Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hayek sees poverty in its absolute sense as a factual problem, which the society has an obligation to deal with. Relative poverty, on the other hand, is not a problem with which the state should be concerned. Hayek approves the use of redistribution to decrease absolute poverty. However, redistribution of income for the sake of greater material equality would necessarily imply unequal treatment of men. This means that individuals will be used to fulfill the aims of other individuals; they will not be free. To Hayek, this is inacceptable. Other than the helping of the deserving poor to overcome poverty in its absolute sense, Hayek did not write much on poverty. The explanation for that is that Hayek viewed the problem of poverty mostly as a problem of the absence of prosperity. To Hayek, there is only one way to abolish poverty in the long run, and it is to make the society generally prosperous. A prosperous society is a society in continuous progress where all knowledge is put to its best use. Only in a free society, where the reward for supplying a good or service corresponds to the value it has to other individuals, will all knowledge come to use.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book provides presentation of the work of the economists who received the 2019 Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It deals almost exclusively with poverty within a nation, with the situation of individuals in society. The book explores the perspective to a comparison between nations, rich versus poor nations, and to the mechanisms which make for differences between national income levels. It identifies and examines what he had to say about the nature, origin, and possible solution of poverty. The book discusses poverty in the context of criticism of socialism, and the authors explain why this is so. It provides a discussion of the causes of poverty and its possible remedies, according to Hayek.

Capability deprivation and poverty : Amartya sen revisited
- 2021

In: Poverty in Contemporary Economic Thought. - First Edition. | New York : Routledge, 2021. | : Routledge. - 9780367354268 - 9781000368291 ; , s. 158-171

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The strength of Sen’s concept of poverty lies in the fact that it goes beyond the traditional concepts of poverty and is able to grasp the complexity of poverty. At the same time, the strength of Sen’s concept of poverty is also its weakness. It is very abstract indeed. Income does not tell us much about poverty according to the capability deprivation approach since poverty is more than being short of money or about income inequalities. However, while income plays an important role in achieving capabilities, it is the capability sets of different persons that should be compared with each other to see what real opportunities different persons actually have. Adam Smith and the classical economics have had a strong influence on Sen, something which he admits himself. Sen follows the Smithian tradition arguing that poverty should mainly be fought by the market mechanisms, complemented by public action. In addition, John Rawls has had significant influence on Sen’s notion of social justice. Partly in opposition to Rawls’ theory of social justice, Sen presents his own theory of justice, based not only on his previous work in welfare economics and social choice theory, but also on his philosophical thoughts. Institutions and processes in which the individual’s capabilities (including human rights) are in focus. The impact of Sen’s ideas on policies on how to fight poverty, capability deprivation, and social injustices is against mainstream economics: social reforms-such as improvements in education and public health-must precede economic reform. His views encourage policy makers to pay attention not only to alleviating immediate suffering but also to finding ways to replace the lost income of the poor-for example through public works.

How to measure the impact of place marketing activities : a methodological discussion
- 2020

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper aims to explicate and discuss the main methods of measuring the effects of place marketing. Rather than favouring one method over another a priori, we seek to understand each method on its own terms in order to illuminate key assumptions and hypotheses. Additionally, we compare and contrast the different methods to reveal areas of logical inconsistency.Generally, the impact of place marketing activities is dominated by fragmented, often single case studies, analysed using qualitative methods. The methods hitherto developed to measure the effect of place marketing activities posit causal mechanisms in line with simple ex ante/ex post comparisons. As place marketing appears to be ‘political’ and policy oriented, the need to understand what happens in the policy process and the context in which marketing activities take place is paramount, we need to unfold the political process so as to understand why and how some place marketing activities work, and others do not.

