This paper focuses on the effects of sanctions on Swedish firms' sales across markets, as well as sanctions’ effects on their domestic production. As a case study, the paper uses sanctions imposed on Russia and by Russia in 2014. The results suggest that the total costs of these sanctions due to a drop in sales for Swedish firms amounts to around 1 billion SEK in 2013 prices, which implies a rathe
The finance literature offers ambiguous predictions about the impact of lending relationships on the share retained by lead arrangers in syndicated loans. While some literature indicates that lending relationships can help to alleviate post contractual agency conflicts, others imply that relationship lead arrangers may use their information advantage to exploit syndicate participants. Using syndic
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
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
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

Motivating head movement: The case of negative inversion in West Texas English Sabina Matyiku (sabina.matyiku@yale.edu) Yale University Negative inversion (or Declarative Negative Auxiliary Inversion) is a phenomenon present in some varieties of North American English such as African American English, Appalachian English, and West Texas English (WTE). Constructions exhibiting negative inversion ar
The decarbonization of the energy-intensive and natural-resourced-based industries is associated with large economic costs. In this paper, I explore how decarbonization may affect the profitability and market value of these industries and their ability to attract capital to fund their decarbonization. I also discuss the possibility of compensating for the investment costs through higher prices and
Using data from 27 sub-Saharan African countries, I identify the causal effect of sibling gender on education and how it varies according to inheritance customs. Boys who inherit their father's property experience no effect of sibling gender, while boys who do not inherit experience a significant negative effect of having a brother. Having a brother has a small negative effect on the education of
How do people assess risks associated with a hedonic but dangerous activity? I conduct a longitudinal field experiment (N=434) exploiting the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic to investigate whether monetary incentives induce people to motivate their risk assessments. Each participant receives a café voucher with a random value: treated participants receive a 10EUR voucher, and the control group
We revisit and substantially extend the evidence on the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We first successfully replicate the estimate of a positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. We then extend the analysis to data from other international student assessments an
Här redovisas resultat och analyser från en webbaserad enkätundersökning som i april 2020 genomförts i fem statliga myndigheter: Arbetsförmedlingen, Energimyndigheten, Naturvårdsverket, DIGG Myndigheten för digital förvaltning och Trafikverket. Undersökningen är en första del i forskningsstudien; en uppföljande, andra enkät är planerad att skickas ut när restriktionerna på arbetsplatserna har lätt
We describe preliminary results of an acoustic-phonetic study of voice imitations, which is ultimately aimed towards developing an explanatory approach to similar-sounding voices. Such voices are readily obtained by way of imitations, which were elicited by asking an adult-male, professional imitator to utter two tokens of the Swedish word “hallå” in a telephone-answering situation and three Swedi
