Kan hela landet leva?

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Befolkningsfrågan handlar inte längre primärt om "stad eller land" utan om "hur många städer- och var". All landsbygd ingår i och är beroende av en eller flera stadsregioner. Tillgängligheten till städerna avgör nivån på service, inkomstutveckling och ekonomiska risker för de allra flesta i glesbygden. Om uttrycket "Hela Sverige ska leva" innebär att det ska bo människor inom till exempel varje kvadratkilometer har hela landet egentligen aldrig "levt". Sådana målsättningar leder till resonemang som varken är fruktbara eller rimliga. Felet är inte att man har en politisk uppfattning om befolkningens fördelning över landet. Problemet är att vi inte kan utvärdera om vi närmar oss eller avlägsnar oss från målet som det är formulerat idag. Därmed kan vi inte heller bedöma politikens kostnader och intäkter.

- When assessing infrastructure investment, it is crucial to forecast the flows on the links after the suggested improvements. In freight flow analysis, the impact on the flows in the network is conditional on the size of the investment and the complexity of the network. If the investment has a critical impact on the flows, the change may be substantial and hard to predict by linear models. In economic geography and regional economics, the gravity model has gained wide acceptance as a reasonable (although simple) model of spatial interaction between nodes in a network (Haynes and Fotheringham, 1984 or Sen and Smith, 1995).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Is it possible to identify regional differences among shippers in their valuation of infrastructure improvements? In this study, the question is analysed using a random utility approach, where parameters are estimated by a logit model. Data consist of a Swedish stated-preference study from 1992. The results indicate that regional differences exist, but that a considerable heterogeneity in the empirical data means that in some cases the results are not robust. However, when industrial mix, shipping distance, and goods values are held constant, the analysis still indicates the existence of regional differences. Independently of the limitations in the results, the study has implications for any infrastructure benefit analysis where parameters from spatial averages are used. The results are based on short-term decisions, and one should recognise that parameters may vary in the mid- and long-term.

The gross regional product in Swedish regions : a test of methods and regional subdivisions
- 2000

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden currently develops a system of regional accounts. The aim is to obtain policy andmarket relevant information on the spatial pattern of eecnornie activities. Initially, the GrossRegional Product (GRP) from the producer side was calculated at the county level in responseto the requests from BU. In this paper we analyse the impact on the overall picture of growthand income dispersion among Swedish regions, as shown by GRP, when the accountingmethod and the regional subdivision is changed. It is found that the county level currently infocus at the NUTS regional subdivision used by BU hides a more interesting and policyrelevant pattern of regional incomes among Swedish regions with another regional division.

Management of cultural heritage for growth - preservation in search for user values
- 2004
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objects and environments related to cultural heritage have attained an increased interest in policies for regional growth. Heritage management is then not only considered as a preservation of history but a resource and an asset for creation of attractiveness and development. In Sweden, this change is in accordance with the ongoing transformation of the national regional policy, where initiatives are delegated to the regions. The transformation is moreover, in accordance with aims in the European union, where cohesion money is directed towards the regional level. However, historically preservation of cultural heritage has been a national interest and although it formally is delegated to counties, management still is dominated by traditional values, perspectives, and methods developed for the national heritage. This paper presents a study among administrators of cultural heritage at the regional level, county antiquarians, that indicate how lack of theory, empirical examples, evaluation, as well as basic knowledge on regional development, add confusion to the debate between heritage interests and actors from industry, housing, politics, and other parts of public administration. Ambitions to develop cultural tourism and attractive housing highlight conflicts between preservation perspectives and commercial interests. While developing a language for the analyses of relations between cultural heritage and regional development, taking care of the spatial context a heritage object is located in, it is here argued for further introduction of methods of regional analysis and policy evaluation in the management of cultural heritage. Such methods and languages may improve the basis for negotiations between conflicting interests.
