Internprissättning i tider av ekonomisk oro

Dagens globaliserade värld med snart sagt obegränsade möjligheter att agera snart sagt var som helst i världen har lett till att internprissättnings-frågorna har blivit allt mer essentiella för såväl internationella bolag i in-tressegemenskap som skattemyndigheter. Prissättningen av varor och tjänster mellan bolag i intressegemenskap er-bjuder stora möjligheter att avvika från vad bolag på en konThe global world of today with almost unlimited possibilities to act any- where in the world has led to a situation where transfer pricing has be- come essential to both multinational associated enterprises and tax admin-istrations. The pricing of goods and services between associated companies offers a lot of opportunities to diverge materially from what companies operating in a competitive and

Has China passed its Lewis Turning Point? - A study of regional variation

This paper examins the dynamic relationship between the supply of labor and wages in the Chinese agricultural sector using the Lewis model. The Lewis model predicts that as economic growth takes of in a low-income country, wokers will move from the industrial sector and at a certain point called "the Lewis turning point" surplus lbor in the agricultural sector will be depleted and this w

Synthesis of a Tetradentate Pyridyl/benzimidazole Ligand and its Iron(II) Complex

Nästan alla organiska föreningar innehåller kol-vätebindningar (C-H). Kolväten i naturen, så som naturgas och råolja, är exempel på energirika och billiga kemiska råmaterial. Aktiveringen, och speciellt oxideringen, av dessa kol-vätebindningar är en väldigt viktig reaktion med både biologisk och industriell relevans. Ett exempel på detta är omvandlingen av metan till metanol. Metan (CH4) är huvudbOxygenases are a group of enzymes that use molecular oxygen to oxidize a substrate, a very important process both biologically and industrially. High-valent Fe(IV)-oxo species have long been implicated as the key reactive intermediates in heme and non-heme iron oxygenases. Since the first well-characterized mononuclear non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complex was reported in 2003, much effort have been put i

The impact of algal toxicity on life-cycle impact assessment of plastic additives and the potential of using QSAR predictions to fill the algae data gap

Användning av QSAR vid screening av kemikalier - besparar oss tid, pengar och djurs lidande Spridning av kemikalier i miljön är ett växande globalt problem. För att snabbt kunna minska eller byta ut de kemikalier som utgör störst hot mot människor och miljö måste man först identifiera de mest skadliga. Detta är dock ingen enkel uppgift eftersom modellerna man använder kräver stora mängder data sPurpose There is a need to find a quick way to assess the impacts of the growing amount of globally manufactured and emitted chemical substances. This paper evaluates the use of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) for predicting environmental effects of plastic additives in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). It also evaluates the impact on so called Characterization Factors (CF)

The impact of Credit Rating Announcements on Credit Default Swap Spreads - An empirical study of the North American Credit Default Swap Market before, during and after the global financial crisis of 2008-2009

A Credit Default Swap spread is a reliable measure of credit risk as it is the compensation demanded by a party to bear this risk. Officially, credit risk is denoted as credit ratings announced by credit rating agencies. Since rating announcements contain information regarding credit risk, the market should incorporate this new information into the CDS spread. The aim of this study is to investiga
