Havelka, Matej (author)The field of causal inference provides a variety of estimators that can be used to find the effect of a treatment on an outcome based on observational data. However, many of these estimators require the unconfoundedness assumption, stating that all relevant confounders are observed within the data. This assumption is quite strict and many real...master thesis 2024

van den Elshout, Coen (author)To prevent the worst dangers of climate change, the EU has committed to net zero by fully decarbonizing the European energy sector by 2050. While most energy sectors can be decarbonized by electrification, some “hard-to-abate” sectors need other solutions to lower their emission output. The EU has chosen green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in...master thesis 2024
