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.

I extend the Life-Cycle Hypothesis and separate wealth into housing wealth from financial wealth. The main method em-ployed is the Engle-Granger two-step method. Combined with the use of quarterly data, the method allows investigation of the long-term and short-term

Med förklaringsbörda avses det förhållandet att den tilltalade underlåter att lämna en förklaring till en viss omständighet och att detta får en för denne oförmånlig bevisverkan. Den laga grunden för att ålägga den tilltalade en förklaringsbörda återfinns dels i RB 35 kap. 1 §, enligt vilken domstolen har att fritt bevisvärdera allt som förekommit i målet, dels i 35 kap. 4 §, enligt vilken domstolThe burden of explanation refers to the situation where the accused omits to explain a given circumstance, which as a result affects the evidentiary effect unfavorably. The legal basis for imposing a burden of explanation on the accused is found in Chapter 35, Section 1 and 4 of the Swedish Code for Judicial Procedure. Section 1 states that the court is free to evaluate everything that has occurre

China has over the last decades clearly increased its foreign direct investments (FDI) in Africa. This has gained public attention and the question has been raised whether China’s growing investments could be harmful for the local African economy. This study examines if China’s FDI in Africa has affected the African countries’ total product export. This is analyzed more in detail by investigating

This is an interview-based study that aims to test the validity of the Agenda Setting Theory. As it was written before the Information Age, it claims that the public agenda (readers) have no real influence over the media agenda (newspapers).

Abstract The care for the environment in investment situations is rising among different groups of investors, due to social and psychological factors. Existing studies on nonpecuniary preferences for the environment are focused on measuring the proportion of individuals with green agendas, whereas we focus on measuring also magnitudes, i.e. how much future wealth are people actually prepared to gi

The focus of this bachelor’s essay is to investigate non-lexical interjections. In this study, imitative interjection proves to be an appropriate term for interjections such as mm-hmm and wow, with non-lexical properties distinguishing them from hey and yes. This essay aims to explore if this specific group can be extracted from a corpus, and further, if it is possible to detect any similarities a

Under sommaren 2019 uppmanades de svenska fackliga organisationerna att utlysa en strejk för klimatet. Klimatstrejken skulle innebära en strejk i politiskt syfte, vilket därmed nekades av centralorganisationerna. Diskussionen om fackförbunden borde utlyst strejk samt om de då hade haft rättsligt stöd, gjorde frågan om politisk strejk högaktuell. Denna uppsats utreder de rättsliga ramarna för polDuring the summer of 2019 the Swedish trade unions were requested to announce a strike for the climate crisis. A strike for the climate would have meant a strike for political purposes, and therefore the trade unions abstained. The discussion on whether the trade unions should have announced a strike, and if they would have had the legal right to do so, made the question about political strike in

The sharing economy is currently widely discussed and politically of great importance, especially in urban areas. After a first rise in public interest due to a potential decrease of consumption, engaged actors are now calling for regulation mechanisms to defend the concept against the co-option by large incumbent firms, who transform the original idea into new economic opportunities. The accommod

Consumerism contributes to sustainability problems of social fragmentation and environmental degradation. In response to this the sharing economy is a relatively new and rapidly growing phenomenon.
