Vikten av att synas - nya verktyg för att värdera ekosystemtjänster
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ekosystemtjänster är alla nyttor som ett fungerande ekosystem ger människan. Att bevara jordbruksmarkens ekosystemtjänster kan vara kostsamt för jordbrukare och då krävs det att de nyttor som tjänsterna ger syns och att bevarandet av ekosystemtjänster är lönsamt. Vi har utvecklat verktyg för att kvantifiera och värdera ekosystemtjänster. Vi presenterar dessa verktyg och visar att:- När det blir lättare att se hur ekosystemtjänster kan bidra till ökad nytta kommer ekosystemtjänster att bevaras i större utsträckning.- Både jordbrukare och samhället kan vinna på att bevara jordbruksmarkens ekosystemtjänster.- Samhällets välfärd ökar då jordbrukets negativa miljöpåverkan minskar.

Bag-limits på torsk i Öresund
- 2017
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Fritidsfisket är en viktig källa till rekreation samtidigt som företag inom fisketurism bidrar till utvecklingen av de kustnära regionerna. Sedan januari 2017 regleras fritidsfisket på torsk i västra Östersjön av en bag-limit. Det innebär att det är tillåtet att ta hem högst fem torskar per dag (tre under lekperioden, februari-mars). I det berörda området är många fisketurismföretag så kallade turbåtar som tar ut fiskare till attraktiva fiskeplatser.Denna studie fokuserar på dessa turbåtar i Öresund och visar att näringen under senare år haft en positiv trend. Det är svårt att belägga de långsiktiga effekterna av en bag-limit på näringens utveckling, men det finns anledning att vara uppmärksam på näringens signaler om minskad efterfrågan.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ill health in early life has a significant negative impact on school grades, grade repetition, educational level, and labormarket outcomes. However, less is known about qualitative socio-economic consequences of a health shock in childhood or adolescence. We investigate the relationship between onset of type 1 diabetes up to age 15 and the probability of choosing and completing a health-oriented path at upper secondary and university level of education. We analyze the Swedish Childhood Diabetes Register, the National Educational Register, and other population registers in Sweden for 2756 people with type 1 diabetes and 10, 020 matched population controls. Educational decisions are modeled as unsorted series of binary choices to assess the choice of educational field as a potential mechanism linking early life health to adult outcomes. The analyses reject the hypothesis of no systematic differences in choice of educational field between people with and without type 1 diabetes at both levels. The results are robust to selection on ability proxies and across sensitivity analysis. We conclude that the observed pro health-oriented educational choices among people with type 1 diabetes in our data are consistent with disease onset in childhood and adolescence having qualitative impact on life-course choices.

Education, Health, and Earnings – Type 1 Diabetes in Children and Young Adults
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis consists of four independent exploratory research papers contributing to the economic literature on child and adolescent health, and adult educational and labor market outcomes. Each paper considers type 1 diabetes and focuses on onset over a specific age span. An overall conclusion of this thesis is that individuals with type 1 diabetes deviate from peers without diabetes, irrespective of which outcome or the timing of onset studied. Type 1 diabetes has statistically and quantitatively significant consequences for both education and labor market outcomes, though the magnitude of the impact depends on timing of onset and individual characteristics. The first paper, "Onset of type 1 diabetes in young adults and long-term consequences for annual earnings", investigates how onset of type 1 diabetes in the age group 28 to 34 relates to adult annual labor earnings over 22 years. First, by focusing on health in young adults (who are generally in the early stages of their careers, but have already made educational choices), I minimize any influence on earnings that otherwise may come from health interacting with education and skill formation during upbringing. Second, by controlling for individual fixed effects, I minimize any influence from time-invariant unobservable factors, such as cognitive and non-cognitive abilities, which have been found to be rather constant throughout adulthood. The second paper, "Onset of type 1 diabetes in young adults and university education", assesses how onset of type 1 diabetes at age 17 to 20 relates to subsequent university education and family formation. Unlike children, young adults are themselves responsible for their health behavior and their academic aspirations, while parents' roles are more advisory. Accordingly, the link reflects how type 1 diabetes influences university education when ruling out the influence of earlier academic achievements and minimizing parental involvement. The third paper, "Labor market consequences of growing up with type 1 diabetes", explores the long-term labor market consequences of growing up with type 1 diabetes, both for children (6 to 15 years old) developing the disease and their siblings. For siblings of individuals with type 1 diabetes, sisters' outcomes appear unaffected, while brothers' outcomes show, on the one hand, a higher likelihood of being employed, but, on the other hand, lower earnings reminiscent of the earnings decrease for individuals with type 1 diabetes themselves. The fourth paper, "Early onset of type 1 diabetes and educational field at upper secondary and university level: is own experience an asset for a health care career?", analyzes the relationship between onset of type 1 diabetes (up to age 15) and the probability of choosing a health-oriented path at upper secondary and university level. By modeling the educational decisions as an unsorted series of binary choices, we shed light on the more qualitative aspects of schooling and assess a potential mechanism linking early life health to adult outcomes.

