  • Growth and Ineqaulity in Danish Municipalities
    Income Growth and Income Inequality in Danish Municipalities BACHELOR THESIS WITHIN: Economics BACHELOR THESIS NUMBER OF CREDITS: 15 ECTS THESIS WITHIN: Economics PROGRAMME OF STUDY: International Economics and Policy NUMBER OF CREDITS: 15hp AUTHOR: Mattias Lindell PROGRAMME OF STUDY: International Economics and Policy JÖNKÖPING December 2017 AUTHOR: Mattias Lindell SUPERVISOR: Michael Olsson 0 JÖNKÖPING December, 2017 I Bachelor Thesis in Economics Title: Income Growth and Inequality in Danish Municipalities Authors: Mattias Lindell Tutor: Michael Olsson Date: 2018-01-01 Income inequality, Gini coefficient, income growth, regional economics, Denmark Abstract Income growth and income inequality is an important theme in Economic research. It has been debated for decades whether income inequality hinders or enhances income growth. One of the classic models of this relationship was the Kuzenets curve which shows inequality against income per capita can be defined by an inverted U-shaped curve, over a period of time. The purpose of the paper is to see to see the relationship between income growth and inequality on a municipality level. To do this, four econometric panel data models were constructed with data gathered from Statbank Denmark. Log of income was used as the dependent variable and different measures of inequality were used as independent variables among other variables (public expenditure, education, population density, demographic composition, taxation). Results from these models show how income growth is positively related to income inequality, with vastly higher growth at the top end of the income distribution in Denmark. The implications of these findings can show that a trade-off between income inequality and income growth is not true, and it is possible that both variables work in tandem.

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change.

This paper represents an attempt to explore in a qualitative way how the microstructure of public private innovation networks in public services (ServPPINs) can be understood. The paper uses the concepts of sensemaking and weak cues from the sensemaking literature to explain how these ServPPINs manage to take care of development and change (Weick 1979, 1995).
