Full textAbstract:
Trade Facilitation Indicators have become important mechanisms of monitoring the ease of trade. Another issue of rising concern is the pervasive debate on genetically engineered organisms and the development of Genetically Engineered Restrictive Index to evaluate its implications on trade. With regards to these, the objective of the United States Trade Representative is to eliminate implicit trade barriers. Hence, this study examines the impact of TFIs on U.S. agricultural export and its efficiency. From the results, a 1% increase in destination?s Genetically Engineered Restrictive Index leads to a US$ 9,426.82 and US$ 74,268.04 decline in corn and soybean exports while wheat experiences a US$ 26,204.05 increase. The ?I-State? paradox was also revealed from the efficiency rankings. This research recommends that GE labelling policies should be synchronized to match the requirements of the destination countries. Furthermore, information on GE foods must be transparent and disseminated to change destinations? negative perception.

Full textAbstract:
The “stage model” is a criticized but well-used segmentation method for categorizing firms into different export development stages based on their perceived export barriers. However increasing presence of born global firms and lagging exports, particularly in the Swedish tech industry, require an updated segmentation tool. Export intensity, export experience and psychic distance to foreign customers are identified as alternative indicators of a firm’s perceived export barriers. The extent to which these variables can predict perceived export barriers of firms is tested. Collected data from 30 Swedish SMEs consisting of both born globals and traditional exporters within the tech field suggest that none of the three variables is a sufficient indicator of perceived export barriers on its own. Instead, each variable explains different export barriers to different degrees. The results indicate that each SME chooses its unique path of export development, making it difficult to establish a standardized stage model for modern SMEs.

Full textAbstract:
Increased globalisation of trade has led a growing number of firms to search beyond their traditional domestic markets. As a result, export-led growth has gained focus, particularly amongst industrialising nations, or so-called efficiencydriven economies, in search of economic growth. Policy prescriptions have generally proposed a weakening of the exchange rate as a means to stimulate exports; whilst an exchange rate appreciation would be detrimental to exports and encourage imports. Past research on this topic has been mixed.This research examines the impact of exchange rate on export performance in a sample of nine efficiency-driven economies for the period from 1990 to 2009. These economies, with floating exchange rate arrangements, include Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey. Panel data models using a fixed-effects method have been applied in this research. The research finds that a weakening of the exchange rate does not necessarily improve export performance. To the contrary, export growth is associated with a stronger, relative exchange rate. The lag effect of exchange rate movement on export performance is slightly more pronounced, but remains statistically insignificant.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
At the present time, when enterprises have tendency for constant improvements, different tools are used to analyze current state of the business and to introduce organizational changes. Enterprise Modeling is one of these tools. Enterprise modeling can be used for different purposes: to restructure or standardize business processes, to develop business strategy, to capture best practices, etc. Evidently, enterprise models creation is resource-consuming job, since it requires variety of resources, for example labor, time and others. However, resources utilization is always aimed at result achievement, which originates the question of efficiency. There is a need to evaluate efficiency in the area of EM, which starts from defining a set of indicators to be checked. This work presents checklists of efficiency indicators for processes that EM can involve. For this purpose it identifies processes (so-called application areas of EMMs and enterprise models) that EM can involve. All of them are characterized with the help of two concepts: required resources and expected results. Formulated efficiency indicators can be used to analyze efficiency in the area of EM, particularly in application areas of EMMs and enterprise models.

George, Kelvin Michael. "Key Performance Indicators' Effects on Public Sector Infrastructure Project Efficiency in Grenada." ScholarWorks, 2019. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/7474.
Full textAbstract:
Grenada is 1 of 15 developing countries in Caribbean Community known as CARICOM. The infrastructure capital projects in these developing countries are plagued with an array of issues: unethical practices, inadequate supervision, lack of transparency and accountability, inadequate monitoring and evaluation, cost overruns, and inefficiencies. In the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monitory Fund and World Bank introduced a balanced scorecard engineered under the structural adjustment program, but it was unable to improve infrastructure project efficiencies. This qualitative case study sought to understand the role of management key performance indicators (KPIs) on public sector infrastructure capital project efficiency on the island of Grenada. An institutional assessment and development framework and a classical management theoretical framework methodology were used to explore the effects of management KPIs on public sector infrastructure capital projects efficiencies in developing countries. The research incorporated a constructivist philosophy that underpins the evaluation and perception of the government, the National Water and Sewerage Authority (NAWASA), project teams, systems, and stakeholders. A purposive sampling strategy with elements of snowballing was used to obtain 12 representative participants for interviews, and a systematic approach of transcribing, coding, and thematic analysis was done. Findings indicate inadequacies in the BSC performance measure system on infrastructure projects, which justifies the use of comprehensive management KPIs. Positive social change implications of this study include recommendations for comprehensive management KPIs and policies to improve public sector infrastructure project efficiency in Grenada.

Full textAbstract:
In this article we develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for resource efficiency
indicators with a consistent link of resource use to the socio-economic system and activities therein as
well as to the natural system and its ecosystem functioning. Three broad groups of indicators are
defined: (1) resource use indicators representing pressures on the environment; (2) resource efficiency
indicators relating resource use indicators to the socio-economic side; and (3) environmental impact
indicators linking resource use impacts on the state of the natural system. Based on this conceptual
framework we develop a structure for possible resource efficiency indicators and conduct a RACER
evaluation on the Relevance, Acceptance, Credibility, Easiness and Robustness of indicators. With
the RACER evaluation, we identify areas where indicators are well established and available as well
as areas where indicators still need further development or even need to be designed first.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the concept of sustainability in the context of the community expectation for sustainability in cities. Effective sustainability performance requires all three pillars of environmental sustainability (stewardship), social equity and economic efficiency to achieve complementary outcomes rather than simply individual outcomes. For cities, one challenge of sustainability is centred on urban form, transport characteristics and the interactions between these and the communities they support. Better understanding of these dynamics is an important step in a meaningful interpretation of sustainability performance of cities. Reviews of methodological gaps in sustainability performance of cities are framed into a statement of problem. Gaps include a holistic assessment framework, methodologies to better understand urban dynamics, the drivers that produce sustainability performance and to objectively measure the performance of all three pillars of sustainability. The common transport planning and land-use planning methods are identified as suitable building blocks for improvements in sustainability assessment, and accessibility is established as an important part of sustainability. In a new approach to sustainability analysis, a sustainability framework is formulated. A concept of "environmental sustainability - accessibility space" is introduced as a novel visualisation of sustainability performance. Propositions are formed that a city's sustainability performance can be analytically quantified and simply visualised in terms of the three pillars of sustainability. Sydney, a global city with a history of planning, is the case study to empirically test the propositions, with the sustainability framework providing the conceptual reference points. Having developed a picture of the urban dynamics in the Sydney case study, the proposed sustainability metrics are developed and the propositions tested. Sustainability metrics consisting of three typologies are shown to indicate the sustainability performance characteristics for the three pillars of sustainability in terms of data set shape, frequency and spread in the "environmental sustainability accessibility space". The visualisations although built from many thousands of pieces of data provided a simple representation giving a holistic view of the sustainability characteristics and trends. Collectively, the sustainability framework, sustainability metrics, companion urban dynamics metrics, and urban system measures are demonstrated as a meaningful methodology in assessing city sustainability performance.

