Bridging the Knowledge Gap for New Market Entrants in the Swedish Electric Power System : Market development modeling for the FCR-D Up balancing market / Att överbygga kunskapsgapet för nya markandsaktörer i det svenska elkraftsystemet

Lindroos, Lukas, Odenlind, David January 2023 (has links)
The need for ancillary services is on the rise due to the increasing share of weather-dependent power sources in the electric power system. This master thesis focuses on the Swedish FCR-D Up market. It is a national balancing market for transmission system operator’s procurement of the ancillary service called FCR-D Up, that is the up-regulating frequency containment reserve in case of system disturbances. The FCR-D Up market is undergoing significant changes to adapt to the changing electric power system, which may affect the current market dominance of hydropower suppliers due to the emergence of new suppliers and regulatory changes by the Swedish transmission system operator. This master thesis establishes a conceptual qualitative market development system model for price formation on the FCR-D Up market. The research question addressed is: "What FCR-D Up market developments and regulatory market changes on the supply and demand side respectively are expected in Sweden in the upcoming years, 2024-2026, and how will they affect the market prices?" The research was based on the theoretical concepts of system modeling and price formation, using Soft Systems Methodology. Data was collected from various sources and analysed using CATWOE analysis, Casual Loop Diagram, as well as supply and demand curve model theory. It was concluded that price-influencing market development and regulatory changes are focused on the supply side of the market. These include the market entry of new suppliers, transition to marginal pricing, new technical requirements for market participation and increasing value stacking opportunities for FCR-D Up suppliers on Nord Pool’s electricity markets and the other balancing markets. / Behovet av stödtjänster ökar på grund av den ökande andelen väderberoende kraftkällor i elkraftsystemet. Denna masteruppsats fokuserar på den svenska FCR-D Upp-marknaden. Det är en nationell balansmarknad för transmissionsnätsoperatörens upphandling av den stödtjänst som kallas FCR-D Upp, som är den uppreglerande frekvenskontrollreserven vid störningar i systemet. FCR-D Uppmarknaden genomgår betydande förändringar för att anpassas till det föränderliga elkraftsystemet, vilket kan påverka den nuvarande marknadsdominansen av vattenkraftsleverantörer på grund av tillkomst av nya leverantörer och regulativa marknadsförändringar av transmissionsnätsoperatören. Denna masteruppsats etablerar en konceptuell kvalitativ systemmodell för marknadsutveckling avseende prisbildning på FCR-D Upp-marknaden. Forskningsfrågan är: "Vilken utveckling av FCR-D Upp-marknaden och vilka regulatoriska marknadsförändringar på utbuds- respektive efterfrågesidan förväntas i Sverige under de kommande åren, 2024-2026, och hur kommer de att påverka marknadspriset?". Arbetet baserades på teoretiska koncept kring systemmodellering och prisbildning, med fokus på Soft Systems Methodology. Data samlades in från olika källor och analyserades med hjälp av CATWOE-analys, Casual Loop Diagram samt modellteori för utbuds- och efterfrågekurvor. Slutsatsen var att prisinfluerande marknadsutvecklingar och regulatoriska marknadsförändringar är inriktade på marknadens utbudssida. Det handlar bland annat om nya leverantörers inträde på marknaden, övergången till marginalprissättning, nya tekniska krav för marknadsdeltagande och ökande möjligheter till värdestapling för FCR-D Upp leverantörerpå Nord Pools elmarknader och de andra balansmarknaderna.

The Creation of an Influencer Marketing Strategy to Favour Growth / Skapandet av en influencer marketing strategi som gynnar tillväxt

Bogg, Madeleine, Edberg, Amanda January 2022 (has links)
Today many companies are using influencers in the marketing strategy. However, there is an expressed need for more research on the topic influencer marketing and on how the marketing strategy should be formed in order to match and facilitate the growth of a company. Therefore, this thesis aims to fill these gaps in literature by forming an influencer marketing strategy in a growth perspective. The goal is to manage the risks with influencer marketing and contribute to the literature with more research in the topics growth and influencer marketing by answering the research questions: How can influencer marketing affect the growth of a company? And How can an influencer marketing strategy be formed to favour growth and manage the risks with influencer marketing? In order to answer the research questions both qualitative data from seven interviews with experts on the topic influencer marketing and quantitative data from a survey regarding the usage of social media. This thesis indicates that influencer marketing can promote growth but needs to be adapted according to which growth strategy the company chooses. The benefits of influencer marketing are intangible, while the risks can be handled through working more strategically and stepping away from the more common trial and error approach. The findings from this thesis are relevant for companies that operate in the demanding business landscape of today, striving for growth through various growth strategies and are invested in influencer marketing. Furthermore, the findings are relevant for anyone interested in how risks with influencer marketing can be managed and how the strategy can favour firm growth. / Idag använder många företag influencers i sin marknadsföringsstrategi. Det finns ett behov av mer forskning inom influencer marketing men också i hur en marknadsföringsstrategi ska utformas för att gynna tillväxt inom ett företag. Den här masteruppsatsen strävar därför efter att fylla gapet i litteraturen genom att forma en influencer marketing-strategi som gynnar tillväxt. Målet med uppsatsen är formulera en strategi i syfte att minska riskerna med användandet av influencer marketing och bidra till litteraturen inom influencer marketing och företagstillväxt genom att besvara de två forskningsfrågorna: Hur kan influencer marketing påverka ett företags tillväxt? samt Hur kan en influencer marketing-strategi utformas för att gynna tillväxt i ett företag och minska riskerna med användandet av influencer marketing? För att besvara dessa två frågor har både kvalitativa data i form av sju intervjuer med experter inom influencer marketing och kvantitativa data från en undersökning om användandet av sociala medier genomförts. Resultaten visar att influencer marketing kan gynna tillväxt i ett företag, men måste anpassas till vilken tillväxtstrategi företaget väljer. Influencer marketing bidrar med immateriella tillgångar som är svåra att replikera medan riskerna kopplade till influencer marketing kan hanteras genom att jobba mer strategiskt och som bygger mindre på “trial and error”. Resultaten är värdefulla för företag som verkar i dagens krävande affärslandskap, strävar efter tillväxt och har investerat i influencer marketing. Resultaten är dessutom värdefulla för alla som är intresserade av hur riskerna med influencer marketing kan hanteras och hur den kan kopplas till företags tillväxtstrategier.

