Study results add to the limited body of knowledge about stakeholder perceptions during early implementation of Canadian SNPs. Dietitians can foster communication, engagement, and education of stakeholders, which will increase the likelihood that students and their families will accept SNPs.

Neoclassical investment decision criteria suggest that only the systematic component of total risk affects the rate of investment, as channeled through the built‐asset price. Alternatively, option‐based investment models suggest a direct role for total uncertainty in investment decisionmaking. To sort out uncertainty's role in investment, we specify and empirically estimate a structural model of asset‐market equilibrium. Commercial real estate time‐series data with two distinct measures of asset price and uncertainty are used to assess the competing investment models. Empirical results generally favor predictions of the option‐based model and hence suggest that irreversibility and delay are important considerations to investors. Our findings also have implications for macroeconomic policy and for forecasts of cyclical investment activity.

Modifying and consolidating previous research methods to generate more reliable estimates, some fairly weak evidence is found of inefficiency in the NFL betting market resulting from a bias favouring home underdog (against away favourite) teams. In contrast to previous research, no evidence is found that 'momentum strategies' generate significant returns in this market.
