Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper studies the innovative performance of 130 Swedish corporations during 1993-1994. The number of patents per corporation is explained as a function of the accessibility to internal and external knowledge sources of each corporation. A coherent way of handling accessibility measures, within and between corporations located across regions, is introduced. We examine the relative importance of intra- and interregional knowledge sources from 1) the own corporation, 2) other corporations, and 3) universities. The results show that there is a positive relationship between the innovativeness of a corporation and its accessibility to university researchers within regions where own research groups are located. Good accessibility among the corporation's research units does not have any significant effects on the likelihood of generation of patents. Instead the size of the R&D staff of the corporation seems to be the most important internal factor. There is no indication that intraregional accessibility to other corporations' research is important for a corporation's innovativeness. However, there is some indication of reduced likelihood for own corporate patenting when other corporate R&D is located in nearby regions. This may reflect a negative effect from competition for R&D labor.

- We examine the role of regional import flows for renewal of regional industries. The hypothesis is that imports stimulate renewal of local industries by being vehicles for technology diffusion and means by which local firms can exploit advantages of global specialisation. We find robust and positive relationships between high-quality imports and renewal of regional exports, where the latter are measured by the introduction of novel export products of local firms. Connectedness to international markets via import networks appears to be a stimulus for the renewal of regional exports.

The sources of the urban wage premium by worker skills: Spatial sorting or agglomeration economies?
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We estimate the respective importance of spatial sorting and agglomeration economies in explaining the urban wage premium for workers with different sets of skills. Sorting is the main source of the wage premium. Agglomeration economies are in general small, but are larger for workers with skills associated with non-routine job tasks. They also appear to involve human capital accumulation, as evidenced by the change in the wage of workers moving away from denser regions. For workers with routine jobs, agglomeration economies are virtually non-existent. Our results provide further evidence of spatial density bringing about productivity advantages primarily in contexts when problem-solving and interaction with others are important.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The words used in modern Swedish to describe migration (e.g., utvandring, emigration) are all rather recent newcomers into the language, most being in common use only since the late nineteenth century. This chapter addresses the question of how migration was conceptualized in Early Modern Sweden, before the introduction of the modern concepts. It is based on two types of sources. The first one is emigration prohibitions, issued by Swedish kings during the period 1551–1620. The second is a database of migration data based on taxation records, in which people leaving Sweden during the years 1613–1618 were listed. The study finds that in these sources, a wide vocabulary of phrases was used in order to describe what people did when they left the country, including “leaping out of the realm”, and “going out to” other lands. These phrases, as well as the emigration prohibitions, show that the world was thought of as divided into two separate regions; Sweden and the outside rest. The words in use also show that emigration was seen as and conceptualized as different to migration within the borders of the realm. Finally, different concepts were used in order to discriminate between various groups of migrants, on the basis of social class, ethnicity, and to some extent also gender. This language use was especially prevalent in the emigration prohibitions, which most often targeted only Finns and servants. The study thus supports the assumption of migration historians that these regulations concerned “emigration”, which existed as a concept already in the middle of the sixteenth century, even in the absence of the modern terminology.

Human capital sorting : The "when" and "who" of the sorting of educated workers to urban regions
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The sorting of high-ability workers is often advanced as one source of spatial disparities in economic outcomes. There are still few papers that analyze when human capital sorting occurs and whom it involves. Using data on 16 cohorts of university graduates in Sweden, we demonstrate significant sorting to urban regions on high school grades and education levels of parents, i.e., two attributes typically associated with latent abilities that are valued in the labor market. A large part of this sorting has already occurred in deciding where to study, because the top universities in Sweden are predominantly located in urban regions. The largest part of directed sorting on ability indicators occurs in the decision of where to study. Even after controlling for sorting prior to labor market entry, the best and brightest are still more likely to start working in urban regions. However, this effect appears to be driven by Sweden's main metropolitan region, Stockholm. We find no influence of our ability indicators on the probability of starting to work in urban regions after graduation when Stockholm is excluded. Studies of human capital sorting need to account for selection processes to and from universities, because neglecting mobility prior to labor market entry is likely to lead to an underestimation of the extent of the sorting to urban regions.
