Preface While it is generally acknowledged that writing a doctoral dissertation is a solitary exercition, this was more true than ever before during the year 2020, in which a global pandemic forced the entire university to close down and all academics had to work from home. Notwithstanding these exceptional circumstances, my personal journey towards this PhD was never truly lonely. When I first arrived in Tilburg in 2018, I could never have imagined that a medieval historian would have integrated into the world of legal studies as easily I was able to do thanks to the kind and friendly bunch of colleagues that I encountered in our PhD-room. Danse, Jin, Annemarie, Gijs, Sophia, and of course my fellow team-members Remko, Marta and Ilya; thanks for your companionship, the many lunches, reading groups and the occasional dinner we shared. Marco, Manon, Josje, Pieter and Gijs, thanks for the stimulating conversations and fun we shared during conferences, meetings and other events. Inge, many thanks for our great teaching collaborations. I am especially grateful to my promotores, Randall Lesaffer and Dave De ruysscher, who provided me with the great opportunity to further my academic carreer here in Tilburg. Dave, I thank you for introducing me to academic teaching, stimulating me to publish, network and generally guide me towards becoming an independent academic. I thank professors Oscar Gelderblom, Thomas Safley and Maarten Prak for stimulating conversations about this project. I would also like to express my deep appreciation for my teachers and professors at the universities of Leiden and St. Andrews. I especially thank professor Peter Hoppenbrouwers and dr. Robert Stein, whom I regard as my academic mentors, for learning me all the basic skills of the historical profession and much besides. I would also like to thank the staff of the Tilburg University Library, who processed numerous IBL requests, and most of all the staff of the Amsterdam Stadsarchief, without whose digitization services it would have been impossible to complete this project. I thank the dear friends I feel privileged to have become acquainted with, both in Leiden and in other places, for their companionship; even if in some cases we have not met in real life for a long time due to the current pandemic, I really appreciate our staying in touch. Most of all, I thank my partner Rik. Without your love and support, I could never have managed to survive the lockdowns and finish this book. Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my dear parents, who have always stimulated and supported me in more ways than they probably realise. It is to them that I dedicate this book.

The Academy takes special responsibility for the natural sciences and mathematics, but endeavours to promote the exchange of ideas between various disciplines. BOX 50005 (LILLA FRESCATIVÄGEN 4 A), SE-104 05 STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN TEL +46 8 673 95 00, [email protected] WWW.KVA.SE Scientific Background on the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2019 Understanding Development and Poverty Alleviation The Committee for the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel October 14, 2019 Despite massive progress in the past few decades, global poverty — in all its different dimensions — remains a broad and entrenched problem. For example, today, more than 700 million people subsist on extremely low incomes. Every year, five million children under five die of diseases that often could have been prevented or treated by a handful of proven interventions. Today, a large majority of children in low- and middle-income countries attend primary school, but many of them leave school lacking proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. How to effectively reduce global poverty remains one of humankind’s most pressing questions. It is also one of the biggest questions facing the discipline of economics since its very inception.

Guy Sébastien Antoine Rocourt 26 JUNI 2015 UVA GESCHIEDENIS, MASTERSCRIPTIE Studentnummer: 10900713 Mail: [email protected] Telefoonnummer: 023-5478355 Docenten: Geert H. Janssen en Femke A. Deen Voorwoord Geachte lezer, Na jaren van studie, waarin ik veel geleerd heb, is de tijd daar om een deel van deze kennis en vaardigheden met u te delen. De afgelopen jaren waren niet gemakkelijk voor mij. Hoewel geschiedenis mijn hobby en leven is, geldt dit niet voor het schrijven van werkstukken, verslagen en essays. De afgelopen jaren stonden dan ook veelvuldig in het teken van een levenslang gevecht met mijn handicaps: dyslexie en ADD. Dit gevecht kreeg dit jaar een drastische wending. Ik ging na mijn bachelor aan de VU mijn master aan de UVA volgen. Dit blijkt een van mijn beste keuzes uit mijn leven geweest te zijn, want met de positieve feedback en steun van onder andere Dr. Vincent Kuitenbrouwer, Prof. Geert Janssen, Dr. Maartje van Gelder en dr. Maaike van Berkel heb ik voor het eerst in mijn leven ook positieve ervaringen opgedaan met het schrijven van artikelen. Hoewel het verschil tussen de VU en UVA voor mij groot is geweest, wil ik in het bijzonder toch ook Prof. Koen Goudriaan bedanken. Hij heeft mij drie jaar op de VU onder zijn hoede genomen en gesteund. Naast de dankbetuiging naar de universitaire docenten, wil ik vooral mijn ouders bedanken omdat zij mijn hele leven een steun zijn geweest en altijd, zelfs tot 4 uur ’s nachts, klaar stonden.

  • Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics∗
    Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics Tim Besleyyand Torsten Perssonz November 2020 Abstract It is widely acknowledged that reducing the emissions of green- house gases is almost impossible without radical changes in consump- tion and production patterns. This paper examines the interdependent roles of changing environmental values, changing technologies, and the politics of environmental policy, in creating sustainable societal change. Complementarities that emerge naturally in our framework may generate a “climate trap,”where society does not transit towards lifestyles and technologies that are more friendly to the environment. We discuss a variety of forces that make the climate trap more or less avoidable, including lobbying by firms, private politics, motivated scientists, and (endogenous) subsidies to green innovation. We are grateful for perceptive comments by Philippe Aghion, David Baron, Xavier Jaravel, Bård Harstad, Elhanan Helpman, Gilat Levy, Linus Mattauch, and Jean Tirole, as well as participants in a Tsinghua University seminar, and LSE and Hong Kong University webinars. We also thank Azhar Hussain for research assistance. Financial support from the ERC and the Swedish Research Council is gratefully acknowledged. yLSE, [email protected]. zIIES, Stockholm University, [email protected] 1 1 Introduction What will it take to bring about the fourth industrial revolution that may be needed to save the planet? Such a revolution would require major structural changes in production as well as consumption patterns. Firms would have to invest on a large scale in technologies that generate lower greenhouse gas emissions, and households would have to consume goods that produce lower emissions. Already these observations suggest that the required transformation can be reinforced by a key complementarity, akin to the one associated with so- called platform technologies (Rochet and Tirole 2003).

  • 11 Corporate Governance
    144 11 Corporate governance MARJOLEIN ’T HART The Bank of Amsterdam´s commissioners: a strong network For almost 200 years, up to the 1780s, the Bank of Amsterdam operated to the great satisfaction of the mercantile elite. Its ability to earn and retain the confidence of the financial and commercial elite was highly dependent on its directors, the commissioners. An analysis of their backgrounds shows that many of them once held senior posts in the city council, although the number of political heavyweights decreased over time. The commissioners also took office at an increasingly younger age. After the first 50 years of the bank, they began to stay on in office longer, indicating a certain degree of professionalisation. The commissioners had excellent connections with stock exchange circles. The majority of them were merchants or bankers themselves, and they almost all had accounts with the bank. As a result, the commissioners formed a very strong network linking the city with the mercantile community. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 145 François Beeldsnijder, 1688-1765, iron merchant and commissioner of the Bank of Amsterdam for 15 years Jan Baptista Slicher; Amsterdam, 1689-1766, burgomaster, merchant, VOC director and commissioner of the Bank of Amsterdam for 16 years A REVOLUTIONARY PROPOSAL This was the first time that the commissioners of the On 6 June 1797, in the wake of revolutionary upheaval, Bank of Amsterdam had come in for such sharp criticism.

Over culturele elite Wie het geluk had om in 2004 – voor de restauratie - het Paleis op de Dam te bezoeken, heeft in de Burgerzaal een aantal marmeren bustes gezien. De kwaliteit van deze beelden en de allure van de twee verdieping hoge ontvangstruimte doen de bezoeker al heel snel vermoeden dat het hier om hooggeplaatste personen gaat. Het waren inderdaad portretbustes van Amsterdamse burgemeesters zoals De Graeff, Munter, Tulp en Witsen die zich als Romeinse senatoren lieten afbeelden. En juist dit soort figuren interesseren ons, zowel in historisch opzicht als ook vandaag de dag, getuige de enorme populariteit van de glossy societytijdschriften en dito columns in kranten. Waarom is dit, waarom willen we alles weten van mensen, die in de publieke belangstelling staan? Is het jaloezie of Figuur 2 Met de klok mee vanaf links onder de leedvermaak als een dergelijk persoon een faux pas maakt burgemeesters A.de Graeff, N.Tulp, J.Munter, of zijn we nieuwsgierig naar mensen die een bepaald N.Witsen rolmodel vormen? De neiging bestaat om deze personen hors categorie te beschouwen, die zich als elite kan onttrekken aan normen en waarden, die als het ware eigen regels kan vaststellen. Maar is het wel mogelijk om te spreken van publieke personen alsof zij een aparte categorie vormen, die als groep bestudeerd kan worden? Nu is dit laatste vraagstuk vermoedelijk gemakkelijker te beantwoorden als men de Gouden Eeuw in de Amsterdamse situatie onder de loep neemt.

  • Estimating Railway Ridership
    28-04-2016 Estimating Railway Ridership DEMAND FOR NEW RAILWAY STATIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS TSJIBBE HARTHOLT S1496352 COMMITTEE: K. GEURS (Chairman) University of Twente L. LA PAIX PUELLO University of Twente T. BRANDS Goudappel Coffeng 0 1 I. SUMMARY Demand estimation for new railway stations is an essential step in determining the feasibility of a new proposed railway stations. Multiple demand estimation models already exist. However these are not always accurate or freely available for use. Therefore a new demand estimation model was developed which is able to provide rail ridership estimations. Main question of this thesis that will be answered is: How can the daily number of passengers of a new train station be forecasted on the basis of departure station choice and network accessibility? Aim is to estimate a demand estimation model which is valid for the whole of the Netherlands and focusses on proposed sprinter train stations. Factors determining total rail ridership Rail ridership can be determined by three main factors: Built environment factors Socio-economic factors Network dependent factors Built environment factors are factors that describe the situation in the direct environment of the station. A subdivision can be made into station environment factors based on the three d’s as described by Cervero and Knockel-man (1997): o Density: Describing the amount of activities in the proximity of the station. This could be the e.g. number of jobs, number of students, shops or total population. o Diversity: describing the diversity of the activities that take place in the proximity of the station. o Design: variables describing the properties of a station (area) as a direct consequence of its design.
