This study compares how the Swedish krona, valued in four different currencies, changes during times of financial crisis with non-crisis periods. Then out-of-sample predictions are made based on the flexible-price model. The predictions are made for the one period time horizon using the most recent information available at that time. This is done by re-estimating the parameters for every new obser
Då Danmark, Finland, Norge och Sverige tillträdde FN- konventionen om internationella köp av varor, CISG, deklarerades även överensstämmande förbehåll, reservationer, av vart och ett av de fyra länderna. Detta agerande var endast ett i mängden av gemensamma beslut som företagits mellan de fyra länderna i rättsutvecklingens historia, men ur ett nutida perspektiv är just detta beslut högst aktuellt.When Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden joined the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CISG, it was with mutual disclaimers, reservations. This decision was only one of the several joint decisions undertaken by the four countries as regards the tradition of legal development among the Nordic countries, although from a contemporary perspective that decision is highly up
The choice of topics and issues problems: The essay is about some wonderful natural places, and I felt like it was important for me to emphasize them even more through this work, especially that I´m coming from those places, and unfortunately I never visited The National Park Nera gorge-Beusnita in its entirety. In the same situation like me there are a lot of people who choose other countries as
Korruption är ett globalt och frekvent förekommande problem. Genom nationella rättsakter med långtgående extraterritoriell jurisdiktion som till exempel amerikanska The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, bekämpas korruption numera på ett gränsöverskridande tillvägagångssätt. Detta medför att företag vid till exempel inträde på en ny marknad omsorgsfullt måste undersöka under vilka lands lagar Corruption is a global problem. Through national legislation with far-reaching extraterritorial jurisdiction such as the U.S. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, fighting corruption has now a transnational approach. This means for example, that companies who will enter a new market must carefully examine, under which countries´ law a company can be considered to have a criminal responsibili

We have therefore made a comparative analysis of the national differences in terms of CSR. This research was done by introducing and identifying dimensions that affect the CSR practices in each country. These dimensions have been analyzed based on the national busin

Denna studie utvärderar gulds egenskaper som investeringsvara. Fokus ligger på gulds förmåga att minska risken i en portfölj bestående av aktier och räntebärande tillgångar, och hur väl guld presterar i detta avseende i jämförelse med riskfria räntebärande tillgångar. Studien bygger på månadsdata för perioden 1974-2011. Fysiskt guld studeras tillsammans med aktieindexet MSCI USA och Treasury bills
Uppsatsen behandlar utbildning och kompetensutveckling på arbetsplatser i Sverige utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Varken arbetsgivares eller arbetstagares utbildningsansvar är i vidare utsträckning lagreglerat. Rättspraxis visar dock att både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare har ett visst ansvar för kompetensutvecklingen på arbetsplatser. Huvudansvaret får anses ligga på arbetsgivare. ArbetsgThis essay covers the aspects of education and competence development in Sweden with a labour law perspective. The responsibility to educate is basically unregulated; yet case law states that both employers and employees are held responsible to some degree, with the main burden of responsibility on the employer. The employers’ responsibility during a redundancy dismissal is apparent when an employ
The need for a corporate plan against infringing counterfeit products on your trademark is essential in today’s business climate. This research aims towards filling the current gap of existing literature from a business perspective. Results indicated that businesses need to take a pro-active stand against counterfeits to succeed. If corporations take a passive stand, counterfeits will affect the b
The Swedish primary health care market has recently undergone a care choice reform where patients are allowed to choose which provider to be listed at. It has also opened up the market for private primary health care providers to a larger extent and a more competitive structure is created where capitation, a prospective and fixed reimbursement method, to varying degrees is used as a mean of provid
I used agency theory and information asymmetry theory, at the same time I take the influence factors of audit fees as theoretical framework, which have been used in prior studies.The empirical data have been collected from 2010 annual report of 191 sample listed companies in China. I set up the multiple linear regression models of audit fees and relevant influence factor to test my hypotheses.
I ett meddelande från IAF år 2004 informerades det att arbetstagare med upprepade tidsbegränsade anställningar, som blir uthyrda av bemanningsföretag inte ska betraktas som arbetslösa vid uppehåll mellan uthyrningarna. Detta då de anses stå till bemanningsföretagets förfogande. IAF informerade vidare att det är omöjligt att ha en deltidsanställning på ett bemanningsföretag och samtidigt få fyllnad
Jane Austen’s juvenilia, though their originality and sophisticated irony make them fascinating objects of study, have seldom been allowed to be the focus of critical attention. One of the main concerns of Austen’s early works is to deconstruct the workings of narration, but a narratological perspective has never before been applied to them in order to shed light upon their irony. This study inves
In the framework of clusters and innovation systems, several scholars have mentioned the phenomena of related variety and diversification. Variety in specific has been observed in a number of different industries and agglomerations, but not extensively examined yet. This study tries to understand innovation in the spirit-industry of the cognac region, recently baptized Spirit Valley, and more spec
Ur beskattningssynpunkt har det stor betydelse huruvida en verksamhet anses utgöra handel med fastigheter eller inte. Om så är fallet bedrivs näringsverksamhet, och verksamheten träffas av specialreglerna i 27 kap. IL, varpå tillgångarna klassificeras som lagertillgångar. Det påverkar i sin tur dotterbolags möjlighet att med avdragsrätt lämna koncernbidrag till moderföretaget. Det har även betydelFrom a tax standpoint, it is of great importance whether a certain activity is considered to be professional real estate trading or not. The Swedish Income Tax Act (inkomstskattelagen) contains special provisions that applies when professional real estate trading is conducted, saying that a company’s assets can be classified as current assets. This will in turn affect a subsidiary’s possibility to
Utvecklingen som skett i Sverige de senaste decennierna, där vi har gått från industrisamhälle till kunskapssamhälle, från hierarki till platta organisationer och från maskin till hjärna har medfört ett ökat behov av skydd för arbetsgivare. Större ansvar, närmre relation med kunder samt indirekt kontroll från ledning och styrelse har vidgat arbetstagares utrymme i arbetslivet till att bl a fatta vSweden’s business-market has change a lot during the recent decades, where the society have gone from being industrialbased to knowledgebased, where organizations has gone from hierarchy to “flat” and now we use brains instead of machines. This has led to an increasing need of protection for employers. Greater responsibility, closer customer relationships and indirect control from management has e
