11. Are Distributional Variables Useful for Forecasting With the Phillips Curve?
C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Does information on the distribution of wealth and income help us forecast aggregate macroeconomic variables? In this thesis, we study how adding such distributional variables to a standard forecasting model affects the forecast accuracy, in the context of inflation forecasting. Using the simulated inflation forecasting approach of Atkeson and Ohanian (2001), we perform a horse race between a textbook NAIRU Phillips curve to an extension augmented with variables from the wealth and income distributions.

12. Are consumers inattentive to fuel saving for Electric Vehicles? A stated choice experiment
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is a crucial component of the global green transition within the transport sector, where EVs are often characterized by higher initial costs. This study investigates whether enhancing the salience of fuel savings information influences consumer decisions towards EVs, amidst criticisms of manufacturers like Tesla for leveraging such information in marketing strategies.

13. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/NationalekonomiSammanfattning : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

14. Evaluating probability weighting among lottery bond investors: an observational study on Cumulative Prospect Theory
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Cumulative Prospect Theory is a leading descriptive theory of decisions under uncertainty, backed up by a plethora of experimental evidence. This paper is one of the first to apply it to observational data. Risk attitudes in the bond market have not been studied in a CPT framework. We fill this research gap. LÄS MER
15. Modelling the Exchange Rate: Evidence from the Impacts of Quantitative Easing in Sweden
D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiSammanfattning : Quantitative easing, the unconventional monetary policy measure used by many central banks to combat low inflation when interest rates are at the lower bound, has shown to be an effective tool for depreciating the domestic currency. Although the exchange rate is of particular importance in a small open economy as it directly impacts inflation dynamics,trade competitiveness and plays a substantial role in shaping monetary policy, few papers have investigated how the depreciating effect of QE to the exchange rate works.
