1. Continuity and Positivity Problems in Pseudo-differential Calculus
Sammanfattning : The paper deals with various positivity and continuity questions arising in the Weyl calculus of pseudo-differential operators. Let W be a symplectic vector space. LÄS MER
2. Topics in Nonlinear Elliptic Differential Equations
Sammanfattning : In this thesis we examine the existence of solutions to nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations via variational methods.In Paper I we consider the existence of constrained minimizers which correspond to solutions of equations involving the iterated Laplacian, the iterated p-Laplacian and the critical Sobolev exponent. LÄS MER
3. Essays on Inequality and Education
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introduction and four self-contained essays.Essay I examines the contribution of socio-economic variables to Namibian income inequality. I examine the extent to which total income inequality is due to within-group inequality or between-group inequality. Income inequality in Namibia ranks among the highest in the world. LÄS MER
4. Family, Neighborhoods, and Health : Conditions for the Development of Human Capabilities
Sammanfattning : Essay 1: We use data from a large sample of adoptees born in Sweden to decompose the intergenerational persistence in health inequality across generations into one pre-birth component, measured by the biological parents’ longevity, and one post-birth component, measured by the adopting parents’ longevity. We find that most of the health inequality is transmitted via pre-birth factors. LÄS MER
5. Empirical Essays on Education and Health Policy Evaluation
Sammanfattning : Chapter 1: Impact of School Peers from the Same Region-of-Origin on Endogamy and Work Segregation: Evidence from Sweden This study estimates how the quasi-random variation in the proportion of school peers from the same Region-of-Origin (ROO) affects the probability for an individual to have a partner from the same ROO (endogamy) and the proportion of colleagues from the same ROO in the same workplace later in life (work segregation). This is answered by a fixed effect regression model, together with a unique dataset that merges different register databases from Sweden. LÄS MER