Labor market consequences of growing up with a sibling with type 1-diabetes
- 2017

Ingår i: Social Science and Medicine. - : Elsevier BV. - 0277-9536. ; 178, s. 1-10

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Economic research on child health and future labor market outcomes has mainly focused on children with impaired health themselves, and only recently begun to assess spillover effects for siblings. Yet, the challenge to accommodate a family's routines within the requirements of a complex and time-consuming disease is most likely to spillover on siblings. While the burden of ill health and managing a disease may have adverse effects, living with a disease may still give families useful experiences and skills that favor future labor market outcomes. Therefore, the potential labor market impacts of growing up with a sick sibling could be both positive and negative. This study investigates differences in the progression of annual labor earnings between siblings of children with type 1-diabetes and population controls. The data is based on detailed Swedish longitudinal registers, covering annual labor earnings in the years 1990–2010 for 764 siblings of 764 children with diabetes and 5506 population controls born in 1962–1971, and follow individuals between ages 19–48. The results indicate that brothers of children with type 1-diabetes have lower earnings growth than controls, while sisters' earnings growth appears unaffected. Consequently, spillovers from one family member to another might differ within a family.

Staying or leaving? The effects of university availability on educational choices and rural depopulation
- 2020

Ingår i: Papers in Regional Science. - : Wiley. - 1056-8190 .- 1435-5957. ; 99:5, s. 1339-1365

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Universities are often viewed as engines of local economic growth that could mitigate rural depopulation. However, university studies might make individuals more prone to move. We explore this issue in a quasi-experiment arising due to a sudden reduction in the number of student places at a regional university in northern Sweden in 1998. We find that the reduction in student places affected both educational choices and long-term migration. Women studied at a university further from home and became more mobile, while men neither studied nor moved. Also, to study at a distant university had a larger impact on migration than studies nearby. This heterogeneity contributes to the understanding of how education affects migration from rural areas.

Vem stannar kvar? - närhet till högskola och val av bostadsort
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När de regionala högskolorna i Sverige expanderade förbättrades möjligheterna att utbilda sig i olika delar av landet avsevärt. Men frågan är om ökad tillgänglighet till högre utbildning får fler att stanna kvar på landsbygden. I den här rapporten undersöker vi hur avståndet till högskolan påverkar utflyttning från landsbygden.Vi finner att högutbildade lämnar landsbygden i högre utsträckning än andra men att utflyttningen inte är fullt så stor för de som valt att studera på en högskola i närheten. Dessutom lämnar högutbildade kvinnor landsbygden i mindre utsträckning än högutbildade män.I vissa specifika fall ökar sannolikheten att högutbildade stannar kvar på landsbygden. Kvinnor som läser på distans och kvinnor som läser en utbildning inom hälsa eller pedagogik har större sannolikhet att stanna kvar i sin hemkommun än kvinnor som inte läser på högskolenivå. Om kvinnorna, å andra sidan, läser en utbildning inom teknik eller tillverkning (exempelvis en civilingenjörsutbildning) är utflyttningen från landsbygden större. För män är valet av studieinriktning också betydelsefullt, men högre utbildning ökar sannolikheten för män att flytta från landsbygden oavsett inriktning.