O Objetivo dessa dissertação é propor um conjunto de indicadores e métricas para avaliar e mensurar a eficiência das subestações de um microgrid. No conceito institucional o qual a pesquisa se insere, considera-se que o esforço proporcionará a empresa em questão avaliar a eficiência e inteligência das suas subestações em seu microgrid. A pesquisa pode ser considerada aplicada, descritiva e metodológica. Quanto aos meios de investigação, foi usado o método de construção de indicadores para avaliação da eficiência energética aliada a dois métodos de apoio à decisão: AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) para definição dos pesos dos critérios classificatórios e a técnica TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) para hierarquização dos indicadores propostos por categoria dos requisitos de eficiência energética e inteligência, a partir dos graus atribuídos pelos especialistas. Destacam-se como resultados: a ferramenta de seleção e classificação de subestações e um conjunto consistente de indicadores de eficiência e inteligência. Como resultados, espera-se obter a melhoria da eficiência das subestações de um microgrid e poder acompanhar o processo de melhoria contínua.The aim of this study is to propose a set of indicators and metrics to evaluate and measure the efficiency and intelligence on microgrid electric substations. It was used a methodology to stablish indicators for evaluating the energy efficiency combined with two decision support methods: AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) for definition the importance of criteria selected, and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal of Solution) to classify the most efficiency and intelligent substation. As a result, it is expected to obtain the improvement of efficiency of power substations of a microgrid and follow the process of continuous improvement of their intelligence. Geller (2004) emphasizes the importance to adopt energy efficiency measures, through the use of alternative energy resources. The author states that the numbness in the current energy sources will result in irreparable harm to the environment, generating major climate change .It is necessary consider an innovative energy management model capable for meeting the challenges to meet the new standards of consumption, combining environmental, social and economic aspects . Smart Grids (SG) are able to incorporate information and communication technology in all aspects of generating electricity, allowing the entrance of new suppliers in the energy network, generating a better management of distribution and consumption, optimizing efficiency, minimizing costs, and diminishing environmental impacts. Currently, the SG is in development stage, with large spaces for research and development of enhancements and applications. Countries like USA, Japan and other European Community are planning to implement this novel grid till mid-2020 to 2030 Rivera (2013). In Brazil, this trend follows a different reality, due to economic crisis and regulatory aspects. In this country, most of smart grid projects are in development research and they are in slower progress status when compared to developed countries Rivera (2013). The implementation of a smart grid, with various alternatives of energy sources, provides better management and optimal use of each alternative. So, the necessity of managing the power distribution network more efficiently as possible increases Caneppele (2011). Microgrid is a concept widely disseminated in the literature. It can be defined as an intelligent electrical network applied in a smaller scale. As example we can cite: large commercial centers, a large industries; a large condominiums, a neighborhoods, etc. The aim of this article is to propose a set of indicators and metrics to evaluate and measure the efficiency and intelligence on microgrid electric substations. The methodology proposed will support mathematically the decision maker in the energy management of a huge television studio, which can be considered a microgrid. The research methodology followed a procedural structure analysis based on literature review focused on central themes of research: (i) substations (ii) energy efficiency (iii) microgrids (iv) multiple criteria decision methods (MCDM), trying to select the best methods to be considered in the context of energy efficiency of substations in microgrids. The model used in this work considered a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, putting together two methods widely used in literature: AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), and (TOPSIS Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal of Solution). AHP method was proposed by Saaty (2000). It is a multi-criteria support tool for decision making, which reveals the wide number of applications in current literature. Through peer comparisons, it is possible to perform the trials because the priorities calculated by the method will capture both the subjective measures, and the depth the particular criterion (or alternative) n relation to another. The second method used will be the TOPSIS. The technique is used to examine the performance of options by similarity to ideal solution. It was introduced by Hwang and Yoon Hwang (1981), in 1981, since then, it

"Growth in Environmental Footprints and Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade: Resource Efficiency Indicators from EXIOBASE3." Wiley, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jiec.12735.
Full textAbstract:
Most countries show a relative decoupling of economic growth from domestic resource use,
implying increased resource efficiency. However, international trade facilitates the exchange
of products between regions with disparate resource productivity. Hence, for an understanding
of resource efficiency from a consumption perspective that takes into account the
impacts in the upstream supply chains, there is a need to assess the environmental pressures
embodied in trade. We use EXIOBASE3, a new multiregional input-output database,
to examine the rate of increase in resource efficiency, and investigate the ways in which
international trade contributes to the displacement of pressures on the environment from
the consumption of a population. We look at the environmental pressures of energy use,
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, material use, water use, and land use. Material use stands
out as the only indicator growing in both absolute and relative terms to population and
gross domestic product (GDP), while land use is the only indicator showing absolute decoupling
from both references. Energy, GHG, and water use show relative decoupling. As
a percentage of total global environmental pressure, we calculate the net impact displaced
through trade rising from 23% to 32% for material use (1995¿2011), 23% to 26% for water
use, 20% to 29% for energy use, 20% to 26% for land use, and 19% to 24% for GHG
emissions. The results show a substantial disparity between trade-related impacts for Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries.
At the product group level, we observe the most rapid growth in environmental footprints
in clothing and footwear. The analysis points to implications for future policies aiming to
achieve environmental targets, while fully considering potential displacement effects through
international trade.

