Expected Shortfall as a Complement to Value at Risk - A study applied to commodities

Basel II requires Value at Risk (VaR) as a standardized risk measure for calculating market risk. However, the validity of the risk measure has been questioned since it neglects the losses beyond the VaR level.

Inre och yttre motivation i arbetslivet med koppling till organisationsfaktorer och demografiska variabler

Vid den aktuella studien har individens drivkraft i arbetssituationen diskuterats utifrån två perspektiv, inre och yttre motivation. Tidigare forskning har argumenterat för dessa som antingen distinkta faktorer, vilka båda kan ha sina för- och nackdelar, eller som sinsemellan kompletterande.

Kan religiösa manifestationer påverka vår könsjämlikhet?

Religionsfrihet är en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet. Artikel 9 i Europakonventionen reglerar religionsfriheten och dess begränsningar. Konventionen är inkorporerad i svensk lagstiftning och ska således tillämpas i Sverige. Med anledning av det så kallade handskakningsmålet ställs religionsfriheten i förhållande till arbetet mot ett könsjämlikt arbetsliv.

Synlighet har också betydelse då konsumenter oft
