      <description>Title: How does subjective well-being evolve with age? A literature review
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: López Ulloa, Beatriz Fabiola; Møller, Valerie; Sousa-Poza, Alfonso
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: This literature review provides an overview of the theoretical and empirical research in several disciplines on the relation between ageing and subjective well-being, i.e., how subjective well-being evolves across the lifespan. Because of the different methodologies, data sets and samples used, comparison among disciplines and studies is difficult. However, extant studies do show either a U-shaped, inverted U-shaped or linear relation between ageing and subjective well-being.</description>

      <description>Title: Capability-based governance patterns over the product life-cycle
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Vermeulen, Ben; Pyka, A.; La Poutré, J. A.; de Kok, A. G.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We investigate patterns of vertical governance over the product life-cycle as function of the capability regime properties imitability and substitutability. We use a novel neo-Schumpeterian model to study emerging governance patterns. We find that, in the era of incremental change, firms prefer vertical specialization. In the era of ferment, no governance form dominates. Imitability and substitutability, in interplay, determine the governance form preferred. High imitability frustrates appropriation and thereby integration for synergistic advantages. However, firms need not vertically specialize: under low substitutability, incompatibilities reduce the advantages of specialization. When both substitutability and imitability are low, firms can appropriate the value of their inventions and there is no combinatorial advantage of specialization, so firms predominantly integrate. If substitutability is high and imitability is low, the combinatorial advantage of specialization balances with the synergistic advantage of integration.</description>
