Does democracy increase economic growth? This thesis has narrowed down the question to empirically estimating the causal effect of local elections of district heads on economic growth in Indonesia by using a quasi-experimental research method, or “natural experiment” approach. In Indonesia the first elections of district heads were performed in a staggered manner, and decided such that the year of
Health plays a crucial role for human development. Therefore, foreign aid is often directed to combat ill-health in the developing world. At the same time, globalization is a strong force that may aect health through various channels. But the two factors may also be interrelated. In this paper, I analyze the relationship between foreign aid, globalization, and health by estimating a xed eects pane
Syftet med föreliggande uppsats är att beskriva, analysera och förstå ett samtida kollektivtrafikföretags kommunikation på Facebook. Genom en kvalitativ textanalys kan jag visa att asymmetrisk och symmetrisk kommunikation förekommer på Facebook, trots att Västtrafik menar att de har en dialog. Genom intervjuer med medarbetare på Västtrafik har det framkommit att inlägg utesluts, om de inte uppnår

The main goal of this thesis is to quantify optimal inflation rates for fourteen regions in Europe and North America, as well as to address recent proposals for higher inflation targets. This is done using a partially linear regression of the functional form of inflation and relative price variability, and using the definition of optimal inflation as the inflation rate that minimizes RPV. Our resu
Africa has suffered two traumatizing events in history that have helped shape the present day individual, be it on the continent or in the diaspora. First there was the transatlantic slave trade that spanned from the 15th century to the late 19th century and saw the inhuman and forceful transportation of Africans to plantations and homes in the Americas. Then came colonialism immediately after sla
Ett viktigt syfte inom EU är ökad konkurrens på den Europeiska marknaden och för att målet ska uppnås föreslog den Europeiska Kommissionen ett Direktiv som reglerar uppköpserbjudanden vilket skulle bidra till förenklade förvärv av företag på den gemensamma marknaden. Företagsförvärv innebär huvudsakligen att ett företag köper aktier av ett annat företag vilket även ibland kan leda till övertagandeOne of the main purposes in EU is increased competiveness on the European market and to achieve the goal; the European Commission made a proposal of a Directive on Takeover Bids which would facilitate the takeover activity in EU.

In this thesis I estimate the gains from trade produced by an increase in imported product varieties in the Swedish economy. This is done by generating a variety adjusted import price index, following the methodology developed by Feenstra (1994) and Broda and Weinstein (2006). By using an estimate of both the extensive and the intensive margins of variety growth, I generate an upper and a lower bo
Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med äldre personer undersöktes hur stamning förändras ur ett livslångt perspektiv. Relativt få studier har utförts inom området tidigare.

Tio personer mellan 59 och 71 år, som stammat upp i vuxen
