   Sammanfattning : Costly reversals of bad policies: the case of the mortgage interest deductionThis paper measures the welfare effects of removing the mortgage interest deduction under a variety of implementation scenarios. To this end, we build a life-cycle model with heterogeneous households calibrated to the U.S. LÄS MER

   Författare :Johan Steensland; Michael Thuné; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a study of domain-based partitioning techniques for dynamic structured grid hierarchies, occuring in structured adaptive mesh refinement (SAMR) methods. Such methods for obtaining the numerical solution to partial differential equations yield highly advantageous ratios for cost/accuracy as compared to methods based upon static uniform approximations.
