Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter addresses humor on stage on the example of one of the most popular stand-up comedians of the 2018-2020, Danila Poperechnyi. It also reviews some important cultural contexts from Soviet times to the present and discusses the transformation of "old" genres of Soviet estrada that gradually moved from the center of cultural sphere to the periphery during the post-Soviet years. The rise of a new generation of stand-up comedians made apparent the discrepancy between epochs: the mainstream media is still dominated by the "old" structures and rules, and young comedians are often forced to either abandon satire and resort to "pure" entertainment due to the fear of various repercussions or make their "escape" to the Internet in order to reach their audience under "soft censorship." In that situation, many young comedians assume the mask of a joker, trying to balance between the allowed and the forbidden, between conformism and protest. This chapter also reflects on the situation of dual reality, reminiscent of Soviet times, and theorizes about three main factors that contribute to the appearance of new underground culture: repression, nostalgia and stagnation.

- Patent law aims at incentivizing innovations and promoting social welfare. While the first objective is usually associated with a strong monopoly, there is a belief that social welfare increases with more open access to patented technologies. When these objectives come into conflict with each other, procedural law allows the resolution of this conflict via the principle of proportionality by weighing various rights and interests in the course of enforcement.However, the application of this principle varies between countries. This article discusses such differences in patent disputes concerned with applications for permanent injunctions. Scrutinizing German, English and US legal practice, it analyses proportionality as a maxim that promotes the efficiency of the patent system.We argue for a wider application of proportionality as a tool which enables the courts to adjust patent exclusivity to the factual circumstances of the case and to the objectives of patent protection. We also propose a way in which proportionality may become more pronounced in European patent enforcement.

Asymmetry in Value Relevance of Environmental Performance (EP) Information : Contingency Effects of Size and Industry

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Contemporary research documents a positive but weak price premium from environmental performance (EP). The specific circumstances of pricing EP of large and small companies and in polluting and clean industries have not, however, been investigated. This study predicts that financial markets price EP beyond financial fundamentals differently, depending on company size and the environmental risk of the industry and provides evidence relying on a set of the Sweden Stock Market 300 (SIX 300) companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange (OMX Stockholm). Applying a value relevance model, the average results are in line with previous findings that EP adds value beyond the book value of equity and earnings. The asymmetry in EP is. however, driven by company size and the environmental risk of the industry. This study suggests that large companies in low-risk industries obtain strong price premiums from being environmental industry leaders. In contrast, small companies and also companies in high-risk industries do not necessarily accrue the same market benefits.

Company receptivity in private dialogue on sustainability risks

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines empirically the efficiency of private collaborative dialogues between Nordic institutional investors and companies included in the MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) World stock market index. It contributes to an understanding of the conditions that allow active institutional investors to elect to work with more receptive and progressive companies and improve the efficiency of private engagement and dialogue. Stakeholder silence theory and Gond et al.’s model of company perceptions of enablers and barriers to the success of engagement are introduced to analyse the efficiency of private dialogue. The study investigates a proprietary dataset covering the characteristics of 109 complete dialogue processes related to material environmental, social, and corruption issues. The dialogues are led by a professional engagement agent in collaboration with its Nordic clients. The multivariate regression analysis shows that sustainability risk, bureaucracy, and experience are the specific conditions under which the target company can become more receptive to activism by making more progress to address institutional investors’ requests during the hidden dialogue process.
