Univariate sensitivity analysis showed that addition of ERN/LRPT 2 g remained cost-effective (ICER below €30,000 per LYG) in both scenarios independent of changes in discount rate, event costs, medication costs, the level of baseline CHD risk and mean maintenance dose of ERN/LRPT (1.5 g/day [50% on 1g/day and 50% on 2 g/day] rather than 2 g/day), and discontinuation rates for ERN/LRPT (Table 5).
"On the back of E.ON's change to the discount structure of its FixOnline 3 tariff on Wednesday, Scottish Power responded with a new Online Energy Saver 7, best buy in five of 14 regions, making them the cheapest in the UK, on average, of the big players at £975 per year.
A sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the dynamics of investment value and optimal timing of investment under the changes in discount rates and volatility of coal prices.
Overall, changes in discount rates of future costs were the most influential parameter.
But much of what Mr. Johnson changed — getting rid of discounts and revamping stores for a more upscale market — sent existing customers away without attracting new ones.
The chapter concludes with two empirical pieces: a survey of economists on the appropriate public rate of discount for global climate change, and an overview of discounting practices within the federal government.
The dependent variable in the model was the price change (discount) of the new therapy.
For example, the SEV is unstable between discount rates of 1 to 2%, as small changes in discount rate strongly affect profitability, but changes in the discount rate above 2% have weaker effects on SEV.
The two-way sensitivity analysis of discount rate for both costs and effect showed a relatively small change in ICER.
The two-way sensitivity analysis of discount rate for both costs and effect did not show any change in the dominance of UFT therapy.
Also, using an integrated framework such as DIAS enables the relative importance of the different factors (i.e. degree of climate change, assets value, discount rate etc).
