  1. 16. Are Distributional Variables Useful for Forecasting With the Phillips Curve?

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Author : Elsa Rosengren; Pippa Johns; [2024]
    Keywords : Distributional Variables; Heterogeneous Agents; Inflation; Phillips Curve; Inequality;

    Abstract : Does information on the distribution of wealth and income help us forecast aggregate macroeconomic variables? In this thesis, we study how adding such distributional variables to a standard forecasting model affects the forecast accuracy, in the context of inflation forecasting. Using the simulated inflation forecasting approach of Atkeson and Ohanian (2001), we perform a horse race between a textbook NAIRU Phillips curve to an extension augmented with variables from the wealth and income distributions.

  3. 17. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

  4. 18. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

  5. 19. A Novel Method for Measuring Low Energy Excitations with BLS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Materialfysik

    Author : Christopher Borchert; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report presents the work done on an optical setup combining Raman and BLS spectroscopy and discusses the achieved improvements of the system. After some general optimization and minor redesigning, a new alternative beam path was implemented. READ MORE

  6. 20. Exploring the Dynamics of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and Security Integration in Open Source Projects

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för programvaruteknik

    Author : Anvesh Ambala; [2024]
    Keywords : Supply chain; SBOM; Software Bill of Materials; US Executive Order May 2021; Open-Source Software; Vulnerability; cyber security.;

    Abstract : Background.The rapid expansion of open-source software has introduced significant security challenges, particularly concerning supply chain attacks. Software supply chain attacks, such as the NotPetya attack, have underscored the critical need for robust security measures. READ MORE