O enfoque das análises apresentadas neste estudo concentra-se na oferta e demanda da soja em seus três estados básicos, que possuem as características de padronização aceitas mundialmente na comercialização dessas commodities. São eles, a soja em grãos e os derivados gerados após o esmagamento, farelo de soja e óleo bruto. Existem atualmente três grandes produtores e exportadores de produtos do complexo soja, Estados Unidos, Brasil e Argentina, que concentram o fornecimento mundial dessa matéria-prima. Este estudo busca analisar os fatores que explicam o expressivo crescimento da produção, esmagamento e exportação brasileira observados nos últimos anos. O desempenho brasileiro é comparado ao de seus principais concorrentes através de indicadores de competitividade, tais como: custos, produtividade e capacidade de penetração no mercado externo, buscando identificar os elementos que indicam as vantagens e limitações do Brasil frente à Argentina e aos Estados Unidos. As análises indicam que a produção e exportação brasileira de soja, especialmente do produto em grãos, são competitivas, dado o alto grau de penetração no mercado externo, que absorve aproximadamente dois terços da produção nacional. A disponibilidade terras com clima e topografia favorável ao cultivo e o uso intensivo de tecnologia são os fatores competitivos mais evidentes.The focus of the analysis presented in this study focuses on the supply and demand of soybean in its three basic states, which have the characteristics of standardization accepted worldwide in the marketing of these commodities: they are the soybeans and derivatives generated after crushing, soybean meal and crude oil. There are currently three major producers and exporters of soy, United States, Brazil and Argentina, which concentrate the world's supply of this raw material. This study assesses the factors that explain the significant growth in production, crushing and Brazilian exports observed in recent years. The Brazilian performance is compared to its main competitors through competitiveness indicators such as cost, productivity and ability to penetrate foreign markets, seeking to identify the elements that indicate the advantages and limitations of Brazil against Argentina and the United States. The analyzes indicate that the production and export of Brazilian soybeans, especially in grain product, are competitive, given the high degree of penetration in foreign markets, which absorbs about two-thirds of national production. The availability of land with topography and climate favorable to the cultivation and extensive use of technology are the most obvious competitive factors.

The objective of this study was to examine the use of technical indicators, in an econometric context, as guides in making pricing decisions relative to feeder cattle production. Technical indicators were developed for both the short and long term. Short term indicators were designed to capture divergence/convergence between the Relative Strength Index and the futures price stream to form the Price Linked to Divergence index. A long term indicator using an average difference in price over a longer period was developed to form the Price Linked to Trend index. These indicators were used in the econometric models which in conjunction with cash production costs formed a hold/price/sell decision framework.
Analysis was conducted on fall-to-spring, spring-to-fall, and fall-to-fall production programs. Results for the three production programs in both the in and out-of-sample environments showed that on average a futures price in the top half of the futures price range was captured. This resulted in average improvement in returns through hedging for every program.Master of Science

El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado.Nowadays, organizations in the cotton knitwear industry have had to adapt to a client who is not willing to pay an additional cost for activities that do not add value to the product. In Peru, many companies that export cotton knitwear closes every year since they cannot compete with countries such as China and Hong Kong due to their high production costs. This paper introduces a production management model based on Lean Manufacturing techniques and standardization of operations to reduce waste in the production flow, thus improving quality, and reducing production time and costs. So, a Production and Continuous improvement model (PDCA) were implemented. The validation was performed in a representative Peruvian company that exports cotton knitwear, resulting in an efficiency improvement of 10%, reduction of defective products of 20%, and generating savings of almost 5,000 soles monthly.

Following preliminary tests to determine the subject's working capacity, each was assigned to ride either in the CAM or STD mode for 1 hour using a gear ratio that would require an effort equal to 70% of the VO₂ max. After a minimum of 72 hours between trials, subjects were retested in the converse mode. Measurements that included HR, BP, VO₂, surface EMG, and RPE were monitored at 15 minute intervals during both tests.
Responses were very similar across modes and between subjects. Although subjects demonstrated responses that may indicate an improved efficiency for a particular mode, the group did not display patterns that would indicate efficiency for the Powercam crank system.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
The European Union faces challenges related to climate change, security of energy supply, and competitiveness of European industries. Energy efficiency indicators are required for monitoring and controlling the effectiveness of policies such as the recently endorsed Energy Efficiency Directive. This thesis aims at assessing whether traditionally used energy efficiency indicators capture the development of energy efficiency in the iron and steel sector. The study is based on results from two statistical methods: a top-down, i.e. Malmquist productivity index, and a bottom-up, i.e. partial least squares regression. The specific energy consumption (the indicator representing the sector within the Odyssee energy efficiency index) was scrutinised together with associated indicators based on economic production using the aforementioned statistical methods. The results demonstrated the specific energy consumption does not capture the characteristics of the value chain of steel products. Therefore, it is not sufficient for capturing the energy efficiency of iron and steel industries. Previous studies suggest using indicators based on economic production (e.g. value added) since they represent the value chain to larger degree. However, the value creation process of companies belonging to larger international groups cannot be estimated reliably. Furthermore, the trends of both types of indicators tend to be highly influenced by structural changes, veiling the actual efficiency development. Energy use statistics published by international organisations were also compared for the Swedish case. The results demonstrated that international organisations use different methodologies for allocating energy use statistics between consumption and transformation sectors. The method has significant implications on the trends observed, if based on openly available statistics. This thesis complements previous research by reviewing implications of traditional energy efficiency indicators based on company data, national statistics or openly available statistics and contributes with insights essential for future efforts towards improving energy efficiency indicators for the steel industry.Den europeiska unionen står inför utmaningar relaterade till minskad klimatpåverkan, säkerställd energitillgång samt konkurrenskraften hos europeisk industri. Energieffektiviseringsindikatorer krävs för att övervaka och kontrollera effektiviteten hos energipolicy såsom det nyligen antagna energieffektiviseringsdirektivet. Den här avhandlingen syftar till att bedöma om traditionellt använda energieffektiviserings-indikatorer fångar järn- och stålsektorns utveckling inom energi-effektivitet. Studien är baserad på resultat från två statistiska metoder: en top-down-metod, Malmquists produktivitetsindex, och en bottom-up-metod, partiella minsta kvadratmetoden. Den specifika energikonsumtionen – indikatorn som representerar sektorn i Odyssees energieffektiviseringsindex – granskades tillsammans med andra energieffektivitetsindikatorer med hjälp av de ovan nämnda statistiska metoderna. Resultaten visade att specifik energikonsumtion inte fångar karaktären av stålprodukternas värdekedjor. Indikatorn är därför inte tillräcklig för att fånga energieffektivitet inom järn- och stål-industrier. Tidigare studier föreslår att använda indikatorer baserade på ekonomisk produktion (exempelvis förädlingsvärdet) då de representerar värdekedjan till högre grad. Förädlingsvärdet kan dock inte uppskattas tillförlitligt för företag som tillhör större internationella grupper. Trend-erna hos båda typerna av indikatorer tenderar dessutom att påverkas av strukturella förändringar, vilka döljer den riktiga effektivitetsutvecklingen. En jämförelse gjordes även av energianvändningsstatistik publicerad av olika internationella organisationer för det svenska fallet. Resultaten demonstrerade att internationella organisationer använder olika metoder för att allokera energianvändning mellan konsumtions- och omvandlings-sektorer i statistiken. Metoden påverkar observerade trender signifikant om de baseras på öppet tillgänglig statistik. Avhandlingen kompletterar tidigare forskning genom att belysa innebörden av traditionella energieffektiviseringsindikatorer baserade på företagsdata, nationell statistik eller öppet tillgänglig statistik samt bidrar med insikter som kommer att vara väsentliga för framtida satsningar i att förbättra energieffektiviseringsindikatorer för stålindustrin.

