In 2015, The Swedish central bank; the Riksbank, decided to lower the repo rate to -0,1 percent. The idea was to stimulate inflation in order to reach the target inflation of 2% according to CPI. The decision was and is controversial. Even if the inflation based on CPI is very low, the inflation on asset prices especially in the housing market is very high. Meanwhile, the household debt is increa

When founding the modern human rights protection, the UN did to a great extent have focus on protecting men and men’s rights, even though one of the core principles of human rights is their universality. Over the past few decades work has been done to include women’s perspectives in the human rights protection. The UN has chosen a dual strategy, where women’s rights are both protected in gender-sp

It has been previously shown that an increase in the relative value of tea increases female survival rate by enhancing their economic value. By combining contemporary district-level census data with historical data on tea production, in this paper I examine whether contemporary regional variations in gender disparities across India can be traced back to the tea production induced by the British Ea

Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på hur olika fundamentala bestämningsfaktorer har påverkat den svenska kronkursen under perioden Q1 1996 till Q4 2015. Modeller som strävar efter att bestämma växelkursens förklaringsfaktorer har genom historien ofta haft missvisande resultat. En anledning till detta är att data på variablerna ofta är av icke-stationär typ och vanliga OLS-regressioner som genomf

Portfolio choice theory have in the last decades seen a rise in utilising more advanced utility functions for finding optimal portfolios. This is partly a consequence of the relatively simplistic nature of the quadratic utility, which is often assumed in the classical mean-variance framework. There have been some suggestions on how to find optimal portfolios in ac- cordance to more realistic utili

När vi tittar upp mot natthimlen för att utforska stjärnorna i rymden, så är stjärnspektroskopi ett av de främsta medlen. Med hjälp av den metoden kan vi komma fram till vilka kemiska element en stjärna består av, och eftersom en stjärnas sammansättning i stort sett inte förändras över tiden, därmed få en bild av vilka kemiska element stjärnan bestod av när den föddes. Naturvetenskapliga teorier hA major avenue in the study of the Galaxy is the investigation of stellar populations and Galactic chemical evolution by stellar spectroscopy. Due to the dust obscuration in the line-of-sight, stars in the plane and toward the centre of the Galaxy can only be observed in the near-IR wavelength region. Important questions can thus be addressed by observing stars in the near-IR, a field that is in r

Efterfrågan på nybyggnation och behovet av infrastruktursatsningar är en ständig och stor uppgift som kommuner och andra myndigheter arbetar med. Stora krav ställs på att samhällsplaneringen ska ske utifrån ett långsiktigt hållbart perspektiv. Att intensiva och omfattande regn har blivit allt vanligare på senare tid resulterar i att samhällsplaneringen måste anpassas därefter, och flödesanalyser oThe government and municipalities of Sweden are responsible for the huge task of meeting the need of constructional and infrastructural investments. While planning and managing the land they are required to do so with long term perspectives. As intense and voluminous downpours have become common lately, the city planning and land management have to be adapted to this, which leads to flow analyses

This Master's thesis work was carried out at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering in conjunction with Sydvatten AB, Southern Sweden's drinking water provider and their research division Sweden Water Research. The purpose of the study was to gain an understanding of the runoff response in the Kävlinge River Basin and study the increased runoff that is expected to occur due to climate ch

The aim of this study was to examine how unaccompanied asylum seeking children perceived their time within the social service system in Sweden, and in what way this time period in their life has affected them today.
