  2. 1. Optimization-Based Models for Measuring and Hedging Risk in Fixed Income Markets

    Author : Johan Hagenbjörk; Jörgen Blomvall; Ou Tang; Giorgio Consigli; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Finance; Fixed income; Interest rate risk; Credit risk; Risk management; Optimization; Mathematics;

    Abstract : The global fixed income market is an enormous financial market whose value by far exceeds that of the public stock markets. The interbank market consists of interest rate derivatives, whose primary purpose is to manage interest rate risk. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling of biofuel combustion in fixed beds

    Author : Robert Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; packed bed; fixed bed; biofuel; combustion; modelling;

    Abstract : Fixed bed combustion is common is small to medium scale heat production in grate furnaces and domestic boilers. Modelling of these fuel beds can give a better understanding of the conversion process inside them, and provide a tool for analyzing the performance of furnaces and problems related to the fuel bed.

  5. 3. Detecting, Modelling and Measuring Disturbances in Fixed-bed Combustion

    Author : Sven Hermansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD modelling; solid fuels; grate furnaces; moisture content; fixed bed; combustion;

    Abstract : Combustion of fixed fuel beds in grate furnaces is one of the most common techniques within production of heat and power from solid fuels. The grate furnace used to be a working horse for combustion of hard coal, while today the incitement of using renewable fuel sources has turned biomass and municipal waste into dominating fuel types.

  6. 4. Essays on Exchange Rates, Exports and Growth in Developing Countries

    Author : Kristian Nilsson; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; International commerce; developing countries; growth; exports; exchange rate misalignments; Exchange rate regimes; exchange rate volatility; Internationell ekonomi;

    Abstract : This dissertation is a collection of four essays, where the unifying theme is how different exchange rate regimes have affected developing countries’ economic performance in different respects. In particular, we analyse the consequences on developing countries’ exports, but also, to some extent, the effects on their economic growth. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling elements in conversion of solid fuels - fixed bed combustion and gaseous radiation

    Author : Robert Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combustion; fixed bed; modelling; solid fuels; gas radiation;

    Abstract : For a long heat and power production by combustion of solid fuels has time been an established technique. Environmental concern of emissions for NOx, SOx and other harmful species has caused an increasingly stricter legislation on the emission levels of the boilers. READ MORE