Full textAbstract:
Centralized data storage and reconciliation by trusted intermediaries has historically put financial systems in the hands of a single central parties. The emergence of bitcoin and blockchain, combined with the 2008 financial crisis, has shifted the Swedish financial sector’s traditional perspectives on democratization, centralization, transparency and automation. Trade and export finance is one of many sectors investigating how blockchain and distributed ledger technology can be used other than as a digital currency system. Swedish trade and export finance connects importers, exporters, banks, credit providers, customs, and transporters into a fragmented and complex process with many stakeholders. Sweden further has a history of quickly adopting technological innovations. Banks therefore face a dynamic environment and an inconsistent, manual operative process that removes profitability incentives in providing small enterprises with credit. The adoption of DLT could provide efficiency gains and cost savings in administration, communication, reconciliation and accounting. In this thesis, the costs, benefits, and remaining barriers of implementing distributed ledger technology in Swedish trade finance are identified. Further, Swedish contextual factors’ effect on the rate of adoption is addressed. The chosen methodology of deep interviews and thorough studying of literature provides an assessment of the potential transition dynamics, forming a foundation for future investment decisions. The conclusions drawn suggest that the main costs related to adoption lie in research and development and implementation. R&D costs for distributed ledgers in the Swedish financial sector during 2019 were approximated to USD 40 million. The main benefits of automation, efficiency and reduced level of complexity were concluded to likely outweigh the costs within approximately ten to twenty years. Experience will allow companies to optimize governance structures and consensus mechanisms, while learning to expose parts of networks into public space. The innovative, adaptive Swedish market environment presumably enables faster than average diffusion of innovation, while remaining barriers in cooperation, trust, interoperability and regulation may extend the adoption process

Full textAbstract:
Global industrialization was developed in response to both consumers and manufacturers demand for lower product prices and availability of goods and services. As a result, products are transported greater distances. Shipping constitutes the majority of costs in the export/import supply chain. Shippers and buyers commonly attempt to offset these costs by maximizing the capacity of ocean freight containers (cube or weight). Boxes (usually constructed of corrugated fiberboard) containing consumer grade products are commonly floor loaded into containers to maximize capacity. Boxes that are not floor loaded are likely to be unitized on pallets in containers. Beyond maximizing a container with cargo, a defined decision to determine which method of loading is most efficient in regard to cost and time does not exist. For this research, field studies were conducted and questionnaires were distributed to identify the variables that influence efficiency. A method to make an efficient decision was developed by incorporating the variables into a model. The model compares the overall export/import supply chain efficiency for boxes that are floor loaded to boxes that are unitized on pallets in containers. The recommended decision is determined by comparing the shipping and handling costs and the receiving dock door capability for the two loading methods.
The results of this research reveal that floor loading boxes can provide a higher value per container due to increased capacity. Increased capacity by floor loading often reduces the number of containers needed to meet daily demand. However, since manual labor is utilized for the loading/unloading process, more time is required, which results in higher labor costs and restricted product throughput. Unitized boxes loaded in containers on pallets can limit container capacity, but allows for faster loading/unloading times (if no incompatibilities between product and pallet or pallet and/or material handling equipment exist), reduced labor costs, and the potential for increased product throughput. Importing boxes unitized on pallets commonly requires more containers to meet demand, but fewer receiving dock doors. Utilizing fewer dock doors allows otherwise occupied doors to be available to receive additional product.
The decision to floor load or unitize exports/imports needs to be made on a SKU basis meeting daily demand, not only per container capacity. Labor cost, pallet cost, the magnitude of box variation between loading methods, and the ability of the receiver to process containers are all influencing factors in determining which loading method is most overall efficient. Given the current cost for containerized shipments and considering all costs, most consumer goods are more efficiently shipped floor loaded. When additional containers would be needed to meet demand for product unitized on pallets, floor loading will be more efficient. When there is only a small difference in box count between floor loading and palletizing, palletizing product will be more efficient. This will often occur when loads will meet container weight capacity before it reaches volume capacity. If the product is too heavy to move manually it will be palletized.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The iron and steel industry has become increasingly globalised. Market conditions are also changing and de-carbonisation of production is challenging. The objective of this thesis is to assess how energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reductions can be promoted and effectively monitored in the steel industry. The thesis contributes with analyses based on the Malmquist Productivity Index for a top-down analysis of the energy efficiency of EU Member States’ iron and steel production, and Partial Least Squares regression for bottom-up assessments of different monitoring tools. The thesis also contributes with a scrap availability assessment module to enhance the energy system model ETSAP-TIAM. The first phase of the research showed that future production needs to shift towards innovative low-CO2 technologies even when all available recycled material is fully used. Techniques using carbon capture and storage (CCS) as well as hydrogen-based technologies can be expected to become economically viable under tightened climate policies. The second phase of the research showed that current indicators are insufficient. System boundaries of energy use and emissions data do not align with production statistics. Indicators based on energy use or emissions in relation to production in physical terms may be useful to track specific processes. However, current indicators fail to reflect the companies’ product mix. Enhanced energy and climate indicators that adjust for the product mix provide better estimates while failing to reflect the increasing globalisation. Effective monitoring of industrial transformation will be increasingly important as pressure from climate policy via global CO2-pricing is unlikely in the short term. Current or enhanced indicators do not fully capture industrial transformation and are not recommended. Future research should focus on defining indicators to estimate energy use and emissions along industrial value chains in climate policy contexts.Järn- och stålindustrin har blivit alltmer globaliserad. Marknadsvillkoren förändras samtidigt som utfasningen av fossila bränslen är utmanande. Målet med den här avhandlingen är att bedöma hur energieffektivitet och växthusgasutsläppsminskningar kan främjas och effektivt utvärderas inom stålindustrin. Avhandlingen bidrar med analyser baserade Malmquists produktivitetsindex för att analysera energieffektivitet av EU:s medlemsstaters järn- och stålproduktion, och partiell minsta- kvadrat-regression för att bedöma olika utvärderingsmått. Avhandlingen bidrar även med en modul som bedömer skrottillgång för att förbättra energisystemmodellen ETSAP-TIAM. I en första fas visade forskningen att framtida produktion behöver ställas om mot innovativa teknologier med låga CO2-utsläpp även när allt tillgängligt återvunnet material används fullt ut. Tekniker som använder koldioxidinfångning och -lagring (CCS) samt vätebaserade teknologier kan förväntas bli ekonomiskt försvarbara under åtstramade klimatpolitiska styrmedel. I en andra fas visade forskningen att nuvarande indikatorer är otillräckliga. Systemgränser för energianvändnings- och växthusgasutsläppsdata stämmer inte överens med produktionsstatistik. Indikatorer utifrån energianvändning eller utsläpp i relation till fysisk produktion kan vara användbara för att följa upp specifika processer. Nuvarande indikatorer lyckas dock inte spegla företagens produktmix. Förbättrade energi- och klimatindikatorer som justerar för produktmixen ger bättre uppskattningar, men speglar inte branschens ökande globalisering. Effektiv utvärdering av industriell transformation blir alltmer viktig då påtryckning från klimatpolitiska styrmedel via global CO2-prissättning är kortsiktigt osannolik. Nuvarande eller förbättrade indikatorer fångar inte industriell transformation fullt ut och rekommenderas inte. Framtida forskning bör fokusera på att definiera indikatorer som uppskattar energianvändning och växthusgasutsläpp längs industriella värdekedjor.

