In central Budapest, when the city of Pest was developing, urban policy led to small plots built on all four sides mak- ing up the larger neighborhood block structures. Each small lot was centered around its even smaller courtyard, lead- ing to a myriad of small open spaces with little sunlight or activity. Many of these plots today have fallen into disrepair, becoming parking lots or unused p

This thesis investigates buyer preferences in the procurement of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, which facilitates international cooperation through carbon markets. As ITMO markets are still in the early stages of development, uncertainties regarding regulatory frameworks, environmental integrity, and procurement strategies have eme

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 -

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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, yet its successful integration depends heavily on the acceptance and understanding of this technology by medical professionals. Our qualitative exploratory study, using semi-structured interviews with eight medical professionals in Sweden and Denmark, charts their perceptions of AI's implementation in medicine. The primary goal o

The aim of this thesis was to analyze and compare the effects of various types of speed-reducing measures (speed humps, raised pedestrian and cycle crossings, dynamic speed bumps, and combined solutions) on vehicle speeds and traffic safety on selected streets in Helsingborg, Sweden. The study focused on residential streets, school zones, and main roads with different traffic environments. The met

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

Bioenergy is perceived to play a vital role in climate mitigation, transition to renewable energy consumption, energy security, and local and rural socio-economic development. However, exploiting renewable bioenergy resources may need to be more sustainable in the current predominant paradigm. In this study, we raise two broad research questions: (1) what are the significant challenges to the curr

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
