This study measures the effect of competition on leverage using unbalanced panel data from 4,957 US listed firms within 8 industries. To address the issues associated with concentration indexes, we contribute to the literature by using a new measure of competition – the Boone indicator which is based on efficiency. Initially results indicate a positive (negative) effect of competition (concentrati

Price stability has become an increasingly important target of policy makers. However, the debate on the effects of inflation and economic growth is by no means settled. It is generally agreed that inflation uncertainty harms growth, however, a common challenge in inflation-growth studies lies in the difficulty to separate the effects of inflation rates from inflation volatility. Using inflation r

This project aims to highlight the manufacturer as an important asset in product development. In order to design a product, it is necessary, especially for industrial designers to have good knowledge of the manufacturing technologies that are available and to have knowledge of the working environments in which our ideas are put into practice. Increased cooperation between local actors opens opport

Popular science summaryMycorrhizal associations Mycorrhizal fungi are organisms that live in association with plant roots and provide plants with water and nutrients in exchange for the sugars obtained during photosynthesis. In forested ecosystems mycorrhizal fungi are crucial for tree nutrition and trees rely heavily on these associations to take up key elements like nitrogen and phosphorus. As rHigh levels of nitrogen (N) deposition might result in a transition from N to phosphorus (P) limitation in high latitude forests. Thiscould have fundamental consequences for forest production, nutrient acquisition and nutrient leaching.I studied a Norway spruce forest in a region of high N deposition in southwest Sweden and added N, P or N+P to force thesystem to N or P limitation. I studied tree

Payment Services Directive (PSD) was designed with the objective of constituting a new legal framework in the field of payments in the European Union. The Directive not only introduces several new solutions, but also transforms those already existing – reshaping the legal background to a large extent. It is clearly visible that the area of payments is a vastly complex part of the EU law. One shou

Innovation is considered one of the most important drivers for economic growth but measuring innovation is complex and abstract. To measure innovation, it is common to use proxies such as patent and R&D expenditure. How good of a measure is patents when it comes to explaining economic growth? Patents have faced a lot of critique when being used as a proxy for innovation, quality adjustment for

While there is a growing number of works that examine anti-gender campaigns, less attention has been devoted to the potential consequences of the anti-gender mobilizations for the internal relations within socially progressive (feminist and LGBTQ+)

According to a recent conjecture in the literature, earnings have become a poorer proxy for cash flow from operations over time. We find that since 1988, when cash flow statements started to be consistently reported in Compustat, the cash effectiveness of earnings has actually increased for a large sample of US manufacturing firms. This occurs despite the introduction of fair value accounting and

The aim of this thesis is to explore how young Swedes’ news habits and trust in the news media differ from the rest of the Swedish population. For this purpose we surveyed 134 high school students and compared the results with data from the 2019 edition of the Digital News Report, published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. We found that young Swedes’ news consumption for the m
