The systematic literature r

CAT bonds allow institutions to transfer insurance exposure from their balance sheet onto the capital market to hedge against catastrophe-linked payment obligations. For investors in the capital markets, CAT bonds are, at least theoretically, a means of employing capital to earn a return that is uncorrelated with alternative investments. Grounded in this theoretical approach, we investigate the po

The thesis explores the interaction between patent rights for Standard Essential Patents(SEP) and competition law, particularly Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union(TFEU), within the context of the European Union(EU) , and compares this interaction with the relevant provisions in the proposed EU SEP regulation COM(2023)232. Three research questions will be discussed:

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is a widely applied theory to assess the impact of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and intention on behavior. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of intention on actual electricity consumption as well as the relative impact of the underlying factors on intention to save electricity. This separates the study from most previou

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview and understanding of what innovation strategies to thrive in a VUCA world are presented by research published from 2015-2024. As the characteristics and consequences of the VUCA world become increasingly evident and in today’s corporate environment, utilizing innovation strategies are one forwarded way in order for corporations to mainta

Denna avhandling undersöker hur Europeiska unionens externa investeringspolitik överensstämmer med FN:s vägledande principer för företag och mänskliga rättigheters princip om samstämmiga riktlinjer. Rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod ligger till grund för analysen av hur EU för sin politik för utländska direktinvesteringar, med fokus på genomförandet av EU-institutionernas riktlinjer, förordnThis thesis examines how the European Union's external investment policy aligns with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights’ principle on policy coherence. The doctrinal legal method and legal analytical method serve as the foundation for analysing how the EU conducts its policy on foreign direct investment, focusing on the implementation of the EU institutions’ pol

Parents today have a responsibility to help navigate their children’s use of digital media to protect them from the risks that come with it. At the same time, digital media has an important role in today's society and can be a tool to help children grow and interact with the world around them. To regulate children's use of media, parents apply different mediation strategies according to pa

This thesis concerns the matter regarding the impact of quantitative easing on government bond yields. The extensive use of asset purchase programmes in the beginning of this century has raised a number of discrepancies for researchers to unravel. By applying a SVAR on time series data of Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States and using impulse response analysis we try to cont

The proliferation of plastic waste poses a significant contemporary challenge, driven by global population growth and the subsequent surge in plastic consumption. PE alone accounts for roughly 50-60% of the plastic waste stream. Its formidable resistance to enzymatic degradation, owing to its stable carbon-carbon (C-C) backbone and carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, further exacerbates the issue. This s

This thesis presents the derivation of the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM) from the trinification model with an additional family symmetry. The trinification group is assumed to be broken in a single step to the electroweak gauge group. A low energy Effective Field Theory (EFT) is constructed and matched numerically at one loop level to the trinification model at high energies. The ana

The relationship between government spending and economic growth has captured scholars and policymakers over the years. Despite studies dating back to the early mid-1900s, establishing a clear causal relationship has yet to be discovered. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the subject, with the ultimate goal of determining the effectiveness of fiscal policy. Employing a panel-V
