This paper presents the features of a survey on Swedish firms’ export decisions conducted in February 2015 focusing on a sample of 10,000 small and medium-sized enterprises. The survey was divided into two major sections. The first section targeted all firms and focused on firms’ general situation (e.g. competition, type of co-operations, etc.). The second section focused on firms’ export decision
The effect of minimum wages on employment is a matter of debate, and the existing empirical literature contains mixed results. One reason for this is the methodological difficulties involved where changes in minimum wages are endogenous to other important economic changes. To overcome this problem, we examine exogenous changes to local minimum wages in Indonesia between 1989 and 1994. Our natural
This paper presents a combinatorial auction which is of particular interest when short completion times are of importance. It is based on a method for approximating the bidders' preferences over two types of items when complementarity between the two may exist. The resulting approximated preference relation is shown to be complete and transitive at any given price vector. It is shown that an appro

This study estimates the causal effect of receiving additional paid vacation days on health. Using register data on the universe of central government employees in Sweden, I exploit an age-based rule stipulated in the collective agreement covering these employees. Identification is achieved by combining a regression discontinuity with a difference-in-differences design to control for time-invarian
Case assignment and the linear order of coordinated verbs* Jim Wood Yale University Einar Freyr Sigurðsson The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies Oddur Snorrason Queen Mary University of London Abstract In this paper, we draw on corpus data to show that in Icelandic, verbs that assign distinct cases can be coordinated and share a single object: the verb on the right determines the case
Scandinavian is known to have vocative phrases that contain a possessive second person pronoun and a noun, and possibly also one or more adjectives, as in the Norwegian example din lille fjott, which means ‘you little dork’ although din is formally identical to the possessive pronoun for second person singular. In this paper, I will show that possessive predicational vocatives, as I call them, inv
WPSS artikel.dvi Relative clauses are not always strong islands∗ Filippa Lindahl University of Gothenburg Abstract Scandinavian relative clause extraction seems to violate purportedly universal locality con- ditions (i.e. the Complex NP Constraint (Ross 1967), Subjacency (Chomsky 1973) and the Phase Impenetrability Condition (Chomsky 2001)). Recent analyses of the construction rely on the assumpti

This paper investigates whether cultural gender norms about occupations, defi ned as asociety’s perception of what is appropriate work for men and women, contribute to persis-tent gender-stereotypical occupational choice. Using large-scale international survey dataand high-quality administrative records, I study whether second-generation immigrant men(women) are less likely to work in an occupation
Public spaces are increasingly becoming battlegrounds over collective identity, associeties revisit which figures deserve commemoration. The removal of statues andstreet names has become a powerful symbolic act, as for those attached to theselegacies, such changes may be seen as denying their group identity. This paperexamines the political consequences of such symbolic changes in the context of S
Recent studies find that higher degrees of democracy are related to higher levels of bureaucratic quality. However, they only offer limited explanations for this pattern based on a unidimensional understanding of democracy. We argue that future uncertainties as perceived by the incumbent, the opposition, and voters are important for why bureaucratic reform takes place. Therefore, we expect no unif
