Within an extensive research project known as the EuroVaQ project, data on European individuals’ WTP for health was collected through survey methods. This thesis uses data from the EuroVaQ project in order to estimate the WTP per QALY Sweden. The major finding of the study is that the mean value is estimated to SEK 485 685. Furthermore, WTP is positively associated with age and income of the respo

It has been discussed how important the contributions of informal investors in supporting entrepreneurs and developing startups.

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka den tidigare outforskade svenska konsuln i Alger, George Logie (1694-1776), och sammanflätningen av aktörer som var drivande bakom den kommersiella expansionen i Medelhavet efter Stora nordiska krigets slut. Expansionen resulterade i ökad handel med en infrastrukturell etablering av flertalet konsulat, vilket ledde vidare till utökat utbyte mellan Nordeuropa, Mede

Den här studien undersöker källor och effekt av kortsiktiga miljöförändringar genom studier av sedimentärt organiskt material (OM) i Gullmarsfjorden. En sedimentsekvens (sedimentationshastighet 0.7 cm år-1) från den djupaste delen av fjorden analyserades i hög upplösning med flera olika geokemiska metoder applicerat på OM med fokus på komposition av biomarkörer. Fördelningen av n-alkener uppvisadeIn this study I will assess sources and effects of short-term environmental changes on the sedimentary organic matter in Gullmar Fjord. To achieve this, a high resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate 0.7 cm yr -1) was retrieved from the deepest part in the fjord and analyzed with multiple geochemical methods, targeting bulk organic matter and biomarker composition. The distribution of n-alkan

This study seeks to answer the question of how some young male Afghan refugees, in their own views, negotiated their migration trajectories on their way to the country of asylum, despite the constraints of migrant ”illegality”? To answer this question a qualitative mix-method approach was adopted, comprised of Participatory Action Research and Life History, collecting data through semi-structured

Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb

Tragedy of the commons occurs when rational individuals all acting in their own self-interest creates a situation that is suboptimal for everyone involved (Hardin, 1968). For long privatization or government control over a common wer
