  • Comments on Søren Bo Nielsen, Poul Schou and Jacob Krog Søbygaard: Elements of Income Tax Evasion and Avoidance in Denmark Fredrik Andersson*
    SWEDISH ECONOMIC POLICY REVIEW 9 (2002) 165-169 Comments on Søren Bo Nielsen, Poul Schou and Jacob Krog Søbygaard: Elements of income tax evasion and avoidance in Denmark Fredrik Andersson* The task of discussing a paper is, to some extent, facilitated, but also hampered, by really enjoying the paper and the work behind it. Such is the case with the paper by Nielsen, Schou and Søbygaard. The au- thors make a pertinent contribution to the discussion of tax evasion and tax avoidance. In more specific terms, they provide some general discussion and explore two issues quite thoroughly. First, they exploit the relationship between the tax base for income taxation and the tax base for consumption taxation in order to indirectly identify an an- ticipated shortfall in the tax base for income taxation. Their conclu- sion is that there is indeed such a shortfall in the range 1.8-3.6 per cent of GDP. Second, the authors explore migration out of and into Denmark in order to assess whether such migration threatens the per- sonal-income-tax base. They conclude that the evidence does not in- dicate the existence of a serious threat in this regard. The paper takes on important aspects of tax evasion and tax avoidance. The conclusions drawn are corroborated by solid empirical evidence, and as regards the basic analysis of the paper, I have found it very hard to mount any criticism. Nevertheless, I have some com- ments, and in the following, I will start by providing some general comments, and then proceed to painting a somewhat more pessimis- tic picture regarding the pressures likely to be exerted on the tax bases in Scandinavia by the mobility of skilled labour.

  • Language and Culture in Norway
    LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN NORWAY EVAMAAGER0 Vestfold University College, Faculty of Education, Tjilnsberg (Noruega) PRESENTACIÓN Eva Maagerjil es profesora de lengua de la Universidad de Vestfold en Noruega. La Universidad de Valencia tiene establecido con esta universidad un convenio de intercambio de alumnos y profesores dentro del programa Sócrates-Erasmus. En este contexto hemos entablado relaciones prometedoras con profesores del área de lengua y literatura de dicha institución y estamos estudiando la puesta en marcha de un grupo conjunto de trabajo en tomo al bilingüismo. En una reciente visita a Valencia la profesora Maagerjil impartió una conferen­ cia sobre la diversidad lingüística y cultural en Noruega y su tratamiento en la escuela. En Noruega conviven diversos dialectos orales del noruego junto con dos versiones oficiales de lengua escrita y dos lenguas no indoeuropeas de las minorías étnicas lapona y finlandesa, a las que hay que añadir las múltiples len­ guas de las minorías de inmigrantes. El interés del tema, la singularidad del caso noruego y la oportunidad de estar preparando este número monográfico de Lenguaje y textos nos movieron a pedirle un artículo para incluir en nuestra revista. Creemos que puede constituir una interesante contribución al debate en tomo al tratamiento de la diversidad lingüística y cultural. Departamento de Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura.

Personal Names . 42 I. INTRODUCTION Swedish American studies, including local history and genealogy, are among the best documented immigrant studies in the United States. This is the result of the Swedish genius for documenting almost every aspect of life from birth to death. They have, in fact, created and retained documents that Americans would never think of looking for, such as certificates of change of employment, of change of address, military records relating whether a soldier's horse was properly equipped, and more common events such as marriage, emigration, and death. When immigrants arrived in the United States and found that they were not bound to the single state religion into which they had been born, the Swedish church split into many denominations that emphasized one or another aspect of religion and culture. Some required children to study the mother tongue in Saturday classes, others did not. Some, more liberal than European Swedish Lutheranism, permitted freedom of religion in the new country and even allowed sects to flourish that had been banned in Sweden.

The article provides an overview of the history and current status of using the Scandinavian languages and English is given, as well as the description of the current language situation. The study concentrates on the topic as viewed by researchers, performing artists, politicians, journalists and celebrities of the Nordic countries, which confirms the relevance of ongoing debate about pros and cons of using Scandinavian or English in academic, political and everyday contexts. The article examines, inter alia, the use of Scandinavian and English in the Nordic countries in close connection with the institutionalized political cooperation that took shape in the 20th century. This cooperation is carried out mainly within the framework of the Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers. The institutionalization of cooperation resulted, among other things, in adoption of a number of strategic documents on language cooperation, such as the Declaration on a Nordic Language Policy and Nordic Language Convention. Since the article is an overview rather than an empirical study, and taking into account the relevance of the topic, further empirical research is proposed to identify trends in the attitudes of a wide range of respondents from the Nordic countries to the use of the Scandinavian and English languages in professional, cultural and everyday activities.

Tips on Name and Place Spellings Spellings are shown as they are in the books, even if they have changed over the years. The spellings of Swedish place names in these books were sometimes old spellings, phonetic, or even erroneous. Remember to look for Carlson starting with both “C” and “K.” “V” & “W” are also interchangeable, as are sometimes “S” and “Z.” Some parish names beginning with “V” used to start with a silent “H,” so you might find Vetlanda under Hvetlanda or even Hwetlanda. Swedish vowels å, ä, and ö fall at the end of the alphabet, but our database does not sort them that way, so look for your Åbergs with “A” instead of after “Z.” How to Search Use CTRL+F to search for specific text (Mac users use Apple+F).
