In the main difference-in-differences estimation, support is found for the predictions of trade-off theory after the inclusion of control variables aiming to capture shareholder distribution and capital structure optimization.

The assessed tests in the screening phase are the 4Kscore, Prostate Health Index (PHI), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Prostarix. The assessed tests for use after a negative biopsy are Prostate Cancer gen 3 (PCA

This thesis examines the impact of secular stagnation and increasing debt levels on real long-term interest rates by estimating a SVAR model for the US, UK, and Sweden between 1902 and 2020. The results of this thesis emphasize the impact of slow productivity growth in the decline of real long-term rates since the mid-1980s, with the evidence being quite strong for the US and UK, and somewhat weak

In this context, multi-scalar transition trajectories have been outlined, suggesting, among other things, that sectoral transfor
