  1. 16. The determinants of beef imports in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Felicia Östby Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : added value; beef; beef market; cattle; export; import; price; time series; VAR; VECM;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the determinants of Swedish beef imports using a Vector Autoregression and a Vector Error Correction model. By examining which variables responsible for the volume demanded on imported beef, one can understand how domestic beef production can compete and regain market shares from imported beef. READ MORE

  3. 17. The impact of subsidies in the Swedish solar energy market

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Tobias Ekblom; Larsson Larsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Subsidies; Renewable energy; Market maturity; Price elasticity; Solar cells;

    Abstract : Problem In the light of a world in transition towards sustainability, there is an urge for evaluation of the effect of governmental interference on renewable energy markets. The complexity of doing this, calls for further investigation. This was conducted by examining the Swedish solar cell market. READ MORE

  4. 18. The effect of the Swedish carbon tax on household and industry emissions

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Sabina Dellstig; [2019]
    Keywords : CO2 tax; carbon tax; price elasticity; signaling effect; ex-post evaluation; CO2 emissions; households; industry; Sweden; FMOLS;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the Swedish carbon tax, introduced in 1991, has led to a decline in CO2 emissions in two sectors of the Swedish economy: the manufacturing industry and the household sector – and if so, to what extent. The question is approached by estimating the elasticity of demand for CO2 emissions, with respect to the total energy price and, separately, for the carbon tax. READ MORE

  5. 19. Excess elasticity in the financial system? A study of how macroeconomic variables affect stock prices

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Jens Mattsson; Daniel Bell; [2019]
    Keywords : Stock prices; Macroeconomic variables; Excess elasticity; Bretton Woods; Finan- cial liberalization; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Asset prices have had larger and more rapid increases since 1980 when compared to the post-war period, especially compared to the Bretton Woods period. In this thesis we test whether the excess elasticity view provides a plausible explanation for this change. READ MORE

  6. 20. Integrated analysis and design using graphic statics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Erik Larsen; [2017]
    Keywords : Graphic statics; integrated design; sustainability; computational design; gaussian vault; catenary line; structural exploration; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Numerical methods are the norm in modern structural engineering practice Models based on elasticity theory offer powerful methods to analyse complex structural behaviours and accurately predict probable deformation behaviour. Numerical methods in general and particularly finite element methods offer great numerical accuracy. READ MORE
