Why reduce profit? – Accounting choice of impairments in Swedish listed corporations?
- 2011
-
In: International Journal of Accounting and Finance. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1752-8224. ; 3:1, s. 49-71
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Positive accounting theory and institutional theory are used inconjunction in order to explain accounting choice. The theory is applied onIAS 36 (impairment of assets), and tested on a sample of listed Swedishcorporations. We find that the choice is mainly induced by agency and generalbusiness factors and to a slighter degree by institutional factors. Especially, wefind that institutional influence will be stronger when it is in the interest ofimportant stakeholders; that impairments can be used as a mean of signallingtrust to absent owners and that the institutional element of tradition cannot betested separately from the agency element of opportunism.

Switching costs, switching benefits and lock-in effects : the reregulated Swedish heat market
- 2010
-
In: Energy and Environment. - : SAGE Publications Inc.. - 0958-305X .- 2048-4070. ; 21:6, s. 563-575
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper argues for and defines a locked-in consumer as a consumer that is involuntary locked into one system in spite of an economic incentive to change. A locked-in consumer is therefore not seen as a loyal consumer but instead is assumed to be loyal to a system in spite an obvious economic gain of switching. Being defined as a natural monopoly in its technique, district heating has long been criticized for its eventual abuse of this monopoly position. Therefore, assuming well functioning ex-ante competition, the study calculates switching costs for switching from district heating to pellet burners or heat pumps. The analysis show that there exist relatively substantial benefits of switching from district heating to pellet burning or heat pumps, especially in residential urban areas. With limited available relevant markets, district heating being the only alternative, this negative switching cost cannot be capitalized and represents, in the assumed absence of loyal customers, a lock-in effect. The result indicates that we cannot reject the idea that the district heating plants serving residential areas inStockholm misuse their dominant position resulting in a reduction of the social welfare.

Är du lönsam lilla småhus? : användarflexibilitet och lönsamhet för fjärrvärme i flerbostadshus, en tvärsnittsanalys
- 2011
-
In: Ekonomisk bebatt. - 0345-2646. ; 39:3, s. 28-37
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- En låg prisrespons hos konsumenter är en av förutsättningarna för ett naturligt monopol, som ett fjärrvärmeföretag, skall kunna utnyttja sin monopolställning. Fjärrvärme säljs företrädesvis för uppvärmning till flerbostadshus och småhus där småhusen har individuell mätning av förbrukningen medan flerbostadshusen har kollektiv mätning av förbrukningen. En grundläggande hypotes i denna studie är att småhusägare har en högre användarflexibilitet än konsumenter i ett flerbostadshus. I analysen används tvärsnittsdata för 187 fjärrvärmeverk i Sverige för året 2007 och resultatet indikerar att småhusägaren uppvisar en tydligt högre priselasticitet jämfört med flerbostadshuset. Analysen visar dessutom att varje ytterligare småhus som kopplas på i fjärrvärmenätet genererar en resultatminskning medan varje ytterligare flerbostadshus genererar en tydlig uppgång av rörelseresultatet för fjärrvärmeföretaget på orten.

Är det ditt slutgiltliga bud? : temporala effekter på pris i internetauktioner
- 2010
-
In: Ekonomisk debatt. - 0345-2646. ; 38:7, s. 5-15
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Internetbaserade auktioner har letat sig in i ”folkhemmet”. Auktionerna har också blivit ett forum för rationellt såväl som emotionellt drivna köpbeslut. I denna studie analyseras huruvida auktionstiden (119 auktioner; 58 presentkort och 61 konsertbiljetter) är en prispåverkande faktor. Auktionerna visade en relativ värdestegring (slutbudet dividerat med det begärda priset) när tidsramen för auktionen krympte. Samtidigt fanns det inte någon signifikant skillnad mellan antalet bud i långa respektive korta auktioner som kunde förklara värdestegringen. Resultaten diskuteras mot en bakgrund av hur tid bidrar till, alternativt, motverkar ekonomisk rationalitet.

Governance and Control of Externalized Water Service Management: Comparing solutions adopted in Italy and Sweden
- 2011
-
In: Corporate Ownership & Control. - : Virtus Interpress. - 1727-9232. ; 8:3, s. 188-195
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract in UndeterminedIn this paper teh challenges imposed on corporate governance of water services in Italy and Sweden are analyzed and compared. From the comparative analysis we notice that with externalization of services more stakeholders become involved in the provision of services. These stakeholders have common as well as divergent interests and the challenge thus become to find an alignment of interest among stakeholders in order to secure a sustainable provision of the services. The comparative analyzis indicate that such alignment is especially difficult when stakeholders have heterogeneous background (public and private sector).

The ‘externalisation’ of local public service delivery : experience in Italy and Sweden
- 2010
-
In: International Journal of Public Policy. - Olney : InderScience Publishers. - 1740-0600 .- 1740-0619. ; 5:1, s. 41-56
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In recent years, the local government sector in European countries has undergone important changes involving, among other things, the externalisation of local public service provision through various forms of corporatisation, public-public collaboration, public-private partnerships and contracting out. An important consequence of these institutional changes has been the recasting of local governance systems through the need for increased cooperation between public and private actors. This article addresses these matters with comparative reference to the experience in Italy and Sweden. In doing so, it considers local governments in their constitutional and legal contexts, leading to more detailed discussions of their externalisation initiatives and resultant organisational forms and governance arrangements. Issues of ownership have been important concerning the significance of 'community' and 'place' in the management of public affairs. © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Organisationers vardag: sett underifrån
- 2010
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna bok bygger på berättelser från vardagen ute i olika organisationer - en vardag som förvånansvärt ofta varken är välordnad eller rationell. Berättelserna är skrivna av unga människor och speglar deras kontakter med arbetslivet i dagens Sverige. Tack vare detta underifrånperspektiv ges utrymme för vardagliga tankar och mänskliga känslor, något som lätt försvinner i de teoretiska framställningar som görs i traditionella läroböcker.
