Det vanligaste transportsättet idag är bilen och fordonet är uppställt i långt större utsträckning än det är i färd. Detta skapar behov av stora ytor för parkering som idag ofta är avgiftsfria. Uppsatsen behandlar hur detta behov uppstod och hur samhället hanterar de olika parkeringssituationer som uppstår, med koncentration på Lunds kommun. Den väsentliga frågeställningen är vem som betalar parke

This paper looks for evidence of asymmetric effects of monetary policy on the real economy of the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. In order to do this, a “new Keynesian” model is used as a basis with the regressions performed in a VAR setting. The results indicate that there is no empirical support for asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks on the real economy. In fact, there is

Situationen har inte sett sådan ut överallt i världen, men den reglering som har följt efter krisen har fått fäste på många hå
This paper empirically examines the effect of emigration on unemployment in the CEE coun-tries of the EU during 2000-2007.

The idea for this thesis is based in an experience that strictly rule-governed formalist criticism does not seem to correspond to the fullness of its object,