Financial development and economic growth : new evidence from six countries

Nyasha, Sheilla 10 1900 (has links)
Using 1980 - 2012 annual data, the study empirically investigates the dynamic relationship between financial development and economic growth in three developing countries (South Africa, Brazil and Kenya) and three developed countries (United States of America, United Kingdom and Australia). The study was motivated by the current debate regarding the role of financial development in the economic growth process, and their causal relationship. The debate centres on whether financial development impacts positively or negatively on economic growth and whether it Granger-causes economic growth or vice versa. To this end, two models have been used. In Model 1 the impact of bank- and market-based financial development on economic growth is examined, while in Model 2 it is the causality between the two that is explored. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration and error-correction based causality test, the results were found to differ from country to country and over time. These results were also found to be sensitive to the financial development proxy used. Based on Model 1, the study found that the impact of bank-based financial development on economic growth is positive in South Africa and the USA, but negative in the U.K – and neither positive nor negative in Kenya. Elsewhere the results were inconclusive. Market-based financial development was found to impact positively in Kenya, USA and the UK but not in the remaining countries. Based on Model 2, the study found that bank-based financial development Granger-causes economic growth in the UK, while in Brazil they Granger-cause each other. However, in South Africa, Kenya and USA no causal relationship was found. In Australia the results were inconclusive. The study also found that in the short run, market-based financial development Granger-causes economic growth in the USA but that in South Africa and Brazil, the reverse applies. On the other hand bidirectional causality was found to prevail in Kenya in the same period. / Economics / DCOM (Economics)

The financial development and investment nexus : empirical evidence from three Southern African countries

Muyambiri, Brian 02 1900 (has links)
The study examines the dynamic relationship between financial development and investment in three Southern African countries (Botswana, South Africa and Mauritius) during the period 1976 – 2014 using annual data. The motivation for selecting these countries is mainly based on their different characteristics in their economic and financial structure. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test approach, the study examines the role of financial development in boosting investment; and the causal relationship between financial development and investment. The study makes use of composite financial development indices and divides financial development into bank-based and market-based financial development. In addition, both the impact of bank- and market-based financial development on investment, on the one hand; and the causality between bank- and market-based financial development and investment, on the other, were examined within the flexible accelerator model/framework. For both models, both bank-based and market-based financial development are assumed as having an accelerator-enhancing effect on investment. Empirical results show that, for Botswana, the impact of bank-based financial development on investment is positive in both the short run and the long run while no impact of market-based financial development is found for both periods. For South Africa, the effect of bank-based financial development on investment is found to be negative in the short run and has no impact in the long run. However, market-based financial development has only a positive effect on investment in the long run. For Mauritius, market-based financial development is the only type of financial development found to have a significant positive effect on investment, and only, in the short run. The results of the causality test show that: for Mauritius, both bank-based and market-based financial development tend to drive investment, both in the short run and in the long run; while- in South Africa, investment drives both bank-based and market-based financial development only in the short run. In Botswana, bank-based and market-based financial development and investment drive each other in the short run while investment tends to only drive bank-based financial development in the long run. Therefore, all three countries show differing results and tend to confirm that there are inter-country differences that determine the relationship between investment and financial development. The inter-country differences maybe as a result of the different stages of financial and economic development for each country. / Economics / D. Phil. (Economics)

Banking sector, stock market development and economic growth in Zimbabwe : a multivariate causality framework

