At present, international attention is focused on an emerging draft treaty concerning security interests in mobile goods. Highly valued mobile assets (such as aircraft) by nature move from one jurisdiction to another, and therefore, an international convention dealing the creation and recognition of property rights in such goods is necessary. This thesis will concentrate on the laws governing the taking of aircraft as security. / The draft UNIDROIT Convention, once approved and implemented by states, would introduce a vast degree of economic benefits to airlines and their respective governments, ranging from lower banking interest rates to more credit being generated, all of which will benefit national economies and the traveling public at large. / Given the strong attitude shown by a majority of states that reflects their unwillingness to surrender some basic legal principles relating to property rights, the author considers it proper to undertake this work, which will concentrate on important legal problems relating to international aircraft financing.

The aviation industry is one characterized by its constant search for new methods to finance and acquire new equipment as international markets develop. In this search, multiple legal and financial frameworks have been created resulting in economic flexibility for carriers, through very complex transactions. Inside this trend of financial arrangements the most frequently used method is to lease the equipment they need. / The main concern related to these transactions is that aircrafts are highly movable assets that can travel to various jurisdictions. This faculty supposes a threat to lessors and owners' property interests over the aircraft because property law is encompassed into national laws and are not easily recognized in other countries in cases of controversies centered in a movable good. / Chapter I of this thesis will focus on the different types of financing methods used by carriers to procure new equipment. Chapter II discusses the current international conventions in force regulating international leases. Finally, Chapter III purports to analyze the Draft UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment and the Protocol related to Aircraft Equipment.

Whether they are renting a neighbor’s used tools, using a bike sharing program to get to work rather than owning a car, or streaming a movie online through Netflix, consumers are forgoing traditional ownership of goods in favor of gaining mere access to them. This behavior reflects a change in the way consumers view possession and ownership. While it is known that consumers become attached to possessions and that possessions mean a great deal to the identities and lives of consumers, it is unclear how consumers feel about goods which they can possess and use but do not own. Specifically, it is unknown whether consumers perceive and become attached to accessed goods in the same way they do owned goods. The answer to this question has strong implications for marketing theory and practice. This study found no significant difference in the perceived value of the good or the perceived value of the possession experience between owned and accessed goods. However, psychological feelings of ownership were found to affect these measures both directly and as a mediating factor between the method of possession and the perceptions of value. This relationship was not found to behave in the same way for both hedonic and utilitarian goods. Utilitarian goods appeared to benefit slightly more than hedonic goods from feelings of ownership. This research has strong implications for theory, including the development of a new conceptual model that ties together disparate research areas, the lack of differences in ownership effects between owned and accessed goods, and the important role played by psychological ownership in shaping consumer perceptions. This research also has strong implications for managers relating to consumer perceptions of owned vs. accessed goods, the importance of generating feelings of psychological ownership within customers, and the differential effect this process has on the perception of utilitarian products.

This report will try to give clarity in when and if it is most advantageous for a specific pipelaying entrepreneur to invest in buying pipelaying-equipment or renting it to their pipelaying-projects. The purpose of the report is also to give the reader a good perception of both alternatives as it could be a useful tool in future procurements. The information and prices that is used for the calculations in this report are gathered through the entrepreneur’s calculation-section, interviews with field-experts, rental companies, books and publications and internet. The report is limited to equipment that pipelayers normally are in need of in projects and the specific usage percentage is not used in the calculations. The result in this report shows what equipment is needed in a typical pipelaying-project and when it is best economically for a company to buy or rent their equipment both as individual articles and as a complete set. The result also shows that the hourly rate of buying the equipment is far less than the rate of renting it. It also brings up critical factors for investment-calculating regarding pipelaying-equipment. / Denna rapport ska skapa en ökad kunskap om och i sådana fall när det för ett specifikt företag inom mark- och anläggningsbranschen i Stockholmsområdet är fördelaktigt att själva investera eller hyra sin rörläggarutrustning i interna VA- projekt. Syftet med arbetet är även att kunna ge en god uppfattning av bägge kostnadsalternativen då det kan vara till nytta att använda sig av i framtida upphandlingar. Den information och de priser som legat till grund för beräkningarna i rapporten är inhämtade genom företagets ekonomiavdelning, intervjuer med sakkunnig personal, mailkontakt med hyresföretag samt informationssökning i litteratur, publikationsdatabaser samt internetsidor. Arbetet avgränsas till utrustning som rörläggare är i behov av för att klara av sitt dagliga arbete samt att den exakta nyttjandegraden av utrustningen inte vägs in i beräkningarna som återfinns i arbetet. Resultatet i den här rapporten visar vad som bör ingå i en typisk utrustning som en rörläggare behöver för att kunna utföra sitt arbete och när man tjänar på att hyra alternativt köpa sin rörläggarutrustning både som separata artiklar och som en komplett rörläggarcontainer. Arbetet visar också att själva timpriset för att köpa utrustningen är avsevärt lägre än timpriset för att hyra utrustningen. Slutligen tar rapporten upp avgörande faktorer för investeringskalkylering av rörläggarutrustning.
