2. 6. DSGE Model Estimation and Labor Market Dynamics

   Author : Glenn Mickelsson; Nils Gottfries; Karl Walentin; Martin M Andreasen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; DSGE Models; Macroeconomics; Estimation; Uninformative Priors; Maximum Likelihood; Labor Hoarding; US Labor Market; Swedish Micro Data; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : Essay 1: Estimation of DSGE Models with Uninformative PriorsDSGE models are typically estimated using Bayesian methods, but because prior information may be lacking, a number of papers have developed methods for estimation with less informative priors (diffuse priors). This paper takes this development one step further and suggests a method that allows full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation of a medium-sized DSGE model. READ MORE

4. 7. Concealed Stigmatization : Resident Experiences and Practices in Area-Based Development in Gårdsten

   Author : Kim Roelofs; Karin Grundström; Martin Grander; Dominika Vergara Polanska; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : territorial stigmatization; area-based initiatives; resident perspectives; public housing; Urban studies; Urbana studier;

   Abstract : This thesis studies resident experiences and practices in area-based development in the residential area of Gårdsten, Gothenburg.

5. 8. Interfacial and material aspects of powders with relevance to pharmaceutical tableting performance

   Author : Maria Badal Tejedor; Mark W. Rutland; William Ducker; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atomic force microscopy; excipients; surface characterization; tableting; milling; amorphisation; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Tablets are the most common forms of drug administration. They are convenient to administer and easy to manufacture. However, problems associated with the adhesion of the powders to the tableting tools are common. This phenomenon is known as sticking and even though it has been well documented and studied, it remains poorly understood. READ MORE

6. 9. Adhesion and Friction - a Study on Tactility

   Author : Kenneth Duvefelt; Ulf Olofsson; Emile Van Der Heide; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adhesion; finger; friction; humidity; material; model; tactile friction; tactility; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Although we are surrounded by hundreds of surfaces we can still distinguish them from each other simply by touch. The tactile information, interpreted by our brain and given by our fingers, is precise, but to put words to the sensation is very difficult — is it smooth, sticky or harsh? We do not only perceive surfaces differently, we also describe them in our own way. READ MORE

7. 10. Macroeconomic Studies on Fiscal Policy and Real Exchange Rates

   Author : Göran Hjelm; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; econometrics; economic theory; Total factor productivity; Economics; Real exchange rates; Structural VAR models; Partisan models; Fiscal policy; Fiscal contractions; economic systems; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik;

   Abstract : This thesis contains four empirical macroeconomic studies and the papers may briefly be summarized as follows. In the first paper, we use both descriptive statistics and regression analysis to investigate whether movements in real exchange rates and money supply before and during fiscal contractions matter for the macroeconomic outcome.
