  1. 1. Real-Time Certified MPC for a Nano Quadcopter

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Arvid Linder; [2024]
    Keywords : MPC; Model predictive control; quadcopter; control system;

    Abstract : There is a constant demand to use more advanced control methods in a wider field of applications. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is one such control method, based on recurrently solving an optimization problem for determining the optimal control signal. READ MORE

  3. 2. Willingness to Pay for Externalities – Does Earmarking Taxes Matter?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Joel Eliasson; [2023-06-29]
    Keywords : Willingness to Pay; Environmental Beef Tax; Earmarking; Sweden; Contingent Valuation; Inferred Valuation; Payment Card Approach; Demand Curve;

    Abstract : This study explores the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for an environmental beef tax and the effects of revenue recycling mechanisms on WTP and beef consumption. It surveys students from Gothenburg University using a payment card approach, addressing literature gaps concerning the role of revenue recycling in environmental tax policy, behavioral economic factors affecting public perceptions, and potential biases in contingent valuation methods.
