In this paper, we replicate a study by de la Croix et al. (2013) to analyze the effects of population aging in Germany when implementing two different counterfactual pension systems. De la Croix et al. (2013) use a dynamic overlapping generations model to simulate population aging and its effects on the French economy. Calibrating and analyzing the same model as in de la Croix et al. (2013) with n

Är höghastighetstågen en lösning som väntar på ett problem? Syftet med höghastighetstågen är att de ska underlätta omställningen till ett klimatneutralt samhälle, eftersom de transporter som idag sker med flyg istället kan ske med de energieffektiva höghastighetstågen. Samtidigt förväntas höghastighetstågen leda till ökade transporter och tillväxt – man kan alltså säga att poängen är att både låtThe Swedish government has decided to start building high-speed rails.

Despite increased interest for process-oriented and complexity driven research in strategic communication, much research is still based on traditional definitions and assumptions of strategy and communication. This is problematic, since research increasingly suggests that organizations are constituted bottom-up through interactions and communication, where strategy is influenced and co-created thr

In the wake of digital development, the ease with which knowledge can be distributed has drastically changed the scientific climate and the view of how science and social science should be practiced regarding the sharing of knowledge production. A new paradigm in the production and sharing of scientific data, based around the idea of openness as the way to lead and further engage society through s

The purpose of this master’s thesis is to examine how multilingual literature is acquired by public libraries in three municipalities of varying sizes in Skåne: what channels are used for purchase, what the selection process is based on and whether the target population is involved in the process. It also looks to explore the extent to which the professional librarians are representative of the po

Same-sex marriage has made its trend on social media in Thailand especially on Twitter under the #MarriageEquality hashtag as the topic was being brought up to the Parliament on February 9, 2022.

Easy exposure of biological particles for molecular stimuli is of interest when examining the effects of antibiotics on different bacteria or to perform toxicity analysis for biophysical studies of vesicles. Such experiments require advanced equipment that can only be found in laboratories and are vastly time-consuming. A possible solution to the problem could be a “lab-on-a-chip”, which in short

Gold mining causes various negative social and environmental impacts in countries of extraction like Colombia. Voluntary and legal efforts to tackle these challenges have recently increased in Europe.