Problem: What are the most useful techniques to indicate the stocks that will outperform the market 12 month post the recession period? Purpose: The purpose is to find out which method(s): P/B, EV/EBIT, level of debt and so on, will offer investors the highest returns on the investments post the recession period based on the example of the IT crisis of 2000/2001. Method: Quantitative study, covering the Swedish OMX Index from 2001 until December 2002. Conclusions: Three variables should be reconsidered when making an investment decision post the recession period. These variables were earlier 12 months returns, dividend yield and P/E ratios. However, it is crucial to understand that these three tools should not be viewed all together.

A cadeia produtiva do leite no Brasil se caracteriza pela carência na utilização de ferramentas de gestão e financeiras para o controle da atividade. Atualmente algumas linhas de pesquisa estão trazendo para o meio rural a utilização de indicadores de origem econômica e financeira para complementarem os já utilizados de origem técnica como indicadores de produtividade, escala de produção etc. Este trabalho objetivou correlacionar indicadores técnicos, econômicos e financeiros de propriedades produtoras de leite localizadas em Minas Gerais para buscar quais seriam os de eleição para acompanhamento e quais estariam mais relacionados à rentabilidade e retorno financeiro. Foram coletados dados mensais de 15 propriedades mineiras do período correspondido entre julho de 2012 e junho de 2013, além de visita e aplicação de questionário às mesmas. Os dados obtidos foram utilizados para o cálculo de índices técnicos, econômicos e financeiros e também para caracterização das propriedades. Sobre os indicadores foram aplicados os testes de Kruskal Wallis e Wilcoxon para comparar as médias entre as propriedades em relação aos três níveis de retorno sobre o Investimento da propriedade. Em seguida aplicou-se o teste de correlação de Spearman para cálculo dos indicadores de correlação de todas variáveis em relação aos indicadores de cunho econômico financeiro. Os indicadores econômicos e financeiros revelaram altos índices de correlação e diferenças entre médias entre si. Dos demais se destacaram, a relação de gasto com mão de obra /receita bruta e a perda com morte de animais. De acordo com os testes de correlação, a variável MARGEM DE EBITDA foi a que mais se correlacionou com os demais indicadores relacionados ao retorno financeiro da atividade e por isso foi a considerada a principal no controle financeiro das atividades produtivas.Milk production chain in Brazil is characterized by deficiency in the use of financial management and to control the activity tools. Nowadays some researches are bringing to the rural environment the using of indicators of economic and financial source to complement those already used from technical origin as indicators of productivity, production scale etc. This study aimed to correlate technical, economic and financial indicators of milk-producing farms located in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, to find what indicators would be elected to follow and which would be more related to profitability and financial returns. Monthly data of 15 properties from Minas Gerais was collected between July 2012 and June 2013, as well as visiting and apllying questionnaire to all of them. The data were used to calculate the technical, economical and financial ratios and also to characterize the properties. The indicators were compared using Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon tests to compare means between the properties on three levels of return on investment. Then the Spearman correlation test was applied to calculate the indicators correlation of all variables in relation to financial end economical indicators. The economic and financial indicators showed high levels of correlation and mean differences between each other. The others that stood out was the ratio of spending on labor/gross income and losts with animal death. According to the correlation tests, the variable MARGIN OF EBITDA was more correlated with other indicators related to the financial return of the activity and therefore was considered the main financial control to use on productive activities.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgicoO Brasil e particularmente o Estado do Cearà vem aumentando consideravelmente suas exportaÃÃes de plantas vivas e produtos de floriculrura e consequentemente vem participando efetivamente na criaÃÃo de divisas para o paÃs. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a competitividade das exportaÃÃes brasileiras e cearenses com respeito a outros exportadores nacionais. Assim, procurou-se identificar, qual o desempenho competitivo do Brasil e do Cearà no mercado internacional desse segmento. Para atingir esta proposta foram traÃados os seguintes objetivos: Verificar a competitividade das exportaÃÃes de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura do Cearà e do Brasil durante o perÃodo de 1998 a 2004; Identificar a existÃncia de polÃticas de incentivo à produÃÃo e comercializaÃÃo de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura; Identificar o nÃvel de competitividade da exportaÃÃo de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura do Cearà e do Brasil em relaÃÃo aos principais exportadores internacionais. A anÃlise foi pautada no conceito de competitividade compreendida como: Capacidade de uma empresa/paÃs permanecer no mercado atravÃs de uma posiÃÃo competitiva criada para um produto ou grupo de produtos, sendo essa, fruto de estratÃgias capazes de manter ou elevar eficientemente a posiÃÃo competitiva no comÃrcio internacional. A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na anÃlise tabular descritiva e no cÃlculo de indicadores de desempenho das exportaÃÃes: Vantagem Comparativa Revelada (VCR); Taxa de Cobertura (TC); Intensidade de ComÃrcio; Desempenho das ExportaÃÃes; PosiÃÃo Relativa das ExportaÃÃes e Constante Market Share (CMS). Os resultados demonstram que o Estado do Cearà ao longo do perÃodo analisado sà foi realmente competitivo no comÃrcio internacional de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura no ano de 2004, onde apresentou tanto VCR como TC superiores a unidade, indicando que nesse ano o Estado apresentou eficiÃncia comercial. Pelo modelo CMS, constatou-se que de acordo com as fontes de crescimento das exportaÃÃes o efeito competitividade foi o maior responsÃvel pelo aumento mÃdio das exportaÃÃes de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura do Cearà no perÃodo de 1998 a 2004. O Brasil, em todo o perÃodo, apresentou VCR e TC superior a unidade, indicando que o paÃs tem dinamismo comercial no segmento em anÃlise quando comparado aos outros paÃses exportadores. Pelo modelo CMS, constatou-se tambÃm que, de acordo com as fontes de crescimento das exportaÃÃes, o efeito competitividade foi o maior responsÃvel pelo aumento mÃdio das exportaÃÃes de plantas vivas e produtos de floricultura do PaÃs no perÃodo analisado. Os Ãndices revelaram que o Brasil foi competitivo no comÃrcio mundial no perÃodo deste estudo. Cearà nÃo foi competitivo nos anos de 1998 a 2003, entretanto em 2004, o Estado demonstrou està se tornando um potencial parceiro comÃrcial deste setor.
Brazil and particularly the state of Cearà have considerably increased the exports of live plants and flower-raising products and participated effectively in the opening of new boundaries to the country. Nevertheless, little is known about competitiveness in Brazilian and Cearà Exports, regarding other national exports. Thus, we have tried to identify what competitive performance Brazil and Cearà have in the international market of this segment. In order to accomplish this, the following objectives were drawn: To ascertain the exports competitiveness of live plants and flower-raising products from Cearà and Brazil from 1998 to 2004; to identify the existence of inducement policies for producing and commercializing live plants and flower-raising products; to identify the level of competitiveness of the exports of live plants and flower-raising products from Cearà and Brazil towards the main international exporters. The analysis was based in the concept of competitiveness as: The capacity of a country/corporation to remain in the market through a competitive position, created to a product or a group of products, which is the result of strategies which are able to maintain or elevate the competitive position in the international market. The methodology used was based in the descriptive tabular analysis and in the calculation of export development indicators: Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA); Covering Tax (CT); Commerce Intensity; Exports Performance; Relative Position of Exports and Constant Market Share (CMS). The results show that the state of CearÃ, during the time explored, was only competitive in the international commerce of live plants and flower-raising products in the year 2004, when it presented both RCA and CT, indicating that in this year the state presented commercial efficiency. Through the CMS model, we realized that according to the sources of export increase, the competitive effect was responsible for the average increase in the exports of live plants and flower-raising products in Cearà from 1998 to 2004. Brazil, through the whole period, presented superior RCA and CT, indicating that the country is commercially dynamic in the analyzed segment when compared to other countriesâ exports. Through the CMS model we found that according to the sources of export increase, the competitive effect was the major responsible for the average increase in the exports of live plants and flower-raising products during the analyzed period. The indexes revealed that Brazil was competitive in the world commerce during this study. Cearà wasnât competitive from 1998 to 2003, although in 2004, the state showed a great commercial power in this area.

