Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur deltagandet i personalutbildning är fördelat över olika grupper av sysselsatta på den svenska arbetsmarknaden.

Denna kandidatuppsats fokuserar på den unika information som finns gömd i optionspriser. Med hjälp av marknads- och teoretiska priser på dessa kan den implicita riskneutrala sannolikhetsfördelningen geräknas, vilken antas vara den sannolikhetsfördelning som aktiepriser följer. Kännedom om denna fördelning torde alltså vara av stort intresse för marknadsaktörer. Uppsatsen ämnar utvärder hur pass användbar nämnda fördelning är i perioder som anses politiskt och ekonomiskt turbulenta, och främst syftas till att bedöma hur pass väl osäkerheten föregående vissa utvalda regeringval och folkomröstningar avspeglas io fördelningen. Den implicita riskneutrala sannolikhetsfördelningen karakteriseras förutom av varians även av de högre momenten skevhet och kurtosis.

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om huruvida en totalt skattefinansierad kollektivtrafik med nolltariff kan anses vara rättvis och effektiv. Organisationen Planka.nu:s argument för nolltariff i kollektivtrafiken analyseras med utgångspunkt i free ridning-problemet och individens betalningsvilja.

Kollektivtrafik beskrivs som en klubbvara med vissa positiva externa effekter samtidigt som varans substitut väntas generera negativa externa effekter. I uppsatsen antas den samhällsoptimala mängden kollektivtrafik vara högre än summan av alla individers individuella efterfråga p.g.a.
