This paper examines potential determinants of banking and sovereign debt crises for the period 1970-2008 using a multivariate logit model. In addition, the paper analyzes links between these types of crises through conditional and unconditional probabilities. The empirical results for banking crises suggest that higher inflation and real interest rates increase the likelihood of a banking crisis,
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka ångests påverkan på uppmärksamhet. Deltagare med högt skattad ångest förväntades skilja sig åt från deltagare med lågt skattad ångest gällande deras uppmärksamhet.

The hypothesis stated is that higher wages in Denmark and the opening of the Öresund Bridge in July 2000 have led to a process of wage convergence between the two regions. The study examines the wages of nurses in order to detect a Swedish wage adju
Den bakomliggande teorin om planetbildning är att planeterna bildas samtidigt som stjärnan och därför av samma material som stjärnan. Därför måste dessa stoft- och gaspartiklar bindas samman till planeter. Teorin säger att detta görs i en disk runt stjärnan vilken uppstår vid stjärnbildning för att bevara rörelsemängdsmomentet och sådana diskar har observerats och skulle förklara varför alla planeTurbulence which can increase the maximum particle density in some region is interesting for planet formation since the process for building up planets has some problem. Planets are formed by dust grains sticking together into planets during the star formation period and the major problem is the growth from cm to km scale. During this phase both the microscopic molecular forces and the macroscopic
Present thesis concerns one of the controversial topics of this era - the embryonic stem cell debate, more precisely in connection with their patents, ethics and human rights. The thesis deals with various alternative opinions that make this issue a hot topic. While different viewpoints will be discussed, I bring up human rights issues into this debate, which will emphasize a possible conflict bet
