Syftet i den här uppsatsen är att diskutera om det finns historiska trender som tyder på att digitaliseringen kommer skapa teknologisk arbetslöshet i framtiden. Således är därför frågeställningen huruvida dagens teknologi, digitaliseringen, skapar teknologisk arbetslöshet. För att kunna besvara uppsatsens frågeställning används en kvantitativ metod där sekundärdata på länders olika branscher samt
In low- and lower middle income countries, female education is known to be one of the crucial elements for generating economic growth. However, a weakness in the established literature is the tendency to focus on either gender equality or human capital accumulation through female education as the driving force behind growth. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to existing research in the area by
We investigate to what degree return on technology stocks are affected by industry-, country- and global factors. Furthermore, the analysis is extended to look deeper into the industry factors by examining what the exposure of technology stocks to industry-specific shocks is caused by.

Ingen tidigare forskning inom politiska marknadsföring har använt sig av Cialdinis sex principer för påverkan. Den föreliggande studiens syfte var således att undersöka två av Cialdinis principer för påverkan och dess effektivitet inom politisk marknadsföring. Vidare var syftet att se vilka faktorer som avgjorde om deltagarna blev påverkade eller inte av två olika politiska texter. FrågeställningaWithin the field of political marketing there has not been any research that combined Cialdini’s six principles of influence with political marketing.

Financial intermediaries are ubiquitous in modern society and its impact have been exhaustively studied. A particularly vibrant field of research concerns the interrelationship between financial and economic development.

The use and production of polymeric plastic products have increased immensely since the 1960s, and with it, the correlated presence of plastics in the aquatic environment. Through different biotic and abiotic processes, the plastics will be degraded to smaller pieces, eventually down to the micro- and nanoscale as well. Previously known about these nanoparticles is their ability to enter cells dep
Background: The world is facing global warming because of excessive release of greenhouse gases. The Science Based Target Initiative encourages companies to do their fair share in limiting the temperature increase to 2 degrees above preindustrial temperatures. This is called setting science-based targets. Little research has been made on the target setting process and there are few practical examp

Skattelättnadsregeln för medlemmar i oäkta bostadsföretag, som togs bort från och med inkomståret 2016, innebar att de kunde göra ett avdrag på den beskattningsbara bostadsförmånen. I och med borttagandet av denna regel påverkas cirka 5000 privatpersoner av en högre utgift för sitt boende. Att en bostadsrättsförening klassas som ett oäkta bostadsföretag beror ofta på att de har en stor andel lokalUp until recently, members of co-operative housing associations with a high income deriving from non-housing activities could benefit from a tax exemption rule. This rule was last applied in 2015 and meant that a deduction could be made for the taxable housing benefit.

The use of factor-augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) models has become increasingly popular in the literature of empirical macroeconomics. This paper sheds light on the different factor estimation methods that are available to researchers. More specifically, this paper examines the widely used principal component method but also the computationally simpler common correlated effects method as
