Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate if institutional ownership has an impact on a firm’s total payout ratio in Swedish firms. Methodology: The study uses fixed effects models with robust standard errors clustered by firm with year effects and provides several robustness checks by altering the dependent variable in our analysis. Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical framework
This paper empirically discusses the interaction between Chinese Official Development Assistance (ODA) and Sub-Saharan tax revenue 2000-2017. Through the use of the methods OLS and IV, I pose the question whether there is evidence supporting the tax-aid nexus, which suggests a negative impact of increasing foreign aid on tax revenue. Additionally, the research delves into the specific effects of O
The syndicated loan market is a major source of corporate funding, raising $5 trillion in 2021. The secondary market where these loans are traded has seen a rapid growth in the last few decades. This growth was accompanied by the entrance of new types of participants, increasing the investor diversity. Similar to other markets, there is a price difference between the initial stage and the entrance

Den globala uppvärmningen gör sig ständigt påmind genom extremväder och naturkatastrofer. Vid klimatkonferensen COP21 år 2015 undertecknade i stort sett alla världens länder Parisavtalet med målet att temperaturökningen ska begränsas. För att uppnå Parisavtalets mål ligger en stor del i att länder behöver minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sverige har minskat sina utsläpp med 35 procent sedan 19Global warming is constantly reminding us of its presence through extreme weather and natural disasters. At the COP21 climate conference in 2015, almost every country in the world signed the Paris Agreement with the aim of limiting temperature increase. The countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve this. Since 1990, Sweden has reduced its emissions by 35 percent, and in 20
ESG och hållbarhet är ett ämne som blivit väldigt aktuellt under de senaste åren och fått en större plats i den offentliga debatten. Ämnet har fått ett stort genomslag inom många olika sektorer i det svenska näringslivet och företag har blivit mer medvetna om deras påverkan på miljön kopplat till deras verksamhet. Utvecklingen har gått från att gälla framför allt företags rena miljöpåverkan till aESG and sustainability is a subject that has become very topical in recent years and gained a greater place in the public debate. The subject has had a major impact in many different sectors of the Swedish industry and companies have become more aware of their impact on the environment. The focus has moved from only including the environmental impact to also including social sustainability and goo
It is estimated that the average Swede throws away 61 kg of food waste annually. The more food waste there is, the more food waste bags are required. Since the implementation of a tax on thin plastic bags, grocery stores have been providing fruit bags of paper as an eco-friendly alternative. This study examines the current usage of paper fruit bags in the municipality of Helsingborg and explores t
Bakgrund: Humanitära katastrofer som krig och väpnade konflikter orsakar ofrivillig migration. Patienter med krigserfarenhet är utsatta och sårbara, vilket påverkar deras hälso- och sjukvårdsbehov. Sjuksköterskors personcentrerade arbetssätt är särskilt utmanande vid vårdandet av denna patientgrupp. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av att vårda patienter med krigserfaren
This study examines the factors influencing the perceptions and attitudes of Poles towards Ukrainian workers in the Polish labor market, incorporating the extension of Allport (1956)’s contact theory by Pettigrew and Tropp (2006). Given the economic relationship between Ukraine and Poland, the influx of Ukrainian immigrants, and the absence of a comprehensive immigration policy, understanding thes
In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe
Då särskild lagreglering saknas för entreprenadförhållanden har organisation-en Byggandets kontraktskommitté förhandlat fram för branschen anpassade standardavtal. Både beställar- och entreprenörsidan företräds vid avtalsarbetet. Avtalet AB 04 är det för branschen viktigaste och omfattar utförandeentrepre-nader. Tidsaspekten är central eftersom förseningar kan innebära väsentliga kostna-der för bDue to the lack of regulation regarding construction contract law in Sweden, the application of standard-form contracts is common. Negotiation between representatives from both parties has resulted in the contract AB 04 which is the most important contract of the industry. A delayed contract is often associated with great expenses such as penalty or the loss of rental revenue. The fourth chapter
Fel - avvikelser från avtalet eller från vad köparen med fog kunnat förvänta sig vid köp av fastighet och bostadsrättslägenhet regleras i Jordabalken (1970:994) respektive köplagen (1990:931). Rättsreglerna ser olika ut beroende på om det är fråga om en fastighet eller bostadsrättslägenhet och därmed vilken lag som är applicerbar. Det finns en rad olika feltyper och uppdelningar av dessa att ta häFaults - either lack of conformity with the agreement or what the buyer should be able to expect when purchasing real estate and condominiums are regulated in different laws, Swedish Land and Cadastral Legislation (1970:994) and The Sale of Goods Act (1990:931). The rules are different depending on the object, and that will affect which law is applicable. There are a number of different types of f
I Sverige finns det ungefär 22 miljoner kycklingar och höns. Den miljöpåverkan som uppkommer genom deras liv kommer främst från deras mat. För att kunna minska miljöpåverkan från kycklingarna och hönsen är det därför nödvändigt att titta närmre på hönsfoder. Genom att studera produktionskedjan för deras foder kan man upptäcka var störst miljöpåverkan uppkommer och vad man kan göra för att minska dThe environmental impact of poultry mainly arises from their feed. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the environmental impact of three Swedish poultry feeds and identify how their environmental performance could be improved. This was done with the method of life cycle assessment where the environmental impact categories of, climate change, acidification potential, eutrophication potential
Ett välstuderat ämne inom statistik och maskininlärning är så kallad klusteranalys. Forskning som drivs inom detta fält går ut på att designa modeller och algoritmer som tillåter maskiner och datorer att automatiskt dela in datamaterial i olika grupper på ett naturligt sätt utan mänsklig inblandning. Ett vanligt exempel är om vi har tillgång till data från finansmarknaden, t.ex. daglig avkastninA large area in statistics and machine learning is cluster analysis. This field of research concerns the design of algorithms that allow computers to automatically categorize a set of observations into different groups in a reasonable way, without any prior information about which observations belongs to which group. It is a part of the larger field of unsupervised learning within machine learning
Several researchers have approached the subject of VUCA and the challenges of operating in a VUCA world. However, previous research seldom addresses specifically how the work can be done or how these qualities and skills can be developed. The purpose of this study is to help professionals responsible for competence development in their work to enable employees to handle a VUCA world. Therefore, th
The usage of yeast in conventional brewing techniques involving alcoholic fermentation is an age-old process. Analyzing the viability and obtaining physiological information regarding the microbial diversity of the fermentation samples plays a pivotal role in obtaining real-time information as well as developing a more efficient process design. While traditionally, methods like methylene blue cell
By partly replacing the use of primary energy sources with waste heat recovery, climate and environmental goals for the future will be closer at hand. This thesis investigates the waste heat potential of Alfa Laval's vacuum brazing furnaces in Ronneby and alternative ways of integrating the furnace's waste heat into the building's HVAC system. The main challenge was the low-temperatur
