Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Den kanske största miljöstriden i svensk historia håller nu på att avslutas, efter tio år i olika rättsliga instanser ända upp till Högsta domstolen. Det handlar om ett 50-tal kalkjobb eller bevarandet av ett av vårt lands mest skyddsvärda områden, skriver flera nationalekonomer gemensamt.

Dissimilarities between the national cost/benefit models of road projects : Comparing appraisals in Nordic countries
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives. - : Elsevier. - 2590-1982. ; 8

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nordic Council has a vision to create the most integrated region globally by 2030. Nevertheless, Nordic cross-border infrastructure projects are generally developed by each nation individually. Joint Nordic infrastructure planning is thus fragmented. An example of this, as reported herein, is how road projects are assessed by the infrastructure planning authorities in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, the latter to which is included in the comparison for the first time. In each country, cost/benefit analyses (CBAs) are used. In each nation, the monetary values of changes in travel time, accidents, and environmental externalities are estimated. We then apply those values to the three national CBA models to assess an illustrative hypothetical road project. Theoretically, the models should provide similar outcomes when using a common set of parameters. Instead, we show that the choice of national model is crucial to the outcome. The Swedish model, for example, generates a higher cost of travel time than the other models irrespective of the nation from which we choose the parameters. Consequently, CBA-based assessments in the Nordic area depend strongly on the model applied and peculiarities in its coding. Finally, we discuss the policy implications of our findings for appraising national and Nordic projects.

Eliminera tveksamheterna : Botniabanan kräver bra argument och dessutom en tydlig strategi
- 1996
-
Ingår i: Västerbottens-Kuriren. - Umeå. - 1104-0246.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Osäkerheten kring Botniabanan är kopplad till Norrlands industriella framtid och till dess städer, framförallt Umeå. Den bräckliga struktur som präglar delar av Norrland är ett skäl för tveksamheten. Tydliga signaler att regionen har kompetens och vilja att dra till sig de företag, myndigheter och människor som ska nyttja järnvägen är viktiga, skriver Erik Bergkvist och Lars Westin.

- Is it possible to identify regional differences among shippers in their valuation of infrastructure improvements? In this study, the question is analysed using a random utility approach, where parameters are estimated by a logit model. Data consist of a Swedish stated-preference study from 1992. The results indicate that regional differences exist, but that a considerable heterogeneity in the empirical data means that in some cases the results are not robust. However, when industrial mix, shipping distance, and goods values are held constant, the analysis still indicates the existence of regional differences. Independently of the limitations in the results, the study has implications for any infrastructure benefit analysis where parameters from spatial averages are used. The results are based on short-term decisions, and one should recognise that parameters may vary in the mid- and long-term.

Regional Policy as Interaction between National Institutions and Regional Science : The Nordic Growth Centre Policies, 1965-1980

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As a reaction to emerging regional imbalances, discussions regarding growth centre policy began in the Nordic countries during the latter part of the 1960s. At this time, a working group within EFTA provided a policy option based on international theories from urban and agglomeration economics. Within the actual growth centre policies in Norway, Sweden and Finland, central elements from the EFTA concept related to the scale of the centres were however not adopted. Instead, growth centres were located to places which had a smaller population than the 30 000 inhabitants recommended by the EFTA concept. This outcome was related to the fact that the EFTA concept was adapted to the existing regional policy institutions. As these institutions were egalitarian and redistributive in character, the Nordic growth centre policies favoured a more dispersed settlement structure than suggested by the EFTA concept.

Undergraduate nursing students' attitudes and preparedness toward caring for dying persons – A longitudinal study
- 2017

- Nursing education needs to prepare students for care of dying patients. The aim of this study was to describe the development of nursing students' attitudes toward caring for dying patients and their perceived preparedness to perform end-of-life care. A longitudinal study was performed with 117 nursing students at six universities in Sweden. The students completed the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD) questionnaire at the beginning of first and second year, and at the end of third year of education. After education, the students completed questions about how prepared they felt by to perform end-of-life care. The total FATCOD increased from 126 to 132 during education. Five weeks' theoretical palliative care education significantly predicted positive changes in attitudes toward caring for dying patients. Students with five weeks' theoretical palliative care training felt more prepared and supported by the education to care for a dying patient than students with shorter education. A minority felt prepared to take care of a dead body or meet relatives. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

Affinities and frictions of trade networks
- 1994
-
Ingår i: The annals of regional science. - 0570-1864 .- 1432-0592. ; 28:3, s. 243-261

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper formulates a theoretical framework in which the analysis starts with supplier-customer links of micro type. From this we derive aggregate trade links between nodes in a spatial network. It is shown how affinities and barriers shape and influence the establishment of customer links, and how this forms aggregate patterns of flows. The framework is applied to three types of models for determining trade patterns — random discrete choice, information theory and gravity models. Essentially equivalent solutions are derived.
