  1. 1. Essays on Regional Growth, Comparative Advantages and Foreign Direct Investments

    Författare :Per Thulin; Pontus Braunerhjelm; David Audretsch; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Agglomeration; agglomeration economies; dynamic comparative advantage; FDI; gross domestic investment; industry-specific effects; institutions; labor mobility; market size; R D; regional growth; relative costs; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four essays, covering four different topics. The first essay investigates the relationship between inter-firm labor mobility and regional productivity growth. Previous studies have shown that density is positively correlated with growth. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Taking advantage of phylogenetic trees in comparative genomics

    Författare :Örjan Åkerborg; Jens Lagergren; Mathieu Blanchette; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Sammanfattning : Phylogenomics can be regarded as evolution and genomics in co-operation. Various kinds of evolutionary studies, gene family analysis among them, demand access to genome-scale datasets. But it is also clear that many genomics studies, such as assignment of gene function, are much improved by evolutionary analysis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Dynamic Capabilities Approach to Sustainable Business Model Innovation : A Case Study of the Swedish Architecture Industry

    Författare :Markus Joakim Edvard Arnez-Wegelius; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; dynamic capabilities; business models; business model innovation; sustainable business models; sustainable business model innovation; sustainability; architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Firms today are facing changing conditions which they must respond to in order to maintain a sustained competitive advantage. To address this change, practitioners such as managers and executives of large firms look towards the concepts of Business Models and Business Model Innovation, as tools to devise and execute strategies to manage that change.

  5. 4. Reconciling gene family evolution and species evolution

    Författare :Joel Sjöstrand; Jens Lagergren; Nicolas Lartillot; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational biology; Bioinformatics; Phylogenetics; Phylogenomics; Comparative genomics; Evolutionary biology; datalogi; Computer Science;

    Sammanfattning : Species evolution can often be adequately described with a phylogenetic tree. Interestingly, this is the case also for the evolution of homologous genes; a gene in an ancestral species may – through gene duplication, gene loss, lateral gene transfer (LGT), and speciation events – give rise to a gene family distributed across contemporaneous species.

  7. 5. Land Reform, Trust and Natural Resource Management in Africa

    Författare :Precious Zikhali; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Africa; Agricultural productivity; Bioeconomic model; Dynamic analysis; Land reform; Ethnicity; Ethnic nepotism; Investments; Mopane worm; Restrictive harvest period policy; Tenure security; Trust; Zimbabwe.;

    Sammanfattning : Four self-contained papers constitute this thesis. Paper I investigates what impact Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme, launched in 2000 as part of an ongoing land reform and resettlement programme aimed at addressing a racially skewed land distribution, has had on its beneficiaries’ perceptions of land tenure security and subsequent decisions to invest in soil conservation.
