The Political Opinions of Swedish Social Scientists
- 2009
-
In: Finnish economic papers. - 0784-5197. ; 22:2, s. 75-88
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We study the political opinions of Swedish social scientists in seven disciplines and find indications of a left‑right divide, with sociology and gender studies being the most left‑leaning disciplines, with business administration, economics, and law being the most right‑leaning ones, and with political science and economic history being located somewhere in between. This pattern is found when lookingat party preferences, left‑right self‑identification, and positions on economic policy issues. Overall, there is a slight dominance in sympathies for the right, although there are more academics to the left among those most involved in activities with a potential to influence decision‑makers.

A Statistical Analysis of Revisions of Swedish National Accounts Data
- 2017
-
In: Finnish economic papers. - : Taloustieteellinen Yhdistys. - 0784-5197. ; 28:1, s. 10-33
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, we study revisions of Swedish national accounts data. Three aspects of the revisions are considered: volatility, unbiasedness and forecast efficiency. Our results indicate that the properties of the revisions are more problematic for the production side than for the expenditure side. The high volatility of the revisions on the production side indicates that it is generally difficult to make clear cut statements concerning production across industries within the business sector based on the initial data release; it is also likely to make forecasting more difficult.

Inventory investment in Swedish manufacturing firms
- 1993
-
In: Finnish economic papers. - 0784-5197. ; 6:2, s. 96-107
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We derive optimal long-run inventory stocks of finished goods and input materials in a dynamic flexible accelerator model. The predictions are tested on aggregate Swedish manufacturing data using an error correction approach. Cointegration regressions yield stationary relationships and parameter estimates with signs predicted by theory. Error correction estimations show that inventories adjust to long-run levels in a year. The cross effect of excess material inventories on finished goods inventories is strong. Inventory investment subsidies significantly affect finished goods inventory investment. Input deliveries are slow to adjust to new output rates.

An Axiomatization of the Leontief Preferences
-
In: Finnish Economic Papers. - 0784-5197. ; 25:1, s. 20-27
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An axiomatic characterization of the well known Leontief preferences is given. The key axiom is upper consistency, which states that for any two bundles, another bundle is weakly preferred to at least one of them if and only if it is weakly preferred to the bundle that contains the least amount of each commodity in them.

Daily Distribution of Swedish OMX-Index Returns over Intraday-to-Intraday Time Intervals
- 1994
-
In: Finnish economic papers. - 0784-5197. ; 7, s. 3-16
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper examines the intradaily behaviour of the Swedish OMX stock index during the time period January 02 to December 30 1992. Daily 24-hour returns are calculated in 18 different time intervals during the day: open-to-open, intraday- to-intraday and close-to-close. Evidence of different OMX-return generating distributions is found. It is most striking when the distributions from the beginning and the end of the day are compared with the distributions terminating during the middle of the day. The evidence of differences in the variances and autocorrelations is supported by robust significance tests within a simplified setting of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation. The variances show a V-shaped pattern when they are plotted against the terminal time of the returns as international studies also have shown, whereas the autocorrelations behave almost in an opposite fashion, which is inconsistent with previous research. Since the series of interval returns are exposed to the same flow of information the differences must be due to microstructure effects. The friction in the market prices seems to be more severe at the beginning and at the end of the trading day than at times in between. This implies that there is comparatively more noise in the pricing process just after the opening and prior to the closing of the exchange.

Forecasting and Analysing Corporate Tax Revenues in Sweden Using Bayesian VAR Models
- 2017
-
In: Finnish economic papers. - 0784-5197. ; 28:1, s. 50-74
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Corporate tax revenue forecasts are important for governmental agencies, but are complicated to achieve with high precision and generally also difficult to connect to governments’ macroeconomic forecasts. This paper proposes a solution to these problems by decomposing corporate tax revenues and connecting the components to different determinants using Bayesian VAR models. Applied to Sweden, we find that most of the variation in forecasting errors of net operating surplus and net business income are attributable to shocks in factors identified in the literature, and that the forecasting performance is improved by conditioning on the macroeconomic development.
