När jag somnar tänker jag på de obesvarade mailen : Det kreativa arbetets villkor inom svensk modeindustri
No title
En matière de proximité, la gouvernance des déchets ménagers en Suède repose sur un enchevêtrement de logiques politique, administrative, géographique, économique, juridique, organisationnelle et pratique. Ces logiques sont parfois complémentaires, parfois contradictoires. Selon que le déchet relève ou non d’un système de responsabilité élargie des producteurs, selon qu’il est produit ou non dans
Putting Circular Ambitions into Action : The Case of Accus, a Small Swedish Sign Company
This chapter presents a case study of how Accus, a small Swedish company, worked on developing a circular business model for light sign production and installation to become more sustainable. Drawing on Actor Network Theory (ANT), the Accus case shows that circular business model development is a cooperative endeavor that rests on bringing together a large and changing array of human, as well as n
The substitutability of slaves : Evidence from the Eastern frontier of the Cape Colony
The substitutability of the economic institution of slave labour is oftenassumed as a given. Apart from some capital investment to retrain slaves for a different task,essentially their labour could be substituted for any other form of labour. This paper questions that assumption by using a longitudinal study of the Graaff-Reinet district on the eastern frontier of South Africa’s Cape Colony. We ca
Open carpal tunnel release and diabetes : A retrospective study using PROMs and national quality registries
Objectives To study patient-reported outcome after open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in patients with or without diabetes using national healthcare quality registries. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Data from the Swedish National Quality Registry for Hand Surgery (HAKIR; www.hakir.se) were linked to data from the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR;
Stable population-based incidence of acute type A and B aortic dissection
Background. Aortic dissection (AD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) share the same risk factors. Whereas the incidence of AAA is falling, it is unclear whether population-based incidences of acute type A and B AD have changed. The aim of this study was to investigate incidences of AD subtypes over time. Methods. Citizens in the municipality of Malmö, Sweden, diagnosed with AD in 2000–2004 and 2
The Turnaround of the Swedish Economy : Lessons from Large Business Sector Reforms
How can a country improve productivity growth in its business sector and reach its growth potential? Sweden during the 1970-2010 period can serve as an example to help other countries understand how to efficiently reform a business sector. In the 1990s, Sweden implemented a reform package that ignited a successful reorganization of a business sector that had faltered for decades. To understand the
Competition, takeovers, and gender discrimination
Theories of taste-based discrimination predict that competitive pressures will drive discriminatory behavior out of the market. The authors analyze how firm takeovers and product market competition affect firms' gender composition and gender wage gap using detailed matched employer-employee data. Taking into account several endogeneity concerns while using a difference-in-difference framework, the
Microdata evidence on rent-sharing
We examine the effect of firm profits on wages for individual workers while focusing on the empirical complications associated with estimating the extent of rent-sharing. Controlling for worker and firm fixed-effects and using several instruments to deal with the endogeneity of profits, we report results indicating that Ordinary Least Square (OLS)-estimates strongly underestimate the effects of pr
How wage compression affects job turnover
I use Swedish establishment-level panel data to test the hypothesis of Bertola and Rogerson (Eur Econ Rev 41:1147-1171 1997) of a positive relation between the degree of wage compression and job reallocation. Results indicate that the effect of wage compression on job turnover is positive and significant in the manufacturing sector. The wage compression effect is stronger on job destruction than o
Firm size or firm age? The effect on wages using matched employer-employee data
This paper uses matched employer-employee data set for Sweden to study the relationship between firm age and wages, systematically addressing a variety of possible explanations for observing a firm age-wage effect. Results show considerable heterogeneity across years, along segments of the firm age distribution and across industries. For 1995, a positive relationship is found between firm age and
Pay inequality and firm performance : Evidence from matched employer-employee data
A large matched employer-employee data set for Sweden is used to test several predictions from tournament theory. For white-collar workers a positive and significant effect of intra-firm wage dispersion on profits and average pay is found, using various measures of wage dispersion. This result is robust for controlling for firm differences in human capital and firm fixed-effects as well as for ins
Trembling in Fear and Passion : Kierkegaard's Leap of Faith as a Source of the Sublime
This essay investigates how Søren Kierkegaard’s leap of faith can be viewed as a sublime esthetic experience along the lines of the theories of Longinus and Edmund Burke. In Kierkegaard leaps of faith incorporate feelings of terror and passion. Grounded in notions of eternity and truth, they create occasions for particular kinds of sublime experiences. To Kierkegaard the leap of faith is the step
