In 2009, an extensive reform of the Swedish fisheries was implemented. After several decades of regulation based on the principle of fish resource as common property, fish was put in a system of Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs) and released from the state and given to vessel owners. This thesis examines how labour and the implementations of a market-based system in fishing has (re)shaped the

Operant conditioning is a psychological theory about learning through positive and negative reinforcement which has been researched for decades. However, some fundamental components of this theory have not yet been thoroughly researched, such as its interaction with long-term retention and context. These components are essential if we want to understand how operant conditioning applies in everyday

The argument put forward in this paper is that stocks listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, from 1993 to 2016, exhibits return continuation over an intermediate-horizon. The best performing strategy, which selects stocks based on the previous six months’ returns and holds the portfolio for three subsequent months, yields an average monthly return of 2.33%.

The post earnings announcement drift (PEAD) is a well studied market anomaly. However, few academic papers have focused their attention on Swedish market. Therefore, this paper evaluates if the PEAD can be observed on the Swedish market between the first quarter of 2006 and the last quarter of 2019. Using a sample of 121 firms consisting of both small and large sized firms, this paper found statis

In this paper the trade of virtual items in online games for hard currency is analysed using economic theory. There are real welfare gains from trade but the game designer’s interests must be taken into account when deciding whether trade is desirable or not.

Beginning with the Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), several models have been proposed to conceptualize the complex behavioral and social proce

There is a growing shift in environmental management tools from the traditional command and control approach to market mechanisms where environmental goods and services are assigned market values to generate incentives for environmental protection. In November 2007, the Sabah state government announced a joint venture with New Forests Pty. Ltd. to set up a Wildlife Conservation Bank at Malua Fores

Private equity firms (PE firms) have become common owners of established firms in concentrated markets. We show that the threat of a PE acquisition can trigger incumbent mergers in an otherwise merger-stable industry. This can help antitrust authorities maximize consumer surplus because previously privately unprofitable – but consumer surplus-enhancing – mergers now take place. We thus predict tha
