2. 1. Energy Efficient Vehicle Policy: Lessons Learnt : An analysis of the effects of incentive policies on the demand, usage and pricing of energy efficient vehicles

   Author : Jake Whitehead; Joel Franklin; Simon Washington; Anders Karlström; Jonas Eliasson; Bert van Wee; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Efficient Vehicle; Incentives; Policy; Demand; Usage; Pricing; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : Encouraging the uptake of energy efficient vehicles (EEVs) is an aspiration of critical importance in a day and age in which we are confronted with the increasingly dire consequences of human behaviour on our planet, and on the planet for generations to come. The transport sector is one of the highest contributors of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, whilst pollution from this sector is responsible for a large proportion of human deaths each and every year.

4. 2. Pricing of Some Path-Dependent Options on Equities and Commodities

   Author : Mats Kjaer; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cliquet options with global floor; Commodity swing options; Storage valuation; Correlation matrix modelling; Bachelier-Samuelson model; Jump-diffusion models; Futures curve models; Parabolic PDE PIDEs; Numerical integration; Finite difference methods.;

   Abstract : This thesis brings together three papers about the pricing of European and Bermudan path-dependent options, and one paper about the stochastic modelling of a futures price curve. Paper one proposes a fast numerical method to compute the price of so called cliquet options with global floor, when the underlying asset follows the Bachelier-Samuelson model. READ MORE

5. 3. Tracking Emissions Reductions and Energy Efficiency in the Steel Industry

   Author : Johannes Morfeldt; Semida Silveira; Wolfgang Eichhammer; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; greenhouse gas emissions reductions; indicators; iron and steel industry; systems analysis; energieffektivitet; växthusgasutsläppsminskning; indikatorer; järn- och stålbranschen; systemanalys; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The iron and steel industry has become increasingly globalised. Market conditions are also changing and de-carbonisation of production is challenging.The objective of this thesis is to assess how energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions can be promoted and effectively monitored in the steel industry.

6. 4. Bridges with Random Length and Pinning Point for Modelling the Financial Information

   Author : Mohammed Louriki; Astrid Hilbert; Dorje C. Brody; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brownian motion; Brownian bridge; Gaussian process; Gaussian bridge; Gamma process; Gamma bridge; Lévy process; pinned Lévy process; Markov process; Bayes theorem; stopping time; default time; semi-martingale decomposition; credit risk; defaultable bond; last passage time; enlargement of filtration; stochastic filtering theory; information-based asset pricing; market filtration.; Mathematics; Matematik;

   Abstract : The impact of the information concerning an event of interest occurring at a future random time is the main topic of this work. The event can massively influence financial markets and the problem of modelling the information on the time at which it occurs is of crucial importance in financial modelling. READ MORE

7. 5. Impacts of Climate Policy and Natural Disasters: Evidence from China

   Author : Ruijie Tian; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; carbon pricing; directed technological change; innovation; heterogeneous firms; independence property; transaction costs; emissions reduction; allowances; production networks; resilience; diversification; shock transmission; supply chains; natural disasters;

   Abstract : The last decade has seen heightened interest in carbon pricing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions responsible for anthropogenic climate change. Over the past decade, China–responsible for over a quarter of global carbon emissions–has aimed to reduce its emissions through an ambitious Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) which charges certain firms for the greenhouse gases they emit.
