Är svensk vindkraft rättvis? Sveriges utbyggnad av vindkraft kan leda till internationella rättviseproblem. När vi minskar våra utsläpp av växthusgaser genom att producera el med vindkraft ökar utsläppen och miljöproblematiken utomlands, något som svensk vindkraftpolicy inte tar hänsyn till. Att förnybar energiteknik är fossilfri innebär inte att den är problemfri. Även vindkraftverken bidrar tilThe conversion of the global energy systems to renewable energy is a key component in climate change mitigation. However renewable energy technology just like any human engineering project comes with an environmental impact. To ensure a fair and just conversion of the energy systems these impacts are important to consider. A qualitative content analysis of Swedish wind power policies was conducted

This study investigates the relationships between mispricing and returns following addition to the S&P 500. We find evidence that the index premium is demand-driven, resulting in mispricing that is subsequently exploited by rational investors. We find that index premia are temporary, undergoing a full reversal within 20 days. Using a novel approach to estimating mispricing, we find that post-a

This thesis investigates the effect of relaxing the assumption of full rationality on a frictional search and matching market with transferable utilities. It has previously been shown that such markets without transferable utilities may exhibit agents searching for a matching partner for longer than optimal due to them overestimating their prospects on the market. Reduced search frictions further
