Orphan date September 2008 An embedded casestudy is a casestudy containing more than one sub unit of analysis Yin, 2003 . Similar to a casestudy , an embedded casestudy methodology provides a means of integrating quantitative and qualitative methods into a single research study Scholz & Tietje, 2002 Yin 2003 . However, the identification of sub units allows for a more detailed level of inquiry. The embedded casestudy design is an Empirical research empirical form of inquiry appropriate for descriptive studies, where the goal is to describe the features, context, and process of a phenomenon . A casestudy research methodology relies on multiple sources of evidence to add breadth and depth to data collection, to assist in bringing a richness of data together in an apex of understanding through triangulation , and to contribute to the validity of the research Yin, 2003 . The unique strength of this approach is this ability to combine a variety of information sources including documentation, interviews, and artifacts e.g., technology or tools . The casestudy is preferred in examining contemporary events, when the relevant behaviours cannot be manipulated Yin, 2003, p. 7 . The embedded casestudy approach is particularly relevant to examination of an environment where the boundaries between the phenomenon of interest and context are not clearly evident.

In a nested case control study , cases of a disease that occur in a defined cohort are identified and, for each, a specified number of matched controls is selected from among those in the cohort who have not developed the disease by the time of disease occurrence in the case. For many research questions, the nested case control design potentially offers impressive reductions in costs and efforts of data collection and analysis compared with the full cohort approach, with relatively minor loss in statistical efficiency see restricted randomization . The nested case control design is particularly advantageous for studies of biologic precursors of disease. To advance its prevention research agenda, NIH might be encouraged to maintain a registry of new and existing cohorts, with an inventory of data collected for each to foster the development of specimen banks and to serve as a clearinghouse for information about optimal storage conditions for various types of specimens. Compared with case control studies , nested case control studies can reduce recall bias and temporal ambiguity, and compared with cohort studies can reduce cost and save time. The drawback of nested case control studies is non diseased persons from whom the controls are selected may not be fully representative of the original cohort, due to death or failure to follow up cases. Similar terms Panel study A case control study in which cases and controls are drawn from within a prospective study. All cases who developed the outcome of interest during the follow up are selected and compared with a subgroup of the non cases. Exposure is defined prior to disease development based on data collected at baseline or on assays conducted in biological samples collected at baseline.

no footnotes date June 2010 An ecological study is an epidemiological study in which the unit of analysis is a population rather than an individual. For instance, an ecological study may look at the association between smoking and lung cancer deaths in different countries. An ecological study is normally regarded as inferior to non ecological designs such as cohort study cohort and case control studycase control studies because it is susceptible to the ecological fallacy . An example of an ecological study is the analysis of the effects of disinfection byproducts on newborn babies, using 109 Massachusetts towns as units of analysis Wright et al. 2004 . For an environmental definition of this term see Ecology . Ecological studies can be easily confused with cohort studies, especially if different cohorts are located in different places. The difference is that in the case of ecological studies there is no information available about the individual members of the populations compared e.g. comparing several states based on state wide average air pollution and state wide average prevalence of respiratory diseases whereas in a cohort study the data pair exposure health is known for each individual. In spite of their weaknesses, ecological studies are useful because they can be carried out easily, quickly and inexpensively using data that are generally already available. If interesting and strong associations are observed, the results of ecological studies can provide the opportunity for later, more carefully designed studies though more expensive and time consuming to build on the initial observations.

Depot An Event Probability CaseStudy, Review of Industrial Organization , Vol. 19, No. 4, 2001 ...An Event study is a statistics statistical method to assess the impact of an event on the value of a firm. For example, the announcement of a merger between two business entities can be analyzed to see whether investors believe the merger will create or destroy value. The basic idea is to find the abnormal return attributable to the event being studied by adjusting for the return that stems from the price fluctuation of the market as a whole. ref Ronald J. Gilson and Bernard S. Black, The Law and Finance of Corporate Acquisitions, 2 edition, 1995, 194 195. ref Event studies have been used in a large variety of studies, including mergers and acquisitions, earnings announcements, debt or Stock equity issues, corporate reorganisations, investment decisions and corporate social responsibility MacKinlay 1997 McWilliams & Siegel, 1997 . Motivation The logic behind the event study methodology within the specific context of merger s is explained in Warren Boulton and Dalkir 2001 Investors in financial markets bet their dollars on whether a merger will raise or lower prices. A merger that raises market prices will benefit both the merging parties and their rivals and thus raise the prices for all their shares. Conversely, the financial community may expect the efficiencies from the merger to be sufficiently large to drive down prices. In this case, the share values of the merging firms rivals fall as the probability of the merger goes up. Thus, evidence from financial markets can be used to predict market price effects when significant merger related events have taken place.
