Out of 105 passengers, 27 survived. This brief report presents a perspective of the passengers’ sustained injuries. Methods: We reviewed the recorded injuries of all passengers as provided by the Legal Medicine Organization authorities. The Injury Severity Score (ISS), an anatomical scoring system, was used to provide an overall code for those who survived with multiple anatomical injuries. Results: There were a total of 96 ISS body region injuries among those who survived.

  • Landar Flygplanstillverkarna Säkert När Flygplanen Kraschar?
    Nationalekonomiska institutionen Kandidatuppsats i Finansiell ekonomi Höstterminen 2019 – NEKH02 Landar flygplanstillverkarna säkert när flygplanen kraschar? En händelsestudie av flygolyckors påverkan på Flygplanstillverkarnas aktiekurs Författare Mailadress Handledare Beata Barkman [email protected] Dag RydorFF Joakim Landby [email protected] Sammanfattning Studien har som syfte att undersöka huruvida flygolyckor påverkar flygplanstillverkares aktiepriser. Tidsperioden som undersöks är mellan år 2000 och 2018 och begränsas till olyckor där 30 personer eller fler miste livet. Metoden som ligger till grund för arbetet är en händelsestudie som tillsammans med statistiska test undersöker effekten av flygolyckor. Historiska data i form av faktiska aktiekurser används för att beräkna den faktiska avkastningen vilken i sin tur används för att uppskatta vad avkastningen skulle varit om olyckan ej inträffat - den så kallade förväntade avkastningen. Studien begränsas till att undersöka börsnoterade bolag där terrorattentat som varit kända som orsak vid första informationsspridning via media utesluts ur undersökningen. Med utgångspunkt i den effektiva marknadshypotesen finner vi att resultatet inte visar på någon signifikant negativ effekt av en flygplansolycka på tillverkarens aktiepris förutom när vi ser till den icke-amerikanska marknaden i ett av våra delresultat. Utöver den effektiva marknadshypotesen så analyseras resultaten också med hjälp av slutsatser från tidigare forskning inom området. Därefter generaliseras resultaten för att kunna föra en diskussion kring utvecklingsområden inom studien. Nyckelord: Flygolyckor, Flygplanstillverkare, Händelsestudie, Effektiva marknadshypotesen, Avkastning, Prissättning av tillgångar, Finansiell Ekonomi i Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate whether aircraft accidents affect the stock prices of aircraft manufacturers. The time period examined is between 2000 and 2018 and is limited to accidents where 30 people or more lost their lives.