The Impact of Immigrant Entrepreneurship on Regional Development in Western Sweden
- 2018
-
In: Romanian Journal of Regional Science. - Bucharest : Regional Science Association. - 1843-8520. ; 12:1, s. 18-42
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses how immigrant entrepreneurship impacts regional development. Three towns in Western Sweden are analysed,using unique data on company start-ups at a local level. The findings suggest that immigrant entrepreneurs are overrepresented in the start-ups of labour intensive and low productive businessesin the service sector. Such entrepreneurship does not promoteregional development, but it may get the entrepreneur out of thereliance onwelfare schemes and meet theirbills. Resultantly, the region appears to be caught in a vicious circle of underdevelopment, whereincompanies started by immigrant entrepreneurs experience a limited market expansion, and this leads to low savings,low consumption, reduced stock of capital in the economy,and low income.Thispaper offers important insights on how theory and results that stem from an aggregate national level may differ when entrepreneurship is analysed at a local level. It concludes that what works well and promotes regional development in metropolitan areas may lead to completely different outcomes in smaller towns in decaying industrial regions.

Against all Odds? Applying the ‘5P’-Model in Place Marketing of Peripheral Areas
- 2017
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The lack of accessibility to markets determines the absolute and relative competitiveness of peripheral regions. The combination of low population density and huge distances makes it difficult to achieve any economies of scale in terms of service provision, transport, ICT etc. in (spatially) peripheral regions. The concept of ‘aspatial peripherality’ describe regions with poor knowledge resources, e.g. poor quality of the local information technology infrastructure and no access or poor access to local, national and global institutional structures and networks. Limited resources makes some sort of public action a necessity; both types of peripherality have difficulties in attracting investments, business, residents or tourists. By applying place marketing strategies to such areas these above mentioned challenges can be met.This paper aims to discuss the applicability of the 5P marketing model (place, product, price, promotion, people) in place marketing of peripheral regions. This study offers a theoretical discussion and will explore new routes of using this model in place marketing. In relation to this, policy implications of its implementation to peripheral areas will be discussed.The findings indicate that the classical 5P marketing model offers a good point of departure in place marketing of peripheral areas, partly because of its ability to structure the work and identify areas of improvement. This applies for all possible target groups. Marketing activities need however to be designed differently for every target group and this paper offers some theoretical schemes to illustrate this. A policy finding when applying the 5P marketing model in peripheral areas is that the government needs to actively contribute - which is not the same as paying for everything! - to overcome e.g. the relatively bad accessibility and poor knowledge resources. Without an explicit long term commitment by the government, the market actors will feel uncertain about investing in peripheral areas.

How to measure the impact of place-marketing activities
- 2018
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This paper aims to explicate and integrate the main methods of measuring the effects of place marketing. Rather than favouring one method over another a priori, we seek to understand each model on its own terms in order to illuminate key assumptions and hypotheses. Only after each method has been considered separately do we compare and contrast the different methods to provide a sound basis for evaluating the models measuring the effects of place marketing activities empirically.Generally, the methods hitherto developed to measure the effect of place marketing activities posit causal mechanisms in line with the ‘quasi-experimental’ evaluation model or are simple ex ante/ex post comparisons. This finding has implications for the formulation of place marketing activities. Depending on what method is used under what circumstances, the effects of place marketing activities will differ. The paper suggests a model for evaluating the impact of place marketing activities.

