2. 1. Heterogeneous goods in transportation systems

   Author : Per-Olof Arnäs; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; object-orientation; heterogeneous goods; transportation; complexity; systems science;

   Abstract : This thesis presents research regarding the impact differences in goods type have on the control of a transportation process. It also explores how the object-oriented family of methods are used and can be used in analysing and designing transportation systems. READ MORE

4. 2. Heterogeneous firms, international trade and institutions

   Author : Sara Formai; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three independent papers, ordered chronologically with respect to when they were initiated. Empirical research has established that there are large and persistent productivity differences among firms in narrowly defined industries (Bartelsman and Doms, 2000). READ MORE

5. 3. Performing second-hand retail : organizing the material re-circulation of goods

   Author : Lars Hedegård; Peter Dobers; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Second-hand retail; Material re-circulation; ReTuna; Textile management; Shopping mall; Actor-Network Theory; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns second-hand retail and efforts to prepare used goods for re-circulation. Second-hand retail is one of the most promising forms of alternative retail. However, second hand retailers struggle to attract mainstream consumers and often fail to commercialize most of the used goods donated. READ MORE

6. 4. Applying quantum approximate optimization to the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem

   Author : David Fitzek; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; combinatorial optimization; variational quantum algorithm; Quantum computing; quantum approximate optimization algorithm; vehicle routing;

   Abstract : Quantum computing offers new heuristics for combinatorial problems. With small- and intermediate-scale quantum devices becoming available, it is possible to implement and test these heuristics on small-size problems. READ MORE

7. 5. Who benefits when IKEA enters local markets in Sweden? : An empirical assessment using difference-in-difference analysis, synthetic control methods, and Twitter sentiment analysis

   Author : Yujiao Li; Mark Dougherty; Hasan Fleyeh; Moudud Alam; Oana Mihaescu; Per Johansson; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; big-box entry effect; spatial spill-over effect; heterogeneous causal effect; difference-in-difference; synthetic control method; sentiment analysis.; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys;

   Abstract : Policy makers often spend considerable amounts of money to attract IKEA to their region despite not having any empirical measurements on its expected contribution to the local economy. As such, an empirical study of the economic and social impact of new IKEA stores can aid political decision making, and contribute to the literature regarding how big-box retail entry affects the regions where they enter.
