In this thesis we discuss a potential problem of negative correlation arising when using ordinary statistical methods on compositional data. We discuss a less known statistical method, compositional data analysis, that stands on the pillars of the works of John Aitchison from the 1980-s and Pawlowsky-Glahn, Egozcue and Delgado from the 2015. Using results from the 2022 national parliament election
Den kommunala självstyrelsen innebär bland annat att en kommun delvis själv får bestämma sitt uppdrag, hur omfattande detta ska vara och hur mycket skatt som ska tas in för att finansiera dess genomförande. Den gemenskap som utgör kommunen har därmed ett intresse av att kunna säkerställa att den kommunala självstyrelsen utövas inom ramen för vad som är tillåtet. Förutom att de som utövar den kom
The relevance of credit ratings has seen augmented growth after the financial crises, especially in the Eurobond market, even though U.S. agencies have been criticised whether ratings are relevant information sources for international capital markets and if non-U.S. market participants relate their investment decision on the ratings. This paper is concentrated on the association between changes in
This thesis analyses if macroeconomic policy has asymmetric effects on output and unemployment, comparing the effectiveness of monetary policy when the output gap is positive to when it is negative. Asymmetric effects may be present due to uncertainty and loss aversion, the downward-stickiness of prices, or financial market imperfections. The empirical analysis is conducted through a panel data re
Governance and ideology have significant influence on how problems and policies are conceptualized. This conceptualization affects the way in which political subjects are formed and how individuals regard themselves. In this paper we approach environmental policy from a post-structuralist stance. Our ambition is to demonstrate a paradoxical relationship between the current consumer oriented repres

There are several accident investigation methods and they are used in a wide range of fields. However, the methods have not been used so much in the fire accident area. In the present thesis, the methods’ capability to investigate fires and what they result in are explored. In addition, answers are given concerning how important the background information is for their applicability. First, a selec
The relationship between innovation, markup and exporting is complex and any empirical analysis is likely to contain both self-selection and simultaneity biases. I use recently developed GMM estimation techniques to recover time-varying markups at the firm level. I then cast these into a simultaneous-equation framework to estimate the influence of R\&D investments on markups and export behavio
