State Sector Relocations in Sweden a Municipality-Level Panel Data Analysis on the Effects of Relocation on Regional Development State Sector Relocations in Sweden A Municipality-Level Panel Data Analysis on the Effects of Relocation on Regional Development Andreas Grennborg Author: Andreas Grennborg Supervisor: Örjan Pettersson Spring Term 2017 Master Thesis, 30 ECTS Master in Spatial Planning and Development, 120 ECTS Department of Geography and Economic History, Umeå University Abstract In this thesis, the effects that state sector relocations have on regional development in Sweden are investigated. In January 2017, a government report was released, suggesting the relocation of 10 000 state sector jobs from the capital of Stockholm to other parts of Sweden in order to enhance the preconditions for regional development in the destination localities. This thesis aims to investigate which effects that state sector relocations and state sector jobs have on regional development. Three determinants were used to find these effects: the share of state sector employees, the state sector employee growth rate and a dummy variable which denoted four separate occasions of larger relocations. Three of those relocations were executed as a compensation for military base closures. With a fixed effect panel data analysis, it was possible to investigate the effects of these three determinants and a number of control variables on two regional development variables: average income growth and net migration rate. The data used consists of panel data for the years 2006-2015 on a municipality level, with 264 included municipalities, in Sweden and derived from Statistics Sweden. The results showed that the state sector employee growth rate-variable had a positive effect on average income growth. However, the state sector relocation dummy had a negative effect on average income growth. These contradictory results, might be due to the military base closures which occurred a couple of years before the relocations, blurring the positive effects from the relocations. The state sector job-variables had no significant effect on net migration rate, and no obvious long-term effects were found as the share of state sector employees did not show any significant effects on average income growth. Keywords: State sector relocation, Regional development, New economic geography, New regionalism, Endogenous growth, Panel data ii Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Örjan Pettersson, for great feedback and Lina Bjerke at the Swedish Board of Agriculture for ideas on topics. Furthermore, I want to give my appreciations to my class mates for providing a good study atmosphere. I also want to thank Elin for personal support in the struggle of writing the thesis. iii List of Contents 1 Introduction

1 Introduction In January 2017, a government report on how to enhance the preconditions for regional development in the rural parts of Sweden, called For Sweden’s rural areas – comprehensive policies for labor, sustainable growth and welfare, was released (Swedish Government Official Reports, 2017). The issues of unequal regional development in Sweden have been raised in different forms since the 1960s. At that time, the main problem was based on unequal access to labor, where large parts of Sweden had a shortage in labor force, while some parts had too much labor. During the 1970s, regional balance became the

  • Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency
    Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency Jenny Nilsson, Linköping University Anders Mårtensson, Linköping University ABSTRACT Swedish law requires local authorities to have a municipal energy plan. Each municipal government is required to prepare and maintain a plan for the supply, distribution, and use of energy. Whether the municipal energy plans have contributed to or preferably controlled the development of local energy systems is unclear. In the research project “Strategic Environmental Assessment of Local Energy Systems,” financed by the Swedish National Energy Administration, the municipal energy plan as a tool for controlling energy use and the efficiency of the local energy system is studied. In an introductory study, twelve municipal energy plans for the county of Östergötland in southern Sweden have been analyzed. This paper presents and discusses results and conclusions regarding municipal strategies for energy efficiency based on the introductory study. Introduction Energy Efficiency and Swedish Municipalities Opportunities for improving the efficiency of Swedish energy systems have been emphasized in several reports such as a recent study made for the Swedish government (SOU 2001). Although work for effective energy use has been carried out in Sweden for 30 years, the calculated remaining potential for energy savings is still high. However, there have been changes in the energy system. For example, industry has slightly increased the total energy use, but their use of oil has been reduced by two-thirds since 1970. Meanwhile, the production in the industry has increased by almost 50%. This means that energy efficiency in the industry is much higher today than in the 1970s (Table 1).
