  • Brain circulation and flexible adjustment : labour mobility as a cluster advantage
  • 2011
  • In: Geografiska Annaler. Series B, Human Geography. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0435-3684 .- 1468-0467. ; 93:1, s. 21-39
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This article explores the role of labour mobility as a potential cluster advantage. We review the theoretical arguments as for how and why labour mobility could enhance the dynamism and performance of clusters of similar and related firms. A combination of quantitative and qualitative data from two information and communication technology (ICT) clusters is used to answer two research questions: (1) What is the role of mobility enhancing (or restricting) institutions in clusters? (2) In what ways does labour mobility contribute to knowledge transfer within clusters? The two ICT clusters studied in the article generally seem to have higher levels of mobility, compared to the labour market at large. Although it is regarded as beneficial in theory, most cluster firms try to restrict mobility of workers since they fear the risk and costs of losing staff. Labour mobility is also rarely viewed as a viable way to increase the knowledge bases or contact networks of firms. However, when firms need to recruit the clustered labour markets seem to benefit them by facilitating the use of informal recruitment processes. By way of conclusion it is suggested that cluster firms might be under-investing in mobility and that innovative institutional solutions could help realize clusters’ mobility potential.

  • Exploring Dutch migration to rural Sweden : international counterurbanisation in the EU
  • 2012
  • In: Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0040-747X .- 1467-9663. ; 103:3, s. 330-346
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper explores whether the concept of counterurbanisation, expanded with an international dimension, offers a valuable framework for understanding recent migration flows from the Netherlands to Sweden. Using a geo-referenced database comprising demographic and socio-economic variables, the post-migration employment status, employment sector and settlement location of Dutch migrants in Central Sweden are analysed. In addition, results from observation, interviews and a survey during emigration fairs are employed to describe the motives for migration from the Netherlands to Central Sweden. We argue that counterurbanisation is not an exhausted research topic, when international political, economic and socio-cultural factors are added to the study.

  • Tourism Employment and Creative In-migrants
  • 2014
  • In: Scandinavian Journal of Hospitality and Tourism. - : Routledge. - 1502-2250 .- 1502-2269. ; 14:4, s. 403-421
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • This paper analyses the importance of tourism employment for in-migration to Malung/Sälen and Älvdalen, two rural municipalities hosting two major tourist destinations in the southern Swedish mountains. It uses micro-data from a database that includes, among many other variables, residence and employment information. This work is explorative and uses longitudinal data that permit examining individuals and go beyond simple net employment figures to show that many in-migrants to these municipalities are employed in tourism and constitute part of what is defined as the “creative workforce” in the local labour market. In this sense, tourism employment is found to be a pull factor for in-migration of highly skilled and well-paid people.

  • Fram träder Bergslagen : Nytt ljus över gammal region
  • 2009
  • Editorial proceedings (other academic/artistic)abstract
    • Hur ska vi förstå Bergslagens som region? Mystiskt, folkligt och kreativt har regionen nyligen karakteriserats. Ibland talas om "bruksandan" och om en region med stora svårigheter att förnya sig. Stämmer detta? Forskare från en rad discipliner vid Bergslagens lärosäten delar här med sig av sina forskningsresultat om regionen.

  • New firm formation in old industrial regions : a study of entrepreneurial in-migrants in Bergslagen, Sweden
  • 2015
  • In: Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 0029-1951 .- 1502-5292. ; 69:2, s. 90-101
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • The article examines new firm formation in the old industrial region (OIR) of Bergslagen in Sweden, and in particular the role of in-migrants. The study is based on longitudinal georeferenced microdata (1993–2008) compiled by Statistics Sweden and providing information on individuals' attachments to the Swedish labour market, as well as workplaces and firms, education, income, and family composition. This specially commissioned database enabled the characterization and analysis of emerging forms of entrepreneurship and self-employment, as well as the socio-economics of the labour market. The longitudinal data allowed the authors to trace actions taken by individuals over time. The results indicate that new firm formation is related to private services, rather than to the traditional manufacturing sector and public services that currently dominate the regional labour market. Self-employed in-migrants are active in other sectors than non-migrants, and show some distinct features in terms of their lower age, better education, and more often non-Nordic background. The study showed that both in-migration and return migration had a positive, significant, and substantial effect on migrants' decision to start a business when a number of other individual characteristics had been controlled for.
