Enabling a Global Vision for the Baltic cleantech industry 3 Foreword The Central Baltic INTERREG IV A project ‘Enabling a Global Vision for the Baltic Clean-tech industry’ (Global Vision) is a co-operation between teams in Estonia, Latvia and Sweden and runs from 2011 to 2013. The purpose is to en- courage business development, co-operation and to facilitate exports in clean technology firms in the three countries and also to suggest improvements in pub- lic policy. The project covers Estonia, Latvia and in Sweden the regions of Stock- holm, Örebro, Östergötland, Uppsala, Gävleborg, Södermanland, Västmanland. In principal the work is divided into three separate parts. First, analyses of exist- ing firms and policies are conducted with the aim of providing a roadmap for strengthening industry’s internationalisation activities. The second part consists of the development and delivery of tailored training for clean technology SMEs as well as trans-regional match-making activities. The third part is an assessment of existing regional relationships and networks with the aim of developing a joint trans-regional model for utilising such contacts for sales activities for the devel- opment of the clean-tech industry as well as suggestions of policy improvements. This report covers the first part – the analyses of regional clean technology indus- tries and their global market reach, and policy initiatives. The report is largely based on interviews with 95 companies in Sweden, Estonia and Latvia. The anal- yses cover economic-, social- and policy context, including human resources, infrastructure, business climate, support measures and related industries, as well as characteristics and dynamics of the clean technology companies. Each country chapter concludes with the synthesis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and related policy recommendations. The final editorial work was co-ordinated by Kaija Valdmaa and Tarmo Kalvet in close co-operation with Inga Brieze, Per Frankelius, Sanita Jankovska and Kirsten Krause.

  • Regional Disparity and Heterogeneous Income Effects of the Euro
    Better out than in? Regional disparity and heterogeneous income effects of the euro Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho1,∗ School of Economics, UNSW Business School, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Sally Wong2 Economic Analysis Department, Reserve Bank of Australia, Sydney, Australia February 14, 2021 Abstract This paper conducts a counterfactual analysis on the effect of adopting the euro on regional income and disparity within Denmark and Sweden. Using the synthetic control method, we find that Danish regions would have experienced small heterogeneous effects from adopting the euro in terms of GDP per capita, while all Swedish regions are better off without the euro with varying magnitudes. Adopting the euro would have decreased regional income disparity in Denmark, while the effect is ambiguous in Sweden due to greater convergence among non-capital regions but further divergence with Stockholm. The lower disparity observed across Danish regions and non-capital Swedish regions as a result of eurozone membership is primarily driven by losses suffered by high-income regions rather than from gains to low- income regions. These results highlight the cost of foregoing stabilisation tools such as an independent monetary policy and a floating exchange rate regime. For Sweden in particular, macroeconomic stability outweighs the potential efficiency gains from a common currency.

  • Regions and Cities at a Glance 2020
    Regions and Cities at a Glance 2020 provides a comprehensive assessment of how regions and cities across the OECD are progressing in a number of aspects connected to economic development, health, well-being and net zero-carbon transition. In the light of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the report analyses outcomes and drivers of social, economic and environmental resilience. Consult the full publication here. OECD REGIONS AND CITIES AT A GLANCE - COUNTRY NOTE SWEDEN A. Resilient regional societies B. Regional economic disparities and trends in productivity C. Well-being in regions D. Industrial transition in regions E. Transitioning to clean energy in regions F. Metropolitan trends in growth and sustainability The data in this note reflect different subnational geographic levels in OECD countries: • Regions are classified on two territorial levels reflecting the administrative organisation of countries: large regions (TL2) and small regions (TL3). Small regions are classified according to their access to metropolitan areas (see https://doi.org/10.1787/b902cc00-en). • Functional urban areas consists of cities – defined as densely populated local units with at least 50 000 inhabitants – and adjacent local units connected to the city (commuting zones) in terms of commuting flows (see https://doi.org/10.1787/d58cb34d-en). Metropolitan areas refer to functional urban areas above 250 000 inhabitants. Regions and Cities at a Glance 2020 Austria country note 2 A.

  • Homicide in Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden a First Study on the European Homicide Monitor Data
    Research Report 259/Finland Research Report 2011:15/Sweden Ho micide in F inl This report contains a comparative, descriptive analysis a of the 1577 homicide cases committed in Finland, Swe- nd , den and the Netherlands during the years 2003–2006. the Differences and similarities have been studied with N etherl regards to rates and structural characteristics, giving answers to the questions of where, when and how homi- a cide takes place as well as who the victims and perpetra- nds tors are. a nd Comparisons have been made possible due to the crea- Sw tion of a joint database on lethal violence among the eden three countries containing information about each case on both incident and individual level. By combin- ing these data, the foundations for a joint database on lethal violence among multiple European countries, here termed the European Homicide Monitor (EHM), has been created. The EHM provides a unique data source for research and could help both policy targeting and evaluating what works in homicide prevention. The project is financed by the EU and is a collaboration between the National Research Institute of Legal policy in Finland, the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Law of Leiden University in the Netherlands and the National Council for Crime Prevention in Sweden (lead partner).

  • Disposable Income in Scotland: How Does It Compare? David Bell
    Disposable Income in Scotland: How does it compare? David Bell Introduction The OECD has recently been putting its considerable statistical muscle behind collecting consistent measures not only for its member states, but also for the sub-central governments (provinces, regions, territories etc) that make up its members. It has produced a dataset which provides information on household disposable income per capita (HDIPC) for 362 sub-central governments within the OECD, covering 1.2billion inhabitants. This is an important indicator of the ability of households to meet their consumption needs. Household Disposable Income Per Capita (HDIPC) Household disposable income is the amount of money left with a household to spend on goods and services after taxes on income have been deducted and state benefits (e.g. housing benefit, the state pension) added. HDIPC is this measure expressed on a per capita basis. Dividing household disposable income by the average household size to give a per capita measure ensures comparability at the individual level because it corrects for country differences in the average size of a household. The OECD’s estimates of HDIPC therefore provide a useful comparator for the spending power of the average Scot relative to residents in other parts of the OECD. Other comparisons are available. Scottish Government estimates place Scotland 14th in the ranking of GDP per capita among OECD countries. This is based on Scotland being an independent state and therefore receiving a geographically based share of North Sea oil revenues. Disposable income is strongly correlated with GDP and with Gross National Income (GNI)12. But the correlation is by no means perfect.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Regional adjustment models are applied to explore causal interaction between two types of people distinguished by educational attainment, and two types of jobs, creative class jobs and other jobs. Data used are for labour market regions in Fin- land, Norway and Sweden from the 2000s. Creative class jobs follow people with high educational attainment (one way causation), but creative class jobs also follow other jobs and vice versa (circular causation). The results suggest that stimulat- ing creative class job growth could be accomplished through attracting people with higher education, but also through attracting other jobs with the added benefit that the initial stimulus would be reinforced through circular and cumulative causation between job creation in the two sectors. KEYWORDS creative class, regional adjustment, sectoral dynamics, Northern Europe JEL CLASSIFICATION C33, O18, R11 INTRODUCTION Is regional growth induced by labour demand or labour supply? A large body of literature, beginning with MUTH (1971) and expanding rapidly after CARLINO and MILLS (1987), has attempted to answer this question that is often more colloquially phrased in the words of STEINNES (1977): do `Jobs follow People' or do `People follow Jobs'? *Corresponding author.
