Whereas formal meetings have quickly been integrated, informal commu-nication appears to be more difficult online.

Begreppet särskild måttfullhet har styrt marknadsföring av tobaksprodukter sedan 1975. Idag råder som huvudregel ett förbud mot marknadsföring av tobaksprodukter. Ett av undantagen till huvudregeln är att kommersiella meddelanden inom butiker får förekomma så länge de inte är uppsökande, påträngande eller uppmanande till bruk av tobak.

As a general rule, marketing of tobacco products is forbidden. One of the exceptions to this general rule is that commercial messages within shops may occur as long as they are not reaching out to people, intrusive or inciting the use of tobacco.

Penningtvätt inom försäkringsbranschen sker genom att tillgångar, som härrör från brottslig verksamhet, investeras i en försäkring vilket gör det svårt att spåra tillgångarnas ursprung. När pengarna sedan betalas ut till försäkringstagaren, eller förmånstagaren, förvandlas de illegalt förvärvade tillgångarna till vita pengar med legitim status. Penningtvätt utgör ett stort problem för EU:s finanMoney laundering in the insurance industry takes place by investing in insurance with assets from criminal activities, which makes it difficult to trace the origin of the money. Once the money is paid to policyholders or beneficiaries, the illegally acquired assets are transformed into laundered money. Money laundering is a major problem for the EU’s financial system why the regulations against

In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference

Frågan om att införa ett sådant förbud i Sverige har varit återkommande sedan FN:s internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering ratificerades på 1970-talet. Av konventionen följer en förpliktelse att förOn 4 May 2021 the report Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) was published, presenting a bill on criminalising racist organisations.

The UN convention requires the state parties to p

Gängkriminalitet har ökat det senaste årtiondet i både Danmark och Sverige. Trots de i princip identiska problemen har Danmark, men inte Sverige infört extraordinärt hårda regler mot personer vilka är verksamma inom ett kriminellt nätverk. Syftet för denna framställning är (1) dels att beskriva lagstiftningen/förslag beträffande gängkriminalitet i respektive land, (2) dels undersöka vilka skäl resSummary Gang-related crime has increased the last decade in both Denmark and Sweden. Despite similar problems with organized crimes, the two countries have applied different approaches. Denmark has to a higher extent introduced extraordinarily strict rules against people who are active in an organized criminal gang. The purpose of this study is (1) to describe the legislation/proposals regarding g

On the financial markets, there are a large number of financial instruments. Two of these instruments is the European and Bermudan option, where the Bermudan option can be seen as a discrete version of the American option. Meaning, if one can price the Bermudan option one can also estimate the price of an American option. A method used to estimate the Bermudan option price is the Least-square Mont

Borgen är en form av säkerhet till förmån för kreditgivare. En borgensmans åtar sig att uppfylla en annan persons förpliktelse, vanligtvis att betala en penningskuld. Det innebär att kreditgivare kan återfå försträckta belopp, även om kredittagaren inte kan betala tillbaka. En borgensman står inte nödvändigtvis att vinna på sitt åtagande, men riskerar likväl att finna sig i ekonomiskt trångmål om

After the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 (GFC) monetary policy and central banking have changed remarkably. Central banks responded to the crisis with extraordinary measures to preserve financial stability but were also largely left alone to fight the economic slow-down and deflationary forces initiated by the crisis. The role of the central bank has expanded enormously and 'unconventional mo

Sustainable development has become a major goal of development policies across the globe and environmental innovation is commonly viewed as a means to fulfil this goal because it can create growth while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Recent research in economic geography has provided evidence for a positive relationship between variety in local knowledgebases and innovativeness. Fol

Even though flying is the most unsustainable mode of transport due to its high contribution to global climate change (global warming), it is widely used and is predicted to increase considerably in the future. This goes against the global goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in order to reach the two-degree target set in the Paris Agreement. I am addressing this problem by looking into the
