  1. 1. Essays on Nonlinear Pricing and Welfare

    Författare :Tommy Andersson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; economic systems; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; Monopoly.; Welfare; Budget-balance; Redistribution; Envy-freeness; Nonlinear pricing;

    Sammanfattning : The price of a good is said to be nonlinear if the unit price not is constant but depends on some aspect of the quantity (or quality) purchased. This form of pricing is commonly used in many industries, e.g. the electricity and water industries, and has many desirable properties. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nonlinear Programming - Robust Models and Applications

    Författare :Christoffer Cromvik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optimization; robustness; multi-objective optimization; stochastic mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints; conditional value-at-risk; IMRT; traffic network design; airbag folding; Origami; airbag folding;

    Sammanfattning : The major theme of this thesis is nonlinear programming with an emphasis on applications and robust models. The thesis has two parts. The first three papers comprise the first part. Here, we discuss robustness properties of optimal solutions to a variety of models. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring the nonlinear rheological behavior and optical properties of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions

    Författare :Sylwia Wojno; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rheology; self-assembly.; rheo-PLI; nonlinear oscillatory shear; FTRheology; Cellulose nanocrystals;

    Sammanfattning : Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), with their versatile properties, offer immense potential in a range of applications, whether used independently or as sustainable reinforcements in polymers. They also find utility as renewable rheology modifiers in industries such as cosmetics, paints, and foods, where precise control over rheological characteristics is crucial for factors like product stability, prevention of splattering, and efficient processing and transportation.

  5. 4. Estimation and optimal designs for multi-response Emax models

    Författare :Bergrún Tinna Magnúsdóttir; Hans Nyquist; Ziad Taib; Nancy Flournoy; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multi-response Emax models; Clinical Utility Index CUI ; optimal designs; system estimation; dose-response studies.; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns optimal designs and estimation approaches for a class of nonlinear dose response models, namely multi-response Emax models. These models describe the relationship between the dose of a drug and two or more efficacy and/or safety variables. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Testing for Rationality, Separability and Efficiency

    Författare :Per Hjertstrand; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Revealed preference; Regional convergence; Rationality; Nonparametric; NONPAR test; LP test; GARP; Efficiency; Data Envelopment Analysis DEA ; Afriat’s Theorem; Bootstrap; Swofford and Whitney test; Weak separability;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to propose, evaluate and apply test procedures for rationality, weak separability and efficiency. In particular, it focuses on nonparametric revealed preference procedures. LÄS MER
