Tillgången på kredit kan öka människors hälsa och välfärd, men mot bakgrund av att skulder så småningom måste betalas tillbaka är det samtidigt tänkbart att överskuldsättning kan ge upphov till försämrad hälsa. I denna rapport använder vi svenska enkät- och registerdata på individnivå för att närmare studera denna fråga. Särskilt undersöker vi sambandet mellan betalningssvårigheter och olika subje

According to medieval canon law a marriage secretly contracted, by mutual consent only, was perfectly valid. It was however difficult to prove tha such a marriage had taken place, if one of the parties denied it. This problem was fairly common and a number of such cases are recorded in medieval Court rolls. In this article I study if/to what extent the parties previous sexual activities and/or rep

This paper quantitatively analyzes the importance of taste versus health in food demand, as well as the effect on consumers’ experienced taste of the non-intrinsic value of healthy labels. Our analysis is based on taste experiments and Vickrey second price auctions on potato chips and bread. Our findings imply a large positive effect on demand for potato chips from higher taste scores: when consum

Cancer is a disease that will affect most of us during a lifetime. Although the survival of cancer patients has incresed due to better treatment and earlier diagnosis, the prevalance of the disease is still increasing. This increase in the number of cancer cases diagnosed will impose a challenge to the cancer care and higher costs for socitey. Personalized medicine aims at reducing these costs whi

This thesis is about various views on the structure of wages. Special attention is given to the theory of multi-dimensional work, earlier discussed by K.J. Lancaster and J. Tinbergen.

There are many good reasons for turning co-located projects distributed, likewise there are many good reasons for turning traditional projects agile. In both cases there are many obstacles to overcome and pitfalls to avoid and the combination of agile and distributed does not make this situation any better. In general Configuration Management works as the infrastructure of any software project and

A great deal of attention is currently being paid in urban sociology to the relationship between place and identity. The background to the growing interest in the identity development of individuals can be found in the radical changes the city is presently undergoing. These changes have often been described in terms of the dissolving city, a concept that not only refers to the continuing physical/

In this paper, physical limitations on the partial gain G and relative bandwidth B are derived for antennas of arbitrary shape based on holomorphic properties of the forward scattering dyadic. The limitation on the performance of G and B is shown to be bounded from above by the long wavelength response of the antenna in terms of the electric and magnetic polarizability dyadics. The special case of
