  2. 16. The Economics of Biofuel Development : Policy Incentives and Market Impacts

    Author : Elina Bryngemark; Patrik Söderholm; Jussi Lintunen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the economics of biofuel development by studying the forest raw material market impacts of increased biofuel production, as well as the role of specific policy incentives. Paper [I] presents an economic assessment of two different developments – both implying an increased demand for forest ecosystem services – and how these could affect the competition for forest raw materials.

  4. 17. On the road to climate neutral Swedish transportation: Energy system modelling to support the transition at national, regional, and local levels

    Author : Jonas Forsberg; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Andrea Toffolo; Åsa Lindman; Hannah E. Daly; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy transition; Energy system modelling; TIMES-City; TIMES-Sweden; Transportation; Decarbonisation; Climate mitigation; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Abstract : Transportation is a critical pillar of modern society. Over the past decades, growth in mobility of people and goods have been both enabled by and dependent upon fossil fuels. Strong action is needed to break this dependence in order to reduce CO2. READ MORE

  5. 18. The matter of economic evaluations in health policy decision-making : The case of the Swedish national guidelines for heart diseases

    Author : Nathalie Eckard; Lars-Åke Levin; Magnus Janzon; Ann-Charlotte Nedlund; Clas Rehnberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Economic evaluations are used to inform decision makers about the efficient allocation of scarce healthcare resources and are generated with the direct intent to support decisions in healthcare. Producing guidelines is a complex process and the inclusion of health-economic aspects in the formulation of the Swedish national guidelines as a basis for the written recommendations (priority gradings), distinguishes them from their European counterparts.

  6. 19. Microsimulation modelling of prostate cancer screening in Sweden

    Author : Andreas Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Evidence-based health policy may require modelling of different interventions. The choice of model complexity is a trade-off, where simpler models may be easier to describe and calibrate, while complex models may better represent the disease dynamics and lead to more valid predictions.

  7. 20. Modelling trade-offs between forest bioenergy and biodiversity

    Author : Xi Pang; Ulla Mörtberg; Karin Öhman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Abstract : Globally, biodiversity is declining due to loss, fragmentation and degradation of habitat, which undermines ecosystem functioning and therefore threatens also the ability of ecosystems to supply ecosystem services. Moreover, there is a need for adapting to climate change as well as securing the supply of energy, which have led to a shift in energy consumption from fossil fuel to renewables, especially biomass, which in turn put increasing pressure on ecosystems and biodiversity.
