In this master thesis we study and implement a model for market risk in a portfolio consisting of both stock and bond indices. It is based on an article by Glasserman, Heidelberger and Shahabuddin from year 2002. The model uses the assumption that the joint distribution of the losses follows a multivariate t-distribution. The model also uses Monte Carlo simulations with importance sampling in orde

This paper examines if competition between internet service providers using city networks leads to lower prices. The research tests the theory of the circular city that in which the price depends on the marginal cost as well as the number of competitors in the market. Based on this theory the cost of a 100 Mbits connection should move towards marginal cost if there are more internet service provid
Popular summary Deforestation has been recognized globally as the second largest source of Human-induced release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon stored in trees is important in the global carbon cycle and affects the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The process of deforestation takes place when man clears forested land. The amount of carbon stored in forested areas is larg
This thesis concerns the patterns of organization visible within the context that is the Scanian runestones in relation to roads, organized clustering and energy-conservativity. As well as the digital methods increasingly used to analyze such patterns. Using FMIS databases and LIDAR-elevation data it analyses the long, spread out lines of runestones visible in the landscape through GIS spatial-sta

The Sweden Democrats have been taking the Swedish political system for a tumultuous spin with an explosive increase in received votes in the 2014 governmental elections. As the Sweden Democrats are viewed by some as a nationalist, anti-immigrant and a racist party, the entrance into the Swedish parliament in 2010 was met by medial as well as public havoc resulting in the establishment of a politic
The load transfer and redistribution phenomenon that occurs through the mobilization of shear stresses in response to relative displacements in granular materials, such as soils, is attributed to the arching effect. The arching effect has a great influence on the behaviour of soils and plays an important role in predicting earth pressure in granular backfills of limited extent, confined by unyield
This thesis examines the emerging scene of ensemble playing in Swedish traditional music from the beginning of the 1980s until present day.

In the beginning of the public career of Jesus, Mark and Matthew both narrate how Jesus “calls” four fishermen to follow him which results in an immediate positive response (Mark 1:16–20/Matt 4:18–22). How is the reader to understand Jesus’ calling of disciples? Is Jesus making an authoritative command or does he merely invites the fishermen? What is Jesus doing when he “calls” his disciples?

The twenty-frst century has seen the concurrent rise of optimism about economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa and the return of the agricultural sector to the top of the development agenda.

This chapter introduces the book’s main theme of
Since 2009, the Swedish government has allo-cated a part of its direct funding to the Swed-ish universities based on a bibliometric indica-tor, which stems from the number of publica-tions and citations found in the Web of Science bibliographic database. This paper discusses the creation and detailed structure of the new indicator, which has met criticism from both researchers and the Swedish Rese
