The aim of this thesis is to examine the long-run relationship between regional house prices, how the house price model behaves in the short run and if aggregated national house price models may be misleading. To investigate whether house prices are related in the long run we use cointegration tests to look for common trends. The short-run behaviour of the model is estimated by an error correction

En detaljerad sedimentologisk studie har gjorts på en sektion längs med en moränkulle vid Törnåkra i Småland, södra Sverige. Två sedimentära enheter, enheterna A och B, identifierades baserat på deras sedimentologiska särdrag. Den understa enheten (A) bildades genom vertikal pålagring av gravitationsdrivna sedimentflöden (diamiktona lager), kombinerat med att smältvatten dissaggregerade en stor de

Consumer choice policies may improve the matching of consumers and providers, and may spur competition over quality dimensions relevant to consumers. However, the gains from choice may fail to materialise in markets characterised by information frictions and switching costs. We use two large-scale randomised field experiments in primary health care to examine if individuals reconsider their provid

Up to 10% of pediatric cancer patients harbor pathogenic germline variants in one or more cancer susceptibility genes. A recent study from the US reported pathogenic variants in 22 out of 60 analyzed autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility genes, implicating 8.5% of pediatric cancer patients. Here we aimed to assess the prevalence of germline pathogenic variants in these 22 genes in a population-

Ökande oljepriser och en stigande efterfrågan gör idag undersökningar av alternativa petroleumreservoarer extra intressanta. Istället för att borra i den sedimentära berggrunden ges nu möjligheten att granska kristallina berggrundsreservoarer. Den här typen av borrning i kristallin berggrund äger rum på flera platser i världen, exempelvis i Vietnam och Yemen. Det norska företaget Lundin Norway AS Rising oil prices and an increasing global use of fossil fuels make the survey of alternative petroleum reservoirs of great importance. Instead of drilling in regular sedimentary successions, the possibility of investigating reservoirs in crystalline basement is in many places of economic interest. Reservoirs in crystalline basement rock are producing oil in several countries e.g. Vietnam and Yeme

Education is considered to be one of the most important tools for enabling the transition to a sustainable society, and it is commonly agreed that education for sustainable development (ESD) should be pluralistic, democratic and promote critical thinking. However, there are indications that education might be dominated by green consumerist approaches to solving environmental problems. If this is t

The introduction of turnpike trusts has been considered to be an integral part of the rapid decline in transport costs in England. Institutional change in the transport system or the lack thereof has been used to explain if and when a transport revolution occurred in different localities. However, improved roads are just one component of declining inland transport costs. In this paper, we specific
