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

    Author : Love Göransson; Marcus Nilszén; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

  3. 2. Investigating Gas Turbulence in Galactic Discs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Timmy Ejdetjärn; [2019]
    Keywords : galaxies; gas; turbulence; interstellar medium; star formation; feedback; gravitational instability; local; high redshift; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The interstellar medium of both local and distant disc galaxies is observed to be supersonically turbulent and the turbulent motion of the gas is thought to be important for galaxy formation and evolution, particularly as a key ingredient for star formation. Consequently, this generates a striking relation between the star formation rate (SFR) and gas velocity dispersion ($\sigma_{\rm g}$; a measurement on the level of turbulence). READ MORE

  4. 3. The Pursuit of Preferences: A Hedonic Real Estate Appraisal

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Sebastian Backlund; Per Svennerholm; [2016-09-21]
    Keywords : Preferences; Hedonic Regression; The Builder’s Model; The Modified Builder’s Model; Pooled Constrained Regression; Marginal Prices; Tobin’s Q; Individual Real Estate Appraisal;

    Abstract : This study modifies the hedonic Builder’s Model through assigning specific variable distributions, in an attempt to appraise individual real estates. Using data from six different submarkets surrounding Gothenburg, we first calibrated a pooled constrained F-test to determine that the submarkets should be estimated individually. READ MORE

  5. 4. Measuring systemic risk in the Nordic countries - An application of CoVaR

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Dominika Krygier; [2014]
    Keywords : systemic risk; VaR; spillover effects; CoVaR; quantile regression; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Spillover effects and systemic risk contribution of institutions, as measured by their CoVaR and delta-CoVaR respectively, is one way of assessing risk both for an institution in isolation, as well as for regulators and the economy as a whole. CoVaR is the q%-VaR of an institution conditional on another institution already being at its q%-VaR level, whereas delta-CoVaR measures each institution’s marginal risk contribution. READ MORE

  6. 5. Doing good to do well? : Corporate Social Responsibility and Return on Investment in Sweden

    University essay from IHH, Nationalekonomi

    Author : Marcus Johansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Corporate Social Responsibility; Stakeholder Theory; Q-Theory of Investment; Marginal Q;
