The Fruits of Economics - A Treat for Women? On gender balance in the economics profession in Sweden
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Economics in Sweden is still a male-dominated profession, despite an increasing number of women entering the profession during recent decades. About one third of the students in the higher undergraduate programs in economics are women. Women’s proportion of the licentiate degrees obtained has increased from zero to 27 percent and their share of doctoral degrees from zero to 26 percent between 1970 and 2005. The proportion of women in the research and teaching staff at academic institutions in economics, 16 percent, is slightly below their proportion of the total number with a doctoral degree in economics in the country, 18 percent. Further, women’s careers in academia have not kept up with those of men. Only 13 percent of those with the academic grade of associate professor or higher are women. No more than six percent of the full professors in economics at Swedish universities, i.e. five, are women. Women in economics are underrepresented relative to women employed in the university as a whole. When comparing the career ladder for women in economics to that of other academic fields, we find economics to be more akin to mathematics than to the other social sciences. The situation for women in academic economics in Sweden is surprisingly similar to that in other countries for which we have comparable data. The paper also considers the interest and success of female economists in professional and public economic policy debate through their representation in The Swedish Association of Economics and their participation as authors in Ekonomisk Debatt, the journal of the association, inaugurated in 1973.

Rätt och fel om våra pensioner
- 2015
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Det hörs många kritiska röster om våra pensioner. Det påstås ofta att pensionerna är för låga, för beroende av börsutvecklingen, missgynnar kvinnorna eller att systemet är alldeles för krångligt. Har kritikerna rätt? Är det dags att än en gång reformera pensionerna? Det är nu 20 år sedan riksdagen fattade ett principbeslut om ett helt nytt pensionssystem. Pensionssystem är långsiktiga åtaganden. Det är viktigt att systemet går att lita på, att det är stabilt. Många vanligt förekommande påståenden bygger på missförstånd. De är felaktiga eller kan ibland vara varken rätt eller fel. Författarna reder ut vad som är sant och falskt. De går igenom konstruktionen, jämför med gamla system och diskuterar finansieringen och pensionsstorleken. Agneta Kruse är universitetslektor i nationalekonomi vid Lunds universitet och Ann-Charlotte Ståhlberg är professor i nationalekonomi vid Institutet för social forskning, Stockholms universitet. Båda har forskat och undervisat om pensioner i många år och deltagit som experter i ett flertal pensionsutredningar, inhemska såväl som internationella.

Wage and compensation inequality
- 2011

Ingår i: Journal of Insurance Markets and Companies: Analyses and Actuarial Computations. - Ukraine : "Business Perspectives" Publishing Company. ; 2:2, s. 14-19

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Wages are not the only compensation for gainful employment. In particular, many employees also enjoy pension benefitsand sickness benefit insurance. The paper compares the distribution of individuals' wage income to the distributionof labor compensation when important non-wage benefits are included. In the study for Sweden the focus is on pensionbenefits. The authors address the importance of earnings-related pensions for the distribution of labor compensation.The estimations are based on a representative sample of the Swedish adult population. It is found that inequality increaseswhen compensation is considered instead of wage income, that there are differences between men and womenand across socio-economic groups in the way benefits affect inequality. This is in agreement with earlier studies in theU.S. The results also indicate that defined contribution pension schemes are more equally distributed than definedbenefit schemes. This might be of interest because pension systems are being modified in many parts of the world andmany countries have swapped a defined benefit system for a defined contribution one.

Welfare State's Redistributive Effect Is Exaggerated
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Review of European Studies. - : Canadian Center of Science and Education (CCSE). - 1918-7173 .- 1918-7181. ; 3:1, s. 71-78

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article questions traditional analysis of the redistributive effect of the welfare state and investigates how large the effect would be with a realistic alternative for comparison. The most commonly used reference point is the zero-government counterfactual that measures redistributive effect of social policy against distribution of pre-tax and pre-transfer income. But it is impossible to ignore the fact that some form of transfer is necessary. The elderly and sick, for example, must have their means of support organised in a way other than via the public transfers under investigation. This article shows that when using an adequate alternative for comparison, social policy impact on income distribution is significantly smaller.
