1. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020
University essay from Umeå universitet/NationalekonomiAbstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

2. Quantum Optical Description of High-order Harmonic Generation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Atomfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) is a highly non-linear process in which an atom interacts with a strong laser field. The laser field lowers the atomic potential barrier allowing bound electrons to escape into the continuum through tunnel ionization, propagate, and, with some probability, recombine with the parent ion.

3. Assessing the Eco-efficiency of Swedish Crop Farms and the Role of Subsidies : a Directional Distance Function Approach
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EconomicsAbstract : The agriculture sector’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change warrants assessments considering not only on-farm productivity but also the industry’s environmental sustainability. Utilizing the concept of eco-efficiency, this study analyzes the environmental performance of Swedish crop farms by incorporating farm-level GHG emissions as an undesirable output in the production function.

4. Eco-Efficiency of 35 sectors of Sweden: A Stochastic Frontier Analysis
University essay from Umeå universitet/NationalekonomiAbstract : This paper analyzed the eco-efficiency of 35 sectors in Sweden by using an outputoriented Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model. In the setup of the model, the total output of each sector was used as a good output, whereas Carbon dioxide (𝐶𝑂2), Nitrogen oxide (𝑁𝑂𝑥) and Carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were used as a bad output.

5. MEASURING ECO-EFFICIENCY OF PRODUCTION IN OECD MEMBER COUNTRIES : A STOCHASTIC FRONTIER ANALYSIS
University essay from Umeå universitet/NationalekonomiAbstract : This paper analyzed the eco-efficiency of 27 OECD member countries by using output-oriented Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) model. In the set-up of the model, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used as a good output whereas Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions were used as bad outputs.
