  1. 1. Double Machine Learning for Insurance Price Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jakob Kristiansson; [2023]
    Keywords : DML; Double Machine Learning; Price Optimization; Insurance Pricing; DML; Dubbel Maskininlärning; Prisoptimering; Försäkringsprissättning;

    Abstract : This thesis examines how recent advances in debaised machine learning can be used for estimating price elasticities of demand within the automotive insurance field. Traditional methods such as generalized linear model (GLM) to estimate demand has no way of ensuring there are no biases in the underlying data selection, especially when the confounding variables are many.

  3. 2. The Impact of Oil Prices on Carbon Dioxide Emission Levels in Sweden : a time-series regression analysis of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Tilde Löfgren Weinebrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : oil prices; CO2 emissions; oil price elasticity; Multiple Linear Regression Model; Sweden; correlation;

    Abstract : Globally, CO2 emissions have increased over the last decades. This trend has been broken in Sweden, where CO2 emissions are declining. Oil is one of Sweden's largest sources of energy, accounting for over 20 % of all energy consumption, and oil combustion is a large source of CO2 emissions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Fracture simulation with a hyperelastic phase field model

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Adrien Fradet; [2023]
    Keywords : Fracture; Phase field modeling; Hyperelasticity; Brott; fasfält-methoden; hyperelasticite;

    Abstract : The phase field method is a versatile tool to study crack initiation and propagation in systems with complex geometries. Based on a variational formulation of the equilibrium equations, the sharp crack topology is regularized by a crack with diffusive edges and the damage is described by a continuous phase field variable.

  5. 4. Labour Demand Composition and Wage Responses in a Transition to a Clean Economy : A Case Study on the EU ETS

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Jeroen Boksebeld; [2023]
    Keywords : Environmental Economics; EU ETS; Labour market; Sustainable Transition; Deterministic Simulation; Economics;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the effect on labour demand of a transition from an unconstrained economy featuring a ’clean’ and a ’dirty’ production method towards a fully clean economy, using a simplified General Equilibrium model. This model is calibrated to the European Union Emission Trading System (EUETS) and features a linear decline in a cap placed on the dirty production method. READ MORE

  6. 5. Gasoline prices effect on public transportation: A study of Chicago : A study of the cross-price elasticity between gasoline prices and public transportation in a metropolitan setting.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi och statistik (NS)

    Author : Melker Bergman; [2023]
    Keywords : Cross-price elasticity; ARDL; gasoline prices; public transportation;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the cross-price elasticity of rail and bus usage with gasoline prices. This is done to see how the short-run cross price elasticity has changed and to see if the same long-run relationship can be seen in the long run as previous pooled models. READ MORE
