The study was conducted in collaboration with Södra Skogsägarna ekonomisk förening, using one of their sawmills as a case for model development and evaluation. The goal of the thesis is to apply existing quantitative tools and theory from academic literature to develop a p

This thesis examines the contemporaneous effect of a fuel price increase on the fishing effort in the EU’s fleet, comparing the small-scale fleet segment and the large-scale fleet segment. Using quarterly country-level panel data on fishing effort and fuel prices from 2021 to 2023, coefficients for the fuel price elasticity of effort are estimated through two fixed effects regressions using OLS. T

This paper examines the impact of the 2022 Russian airspace closure on bilateral trade flows between four Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark) and two East Asian economies (Japan and South Korea). By employing a novel approach combining Coarsened Exact Matching with the Synthetic Control Method, a synthetic control unit is constructed for each of the sixteen country-pairs, allow

PFAS are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that are widely used in both industrial applications and consumer products. PFAS are commonly detected in the environment and pose health concerns. Adsorption by GAC is considered an effective treatment method for removing PFAS from water. After a certain period of operation, GAC requires high-temperature incineration as disposal method. Another

Agility has emerged as a strategic ideal across many sectors, especially within financial institutions facing heightened pressure to respond swiftly to technological disruption, regulatory shifts, and market volatility. While commonly positioned as a solution to organizational inertia, agility is often promoted through leadership programs and strategic narratives that assume a shared understanding

The importance of a company’s go-to-market strategy when launching a new product cannot be stressed enough, a field that is highly researched. But what happens when a product enters a market, fails and an attempt to re-launch it is being made? Re-entry theory is a subdivision of go-to-market theory that although highly important, little research and few theories can be found, creating a gap and a

This thesis examines whether corporate green bond issuance leads to measurable improvements in environmental performance among European firms in high-emitting sectors. Using firm-level panel data from 2015–2022, we match green bond issuers with conventional bond issuers using nearest-neighbour matching with Mahalanobis distance. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we analyse changes in

In response to the emergency of climate change, green growth has emerged as an attractive pathway towards sustainable development. The environmental feasibility and economic consequences of green growth is a much debated topic among scholars. This thesis provides a panel data analysis of the relationship between green growth and economic performance in the industrial economies of Germany and Czech

This is a quantitative study that aims to investigate the labor market integration of foreign-born people. The purpose of the study is to analyze whether gender and class - based on the concepts of habitus, cultural and symbolic capital, and symbolic violence - are variables that affect how foreign-born people's qualifications and skills are utilized in the Swedish labor market, as well as the

This thesis investigates the open stormwater system in Augustenborg, Malmö, and aims to understand the past political goals and compare them with the present day structures, their current condition and how people interact with them. Drawing on planning documents and related sources from the time of the system’s development, the study explores the political and ecological goals that underpinned its

I omställningen till fossilfria lösningar har grön vätgas och ammoniak visat på att vara lovande energibärande bränsle. Att tillverka ammoniak med vätgas från förnybara energikällor kräver däremot stora mängder energi, och det är just därför denna studie är relevant. Genom att designa och simulera en ammoniakproduktion baserat på en 200MW elektrolysör med fokus på värmeintegration, har stora vinstGreen ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen, is emerging as an important energy carrier and decarbonized fertilizer alternative. However, its production is highly energy-intensive, making process efficiency critical to its commercial viability. This study investigates how targeted heat integration can enhance the energy and cost efficiency of green ammonia production based on a 200 MW PEM elec

Consumer choices around plant-based diets are increasingly shaped by political values, yet most research has focused on health, environmental, or economic motives, largely overlooking the role of ideology. While political ideology and political consumerism is well-documented in European contexts, there is limited understanding of how broader ideological orientations influence sustainable food beha
