Denna studie analyserar sambandet mellan finanspolitisk åtstramning och jämviktsarbetslöshet utifrån historisk, teoretisk och empirisk synvinkel. Den finner att mer finanspolitisk åtstramning är signifikant korrelerad med en ökad jämviktsarbetslöshet. Fackföreningstäthet och högre arbetslöshetsersättning är också signifikant korrelerade med en högre jämviktsarbetslöshet, något som möjligen är kännThis study analyses the relationship between fiscal austerity measures and equilibrium unemployment from historical, theoretical and empirical perspectives.

Fosfor är ett av de viktigaste näringsämnena och ger upphov till övergödningsproblematik i åar, sjöar och hav. Tidigare undersökningar har visat att trenden för kvävekoncentrationen i Vegeån har varit tydligt minskande men att fosforkoncentration inte visat sig vara vikande. Vegeåns Vattendragsförbund vill undersöka varför samma trend inte syns för fosfor samt kartlägga hur stor den sammanlagda be

Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) beskriver ett minnesfenomen där framplockningen av ett visst minne i vissa fall försämrar och påverkar tillgängligheten till andra, relaterade minnen. En framträdande förklaring har presenterats inom inhibitionsteori där aktiv inhibering anses orsaka RIF, genom facilitering i framplockningen av målminnet bland konkurrerande minnen i selektiv minnesframplockning. Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) refers to a memory phenomena where retrieval of a memory in some cases can deteriorate and affect the accessibility of related memories. A prominent explanation is presented in the inhibitory theory where active inhibition is considered to cause RIF by facilitating retrieval of a target memory among competing memories in selective memory retrieval. If exertion of

Following the oil price shocks of the 1970s, a great deal of research has been focused on the relationship between oil price changes and macroeconomic variables.

Indonesia is a significant global player both in terms of economic performance and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. While its total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and emissions are ranked high in global comparisons, both in terms of per capita measures have a relatively low ranking, suggesting that there is potentially more growth to come. Growth in Indonesia’s total emissions is being driven by econ
