Does democracy increase economic growth? This thesis has narrowed down the question to empirically estimating the causal effect of local elections of district heads on economic growth in Indonesia by using a quasi-experimental research method, or “natural experiment” approach.

Health plays a crucial role for human development. Therefore, foreign aid is often directed to combat ill-health in the developing world.

Our resu

Africa has suffered two traumatizing events in history that have helped shape the present day individual, be it on the continent or in the diaspora. First there was the transatlantic slave trade that spanned from the 15th century to the late 19th century and saw the inhuman and forceful transportation of Africans to plantations and homes in the Americas. Then came colonialism immediately after sla

Ett viktigt syfte inom EU är ökad konkurrens på den Europeiska marknaden och för att målet ska uppnås föreslog den Europeiska Kommissionen ett Direktiv som reglerar uppköpserbjudanden vilket skulle bidra till förenklade förvärv av företag på den gemensamma marknaden. Företagsförvärv innebär huvudsakligen att ett företag köper aktier av ett annat företag vilket även ibland kan leda till övertagandeOne of the main purposes in EU is increased competiveness on the European market and to achieve the goal; the European Commission made a proposal of a Directive on Takeover Bids which would facilitate the takeover activity in EU.

By using an estimate of both the extensive and the intensive margins of variety growth, I generate an upper and a lower bo