Public Diplomacy, Place Branding, and Refugee Settlement
- 2021
-
In: 5th Annual Conference International Place Branding Association. - : Documenta Universitaria. - 9788499845838 ; , s. 133-139
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BackgroundNowadays, not only countries but also cities and regions communicate directly with residents in other countries using public diplomacy. Public diplomacy includes all official efforts to convince targeted sectors of foreign opinion to support or tolerate the strategic objectives of the government of a state, region or city. By branding your place to residents in other countries, you can make your place an attractive place to move to. On the other hand, you can also demolish your place brand reputation among other target groups and stakeholders.AimThis paper aims at discussing the role of public diplomacy in place branding for attracting new residents. We will focus on refugees. Once the refugees have obtained the right to stay in Sweden, they have the right to settle down wherever they want. However, they do not settle down in different parts of Sweden by random, but as a response to municipal public diplomacy communication strategies in branding places.DesignWe use an exploratory case study design to discuss how the two cities Borlänge and Malmö work with public diplomacy and place branding in attracting refugees to settle down in these cities. Both cities relied on immigrant labour but entered a painful deindustrialisation process in the late 1970s. However, in the 1990s the cities’ development took different turns. We develop a conceptual framework based on public diplomacy and place branding. The empirical material is based on policy documents decided by the respective city halls, statistics from Statistics Sweden and previous research.FindingsThe place branding of Borlänge targets just the residents. For non-residents the brand is weak and for refugees unattractive. No public diplomacy communication is reported in the policy documents from Borlänge. Malmö works actively with place branding and public diplomacy to attract new residents from abroad, and refugees re-settling from other parts of Sweden. The city is seen as a multicultural and superdiverse, a city where natives are a minority population. Unfortunately, by targeting one group of new residents so hard makes Malmö unattractive for other potential target groups.Policy implicationsPublic diplomacy and place branding matters. Local and regional politicians can make their place attractive for new residents from other parts of Sweden as well as abroad, for labour migrants as well as refugees. It depends on the chosen target groups as well as place branding strategy. Place branding and public diplomacy are highly political activities and as such, they are political sensitive.

The Place Marketing Concept of Rural Municipalities in Northern Sweden : a Content Analysis of the Municipals' Homepages
- 2013
-
In: Romanian Journal of Regional Science. - Bucharest : Regional Science Association. - 1843-8520. ; 7:2, s. 11-36
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The place marketing concept is one of the most popular concepts used in the analysis and promotion of countries, regions, cities and towns. The intensification of competition for investment, tourism and human resources among European cities and towns has increased the importance of being unique. Most studies on place marketing focus on unique selling points and thus on brands of already extensively 'marketed' countries, national capitals and other large metropolitan areas, while the rural towns that need more marketing attention, given their need to overcome their lack of material and non-material resources, are often ignored. This is based on the idea of the promotion to target markets of the unique selling points of the town in question. This paper aims to discuss the extent to which the place marketing concept can be viewed as an essential tool in the effective promotion of 75 rural towns in the seven northernmost regions of Sweden. The paper outlines the reasons why rural towns in Northern Sweden should use place marketing. The article also highlights the basic features of the place marketing concept and its key elements for rural towns as well as describing the target audience for rural towns while identifying their specific needs and wants.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The place marketing concept is one of the popular concepts to analyze and promote countries, regions, cities and towns. The intensification of competition for investment, tourism and human resources among European cities and towns has increased the importance of being unique. Most of studies on place marketing however focus on the unique selling points and brands of countries, the capitals and the big cities, while rural towns need more marketing attention due to overcoming the lack of material and non-material resources in the towns. This is based on the idea of promotion to target markets of unique selling point of the town.This paper aims to discuss to what extent the place marketing concept as a necessary condition for an effective promotion of 75 rural towns in the seven northernmost regions in Sweden. The paper presents reasons for using the place marketing concept by rural towns in Northern Sweden. Also it contains features of the place marketing concept and its key elements for rural towns, describes the target audience for rural towns with their specific needs and wants.

Why urban and rural place marketing strategies differ : A theoretical discussion
- 2016
-
In: Romanian Journal of Regional Science. - Bucharest : Regional Science Association. - 1843-8520. ; 10:1, s. 23-42
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper promotes a theoretical discussion on the applicability of city marketing techniques when place marketing a rural area. The discussion focuses on the preconditions for successful place marketing in both cities and rural areas, illustrating how place marketing needs to be applied to be successful. The findings suggest that rural areas differ from cities and metropolitan areas – in terms of e.g. population, resources, vulnerability and resilience – thus making it difficult to essentially ‘copy-paste’ city marketing strategies and techniques onto rural areas. Place marketing has however become a lucrative area for private sector consultants uninterested in the time-consuming gathering of empirical evidence because their business model is based on reusing the same product. This paper offers important insights on the importance of theory when conducting place marketing; theorising successes and failures in place marketing could actually increase the efficiency of place marketing activities. For rural areas this could stimulate regional development.

