(2014-08-08)This dissertation consists of three essays about adverse selection and advantageous selection in life insurance and health insurance markets. Firstly, I confirm the advantageous selection in voluntary private health ...
-
(2015-05-13)Characterization of carbonate reservoirs is challenging as the result of heterogeneous distribution of petrophysical properties and mineralogy. Common rock classification techniques are strongly dependent on core measurements, ...
-
(2022-07-10)Causal relationship, rather than statistical association, provides the basic understanding of nature. Learning causal structure from observational data is one of the most fundamental ways to explore causality, and the ...
-
(2018-06-01)Cancer is a disease associated with uncontrolled cell proliferation or reduced cell death, either of which can lead to tumorigenesis. A possible route through which cancer can develop is by breakdowns in the signaling ...
-
(2017-04-10)Understanding the heterogeneous nature of cancer tissue is a very important problem in cancer research. It can give insights into the cause of disease, its progression and explain induced drug resistance. There are two ...
-
(2020-04-21)Subduction zones are known to produce large, damaging earthquakes, but they can also experience slow-slip events which cannot be felt by humans. Understanding the mechanisms which influence this variation in slip rate will ...
-
(2019-03-29)This dissertation investigates inequality, business cycles, and macroeconomic policies. First, I investigate the quantitative implications of real wage rigidities and heterogeneity for two long-lasting puzzles in the ...
-
(2023-04-22)This dissertation investigates topics in macroeconomics related to fiscal policy and economic growth using both empirical and theoretical frameworks. In the first chapter, I explore whether changes in personal income ...
