Competition or complement? : The relation between towns and rural industrialisation in Sweden 1820-96
- 2008
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article studies the relation between rural industry and urban service functions in Mälardalen and the Southeast of Sweden 1820-90. The conclusion is that the general dynamic influence of towns highlighted in many British studies cannot be found in Sweden. Despite an overall increase in trade, financial services and information during the nineteenth century, Swedish towns did not in general serve as stimulating relays for rural industry. Instead, industries close to smaller towns choose to market and finance their goods via larger and more distant towns. First in the 1890s an actual effect of access to urban services became evident.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using a spatial statistical analysis we study the relation between rural industrial employment and distance to towns and access to communications in nineteenth century Sweden. Our results show that rural parishes with access to communicationshad a higher proportion of rural industrial workers than parishes without. In a region with few towns, the south-east of Sweden, parishes close to large towns had a higher proportion of industrial employees than distant parishes in1850, while no significant correlation was observed in 1890. In a region with arelatively dense urban system, Mälardalen, only in 1890 did parishes close to large towns show a higher proportion of rural industrial workers than did more distant parishes. However, the mean positive effect was negligible beyond 10 km. Thus, in the second half of the nineteenth century the immediate urban hinterland was industrialising prior to large scale urbanisation and urban industrialisation.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This licentiate thesis analyzes preferences among Swedish vacationers during the period of 1938-1959. The aim of the thesis is to closely examine these preferences in order to contribute to a more fully developed understanding of holiday-related consumption during the period. The thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the contents of the preferences and also analyzes the kind of consumption related to those preferences. The material on which this thesis is based consists of written recollections gathered from informants who, in response to a list of questions, described their own, past holiday experiences. An important overall result is that holidaymakers desired change. Informants sought contrast to their everyday lives. The strong desire for change had an impact on all areas of holidaymaking. Informants believed that the best way to relax was through a complete break from their ordinary lives. They appreciated meeting new people, being in new places and seeing different natural surroundings than what they encountered on a daily basis. All this meant that they needed to go away. Consequently, travelling was highly appreciated by the informants. The strong desire for change and the different expressions this took has not been fully understood before, nor has it been known that travelling was of such importance already at this time. That change and travel were such important aspects of holiday life provided strong incentives for consumption. A journey often required several modes of consumption, not only those that were directly travel-related. Travelling promoted consumption in a dynamic manner.

A new quest for efficiency : the post war programme of the Federation of Swedish Wholesalers

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the mid 1950s the activities of the Federation of Swedish Wholesalers (Sveriges Grossistförbund/SGF) were considered by the OEEC to be among the forerunners concerning the rationalization of European wholesaling. From the 1940s the SGF started to develop more systematic policies and activities to promote the rationalization of Swedish wholesaling. One important effort was the formation of the Wholesale Research Institute in 1943. Another was to produce and circulate publications, some aimed at the public, others for internal use, where measures to promote and implement means to create more efficient and profitable wholesale businesses were discussed. The focus of this paper is to analyze these publications, which I have labeled ”The Post War Program” of the SGF. The Post War Program of the SGF will be put into a wider context by discussing the general debate on rationalization of the distribution sector and also the important Post War Program of the Swedish Labor Movement, a program stressing the need for rationalization of the economy including arguments for increased government intervention or nationalization in case of markets failures.