"Consumption-based material flow indicators - Comparing six ways of calculating the Austrian raw material consumption providing six results." Elsevier, 2016. http://epub.wu.ac.at/6684/1/ECOLEC.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Understanding the environmental implications of consumption and production depends on appropriate monitoring tools. Material flow accounting (MFA) is a method to monitor natural resource use by countries and has been widely used in research and policy. However, the increasing globalization requires the consideration of "embodied" material use of traded products. The indicator raw material consumption (RMC) represents the material use - no matter where in the world it occurs - associated with domestic final demand. It provides a consumption-based perspective complementary to the MFA indicators that have a territorial focus. Several studies on RMC have been presented recently but with diverging results; hence, a better understanding of the underlying differences is needed. This article presents a comparison of Austrian RMC for the year 2007 calculated by six different approaches (3 multi-regional input-output (MRIO) and 3 hybrid life-cycle analysis-IO approaches). Five approaches result in an RMC higher than the domestic material consumption (DMC). One hybrid LCA-IO approach calculates RMC to be lower than DMC. For specific material categories, results diverge by 50% or more. Due to the policy relevance of the RMC and DMC indicators it is paramount that their robustness is enhanced, which needs both data and method harmonization.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this Master Thesis was to calculate and visualize performance indicators for the secondary treatment step in municipal wastewater treatment plants. Performance indicators are a valuable tool to communicate process conditions and energy efficiency to both management teams and operators of the plant. Performance indicators should be as few as possible, clearly defined, easily measurable, verifiable and easy to understand. Performance indicators have been calculated based on data from existing wastewater treatment plants and qualified estimates when insufficient data was available. These performance indicators were then evaluated and narrowed down to a few key indicators, related to process performance and energy usage. Performance indicators for the secondary treatment step were calculated for four municipal wastewater treatment plants operating three different process configurations of the activated-sludge technology; Sternö wastewater treatment plant (Sweden) using a conventional activated-sludge technology, Ronneby wastewater treatment plant (Sweden) using a ring-shaped activated-sludge technology called oxidation ditch, Headingley wastewater treatment plant (Canada) and Kimmswick wastewater treatment plant (USA), both of which use sequencing batch reactor (SBR) activated-sludge technology. Literature reviews, interviews and process data formed the basis of the Master Thesis. The secondary treatment was studied in all the wastewater treatment plants. Performance indicators were calculated, to the extent it was possible, for this step in the treatment process. The results showed that all the wastewater treatments plants, studied in this master thesis, were well below regulatory requirements of effluent concentrations of organic matter and nutrients. This gap between legislated requirements and performance provides an opportunity for improving energy efficiency and maintaining discharge requirements. The removal of organic matter was consistently high at all wastewater treatment plants studied but the removal of nitrogen was slightly lower during the colder months. The results further showed that the discharge of nitrogen from wastewater treatment plants is the largest stress on the recipient. Data regarding the energy usage was almost nonexistent and energy for aeration was therefore calculated when possible since it is aeration that accounts for the largest fraction of energy usage in a wastewater treatment plant. Sternö wastewater-treatment plant proved to be more energy efficient than Rustorp wastewater treatment plant.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo principal a avaliação do desempenho dos sistemas de gestão de qualidade, saúde ocupacional, segurança e meio ambiente de uma empresa. Utiliza-se, para tal fim, o método de estudo de caso, levando em consideração a aplicação do conceito de eco-eficiência e seus benefícios econômicos e ambientais pelos sistemas de gestão da qualidade e meio ambiente da empresa, e tendo como base o conceito de produção mais limpa. Como objetivo secundário está à análise da coerência e a da eficiência dos indicadores empregados, seu inter-relacionamento e sua complementaridade. Entre os principais resultados obtidos, destaca-se a identificação das vantagens na aplicação de indicadores operacionais com uma abordagem individualizada de entradas e saídas nas operações que compõem o processo de uma empresa. O emprego desses indicadores, aliado à identificação de indicadores de custos de resíduos, pode facilitar a definição de objetivos e metas para a não geração e minimização de resíduos baseados em critérios econômicos, técnicos e de impactos ambientais. Como resultado global da avaliação pode-se comentar que o programa de gestão da qualidade implantado na empresa atende aos princípios da serie de normas da qualidade NBR ISO 9000:2000, ainda que entendamos que outras medidas são necessárias para a manutenção integral do meio ambiente.This thesis aims to evaluate quality, occupational health, safety and environment systems of a company. In order to do so, it employs the study case method, taking into consideration the application