This study investigates the effect of remediation of contaminated sites on nearby property prices in Västra Götaland, Sweden. Using a hedonic property framework combined with a multi-period Difference-in-Differences method, the aim is to examine whether remediation leads to measurable changes in housing values. The analysis builds on the approach used by Haninger, Ma, and Timmins (2017), but appli

This paper investigates the impact income and wealth inequality have on redistribution through economic policy. The question is unresolved in the current literature. Addressing a key research gap, we analyze both income and wealth inequality as potential drivers of redistribution. Using a cross-country panel data study of 24 countries in the OECD, we estimate two different econometric models throu

Can climate signals help investors make sharper moves in volatile commodity markets? This study explores how weather-related risk, specifically the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), can be used to improve portfolio performance. We incorporate the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) into a Random Forest forecasting model to capture the complex, non-linear effects of climate anomalies on commodity returns -

Ett vattenskyddsområde vad är det egentligen? Jo, runt om i Sverige finns det idag områden med speciella förhållanden som är skapade för att skydda vårt grundvatten. Dessa områden har speciella regler som måste följas. Reglerna är enormt viktiga och reglerar bland annat lantbruken inom dessa områden gällande hantering och användning av kemikalier. Olika dispenser för användningen finns även inom oThis study investigates the relationship between the use of pesticides within Ängelholm Municipality’s largest water protection area and the levels of these substances in the drink-ing water. With a growing population and modern lifestyle, society has developed a de-pendency on continuous food production, which in turn has led to increased use of pesti-cides to ensure stable harvesters. This can h

Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri

The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden. As Covid-19 have led to increased concerns of unsustainable debt levels, questions of how government spending has affected the economic rebound and fiscal sustainability arises. To tackle these questions, I evaluate pre-existing

Denna uppsats analyserar Europeiska kommissionens förslag till en förord-ning om tvångslicenser i krissituationer. (COM(2023) 224) ur ett rättsligt och rättspolitiskt perspektiv. Förslaget syftar till att införa ett unionsomfattande system för tvångslicenser avsett att säkerställa tillgången till krisrelevanta pro-dukter, särskilt läkemedel, i situationer där nationella åtgärder bedöms vara otillrThis thesis examines the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on compulsory licensing in crisis situations (COM(2023) 224) from a legal and legal-policy perspective. The proposal seeks to introduce a Union-wide sys-tem for compulsory licensing intended to ensure access to crisis-relevant products, particularly medicinal products, in situations where national measures are considered insu

In March of 2025, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court decided to request a preliminary ruling in a case regarding repayment of Swedish withholding tax on dividends. The non-resident company claimed that they were not obligated to calculate their results according to Swedish rules, whereas the Swedish tax authority claimed that not doing so would make it impossible to determine whether the non

Denna uppsats analyserar förhållandet mellan enskilda och allmänna intressen enligt plan- och bygglagen, samt hur detta förhåller sig till Regeringsformen och Europakonventionen, samt om det finns skäl för ett starkare skydd för enskildas intressen. Enligt svensk rätt har kommuner planmonopol och i vissa fall detaljplanekrav för användningen av mark- och vattenområden inom kommunens geografiska omThis essay analyses the balance between private and public interest in matters relating to the Planning and building act of 2010 according to which there has to be a fair balance of interests. This essay also analyses how the previous relates to the European convention and the Instrument of Government and if there is a need for a stronger protection of private interests. According to the Planning

The sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case. The problem has been addressed by means of asymptotic approximations embedding the number of summands in a stochastically increasing sequence. Another approach relies on fitting flexible and tractable parametric, multivariate distributionThe sum of a random number of independent and identically distributed random vectors has a distribution which is not analytically tractable, in the general case.

In recent decades, working with computers has evolved from a specialized area to a requirement at most workplaces. Information systems also change regularly and employees have to adapt to new computer systems. However all individuals do not like computer work and the concept of computer anxiety describes human attitudes to computers. This study examined how computer anxiety is influenced by an inf

Problem och syfte: Den här uppsatsen skall undersöka några av företeelserna som har betydelse för ett skapande av en europeisk identitet och ett "gemensamt" Europa. Diskussionen om Europa som gemensam institution handlar oftast om ekonomiska svårigheter, sällan diskuteras t.ex. historiska, normativa, och kulturella mellanmänskliga och mellanstatliga dilemman i större sammanhang.
