2. 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.

5. Space Utilization in Road Transportation: A Case Study of Truck Deliveries
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : Aim: To understand why big logistics companies do not focus their resources on improving space utilization and decreasing the phenomenon of empty running. Moreover, this study aims to present the potential economic and environmental benefits of reduced excess air in packaging and its effect on truck deliveries. LÄS MER