of the concept of eco-efficiency, its economical and environmental benefits by the company’s environment management systems. This work is based on the concept of cleaner production for the identification of the relationship between some quality indicators and the environment management systems as a secondary aim. Among the main results obtained, is the identification of the advantages in the application of operational indicators with an individual approach of inputs and outputs in the operations that composes the process according to what establishes the NBR ISO 14031:2004. The application of these indicators allied to the identification of waste cost indicators can facilitate the definition of objectives and targets for a non-generation and minimization of waste based on economic, technical and environmental impact criteria. As a global result of the evaluation, we observed that the quality management program implanted in the company, which served as object of study, complies with the principles of the quality Norm NBR ISO 9000:2000, but some improvements are still needed for the full maintenance of environment.

В умовах переходу до ринкової економіки головну роль в системі економічних показників грає прибуток.
Прибуток являє собою кінцевий фінансовий результат, що характеризує виробничо-господарську діяльність всього підприємства, тобто становить основу економічного розвитку підприємства. Зростання прибутку створює фінансову основу для самофінансування діяльності підприємства, здійснюючи розширене відтворення. За рахунок неї виконується частина зобов'язань перед бюджетом, банками та іншими підприємствами. Таким чином, прибуток стає найважливішою для оцінки виробничої та фінансової діяльності підприємства. Вона характеризує кошторису його ділової активності і фінансове благополуччя.
Прибуток являє собою виражений у грошовій формі чистий дохід від підприємницької діяльності, що отримується як різниця між сукупними доходами і сукупними витратами підприємства. Прибуток або збиток підприємства - головний показник, що відображає фінансовий результат.

Forti, Vanessa. "A new value based resource efficiency indicator to measure the progress of Circular Economy, from concepts to practise." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2017.
Find full textAbstract:
In the last decade, the Circular Economy (CE) is receiving increasing attention worldwide as a way to overcome the inefficient “take-make-dispose” economic model. Increasing resource efficiency is essential to sustain socio-economic progress and to reduce the environmental consequences of the high level of resource consumption.
Decision makers seek to promote resource efficiency throughout appropriate indicators. However, most of the methodologies developed so far, fail to reflect socio-economic goals and do not take into account the quality of resources.
This master thesis provides a new Value based Resource Efficiency indicator (VRE) to assess the performance of industrial sectors or countries in terms of resource use and to measure their level of circularity. The ultimate goal of the VRE indicator is to use the monetary value of resources rather than mass, since the market value incorporates both the information of quality and quantity of goods. In addition, it reflects the elements of scarcity and competition. This work provides a methodology and calculation procedures to compute the VRE indicator for 28 European countries and other 15 countries in the World, and for 62 industrial sectors within those countries. Results are calculated for a time series of 14 years (from 2000 to 2014). This work also provides comparisons of the input structures of the same industrial sectors in diverse countries that gives useful insights about the resources used to produce a final output. This allows comparison among countries, and they may inspire political decisions.
The main findings are that VRE is a useful tool to measure the progress of Circular Economy on a macro-level; is a simple, robust, reliable and intuitive indicator and it responds automatically to the location and time for which it is calculated.
Further research could be focused either on the extension of this approach considering different data sources and on the validation of this proposal in a case study.

El principal objetivo de la presente tesis radica en la comparación de diferentes metodologías para comparar el nivel de desarrollo de los sistemas regionales de innovación. Una de las principales aportaciones es determinar por un lado el grado de robustez que las metodologías de evaluación de la capacidad innovadora ofrecen en la esfera regional. Tras haber observado las principales características así como las debilidades de dichos métodos, se pretende analizar las posibilidades que ofrece el análisis de eficiencia como método complementario en el estudio de la capacidad innovadora. El por qué de la utilización del concepto de eficiencia como propuesta alternativa a las existentes en la bibliografía radica en que las metodologías existentes están principalmente basadas en el concepto de cuanto más mejor , ya que su principal fundamento está en la cantidad de recursos utilizados, pero no en la forma en la que son empleados. En este sentido, creemos que la otra gran aportación de la tesis consistirá en mostrar la necesidad de incorporar criterios de eficiencia a las metodologías de evaluación (o benchmarking regional) de la capacidad innovadora.
La metodología de actuación está constituida por tres principales líneas de actuación que se han definido como prioritarias para la consecución de los objetivos planteados con anterioridad:
1.- Comparar metodologías orientadas hacia la determinación de la capacidad innovadora regional en las comunidades autónomas españolas.

