Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I think the lesson is that Malthus was wrong because he took the problem of limits outside of history, outside the history that women and men make in the modern world. So the issue is not that there is no scarcity — of course, capitalism is a system that is premised on induced scarcity. That’s why markets in the capitalist era function the way that they do. So I think the mistake of the left has been in a certain reluctance to deal with the problems of scarcity, or in some cases back into an embrace of a neo-Malthusian scarcity mentality in which there are these “natural limits” that are outside of how capitalism functions historically as an ecological regime.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article mainly focuses on projects-as-practice based in the social sciences, and it suggests that the situated practice side of a social phenomenon is also important as a basis of study for understanding what is done. While the study is empirical, it focuses on the actions and actors involved in building or organizing environments, rather than simply looking at aggregated social processes or structures. With this approach, projects are seen as the sum of the actions of the people involved, which emphasizes both how people involved in projects act and how their typical workdays are structured. This may shed light on areas such as the importance of project management practice for strategic organizational change or the improvisation that is necessary for project execution.

Welfare measurement, green accounting and distortionary taxes
- 2011

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Joint facilities and the creation of social capital in the Swedish countryside
- 2011. - 1
-
Ingår i: Social capital and development trends in rural areas. - Kyoto : MARG, Graduate School of Urban Management, Kyoto University, Japan. - 9784907830076 ; , s. 71-89
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

National product related welfare measures in the presence of technological change, externalities and uncertainty
- 2011

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.
