Since its independence in 1918, Iceland has tried a number of monetary regimes. They have all failed to provide monetary stability. Iceland is too small to conduct an independent monetary policy. What should Iceland do? We arrive at the conclusion that a currency board with the euro as the reserve currency is the best choice. A currency board delivers monetary stability through exchange rate stabi

In this article, I consider the use of seemingly old nominative forms (ONF) in object position. The phenomenon is noted for the dialects of Västerbotten (in Northern Sweden) by several authors. Earlier works imply that the phenomenon is rather recent (early 1900s) and that the phenomenon is in more common usage in the inland rural areas than by the more urban coast. I discuss the structural analys

This thesis explores the impact of extreme weather events during gestation and infancy on multiple outcomes, especially early labour income. The subjects are Indian children born between 1993/94 from the Young Lives longitudinal study. The weather shocks are extracted from the NOAA geo-referenced weather data. Thanks to Mediation Analysis methodology applied, not only the Direct Effects of early l

The bromide anation of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− has been studied at 25 °C and the chloride anations of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− and PtBr5H2O− at 50 °C. These reactions proceed via halide assisted mechanisms, compatible with the experimental rate laws determined. The bromide anation of tr-PtBr4CIH2O− studied at 50 °C gives PtBr5Cl2− via a bromide assisted path and PtBr62− via an REOA-path. The observed rate law is det

Falsterbo Peninsula on the south coast of Sweden is low-lying and exposed to flooding. In 1872 the extreme storm surge Backafloden caused large devastation on the Swedish, Danish, and German coasts in the South Baltic Sea. For the Falsterbo Peninsula, the peak storm surge level is estimated to have been 240 cm above normal. If a similar event happened today, the consequences would be far worse, as

A consortium consisting of a Chlorella sorokiniana strain and a Ralstonia basilensis strain was able to carry out sodium salicylate biodegradation in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) using exclusively photosynthetic oxygenation. Salicylate biodegradation depended on algal activity, which itself was a function of microalgal concentration, light intensity, and temperature. Biomass recirculat

The thesis sets out to investigate the research question “Does subject certification affect student achievement in mathematics?” By using data from an international large-scale assessment of student skills, Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), the thesis uses student achievement scores in mathematics as the dependent variable in a series of multiple linear regression mode

The thesis explores the making of Malmo Swedish third city, through an exploration of relevant literary texts that have the city's identity as its central focus. Taking a point of departure in a queer/reparatory methodological reading as well as in feminist postcolonial traditions; the thesis analyzes how and why certain ideas about the city of Malmö as a home are constructed and thus which id

This study investigates if there are any advantages in increasing foreign direct investments for members of the Association of South Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional integration area. The study explains the effect that regional integration, preferential trade agreements and free trade areas have on attracting foreign direct investments. Different aspects of regional integration are used to explain w

This study aims to contribute one piece to the puzzle on why industry plants in the U.S. choose to comply with environmental laws under seemingly low incentives i.e., few inspections and low fines. This study investigates private enforcement, specifically citizen suits, as a possible determinant of plants' compliance behavior. Empirically, the study focuses on compliance with the Clean Water