Bidrag och motprestation : En uppföljning av sex stadsdelsområdens aktiveringsprogram för arbetslösa socialbidragstagare
- 2006
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Inom de flesta av Stockholm stads stadsdelsförvaltningar finns verksamheterdit arbetslösa som ansöker om socialbidrag hänvisas efter attde kontaktat socialtjänsten. De bidragssökande skall sedan under enviss tid delta i daglig verksamhet, så kallade aktiveringsprogram.Syftet med denna studie har varit att beskriva och följa upp arbetet idessa program inom sex stadsdelsförvaltningar. De centrala frågeställningarnai studien är:• Vad säger tidigare svensk respektive utländsk forskning påområdet?• Vilka skillnader och likheter finns mellan de olika stadsdelsområdena?• Hur arbetar man i stadsdelsförvaltningarna med arbetslösa socialbidragstagareoch hur motiverar man sitt arbetssätt?• Vilken syn har personal respektive chefer på verksamheten?• Hur upplever deltagarna i programmen hjälpen de får?• Vad är utfallet för arbetslösa socialbidragstagare som deltagit iaktiveringsprogrammen?För dessa ändamål har fyra enkätundersökningar genomförts och statistikur Stockholms stads register tagits fram och bearbetats.De sex stadsdelsområden som behandlas i studien är Vantör, Skärholmen,Kista, Hässelby-Vällingby, Rinkeby och Spånga-Tensta. Dessastadsdelsområden har i samtliga fall utom Hässelby-Vällingby likheteri form av relativt hög andel utrikes födda, högt bidragstagande,en problematisk arbetsmarknadssituation m.m. i förhållande till genomsnittet i Stockholms stad men skiljer sig också åt. De har, somvisats i studien, till viss del olika utgångslägen, där Rinkeby har den”svåraste” situationen. Jämför man utvecklingen av arbetslöshet ochsocialbidragsstagande över tid i de olika stadsdelsområdena finnerman att den ser ut på samma sätt, d.v.s. kurvorna som beskriver utvecklingenser likadana ut men ligger på olika nivåer. I samtligastadsdelsområden har antalet socialbidragstagare minskat sedan 1998.Men det finns även stora skillnader mellan stadsdelarna inom respektivestadsdelsområde.Verksamheterna för arbetslösa socialbidragstagare som bedrivs av desex stadsdelsförvaltningarna liknar varandra. Alla sex strävar efter attfå sina deltagare ut på arbetsmarknaden alternativt i studier för att nåegenförsörjning. Så skall fullmäktiges mål för minskat bidragstagandeoch ökad sysselsättning i staden förverkligas. Verksamheterna skiljersig åt när det gäller krav, avgränsning av målgrupp, omfattning påverksamheten och val av fokus i arbetet. Samtliga arbetar dock medaktivering via motivationsinsatser, stöd, råd och hjälp med att sökaarbete. I alla verksamheterna ställs krav på aktivt deltagande, mengraden av kontroll och sätt att kontrollera varierar. Bara ett fåtal verksamheterhar satt upp en tidsgräns för aktiveringen. Det går således ide flesta fall att i åtminstone teorin befinna sig i aktivering hur längesom helst som arbetslös socialbidragstagare.Som en del av studien har enkätundersökningar genomförts inom socialtjänstensenheter för ekonomiskt bistånd respektive arbetsmarknad,för att få personalens och chefernas perspektiv på den verksamhetde arbetar inom. Deras inställning sammanfaller i hög grad, enligt våraundersökningar. Det är den arbetslinje som formulerats i måldokumentensom gäller och personalen ser arbetet att motivera deltagarnaatt nå egenförsörjning som centralt. Deltagarnas bristande vilja attbryta sitt bidragstagande ses samtidigt som ett större problem blandpersonalen än bland cheferna.I samtliga sex stadsdelsområden får den som vill ansöka om socialbidragsin första kontakt med socialtjänsten via så kallade mottagningsenheter.I rapporten har en mindre undersökning genomförts för attbland annat se hur stor andel av dem som tar en initial kontakt medmottagningsenheterna som sedan går vidare med sin ansökan. Vår begränsade undersökning visar inget utmärkande hos de individer, enfjärdedel av de sökande, som avbryter sin ansökan direkt under denförsta kontakten med mottagningsenheterna. Då alla utom en som fullföljtsin socialbidragsansökan sedan också beviljats bidrag, verkarpersonalen på mottagningsenheterna vara väl insatta i vilka krav somställs för att klienten till sist ska erhålla försörjningsstöd.Efter inskrivning i aktivitet ställs olika krav på individen, exempelvisnärvaro på en viss plats under en viss tid, ett visst antal sökta jobb pervecka m.m. Det är rimligt att anta att individens motivation att delta iverksamheten och dennes syn på aktiviteten har påverkan på resultatetav aktiveringen. Därför har en enkätundersökning genomförts blanddeltagarna. Undersökningen visar i linje med tidigare forskning attdeltagarna har låga förväntningar på programmens förmåga att ökaderas chanser att få ett arbete. Samtidigt skulle en del delta även omprogrammen vore frivilliga, antagligen på grund av andra upplevdapositiva effekter av deltagandet.En del av socialbidragstagarna kommer att få arbete efter att ha genomgåttaktiveringsprogrammen, men det går inte att dra slutsatsen attenskilda deltagare fått arbete bara för att de lämnar verksamheten. Vidtill exempel studier, föräldraledighet eller flytt till ett annat stadsdelsområdelämnar deltagarna även den aktuella insatsen. För att kunnafölja deltagarna över tiden och se vart de tar vägen har Stockholmsstads egen statistik använts i en uppföljande registerundersökning.Undersökningen visar att knappt 21 % av deltagarna gått till egenförsörjningi form av arbete eller studier efter att ha avslutat sin aktivering.Då vår registerundersökning saknar jämförelsegrupper har det inte gåttatt beräkna några effekter av aktiveringen. Tidigare forskning på områdetär sparsam, i synnerhet i Sverige. Att döma av tidigare utvärderingarav aktivering, framförallt gjorda i USA, visar aktiveringsprograminga tydliga effekter för deltagarnas möjligheter att finna varaktigegenförsörjning. Vad som är en stor respektive god effekt förblir islutändan alltid en politisk fråga.Aktiveringsprogram verkar ha vunnit mycket popularitet runtom ivästvärlden genom sin politiska gångbarhet. De empiriskt belagda resultaten ger inget tydligt stöd för aktiveringsinsatserna. Bidragstagandethar minskat i de sex stadsdelsområden som studerats här mendenna trend är generell för Sverige och inleddes redan innan aktiveringsinsatsernasinförande. Dessutom kostar det att driva aktiveringsprogram.Hur stor roll makrofaktorer som högkonjunktur och socialpolitiskareformer spelar är oklart. Det behövs minst sagt mer forskningpå området.Tidigare arbetsmarknadspolitisk forskning visar att arbetsgivare verkarvara mer positivt inställda till dem som deltagit i statliga arbetsmarknadsåtgärder– särskilt till dem som genomgått AMU – än tillarbetssökande som ”bara” gått arbetslösa. Det kan ses som ett argumentför någon form av aktivering. I framtiden kan den centralt styrdaarbetsmarknadspolitiken förväntas flyta ihop med den lokala. En sådantrend kan redan skönjas såväl i Sverige som utomlands. Det kanleda till att alla arbetssökande inlemmas under det statliga arbetsmarknadspolitiskaansvaret. Det skulle i sin tur kunna innebära merresurser till och högre kvalitet på insatserna för framtida arbetssökandesocialbidragstagare.

