The purpose of our study is to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility on Corporate Financial Performance. We initially perform a multiple linear regression using Ordinary Least Square on an academically recurring model, and then apply cross sectional fixed effect to account for heterogeneity. Our panel data is composed of approximatively 1500 companies over a five year span, totaliz

Statistical arbitrage is widely used in the quantitative based trading strategies. In this paper, we mainly use Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (O-U) process model and the GARCH model to estimate the parameters and verify trading signals for the statistical arbitrage. In addition, a new model is created through the combination of O-U model and GARCH model. To estimate the models, HuangXia Bank and Industrial B

The digital era has mercilessly affected the media landscape by changing the way information and news are disseminated and consumed. This has led to an increased need to move activities online and an outdated business model among newspapers. The Swedish newspaper industry has so far struggled to do business in the digital world. Hence, the need for business model innovation is greater than ever. I

The increasing prevalence of Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) in Sweden is a cause of concern to both individuals and the public health service. The disease is spread via bites from the vector Ixodes ricinus and causes long-term neurological damage in 46% of cases. To date, research in this field has focussed on the relationship between climate and TBE incidence and there is little to no available re

Previous research has analysed the relationship between women’s labour market outcomes and family policies in the general context of the European Union or among OECD countries. The current dissertation investigates the effect of a set of family policy’s instruments on women’s labour market participation and maternal employment in the countries of Southern Europe – Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal

On a global scale, the energy system is the biggest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which accelerate the processes of global warming and climate change. The sustainability transition of energy systems is fundamental if the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to below 2˚C compared to preindustrial levels is to be achieved. Transitions ar

Its carbon sink potential as well as soil fertility benefits make organic carbon a soil variable for which reliable quantification methods are sought. This thesis work aims at investigating the possibility of adapting a large soil spectral library to build models for SOC predictions with remotely sensed, multispectral data. For this purpose, the continental-scale LUCAS topsoil database was spectra

This research aims to identify the role of the physical store within the high involvement products buying process in the context of an omnichannel customer journey. Furthermore, we aim to recreate an entirely new customer journey based on the importance of creating epic customer experiences, both in-store and online channels, by integrating an omnichannel strategy in the furniture industry.

Purpose: Investigate the relation between block ownership and stock liquidity. Methodology: The empirical methods used in this project are of quantitative nature. We use a set of dependent variables representing liquidity measures in order to test how our main explanatory variable, sum of block holdings, affect this. Furthermore, control variables such as market capitalization, share price and vo

The aim of this paper is to cover a gap identified in the literature by finding empirical evidence explaining the relationship between the target firm’s ESG score and ESG Gap and the abnormal returns registered by the acquirer. The paper uses a cross-sectional dataset based on an international sample of 171 merger and acquisition transactions, occurred between 2002 and 2020. The even-study metho

The 13C mobility and cross-β-sheet structure of lipid-protein co-assemblies formed by incubating ganglioside GM3-containing model membranes with the amyloid protein α-synuclein were investigated by solid-state NMR and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) at varying lipid-to-protein ratios and membrane compositions at body temperature. The POPCGM3 model membrane was characterized by PT ssNMR and X-ra

Facing the climate change and the energy crisis, the governments are taking steps to reduce the energy use and enhance the integration of renewable energy installations. Built environment is attributed to 40% of the global energy use, and the literature indicates that integrating the local renewable energy sources to the grid and meanwhile renovating the buildings can significantly improve the ene

Based on fieldwork interviews from two different trade unions in Luanda, this study aims to reflect on the role of civil society for the consolidation of democracy in Angola, and in particular, the challenges of trade unionism and its effects on democracy. Using the meth-od of inductive reasoning to process data, it first addresses themes derived from the inter-views such as Financial struggles, T

This proposal addresses the problematic of heritage in the making and how the digital engages in museum practices. Questioning reconstructions of the past, and the ways in which material culture and museums are used, to support heritage discourses. It concerns the ability of Chinese digital museums, to turn the past into present. Inspired by Foucault, this research, questions whether digital is ma
