2. 6. Essays in Labor Economics and Consumer Behavior

   Author : Marta Lachowska; Eskil Wadensjö; Michael Svarer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Expenditure; Wage Formation; Outside Options; Hours of Work; Wage Differentials; Economics; Nationalekonomi; Economics; nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three essays on labor economics and consumption behavior. “Consumption and Information: A Study of Consumer Behavior using Daily Data” studies the joint dynamics of information and consumption using data on a daily frequency. READ MORE

4. 7. Essays on Fiscal Policy, Public Debt and Financial Development

   Author : Alfredo Schclarek Curutchet; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; private consumption; Ekonomisk planering; Handel; Economic planning; imperfect information; Trade; financial development; economic growth; capital accumulation; productivity growth; private savings rate; vertical innovation; horizontal innovation; industry diversification; public debt; external debt; developing countries; taxation; government expenditure; fiscal policy;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three distinct articles that can be read separately. Each one has been awarded a chapter of its own. The independence of these chapters should not be taken as meaning that they are unrelated. Besides belonging all to the subfield of macroeconomics, they share the common feature of being inherently economic policy oriented. READ MORE

5. 8. Essays on Labor Supply and Adjustment Frictions

   Author : Jósef Sigurdsson; Torsten Persson; Arash Nekoei; Peter Fredriksson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intertemporal labor supply; Frisch elasticity; Labor supply; Adjustment frictions; Geographic mobility; Moving costs; Comparative advantage; Wage rigidity; Monetary policy; Consumption; Household debt; Economics; nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : Labor Supply Responses and Adjustment Frictions: A Tax-Free Year in IcelandHow does labor supply respond to a temporary wage change? To answer this question, I study an unexpected and salient tax reform in Iceland in 1987 that resulted in a year free of labor income taxes, but creating only minimal income effects, offering an ideal natural experiment. I first construct a new employer-employee dataset from digitized administrative records for the population. READ MORE

6. 9. Evaluation of physical work capacity and leg muscle fatigue during exhaustive stair ascending evacuation

   Author : Amitava Halder; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : Stair climbing; Energy expenditure; Oxygen consumption; Electromyography; Muscle fatigue;

   Abstract : AbstractPhysical exhaustion can constrain human ascending work capacity and performance during emergency evacuation on stairs. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations during two different strategies: self-preferred pace in three different public stairways in the field, and controlled pace in a laboratory on a stair machine.

7. 10. The Fight on the Flights : Emergency evacuations – human physiological performance, leg muscle activity and gait biomechanics during exhaustive stair and slope ascent

   Author : Amitava Halder; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stair climbing evacuation; Physical work capacity; Physiological constraints; Endurance; Energy expenditure; Oxygen consumption; Electromyography; Muscle fatigue; Incline gait biomechanics; Ground reaction forces; Required coefficient of friction;

   Abstract : Physical exhaustion can constrain stair ascending capacity during emergency evacuation. The overall aim of this research was to explore and compare stair ascending capacities and physiological limitations when using two different modes: 1) self-preferred pace on three different public stairways, and 2) four machine-controlled paces on a stair machine corresponding to different percentages of maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max).