The impact of aging on regional employment : Linking spatial econometrics and population projections for a scenario analysis of future labor market outcomes in the Nordic region
- 2014
-
In: Economics and Business Letters. - Oviedo, Spanien : Oviedo University Press. - 2254-4380. ; 3:4, s. 232-246
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ageing is a key challenge for many countries. The purpose of this paper is to simulate how ageing affects future regional labour market outcomes. We develop a simulation procedure based on data for 71 Nordic regions in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The procedure combines spatial econometrics and population projections for scenario analyses of future employment patterns up to 2021. Compared to a "benchmark scenario" based on projections of the working age population, we find that predicted regional labour market outcomes tell a much richer story if a combination of estimation results and population projections is used. To this end, our results can be helpful for economic policymaking, which is constantly in need of accurate regional labor market forecasts.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses the growing regional socio-economic disparity in Sweden and investigates two regions’ power relationship with the economically and politically dominant Stockholm region: one region with a negative economic trajectory and the other with a positive economic development over 25 years. The conceptual framework is based on the topography/topology nexus, using the key concepts of ‘reach out’ and ‘fold in’ in different resources. To enrich this framework, we incorporate two concepts in regional planning: ‘borrowed size’ and ‘agglomeration shadow’. The findings suggest that ‘reach out’ and ‘fold in’ explain why ‘borrowed size’ and ‘agglomeration shadow’ take place, or do not.

