Since the installment of direct elections to the European Parliament, turnout has been falling. The implications of low, and ever falling, turnout are many. By holding second-order elections in the form of local elections on the same day as the election for the European Parliament, which also is a second-order election, turnout increases. This thesis estimates that turnout would increase by approx

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between varying leverage ratios and performance for large Swedish firms.

Researchers from Sweden (IIIEE, Lund University) and the US (Enervee) have found that minimum energy per-formance standards (MEPS) for home appliances are an effective alternative to stand-alone carbon pricing. A modest tightening of MEPS is already sufficient to account for climate externalities. For several appliances, carbon prices would have to increase manifold to provide the same incentives

Title: Spheres of Influence - Exploring the impact of different ownership structures on the cost of debt.

During the last two decades, corporate ESG practices have garnered significant attention from the global community. The development of responsible business practices in association with sustainability and the integration of stakeholders has become an important topic for firms reputation, their debt financing cost and long-term success. Drawing upon the stakeholder theory, where a firm's succes

This thesis investigates whether firms that hedge, specifically against interest rate, currency, or commodity risks, experience a lower cost of capital compared to non-hedging firms. It further explores the firm-specific conditions under which hedging is most effective in reducing financing costs. We develop a custom Python-based model that integrates regular expressions, Natural Language Processi

Child malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease
