  1. 1. Examining the Relationships between GII, HDI, Gini, and GDP per capita -A Comparative Analysis of Undeveloped and Developed Countries (1990-2021)

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : David Mandegar; Max Olsson; [2023-07-10]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis examines and evaluates key measurements, namely the Gender Inequality Index (GII), Human Development Index (HDI), Gini coefficient (a measure of income and wealth inequality), and GDP per capita. Further, this study investigates the strengths and weaknesses of each measurement, providing a comprehensive background on previous research and their interrelationships. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Tale of Two Sets of Opportunities. An exploration of Inequality of Opportunity among natives and second-generation immigrants in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Irem Ucan; [2023]
    Keywords : Inequality of Opportunity; normative economics; Shapley decomposition; second-generation immigrants; income inequality; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This paper examines the extent of income inequality that is attributed inherited circumstances such as social and family background, denoted as Inequality of Opportunity or IOp, for natives and second-generation immigrants in Sweden. The measurement of Inequality of Opportunity captures the between-type inequality, when individuals are grouped into types based on these predetermined circumstances, which involves parametrically estimating the average outcome of each type and comparing these averages between types.

  4. 3. Tsirelson's Bound : Introduction and Examples

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Amanda Kaarna; [2022]
    Keywords : Tsirelson s bound; Bell inequalities; The CHSH inequality; The I3322 inequality; Semidefinite programming;

    Abstract : Tsirelson's bound is the upper bound for a Bell inequality which is valid for all quantum mechanical systems. We discuss why Tsirelson's bound was developed by looking at some historical arguments in quantum physics, such as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, an argument for the quantum mechanical description of physical reality being incomplete, and local hidden variables.

  5. 4. Contemporary Measurements of Poverty : Does Modern Poverty Measurement instances fully consider the complexities of gender Dimensions?

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

    Author : Marcus Strandgård; [2022]
    Keywords : Aggregation; Content Analysis; Disaggregation; Health and Demographic Surveys; Household Surveys; Indicators; Individual Surveys; Inequality; Measurement; Multidimensional; Poverty; SDG.;

    Abstract : This essay concerns itself with the measurement of poverty. Through a lens of gender sensitivity, combined with three dimensions of gender, this essay analyses the quality of various SDG indicators. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards a Cooper pair splitter in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defined quantum dots

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Lunds Tekniska Högskola

    Author : Louise Olausson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cooper pair splitter; quantum dot; nanowire; superconductivity; InAs; crystal-phase; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Cooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. READ MORE
