transportation and health care.
To support security forces in responding more efficiently and effectively to prevent terrorist attacks or limit their consequences, with an emphasis on urban environments, RAND Europe is part of a consortium looking to build a decision-making framework for the EU and beyond. Project TACTICS, which stands for Tactical Approach to Counter Terrorists in Cities, is being coordinated by TNO in the Netherlands and implemented by 11 research institutes in Europe and Israel.
REPORT
The report presents the overall findings of work carried out within the DISMEVAL project. It reviews approaches to chronic care in Europe and reports on methods and metrics for the evaluation of disease management interventions in six countries.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
In the Netherlands employers were encouraged to invest more in education and training instead of preferential age-related benefits, as part of efforts to make employing older staff more attractive to companies.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
DHV, a company reliant on the knowledge and personal skills of people, has placed strong emphasis on training and development, on promoting a healthy workforce, as well as on new ways of working, all of which provide more freedom for workers to choose the means to do their work.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
This study aims to examine the empirical consequences of officially tolerated retail sales of cannabis in the Netherlands, and possible implications for the legalization debate.
REPORT
This report reviews information systems that report on the quality or performance of providers of healthcare in seven countries to inform the use and further development of quality information systems in the English NHS.
REPORT
To inform Netherlands future defence planning, RAND Europe identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the Netherlands armed forces, focusing on recent Netherlands deployments relative to the deployments of other countries.
REPORT
Testimony presented before the Dutch Parliamentary Committee for Defence on April 6, 2009.
REPORT
In 2008, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence conducted a comparative analysis of potential candidates to replace its F-16 fighter aircraft. This report presents RAND Europe's evaluation of that analysis.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
This article aims to contribute to the debate around how organizations could learn from the experience of others in designing performance indicators and management systems.
REPORT
The National Audit Office (NAO) of the United Kingdom, in order to determine the structure and effectiveness of Department of Health and National Health System interventions aimed at preventing and reducing alcohol harm in England, commissioned RAND Europe to examine similar programs in Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States.
REPORT
Provides an overview and comparison of international health research evaluation frameworks to consider what modifications might be needed to adapt such a framework for the Canadian context.
REPORT
This report, which was commissioned by the National Audit Office (NAO) in the United Kingdom. presents results of a comparative study investigating the implementation of education programmes for 14-19 year olds in three countries: The Netherlands, Sweden, and Australia.
REPORT
Presents the results of a study intended to help the Forum Standaardisatie develop a Dutch interoperability framework (IF), which is seen as a key step in promoting eGovernment in The Netherlands, as well as Dutch participation in emerging pan-European government Services.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Investments in health research should lead to improvements in health and health care. This is also the remit of the main HTA program in the Netherlands. The aims of this study were to assess whether the results of this program have led to such improvements and to analyze how best to assess the impact from health research.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
A substantial amount of research is presently being carried out to understand the complexities involved in modelling the choice of departure time and mode of travel.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Provides a review of transport model applications that not only provide a central traffic forecast (or forecasts for a few scenarios), but also quantify the uncertainty in the traffic forecasts in the form of a confidence interval or related measures. Both uncertainty that results from using uncertain inputs (e.g. on income) and uncertainty in the model itself are treated.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
The paper contains a review of the theoretical and applied literature on the use of logsums as a measure of consumer surplus change in project appraisal and evaluation.
JOURNAL ARTICLE
With time periods of the magnitude generally represented in practical modelling, i.e. peak periods of 2-3 hours, time switching is generally more sensitive in these data than mode switching. However, the context of the modelling and the extent to which relevant variables can be measured will strongly influence these results.