Dzikiti, Weston 02 1900 (has links)
The thesis examined the comprehensive causal relationship between the banking sector, stock market development and economic growth in a multi-variate framework using Zimbabwean time series data from 1988 to 2015. Three banking sector development proxies (total financial sector credit, banking credit to private sector and broad money M3) and three stock market development proxies (stock market capitalization, value traded and turnover ratio) were employed to estimate both long and short run relationships between banking sector, stock market and economic growth in Zimbabwe. The study employs the vector error correction model (VECM) as the main estimation technique and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach as a robustness testing technique. Results showed that in Zimbabwe a significant causal relationship from banking sector and stock market development to economic growth exists in the long run without any feedback effects. In the short run, however, a negative yet statistically significant causal relationship runs from economic growth to banking sector and stock market development in Zimbabwe. The study further concludes that there is a unidirectional causal relationship running from stock market development to banking sector development in Zimbabwe in both short and long run periods. Nonetheless this relationship between banking sector and stock markets has been found to be more significant in the short run than in the long run. The thesis adopts the complementary view and recommends for the spontaneity implementation of monetary policies as the economy grows. Monetary authorities should thus formulate policies to promote both banks and stock markets with corresponding growth in Zimbabwe’s economy. / Business Management / M. Com. (Business Management)

Determinants of financial market development : the role of institutions

Madheu, Violet 10 1900 (has links)
This study aims to determine the main drivers of financial market development, with a specific interest in the relationship between the stock and bank credit markets, as proxies of financial market development, and the role of institutional quality, in ten African countries for the period of 2009 to 2017. A number of econometric techniques such as the General Methods of Moments (GMM) model for dynamic panel data, autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) bound testing approach to cointegration, vector error correction model (VECM), and granger causality tests were applied in the study. We further developed a composite index for both financial market development and institutional quality using Principal Components Analysis (PCA). The results demonstrate that institutional quality, as well as infrastructure development, economic growth, and inflation are the main determinants of financial market development in our sample of ten African countries. Findings from the ARDL bound testing approach confirm the existence of a long-run association between institutional quality and financial market development. Although financial market development has no effect on economic growth, institutional quality was found to have a positive and highly significant effect on economic growth. Furthermore, employing the Granger causality test, we found uni-directional granger causality between financial market development and institutional quality, implying that financial market development is a significant causal factor for institutional quality. In consideration of these findings, policy formulation by governments should be designed towards enhancing financial and institutional quality development, and this can be possibly achieved by effective enforcement of law to encourage compliance, while simultaneously eliminating corruption and other institutional hindrances to development / Lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuveza izinhlaka ezingabaphembeleli abasemqoka ekuthuthukisweni kwezimakethe zezimali, kugxilwe kakhulu kubudlelwano obuphakathi kwesitoko kanye nezimakethe zamabhangi ahlinzekana ngezikweletu, njengabancedisi abathuthukisa izimakethe zezimali, kanye nendima emayelana nezinga leziko, emazweni ase-Afrika ayishumi esikhathini esiphakathi kuka 2009 ukufikela ku 2017.

Financial reporting practices in Ethiopia / Finansiele verslagdoeningspraktyke in Ethiopië / Tiragatso ya tlhagiso ya dipegelo kwa Ethiopia

Tewodros Gobena Yirorsha 08 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English, Afrikaans and Southern Sotho / The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption in Ethiopia. To this effect, the study focused on examining the key factors that would influence IFRS adoption in the context of Ethiopia, namely economic growth, economic openness, capital market development, level of accounting education as well as legal systems and government policies. The study used a mixed-method approach, which involved a survey and content analysis. While the survey was the primary research approach in this study, the secondary data analysis was used to obtain additional evidence to corroborate the information gathered through the survey. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse and interpret the data. The study results show that the aforementioned factors examined were not conducive to adopting IFRS, and thus IFRS was not regarded as suitable in Ethiopia at the time of this study. The study also revealed an absence of a single set of accounting standards in Ethiopia. / Die doel van hierdie studie was om die geskiktheid van Internasionale Finansiële Verslagdoeningstandaarde-aanneming (IFRS-aanneming) in Ethiopië te assesseer. Die studie het derhalwe daarop gefokus om die sleutelfaktore te ondersoek wat die IFRS-aanneming in die konteks van Ethiopië sal beïnvloed, naamlik ekonomiese groei, ekonomiese oopheid, kapitaalmarkontwikkeling, vlak van rekeningkundeopvoeding, asook regstelsels en regeringsbeleide. Die studie het ’n gemengdemetodebenadering gebruik, wat ’n ondersoek en inhoudsontleding ingesluit het. Hoewel die ondersoek die primêre navorsingsbenadering in hierdie studie was, is die sekondêre ontleding gebruik om bykomende bewyse te bekom om die inligting wat deur middel van die ondersoek ingesamel is, te bevestig. Beskrywende statistiek is gebruik om die data te ontleed en te interpreteer. Die resultate van die studie dui daarop dat die bogenoemde faktore wat ondersoek is, nie bevorderlik is om die IFRS aan te neem nie en derhalwe is die IFRS as nie geskik vir Ethiopië ten tye van hierdie studie beskou nie. Die studie het ook ’n afwesigheid van ’n enkele stel rekeningkundige standaarde in Ethiopië aan die lig gebring. / Maikaelelo a thutopatlisiso eno e ne e le go sekaseka go tshwanelega ga go amogelwa ga Seemo sa Tlhagiso ya Dipegelo Tsa Ditšhelete sa Boditšhabatšhaba (IFRS) kwa Ethiopia.
