  3. 17. The Effects of Aid on Fiscal Capacity: An econometric analysis on African countries (1960-2015)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Noora Kovalainen; [2023]
    Keywords : State Capacity; Fiscal capacity; Aid; Africa; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Low tax revenues in many African countries are hindering sustained economic development and aid could have an inhibiting effect on the development of fiscal capacity. This paper will use newly published high-quality data on tax revenues to dive deeper into the effects of aid on hard-to-collect taxes in Africa between 1960-2015. READ MORE

  4. 18. The Higgs Width in Higgs production in association with a W+ boson

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Wijeratne Mohandiramge Umashi Navisha Fernando; [2023]
    Keywords : Higgs boson; Higgs width; off-shell; on-shell; narrow-width approximation; MadGraph5_MC@NLO; W boson; supersymmetry; dark matter; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The width of the Higgs boson is a quantity that cannot be measured directly from the on-shell Higgs peak; it would have to be measured indirectly. In 2013, Caola and Melnikov developed a method to determine the Higgs width by using off-shell and on-shell cross-sections and applying the narrow-width approximation. READ MORE

  5. 19. Battery Storage as Grid Reinforcement for Peak Power Demands

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Energisystem

    Author : Jesper Hilleberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery Storage; Battery Energy Storage System; Grid Reinforcement; Flexibility; Lithium-ion battery; li-ion battery; Large Scale Grid Storage; BESS; Energy Storage; Peak Power Demand; Batterilagring; Batterilagringsystem; Nätförstärkning; Nätförstärkningsåtgärd; toppeffektlaster; Flexibilitet; Flexibilitetslösning; litiumjonbatteri; li-ion batteri; BESS; energilagring;

    Abstract : An increased amount of intermittent electricity production, more electric vehicles (EV), and an overall electrification of society may all cause a higher variability between the balance of supply and demand on the electric grid. Battery storage has been identified as a solution to the emerging problem asit can be charged during hours of low power demand and then discharged to help meet the power demand during peak loads.

  6. 20. Is there a carbon emission-return relation? Exploring the existence of a carbon emission return relation in the Swedish stock market

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Gustaf Kaddik; William Lundell; [2023]
    Keywords : emission premium; emission alpha; carbon emissions; emission intensity; stock returns;

    Abstract : We use portfolio sorting and Fama-Macbeth regressions to investigate the potential relation between carbon emissions and stock returns in the Swedish stock market, a country with stringent carbon regulations and taxes. We research the Swedish stock market between 2010-2019 and do not find evidence of such a relationship. READ MORE
