This thesis investigates whether firms that hedge, specifically against interest rate, currency, or commodity risks, experience a lower cost of capital compared to non-hedging firms. It further explores the firm-specific conditions under which hedging is most effective in reducing financing costs. We develop a custom Python-based model that integrates regular expressions, Natural Language Processi
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effects of the announcement and implementation of the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on ESG scores and individual pillar scores of firms. Furthermore, this thesis investigates the impact of firm ESG scores on firm performance. Methodology: This thesis uses Difference-in-Differences and Regression Discontinuity De
This thesis investigates the economic and operational consequences of price-responsive operation of a large-scale alkaline electrolyzer producing hydrogen for fossil-free steel production. A time-resolved linear optimization model was implemented in Python, describing the interaction between a 740 MW electrolyzer (37 units of 20 MW), a hydrogen storage and a constant hydrogen demand. Three operati
Traditional football analytics largely evaluates players through on-ball events such as shots, passes and dribbles, leaving the much longer periods of off-ball play poorly measured. This thesis develops a spatial framework for evaluating individual player contributions in crossing situations, where a cross is defined as an aerial or driven delivery from a wide area into the central penalty zone. T
This thesis examines whether the adoption of automated decision-making (ADM) in Swedish municipal social assistance is followed by changes in welfare outcomes. ADM has spread rapidly across Swedish municipalities, but existing research has mainly studied single cases and organisational processes. I therefore study whether this diffusion leaves a measurable pattern at the municipal level. The analy
Purpose: This study explores how employees from the three different diversity groups, individuals with mental health issues, neurodivergent employees and women with gendered care responsibilities, interpret return to office (RTO) policies and how these interpretations shape the employer-employee relationship. Methodology: This study presents a qualitative, interpretivist thesis grounded in symbol
Abstract This thesis examines how Swedish civil society organizations (CSOs) construct and communicate their role in crisis preparedness through online communication, and what perceived gaps between civil society and the state emerge through this discourse. Drawing on a qualitative digital ethnographic approach, the study analyzes Facebook posts and selected organizational reports from the Swedish
Sweden has long been described as a norms-driven and solidaric leader within international development, historically committed to poverty reduction and non-self-seeking aid. The new policy document, the Reform Agenda ‘Development Assistance for a New Era – Freedom, Empowerment and Sustainable Growth’, introduced in December 2023, signals a reorientation of Swedish aid. It places development cooper
This thesis explores how growing political debates and pushback affect how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies are understood and carried out within two Nordic banks, in Sweden and Denmark. Even though the region has a strong international reputation for equality, which often turns into a “myth of completed equality” that creates complacency and “gender fatigue”, DEI initiatives still

Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #2 2025-02-10 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! I know there are a bunch of you who feel quite sick of winter right about now. It is still dark, it is still cold, all the additional lights in people’s windows are gone and it is a loooong way to summer. I am one of those persons who have kind of always liked February in the sense that the small differences actual
