- This paper concerns welfare measurement in the presence of distortionary taxes. One purpose is to explain why the traditional green NNP measure fails as a welfare indicator when distortionary taxes are present. Another is to derive a green NNP analogue in a second best environment. In the second best optimum, the efficiency cost of taxation will affect both the form of the national welfare measure and the proper principles of accounting for pollution.

- In this paper we suggest that joint facilities are an important but often neglected part in the process of creating local social capital in the Swedish countryside. Generally, countryside households are property owners and thus also engaged in some management association for joint facilities. To some extent, the associations hence have a similar function as a very small municipality although with only one or a narrow set of tasks. The possibility to negotiate in case of conflicting interest is more limited, a fact that is often a source of "irritation" in the associations. Instead the social control of utilisation, the possibility for close interaction, and the simplicity in information sharing give the small unit an advantage compared with a municipality. In this respect, the associations has more resemblances to ordinary private self-managed clubs or cooperatives, even if membership is not personal but linked with entry and exit from a specific set of propety market.We observe that management of such facilities is a part of a learning process related to institutional culture, conflict resolution, and a common management for creation of built assets. The associations create and maintain tangible but equally important asset in the form of social capital. The associations for management of joint facilities may thus be part of of a policy for wealth creation and diversity in tjhe provision of local public andclub goods in the countryside.We also observe that when social capital in esrtimations of local growth is instrumentalised by memberships in choirs, sport associations, local folklore societies etc., it may be the case that membership in joint facilities, often an omitted variable, play an equally important role for the local growth through their role as arenas for collective action, learmning and conflict resolution.

- The main purpose of the study is to investigate the impact of contextual factors in the organizational decision making process on the formation of B2B brand equity. The study examines the existence of potential differences in the development of brand equity by decision makers involved in the purchasing of professional services. The contextual settings considered in the study include large businesses versus small businesses, and private companies versus public organizations. The results of the MANOVA analysis show differences in the overall brand equity developed by the decisions makers in these three contexts towards their provider of professional services. Across the dimensions of brand equity, no significant differences were found in terms of brand awareness and brand associations. However, significant differences between the three types of contexts were identified in terms of perceived quality and brand loyalty. The structural equation modeling was used to further explore the differences across the brand equity dimensions, which occurred between the decisions makers from various contexts. Marketing managers could use the knowledge about the formation of B2B brand equity to improve efficiency of the brand building process, which takes place between different contextual settings and across various brand equity dimensions.

National product related welfare measures in the presence of technological change, externalities and uncertainty

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to discuss under what conditions welfare can be measured by observables related to the national product (or Hamiltonian along the optimal trajectory). Under nonattributable technological or environmental change, welfare will depend on time itself, meaning that the Hamiltonian along the optimal trajectory will be a biased measure of welfare. This result will also hold if we make the time dependence of welfare endogenous, by replacing technological change will externalities that are not internalized during optimization. On the other hand, if we take the externalities fully into account, then the Hamiltonian will represent the appropriate measure of welfare. Similar results also hold in the case of uncertainty, where we show that a ‘generalized’ Hamiltonian provides a welfare measure, and that the deterministic measures are special cases of their stochastic counterparts.
