Most inflation targeting central banks use a CPI to measure inflation. The CPI only covers a subset of all prices in the economy and CPI-inflation has been low despite an expansionary monetary policy during the last 10 years. A

An initial public offering, IPO, is the first offering of a company´s shares to the public. Multiple studies have shown that there are certain anomalies tied to IPOs as they often generate high returns on their first day of trading and underperform in the long-run. This paper investigates the occurrence of these anomalies on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange during 2010-2016. The results indicate that

This paper examines the effect of Chinese OFDI on China’s bilateral trade with affected countries, to investigate the possible build-up of a Eurasian China-centric trade network. The main contribution of the paper is to have combined economics, war theory and geopolitics to analyse and produce a theoretical framework for it. Whereas there is a lack of consensus on the effect of FDI on trade in ge

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur ett kommunikativt perspektiv, tillsammans med teorier om meningsskapande och meningsgivande, kan användas för att bilda en djupare förståelse för organisationslärande efter en kris. Organisationer försöker i allt större utsträckning kapitalisera på kriser genom att lära sig av dem, men forskning visar att de ofta misslyckas med detta. Genom intervjue

I snart 500 år har människan använt sig av diverse optiska instrument för att betrakta sådant som inte är möjligt att se med blotta ögat. Teleskop har använts för att studera himlakroppar och mikroskop för att exempelvis undersöka små biologiska beståndsdelar. Det finns idag många olika metoder inom optisk mikroskopi men samtliga följer en liknande grundprincip. Objektet som ska avbildas exponerasSeveral significant pathogenic bacteria exhibit surface proteins that bind human antibodies, preventing them from being recognized by the human immune system. These bacteria are thus protected from elimination and can survive in the host organism. One common such bacteria is the Streptococcus pyogenes that exhibits the antibody binding M protein on its surface. Streptococcus pyogenes causes more t

The effects on trade from negotiating and entering voluntary partnership agreement is estimated using forest product trade data from 2000 to 2014 on countries in the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licensing process. Gravity model framework is used and the result shows that beginning negotiations lead to an export drop by approximately 0.6 percent and is relatively stable the

Rationale: Urban informal settlements are vulnerable and exposed to hazards. Weather forecasting is possible and provides a “window of opportunity” to push cash or aid to vulnerable dwellers before the disaster strikes. Forecast-based Financing is a framework, which provides this system, and it has had great success with rural pilots. Currently no research has investigated the implementation of Fo

The current thesis examined how employees make sense of employer branding activities tailored for university graduates.

Based on the theory of sensemaking, deeper understanding of the addressed topic was gained.

School-based sex education plays an influential role for adolescents in England. Existing research shows that adolescents are a vulnerable population who are more likely to get a sexually transmitted infection over another age group. Girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four are particularly vulnerable to getting an STI. In some countries, a framework called comprehensive sexuality educati

Factors influencing and improving a student’s academic attainments, in particular, test scores, are an essential concern for academics as well as policymakers. In this thesis, I add a student’s ordinal rank, calculated from underlying test scores, as a new input factor to the education production function. By using experimental data on primary schools in the United States, I assess whether the ord

Power systems operate at a specific frequency and constantly require a balance between production and consumption of electricity in order to maintain the frequency within a certain interval. Larger frequency deviations can cause blackouts or damage equipment connected to the grid. Balancing functions that stabilise the grid are referred to as \textit{ancillary services}, which in Sweden include th
