The aim of this thesis is to examine the long-run relationship between regional house prices, how the house price model behaves in the short run and if aggregated national house price models may be misleading. To investigate whether house prices are related in the long run we use cointegration tests to look for common trends. The short-run behaviour of the model is estimated by an error correction

Globalization is a widespread phenomenon that is having a strong influence on the modern society, creating both threats and opportunities. One of the most affected areas by the global pressures is the labor market, which requires specific policies and tools to respond to the increasing challenges. It is thus the task of the modern welfare states, to intervene in the attempt of transforming the glo

The rapid growth in hedge funds has triggered an international debate on the risks involved with their operations and potential negative effects on the financial system. The rise and fall of Long Term Capital Management - which prompted the US Federal Reserve to engineer a bail-out - still haunts the sector 10 years on. Simultaneously we have to admit that markets and investors benefit from a wide

Purpose – This study explores the assumptions of Sohl and Hill (2007) and Harrison and Mason (2007), and analyses if these can be empirically supported. This is done from the theoretical perspective of gender studies and explored how women BAs perceive themselves and understand the industry, based on their own educations, experiences and social capital. Methodology – This study follows a qualitati

Under tillskapandet av skadeståndslagen (1972:207) diskuterades frågor om autonomi utifrån flera utgångspunkter. Förekomsten av dessa diskussioner i lagens förarbeten och i flera framstående rättsvetenskapsmäns arbeten under perioden mellan 1864 års strafflag och den nya skadeståndslagen ger oss värdefull inblick i problemet med autonomi och skadeståndsrätt idag, inte minst vad gäller dess förhåll

Med anledning av den stora vågen av flyktingar som under de senaste åren har sökt skydd inom Europas gränser, har åtgärder implementerats för att kontrollera deras inresa, vistelse, samt utvisning. Användandet av sådana åtgärder, så som förvarstagande, har både ökat och intensifierats i dess användning. Syftet med denna uppsats var därför att fokusera på den svenska praxisen angående verkställighe

Differences in political orientation are partly rooted in personality, with left-wing political attitudes being predicted by Openness to Experience and right-wing attitudes by Conscientiousness. This has been validated across numerous studies from different countries. This essay adds to that body of research by examining whether personality differences between the political sides also exist in the

Land cover conversion affects climate by imposing changes in the surface properties and carbon dioxide fluxes. Forest management programs often disregard that modification in surface albedo influences the exchange of energy and climate sensitivity. By taking into account the role of vegetation in shaping the atmospheric circulation, forest harvesting not always leads to the warming of the climate.
