  1. 1. Did the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Affect International Trade?

    Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Författare :Madeleine Lindblad; Emma Axelsson; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Spanish Influenza; Trade; Fixed effects; Gravity Model; Life expectancy; Mortality; Pandemics; Poisson; Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to contribute to the existing literature by investigating what to our knowledge is a previously unexplored area, namely if the 1918 Influenza Pandemic - the Spanish flu - had an effect on global trade. The Spanish flu is estimated to have killed 17-100 million people between 1918-1920 (CDC NCIRD, 2018; Roser, 2020). LÄS MER

    Författare :Carl Sjögren; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Heart rate variability as an indicator of increased morbidity has been established in previous studies. It is defined by different frequency bands, corresponding to different biological mechanisms. This thesis aims to study heart rate variability indices in the time-frequency domain through extraction from the UK Biobank dataset. LÄS MER