Cities and Economic Growth : A Review
- 2017

In: Social Science Spectrum. - 2454-2806. ; 3:1 March, s. 1-15

Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Presently, there is no single, coherent theory on the causality between cities and economic growth, only a fragmented set of theories. Current patterns and trends for the relationship between cities and economic growth, however, suggest that a full understanding of contemporary processes will not be achieved by relying on the tools of one discipline alone, or by focusing on a single level of analysis. The aim of this literature review is to examine the leading contemporary theories on the relationship between cities and economic growth. The relationship can work in several ways by focusing on: the impact of economic growth on cities, the impact of cities on economic growth, and cities as an intermediate link to economic growth. Most theories however focus on the impact cities have on economic growth. One conclusion is that economic activities and economic diversification occur before cities are formed; without them, cities are not needed and hence cannot promote economic growth. The paper also discusses the various policies and policy designs used to promote cities as well as economic growth.

European Types of Political and Territorial Organisation of Social Services of General Interest
- 2013
-
In: Romanian Journal of Regional Science. - 1843-8520. ; 7:special issue, s. 142-164
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is commonly understood across Europe that the provision of Social Services of General Interest (SSGI) is important. Several official documents guarantee every EU citizen access to, and the availability of, SSGI. Nevertheless, when it comes to producing, financing, administrating and territorially organising SSGI, the approaches and practices used across the various European states differ significantly while often mirroring the functioning of the social welfare and national administrative planning systems that prevail on the ground. The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic analysis of how European states (the EU 27 plus Croatia and the EFTA countries of Iceland, Norway and Switzerland) cope with the organisation of SSGI in the fields of education, care, labour market, social housing and insurance schemes. Outlining the similarities and differences of the various national approaches leads to the creation of a European typology of SSGI organisation. This typology will then be compared to existing typologies and classifications of social welfare and spatial planning systems.

Assessing Territorial Impact Assessment: The Case Of Services Of General Interest
- 2013
-
In: Romanian Journal of Regional Science. - 1843-8520. ; 7:June 15, s. 66-87
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- No single or common definition, or even a shared basic understanding, of Territorial Impact Assessment (TIA) currently exists. The conceptual background of TIA is focused on Territorial Cohesion (TC), which, in turn, also lacks a single definition. TC has a strong connection to Services of General Interest (SGI) as these services are a crucial element of the Cohesion Policy. This paper is a spin-off from the ESPON SeGI project and aims to discuss the applicability of TIA on SGI. The analysis is focused on an ex ante evaluation of TIA and on the methodology of critical evaluation. The findings suggest a rather limited applicability as an undefined concept (TIA) is based on another undefined concept (TC) to measure the impact on a third vaguely defined concept (SGI). Moreover, the particularities of each SGI may be related to economic and social changes that themselves may or may not be territorially reflected.