Licentiate thesis, Högskolan i Gävle, Energisystem och byggnadsteknik, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-35507.
Full textAbstract:
About 12% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of the total energy use in the EU derive from the buildings. User behavior, construction, and HVAC systems has a significant impact on a building’s energy use. If a building is to be energy-efficient it is important to understand how all these parameters are connected. This study is motivated by the need to decrease the energy use in buildings to reach the goals of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. In this thesis, measurements of indoor climate and electricity use, together with time diaries was used to create input data for an energy simulation model of a retirement home. A parametric study was conducted to simulate how energy demand was affected by changes in five different parameters in an office building. Also, two different energy-efficiency indicators were used to see how indicators can affect the perceived energy-efficiency of buildings. High amount of airing and low electricity use had the most impact on the heating demand in the retirement home, and electricity use had the highest impact on the total energy demand in the office building. The model of the retirement home using data gathered on-site had 24% higher energy use than the model using standard user input data. In the office building, total energy demand for heating and cooling could be lowered with 12-31% by lowering the electricity use with 30% compared to standard user input data. For office buildings the most important thing to lower total energy demand seems to be lowering the electricity use. Using today’s standard user input data does not correspond well to using on-site gathered data in a retirement home and it is therefore important to develop the standard user input data further. The indicator kWh/m2, seems to promote buildings with low occupancy. This could lead to buildings being utilized in an in-efficient way. The indicator kWh/m2 should either be replaced or combined with an indicator that takes occupancy into consideration.Runt 12% av utsläppen av växthusgaser och 40% av den totala energianvändningen i EU kommer från byggnader. Brukarbeteende, konstruktion och HVAC-system har signifikant påverkan på en byggnads energianvändning. Om en byggnad ska bli så energieffektiv som möjligt är det viktigt att förstå hur dessa parametrar hör ihop. Denna studie motiveras av behovet att minska energianvändning i byggnader för att nå målen för energianvändning och utsläpp av växthusgaser. I denna avhandling användes mätningar av inomhusklimat och elanvändning, tillsammans med tidsdagböcker, för att skapa indata till en energisimuleringsmodell av ett ålderdomshem. En parameterstudie genomfördes för att simulera hur energibehovet påverkades av ändringar i fem olika parametrar i en kontorsbyggnad. Två olika indikatorer för energieffektivitet användes också, för att se hur olika indikatorer påverkar hur en byggnads energieffektivitet uppfattas. Hög grad av vädring och låg elanvändning hade störst påverkan av energibehovet i ålderdomshemmet, och i kontorsbyggnaden påverkades det totala energibehovet mest av elanvändningen. Modellen av ålderdomshemmet där data insamlad på plats användes hade 24% högre värmebehov än modellen som använde standardiserade brukarindata. Det totala energibehovet för värme och kyla i kontorsbyggnaden kunde sänkas med 12-31% genom att sänka elanvändningen med 30% jämfört med standardiserad brukarindata. Det viktigaste för att få ner det totala energibehovet i kontorsbyggnader verkar vara att sänka elanvändningen. Att använda dagens standardvärden för brukarindata överensstämmer inte väl med att använda data insamlad på plats för ett ålderdomshem. Det är därför viktigt att vidareutveckla standardiserad brukarindata. Indikatorn kWh/m2 verkar främja byggnader med låg beläggning. Detta skulle kunna leda till att byggnader utnyttjas på ett ineffektivt sätt. Indikatorn kWh/m2 skulle därför behöva ersättas eller kombineras med en indikator som även tar byggnadens beläggning i beaktande.

This thesis uses an efficiency analysis of agricultural systems to assert that, in lieu of rising prices of fossil fuel, people need to come into more direct contact with their food systems. With a switch to smaller, more efficient farms that rely less on fossil fuel and are connected with the communities they supply for, we can avoid an energy crisis turning into a famine. These smaller-scale systems can help create self-contained, carbon-neutral communities.

Syfte: Studien undersöker om det finns ett samband mellan ekonomiska indikatorer och den årliga aktieavkastningen ett år framåt på den svenska marknaden för företag som genomfört nyemission och jämförs med en benchmark som består av företag som inte genomfört nyemission. Metod: Uppsatsen utgår från en kvantitativ undersökning där multipel regressionsanalys används för att undersöka sambandet mellan indikatorer och aktieavkastningen vid nyemissioner under tidsperioden 2002 – 2010. Slutsats: Utifrån resultaten kunde vissa signifikanta samband konstateras mellan indikatorerna och totalavkastningen för nyemissionsgruppen. Det visade att totalavkastningen sjunker det året företag genomför nyemission jämfört med totalavkastningen året innan nyemissionen. Det kunde konstateras att marknaden är ineffektiv till en viss utsträckning i samband med nyemissioner. För benchmark kunde resultaten dock inte säkerställas på grund av att statistisk felkälla förekom i regressionsmodellen.Purpose: The study examines if there is any significant relationship between predictors and the one year ahead stock returns in the Swedish market for company that have issued new equity and it is compared to a benchmark consisting of companies that have not made any new equity issues. Method: The essay is based on a quantitative study where a multiple regression analysis is used to examine the relationship between predictors and stock returns for company that have issued new equity during a time period of 2002 – 2010. Conclusion: Based on the results significant relationship between some predictors and stock returns could be found for the new equity issue group of company. It showed that stock returns decline the same year companies issue new equity compared to the year before new equity is issued. It was noted that the market is inefficient to a certain extent in the new equity issues matter. As for the benchmark the results could not be ensured and interpreted due to statistical errors occurring in the regression model.

The purpose of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of structural funds of the European Union in water protection in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the research is whether public resources are used cost-effectively and whether they are not being wasted. The theoretical basis of the subsidy's issue as a tool of public policy, are discussed in the first part of the thesis. As a consequence the effectiveness and efficiency of subsidies as a main tool of European Regional Policy are also discussed. General conclusions are demonstrated on specific statistical water protection data of the Czech Republic in the second part of this thesis. Several patterns which show problems decreasing efficiency and effectiveness of expended resources were used in the research. Analysis showed that investments into water protection are necessary and needed from social point of view, but the way the subsidies are provided is controversial. Finally, the thesis attempts to discuss alternative tools which could gain the same results with lower costs.
