We aim to forecast U.K. inflation out-of-sample. Our study uses disaggregated quarterly UK consumption data from 1964:1 to 2004:3. A major finding of our analysis is that inflation forecasts of long time horizons of 1.5-2 years are significantly improved if a measure of symmetry of the price distribution is incorporated into the forecast equation. In contrast, the inclusion of price variability le

Recent years have provided overwhelming evidence for substantial deviations from purchasing power parity as calculated from price indices for internationally traded goods and services. These deviations have significant implications for pricing policies of multinational firms. This article reports the findings of a comparative study of Swedish and Singaporean firms. It is aimed at assessing the imp

Background: Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand. Surgery is a traditional way to treat hand problems in inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the purposes of pain relief, restore function and prevent progression. There are numerous measures to choose from, and a combination of outcome measures is recommended. This study evaluated if instruments commonly used i

The goal of this thesis is to answer the question: Will a special cash dividend announcement from a company on NASDAQ GS create abnormal returns? This thesis will therefore find and measure abnormal returns surrounding a special cash dividend announcement. This is done by performing an event study, following the market model, consisting of 96 announcements from companies listed on the Nasdaq GS. T

The financial crisis starting in 2008 made many European countries opt for a change of exchange rate regime. The choice of price measure as an entry requirement to the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and as input in the monetary policy decision process re‐appeared as an important political and research issue. This paper aims to argue that, considering the importance of producer prices i

We investigate the relation between large negative house price co-movements in the cross-section of US cities and the national business cycle. The occurrences of large negative house price co-movements across cities cluster over time and these clusters are closely linked to NBER recession dates. A simple co-movement measure that aggregates large negative city-level house price returns reliably pre

Web-based public participatory GIS (PPGIS) has been used by governmental organizations to facilitate people's contribution to decision-making processes. However, these applications do not provide an open and transparent environment for public participation. This study suggests that PPGISs should be developed as decentralized applications (DApp) based on Ethereum blockchain technology to have a ful

Ordet ortopedi härstammar från grekiskans "orthos" som betyder rak och "paidion" som betyder barn. Inom ortopedin behandlades förr främst barn med skolios men idag omfattar området alla former av skador och sjukdomar i rörelseorganen, d.v.s. i leder, skelett och muskler. Konsekvenserna av sjukdomar och skador i rörelseorganen är stora för såväl den enskilda individen som för hälso- och sjukvårdeThe word orthopedic comes from the Greek words "orthos" meaning straight and "paidion" meaning child. Originally, orthopedics mainly focused on treating children with scoliosis but today the discipline includes all types of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, i.e. joints, bones and muscles. The consequences of musculoskeletal diseases and injuries are enormous for affected indivi

More than 50% of road accident fatality victims in Malaysia are motorcyclists, numbering more than 4,000 fatalities per year. The aim of this thesis is to investigate motorcyclists’ road safety problems in general in Malaysia, and narrow down the focus to the most salient road infrastructure related risk factors. After identifying access points on primary roads as hazardous sites, observations of

Sustainable energy storage and conversion utforskar innovativa metoder för att effektivt lagra och omvandla energi från olika förnybara källor. Fokus ligger på teknik som avancerade batterier, vätgasproduktion, bränsleceller och termokemiska system samt säkerhetsaspekter på batterilagringssystem. Forskningen syftar till att öka energitätheten, minska kostnaderna och förbättra skalbarheten, vilket

Titel: Bortglömda förebilder - en kvalitativ undersökning om jämställdhet i musikhistorieundervisning Författare: Anna Edström Detta examensarbete är en kvalitativ studie, baserad på intervjuer med fyra musiklärare som arbetar i olika delar av utbildningssystemet, och som alla undervisar i musikhistoria på olika sätt. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur lärare ser på sin roll som förmedlare a

Sweden went back to gold at the pre‐war parity, whereas Finland returned at the existing rate, accepting the depreciation of the markka that had occurred over the war and early post‐war years. The authors use a quantity‐theory framework to investigate the results of the divergent exchange rate and monetary policies followed by the two countries. The Swedish economy was forced to undergo a severe c

The main aim of this project was to peel off the epitaxially grown nanowires (NWs) from their native substrate and transfer them to the cheaper carrier substrate in order to make solar cell device from transferred NWs. Potentially the peeling and transferring idea is about to decrease the cost of NWs growth by reusing the native substrate especially for expensive material such as InP and GaAs whic
