Wage Indexation, the Scandinavian Model and Macroeconomic Stability
- 1979
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The article analyzes wage indexation in an open economy as a means of promoting macroeconomic stability in the case of domestic demand and foreign price shocks. Employment can be stabilized by linking wages to an index of both traded and non-traded goods. But this index is not likely to coincide with the producer or the consumer price index. A "Scandinavian" wage indexation-linking wages to the price of traded goods only as in the Scandinavian model of wage formation - minimizes the effects in the trade balance but does this at the cost of variations in total employment.

Highly efficient periodically poled KTP-isomorphs with large apertures and extreme domain aspect-ratios

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Since the early 1990's, a substantial effort has been devoted to the development of quasi-phased-matched (QPM) nonlinear devices, not only in ferroelectric oxides like LiNbO3, LiTaO3 and KTiOPO4 (KTP), but also in semiconductors as GaAs, and GaP. The technology to implement QPM structures in ferroelectric oxides has by now matured enough to satisfy the most basic frequency-conversion schemes without substantial modification of the poling procedures. Here, we present a qualitative leap in periodic poling techniques that allows us to demonstrate devices and frequency conversion schemes that were deemed unfeasible just a few years ago. Thanks to our short-pulse poling and coercive-field engineering techniques, we are able to demonstrate large aperture (5 mm) periodically poled Rb-doped KTP devices with a highly-uniform conversion efficiency over the whole aperture. These devices allow parametric conversion with energies larger than 60 mJ. Moreover, by employing our coercive-field engineering technique we fabricate highlyefficient sub-μm periodically poled devices, with periodicities as short as 500 nm, uniform over 1 mm-Thick crystals, which allow us to realize mirrorless optical parametric oscillators with counter-propagating signal and idler waves. These novel devices present unique spectral and tuning properties, superior to those of conventional OPOs. Furthermore, our techniques are compatible with KTA, a KTP isomorph with extended transparency in the mid-IR range. We demonstrate that our highly-efficient PPKTA is superior both for mid-IR and for green light generation-as a result of improved transmission properties in the visible range. Our KTP-isomorph poling techniques leading to highly-efficient QPM devices will be presented. Their optical performance and attractive damage thresholds will be discussed.

Discount Window Borrowing and Money Market Interest Rates
- 1989
-
In: Scandinavian Journal of Economics. - : Wiley: 24 months. - 1467-9442 .- 0347-0520. ; 91:3, s. 517-533
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper introduces a coherent framework for analyzing the role of discount window aspects of monetary policy. It deals explicitly with discount window regimes used by European central banks. In many European countries, commercial banks have virtually limited access to borrowed reserves. The framework is used to analyze what this feature means for the effects of policy instruments and exogenous shocks.

The SSEM Model : A Brief Description
- 1982
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This short paper presents the main features of a new minimal model of the Swedish economy that is currently being developed at the Stockholm School of Economics. Both the model and the results presented are to be regarded as preliminary, since the work on the model is still in progress. During the 1950's and 60's econometric model building was predominantly directed toward the construction of large-scale models. One may say that the general attitude was that sifficiently detailed and elaborated models could help solving most problems in policy analysis and forecasting. With the more unstable economics conditions of the 1970's many large-scale models ran into serious trouble. The size of the models made it difficult to see what went wrong. The need for econometric models that are more closely linked to recent work in macro theory has stimulated work with small-scale, ghighly aggregative econometric models with strong emphasis on their theoretical underpinnings. The work with the SSEM model can be said to have got its inspiration from this development. In structure and in specification, the model is similar to work initiated at the London School of Economics by A R Bergstrom et al. Examples of this type of model can be found in Bergstrom and Wymer (1974), Jonson (1976b) and Knight and Wymer (1978). Jonson has continued this work at the Reserve Bank of Australia, where he has been rsponsible fot the development of the RBA model of Australia.

Tvångsinlösen
- 2007
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Swedish Companies’ Act contains regulations that, in brief, gives a party who directly or indirectly owns more than 90 percent of the shares in a corporation the right and obligation to purchase the remainder of the shares.This set of regulations is in Swedish most often referred to as tvångsinlösen or in English compulsory share purchase.The thesis has two primary objectives. The first is to determine the current state of the law with respect to the central aspects of compulsory share purchase. The other is to analyze and evaluate, independent of the legal sources, the current law’s function and formation as well as propose changes in its formation.Four questions are primarily treated in the analysis of the current law in this thesis, namely; a. what are the conditions for a compulsory share purchase, b. how is a dispute concerning compulsory share purchase formed and what effects does it have, c. how is the purchase price to be determined, as well as d. how do compulsory share purchase function as minority shareholder protection? The functional approach to a great extent is based on an economic analysis of corporate law in general and the compulsory share purchase situation in particular. The economic analysis has two objectives, to give a background and understanding for the review of the current law and also to serve as a basis for the evaluation of the current law and an analysis of how the law can be changed in order to constitute a better means for reaching the economic objectives underlying the institution. It therefore follows that the economic analysis is not invoked in order to establish that which is the current law.
