  • Does Infrastructure Pave the Way for Higher Property Demand?
    DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Uppsala University Bachelor thesis (C level) Author: Isak Myrestam Supervisor: Mattias Öhman Spring Term 2020 Does infrastructure pave the way for higher property demand? A difference-in-differences analysis of the effect of the Bothnia Line on real estate prices in Västerbotten Abstract This study explores the concept of improved train infrastructure in Sweden and how it affects the attractiveness of cities. The research uses a difference-in-differences model to determine whether the construction of the Bothnia Line in northern Sweden has had an impact on real estate prices in the municipalities Nordmaling and Robertsfors between 2008-2016. By employing the hedonic price model, the study finds evidence that house-specific factors such total house size in square meters, location near water and size of backyard all play a role in determining the final purchase price of houses in the two municipalities. However, the findings of this study do not indicate that the launch or the subsequent investments on the Bothnia Line has had any measurable impact on the real estate prices in the region. This is in line with previous research on the project. Keywords: Train infrastructure. Commuting. Real estate prices. Hedonic price model. 2 Table of contents 1.

  • Mot Framtiden På Gamla Spår? Regionala Intressegrupper Och Beslutsprocesser Kring Kustjärnvägarna I Norrland Under 1900-Talet
    Umeå Studies in Economic History 28 Mot framtiden på gamla spår? Regionala intressegrupper och beslutsprocesser kring kustjärnvägarna i Norrland under 1900-talet Fredrik Andersson Doktorsavhandling vid Umeå universitet 2004 Avhandlingen ingår i serien Umeå Studies in Economic History. Denna avhandling ingår i det av Kommunikationsforskningsberedningen fi- nansierade projektet Botniabanan – Från samhällsekonomiska kalkyler till re- aliserade effekter inom Umeå-Sundsvall-Örnsköldsvik-Sundsvall korridoren som bedrivits i samarbete mellan institutionerna för Ekonomisk historia och Kul- turgeografi samt CERUM, samtliga vid Umeå universitet. © 2004 Fredrik Andersson Sättning: Erik Lindenius Tryck: Print & Media, Umeå universitet Umeå 2004 ISBN 91-7305-627-8 ISSN 0347-254-X Förord ”Har du någonsin byggt eller igångsatt ett jernvägsföretag? Har du det så behöver jag ej tala om för Dig huru besvär och tråk är fören- adt dermed, men ha du det inte så giver jag Dig det vänliga rådet att låta bli, ty det är ohjelpligt tråkigt” (Arvid Lindman i brev till Per Eriksson 29 juni 1902) Processen att skriva en avhandling om regionala intressegrupper runt norr- ländska kustjärnvägar har tidvis kunnat liknas vid en underkapitaliserad, och därför notoriskt krokig, smalspårig järnväg. Därför är det nu, när slutstatio- nen verkar närma sig, särskilt angeläget att tacka de som sett till att jag kom- mit av perrongen, embarkerat doktorandtåget, undvikit det mesta av ”besvär och tråk” samt hittills undkommit värre urspårningar. Den första som förtjänar ett tack är min handledare docent Lena Anders- son-Skog. Hennes oefterhärmliga förmåga att kombinera piska med morot, samt skarpa förmåga att se igenom det lika dunkelt tänkta som skrivna, har varit instrumentellt i att få denna avhandling klar.
