Though there are numerous studies attempting to describe and analyse the internal dynamics of academic economics, the results of these studies are often contradictory. In order to assess the potential usefulness of certain theoretical tools to the sociology of economics, this study presents and analyses an in-depth interview study of behavioural economists at Swedish universities. The theoretical
This thesis examines the effects of a low real interest rate environment on household savings. It specifically analyses whether there can be an increased importance of the income effect relative to the intertemporal consumption substitution effect and whether there can be an increased potency in the wealth effect of the stock market due to the financial assets substitution effect in this environme
In the last decade, Indonesia has seen a series of massive social media activism, especially on Twitter. As the activists strive to make their social movement visible on Twitter, they also face some threats due to the uncertainty of Twitter algorithms and potential surveillance. As many scholars have studied the role of social media algorithms for activism, this study intends to investigate the be
Jurister försöker påverka rättsliga beslutsprocesser med hjälp av övertalning, men den befintliga litteraturen om övertalning i rättssalen är förvånansvärt begränsad med fokus på enskilda tekniker i isolering; inga omfattande integrerade ramverk finns tillgängliga. Vi föreslår en populär kommersiell metod för övertalning, Neurolingvistisk Programmering (NLP), som startpunkt för att utveckla en modTrial advocates seek to influence the outcomes of judicial decision-making processes using persuasion, but the existing literature regarding persuasion in the courtroom is surprisingly piecemeal, focusing on individual techniques in isolation; no comprehensive frameworks for integrating these techniques, or for systematically analyzing advocates’ attempts to enact persuasion in the courtroom, have
Based on the background of complexity of China's foreign trade structure, the author will make an analysis and outline the contours of China’s exchange rate problems. By using several relevant quantitative mathematical models to find out the relation between RMB exchange rate and USDX, then to analyze their impacts on Chinese foreign trade. This research can check the influence of the microstr
The purpose of this study is to explore the role of brand management, specifically the user-brand relationship in online brand communities for innovation purposes by conceptualizing brand requirements which can be derived from users’ perceptions and expectations.

The aim of this study is to understand how crowdsourcing campaigns in an online environment can change brand perceptions and behavioral intentions of non-participating customers. Therefore, the thesis connects two major concepts. First the phenomenon of crowdsourcing will be discussed with emphasis an emphasis on its use in marketing. Then crowdsourcing will be lined to the theoretical concept of
It has been widely reported that coastal erosion causes problems worldwide. In order to solve these problems, breakwaters have been constructed in such regions. However, it is also a fact that breakwaters adversely affect the environment and scenery. To be able to prevent coastal erosion, while still preserving the environment and the view, submerged breakwaters have been introduced. However, subm
The purpose of this qualitative study was to add to the understanding on how structural elements of gender shape identity and agency of Syrian adolescence girls in the current displacement situation in Lebanon. The thesis was primary based on findings from interviews and focus groups with Syrian displaced girls in the age of 14 enrolled in a school in the region of Bekaa, east of Lebanon. The theo
Grounded in the discipline of climate politics, this theory-developing study (based on the work of Ben Anderson (2010)) is a first attempt towards expanding his analysis of future-creation in liberal countries to also include an authoritarian state. This is done by roughly sketching out the ways in which the Syrian al-Assad regime talks about futures related to anthropogenic global warming and/or
In 2011, China’s urban population surpassed its rural population for the first time in the history when it reached 690 million. The massive urbanization has resulted in a booming of urban housing and infrastructure. Consequently, crowded infrastructure systems burdened by an increasing urban population and severe environmental problems like air pollution have become the main challenges for Chinese
Climate change poses a current and ongoing threat to urban areas worldwide. Rising sea levels and the increased occurrence of heatwaves, heavy rainfall and related impacts due to erosion and landslides in particular are risks that are becoming increasingly urgent to address in the near future. Though Sweden is seen as a pioneer in sustainable city development, climate change adaptation is a relati
Existing economic literature demonstrates that gender-oriented conditional cash transfer programs modify women’s economic opportunities and consequently, their power status within their households. Nonetheless, these studies are not conclusive in determining whether or not this improved position of power has the potential to significantly alter the chances of women to suffer from intimate partner
Direct tax harmonisation in the EU is the next and perhaps the last step towards complete economic integration after the creation of Economic and Monetary Union. However, because of political sensitivity of taxation only indirect taxes are harmonised in the EU, while direct tax competition between Member States stays. Countries are still free to introduce various tax incentives in order to attract

Uppsatsen handlar om hur det intellektuella kapitalet i de två bankerna Handelsbanken och SEB skiljer sig åt. Vi försöker också se hur skillnader i resultat och utveckling för Handelsbanken går att förklara med hjälp av det intellektuella kapitalet. Uppsatsen är av utforskande karaktär med tyngdpunkt på Handelsbanken men med SEB som jämförande faktor.
The current study investigated if perceived sport enjoyment, competence, autonomy, relatedness, and motivation would be able to predict leader-member exchange (LMX) quality. Participants (N = 89) were adolescence athletes, aged 15 to 18, participating in organized team sports, namely basketball, handball, and football. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used and the variables measure
This Bachelor’s thesis examines the individual motivations behind shaping an ethnic identity in order to become interesting to oneself and others. Through understanding how people shape an ethnic identity, what values lie beneath, and placing it into the context of postmodern demands on the identity, this study argues that an ethnic identity may serve a purpose of generating cultural capital and s
In this study, data of the generation of recyclable wastes from the EU member states, and possible explaining factors for describing this generation, are examined through a combination of Probabilistic Principal Component Analysis (PPCA) and multivariate regression analysis. The purpose is to identify some of the biggest contributors to the generation of recyclable wastes, and, based on these cont
