The idea of a big push is one of the earliest theories in development economics and the original justification for foreign aid. The past 30 years have witnessed the publication of numerous studies on aid effectiveness with varying results. This thesis proceeds from the discussion regarding the relationship between aid, economic growth and poverty reduction. The big push hypothesis implies increase
Årligen i Sverige, förlorar stora mängder material stora delar av sitt ekonomiska värde på grund av ineffektiv materialåtervinning. I den vanliga linjära ekonomin är materialåtervinning inte prioriterat medan i den cirkulära ekonomin är återvinning en viktig del. PolyPlank har med sitt eget polyplankmaterial byggt upp sin verksamhet baserat på den cirkulära ekonomins principer. PolyplankmaterialetYearly in Sweden, large quantities of material lose much of their monetary value due to poor material recycling efficiency. In the common linear economy, material recycling is not prioritized, however within a circular economy recycling is a vital part. PolyPlank has with their own polyplank material built their company based on the principles of the circular economy. Their polyplank material is a
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of patients received ambulatory treatment, highlighting the importance of primary health care (PHC). However, there is limited knowledge regarding PHC workload in Europe during this period. The utilization of COVID-19 PHC indicators could facilitate the efficient monitoring and coordination of the pandemic response. The objective of this study
Power-to-X (PtX) is an emerging approach in decarbonizing industries hard to electrify, and is in many cases requiring stable hydrogen supply to maximize production. Hydrogen is produced via electrolysis and requires large amounts of electricity, which can be expensive, especially when considering highly fluctuating electricity prices. One solution in reducing electricity related costs is to integ
This paper aims to explore if theory from the literature on Social Democratic parties can account plausibly for relatively better election results of the Swedish Social Democrats (SAP). With the use of multiple OLS regression it explores whether expansion of municipal labor decommodifying programs lead to more favorable municipal election results for SAP. Labor decommodification is measured throug
This paper examines the relationship between credit ratings and aggregate, as well as individual pillar CSR scores during the periods of 2009 and 2014 for European corporations. The results indicate that the aggregate CSR scores did not influence credit ratings for either period. However, social pillar scores had a statistically significant impact on credit ratings during the financial crisis of 2

The purpose of this thesis is to test whether firms have target capital structure, and if so with what speed they adjust toward this target. Findings that support this purpose are also in line with the trade off theory. One of the key elements of this thesis is the method used, which successfully enables fulfilling the purpose. The panel data method captures the data characteristics of the cross s
Field delineation is important in bibliometrics. Particularly when measuring scientific performance, the demarcation of the area, to which a science actor belongs, is of the greatest importance. This paper present a method based on searches on Boolean combinations of medical subject headings (MeSH-terms) in a combined Web of Science (WoS) - Medline database. The construction of the MeSH area defin
The main purpose of this thesis is to study the impact of a number of independent variables on the cross-section of expected returns on NYSE, ALTERNEXT (formed AMEX) and NASDAQ stocks between 1990 and 2008 in the American market. The analysis is based on methods presented in a number of scientific articles, which will be dealt with below. This study starts with the formation of portfolios by pre-r
The issue of the study is to find common denominators among successful analytical competitors and to analyze how the analytical capability is composed and how one can assess a higher maturity of it. Furthermore, is it to give suggestions on a road map to develop the analytical capability at FINN. To leverage analytics leadership is essential. Furthermore, a process orientation, experimental cultur
