4. 3. Analysing the effects of governmental control policies in transport chains using micro-level simulation

   Författare :Linda Ramstedt; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transportation; Transport chain; Governmental control policy; Micro-level simulation;

   Sammanfattning : Increasing freight transportation volumes continue to increase problems related to human health, congestion on the transport infrastructure, noise, climate changes, etc. Governments often want to minimize these negative effects, and this wish is expressed in societal goals, e.g., to reach environmental targets.

5. 4. Micro-level claims reserving in non-life insurance

   Författare :Felix Wahl; Mathias Lindholm; Filip Lindskog; Katrien Antonio; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Sammanfattning : Actuarial reserving deals with the problem of predicting outstanding claims payments on policies issued up to today to find an appropriate amount of capital, the claims reserve or technical provisions, to set aside in order to be able to meet obligations to policyholders. Historically, and commonly still today, this has been approached using purely algorithmic and deterministic methods, not based in any statistical models. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Historical demographic research is central to understanding past human behaviours and traits, such as fertility, mortality and migration. An essential part of historical demography is conducting longitudinal analyses at the micro-level, which involves the detailed follow-up of individuals over long time periods throughout their lives.
