Master's thesis in Clinical health sciences (ME520) Background: There is little knowledge about the quality of life in young children. To prevent low quality of life later in life and being able to work evidence-based and early interventions, it is necessary to have an overview of health-related quality of life as early as possible.

The Relationship between Public Value and Change : Case Study on Public Value Creation in Relation to the Regional Government, Health and Social Serv…
2019
Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 A break first from Traditional Public Administration (TPA) and later New Public Management (NPM) has gradually offered new angles to the governance. For instance, Moorecreated an analogue to the private value creation,and as a result, the ideology of public value creation has emerged worldwide.Since then, scholars have developed a conceptual understanding of public value. Compared to the NPM public value management embraces post-competitive achievements and broader governmental goals. Yet, the empirical research on public value management, especially in the Finnish context, is rather unknown.This st…
Effects of Fiscal Stimulus in Structural Models
2010
The paper assesses, using seven structural models used heavily by policymaking institutions, the effectiveness of temporary fiscal stimulus. Models can, more easily than empirical studies, account for differences between fiscal instruments, for differences between structural characteristics of the economy, and for monetary-fiscal policy interactions. Findings are: (i) There is substantial agreement across models on the sizes of fiscal multipliers. (ii) The sizes of spending and targeted transfers multipliers are large. (iii) Fiscal policy is most effective if it has some persistence and if monetary policy accommodates it. (iv) The perception of permanent fiscal stimulus leads to significant…

Organisational responses to regulatory pressure: A case study of a Norwegian Research University’s strategic compliance to GDPR
2020
Master's thesis in Innovative governance and public management (ME523) This thesis study seeks to test Oliver’s (1991) theory for prediction of Strategic Responses to Institutional Processes, against the case of initial responses taken by a Norwegian research university when faced with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of European Union (EU).This thesis explores how different parts of the same organisation respond to and manage institutional pressure. It uses a case study of a Norwegian research university’s response to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). An exploratory case study design frame was used to address the research question, and qualitative dat…
Diskursanalyse av Meld. St. 6 (2012-2013) og Meld. St. 30 (2015-2016) : En kvalitativ studie av diskursen om integrering i stortingsmeldinger, og hvo…
2017
Masteroppgave Sosiologi og sosialt arbeid ME522 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Dette masterprosjektet har som mål å utforske og sammenligne diskursen om integrering av innvandrere med fluktbakgrunn i Meld. St. 6 (2012-2013) og Meld. St. 30 (2015-2016), og hvordan dette kan forstås i et maktperspektiv. I tillegg ønsker jeg å sette dette i en historisk kontekst. Jeg inndrar derfor også tidligere forskning på fem stortingsmeldinger om integrering fra 1974 til 2004. Dette kan også anses som en form for datamateriale, da jeg også legger et analytisk blikk på disse. Det er foreløpig ikke forsket på Meld. St. 6 (2012-2013) og Meld. St. 30 (2015-2016) med integrering som fokus. Jeg synes det er aktue…
Monetary policy and the exchange rate during the Asian crisis: identification through heteroscedasticity
2005
Abstract This paper examines whether a monetary policy tightening (i.e., an increase in the domestic interest rate) was successful in defending the exchange rate from speculative pressures during the Asian financial crisis. We estimate a bivariate VECM for four Asian countries, and improve upon existing studies in two important ways. First, by using a long data span we are able to compare the effects of an interest rate rise on the nominal exchange rate during tranquil and turbulent periods. Second, we take into account the endogeneity of interest rates and identify the system by exploiting the heteroscedasticity properties of the relevant time series, following Rigobon [Identification thro…
Homogeneous actions on the random graph
2018
We show that any free product of two countable groups, one of them being infinite, admits a faithful and homogeneous action on the Random Graph. We also show that a large class of HNN extensions or free products, amalgamated over a finite group, admit such an action and we extend our results to groups acting on trees. Finally, we show the ubiquity of finitely generated free dense subgroups of the automorphism group of the Random Graph whose action on it have all orbits infinite.
