  1. 16. A European Material Kuznets Curve

    Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Författare :Pyry Järvinen; Emil Fernström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Material Kuznets Curve; Environmental Kuznets Curve; Economic Growth; Economics Development; Material Footprint; Emissions; Sustainable Growth; Decoupling; Europe;

    Sammanfattning : This bachelor thesis investigates the correlation between 28 European countries’material footprints (MF), as proxied by their Raw Material Consumption (RMC)per capita, and the environmental impact indicated by their carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions per capita, respectively, with their economic development, measured bytheir purchase power parity adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) per capita,during the period of 2008 to 2019. Specifically, through the theoretical frameworkof the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and by utilizing Fixed EffectsOrdinary Least Squares regression models as well as Pooled Mean Groupestimation, the thesis asks whether or not evidence can be found for the possibleexistence of an EKC, an inverted-U shaped relationship between environmentaldegradation and economic development, within this European context.

  3. 17. The Effect of a Universal Primary Education Reform on Gender Attitudes in Uganda

    C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

    Författare :Emma Bergman Karlsson; Klara Holmer; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design; Two-Stage Least Squares; Gender Attitudes; Universal Primary Education; Uganda;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines whether greater access to primary school education for girls and a decreased gender gap in primary school education affects gender attitudes, by studying a Universal Primary Education reform in Uganda that eliminated primary school fees. We conduct a Two-Stage Least Squares regression where we use exogenous variation in exposure to the reform as an instrumental variable to estimate the effect of educational attainment on gender attitudes.

    Nyckelord :Diagonal estimation; randomized numerical linear algebra; low-rank approximation; matrix functions; Diagonalestimering; randomiserad numerisk linjär algebra; lågrankad approximation; matrisfunktioner;

    Sammanfattning : Implicit diagonal estimation is a long-standing problem that is concerned with approximating the diagonal of a matrix that can only be accessed through matrix-vector products. It is of interest in various fields of application, such as network science, material science and machine learning. LÄS MER
