  1. 1. Modelling the Exchange Rate: Evidence from the Impacts of Quantitative Easing in Sweden

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Anny Eklund; Markus Sallkvist; [2024]
    Keywords : Quantitative easing; Exchange rate; Bayesian VAR model; Small open economy; Triangular factorisation;

    Abstract : Quantitative easing, the unconventional monetary policy measure used by many central banks to combat low inflation when interest rates are at the lower bound, has shown to be an effective tool for depreciating the domestic currency. Although the exchange rate is of particular importance in a small open economy as it directly impacts inflation dynamics,trade competitiveness and plays a substantial role in shaping monetary policy, few papers have investigated how the depreciating effect of QE to the exchange rate works.

  3. 2. Uncertainty Estimation in Radiation Dose Prediction U-Net

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Frida Skarf; [2023]
    Keywords : Radiation dose prediction models; U-net; quantile regression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemic uncertainty estimation; aleatoric uncertainty estimation; Stråldospredicerande modeller; U-net; kvantilregression; Monte Carlo Dropout; epistemisk osäkerhetsskattning; aletorisk osäkerhetsskattning;

    Abstract : The ability to quantify uncertainties associated with neural network predictions is crucial when they are relied upon in decision-making processes, especially in safety-critical applications like radiation therapy. In this paper, a single-model estimator of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in a regression 3D U-net used for radiation dose prediction is presented. READ MORE

  4. 3. Monetary Policy Regime Shifts in Hungary: A State-Space Approach : A study of a modified Taylor Rule in Hungary with thime-varying properties of monetary policy

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Nationalekonomi

    Author : Daniel Svanholm; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis demonstrates how a Taylor rule could capture the monetary policy decision pro- cess with imperfect information. The changes in the weights present in the rule reflect policy regime shifts. This framework is suitable in studying a small open transitional economy such as Hungary in recent years. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using FAVAR Model to Test the Credit Channel Monetary Policy Transmission Mechanism in Long-term Credit Cycle

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Zhihao Fu; [2020]
    Keywords : Monetary policy transmission mechanism; enterprise balance sheet channel; bank credit channel; FAVAR model; VAR model;

    Abstract : In this paper, based on the FAVAR model created by Ben Bernanke, 115 groups of economic variables' data from January 1959 to December 2014 were selected for the empirical analysis. From January 1959 to August 2008, the fed funds rate was used to work as the indicator of the monetary policy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Recyclability by Design for Multilayer Plastic Flexible Packaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Sonika Singh; [2020]
    Keywords : Recyclability by design; multilayer flexible packaging; PE; PP; plastic recycling; circular plastic economy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Various recyclability by design (RBD) guidelines for multilayer plastic flexible packaging (MPFP) were assessed for consistency among parameter values. 9% consistency was observed, which is on the lower end of devised consistency scale. READ MORE
