1. 11. The Economics of Biofuel Development : Policy Incentives and Market Impacts

   Författare :Elina Bryngemark; Patrik Söderholm; Jussi Lintunen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the economics of biofuel development by studying the forest raw material market impacts of increased biofuel production, as well as the role of specific policy incentives. Paper [I] presents an economic assessment of two different developments – both implying an increased demand for forest ecosystem services – and how these could affect the competition for forest raw materials.

3. 12. Child Marriage, Human Development and Welfare : Using Public Spending, Taxation and Conditional Cash Transfers as Policy Instruments

   Författare :Yeasmin Sayeed; Lars Hultkrantz; Jörgen Levin; Jesper Stage; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HDs; Growth; MAMS; VAT Reform; Equity; Welfare; Secondary Stipend; Education; Age at Marriage; Multiregional Social Accounting Matrix; Cross-Entropy Estimation; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The theme of this thesis is to analyze the impact of policy interventions such as financing human development (HD), tax reform and conditional cash transfer programmes, under the framework of growth and sustainable development. These policy instruments are evaluated through the application of both partial and general equilibrium models, and the last paper concentrates on developing regional social accounting matrices (SAMs) as a core database for spatial general equilibrium modelling.

4. 13. Count data modelling and tourism demand

   Författare :Jörgen Hellström; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Time series; Count data; INARMA; Unit root; Aggregation; Forecasting; Tourism; Truncation; Inflation; Simulated maximum likelihood; Bivariate hurdle model.;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers concerning modelling of count data and tourism demand. For three of the papers the focus is on the integer-valued autoregressive moving average model class (INARMA), and especially on the ENAR(l) model. LÄS MER

5. 14. Supply Chain Risk Management : Identification, Evaluation and Mitigation Techniques

   Författare :S.Nurmaya Musa; Ou Tang; Jan Olhager; David Zhang; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Supply chain risk management; risk analysis; risk control; co-citation; system dynamics; modelling;

   Sammanfattning : Supply chains have expanded rapidly over the decades, with the aim to increase productivity, lower costs and fulfil demands in emerging markets. The increasing complexity in a supply chain hinders visibility and consequently reduces one’s control over the process. LÄS MER

7. 15. The European forest trade model : EU policy and the impact on forest raw material use

   Författare :Anna Mansikkasalo; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The main purpose of this study is to develop a numerical simulation model of the European trade in forest fuels and analyse the possible trade levels for forest fuels in Europe following the implementation of EU energy policy. The White Paper and the RES-E Directive have been designed partly to support an increased use of forest fuels as sources for energy generation. LÄS MER
