  • Is a Strong Indigenous Industrial Base a Necessary Condition For
    Responding to the crisis: Are policies aimed at a strong indigenous industrial base a necessary condition for sustainable economic growth? Bernadette Andreosso-O’Callaghan and Helena Lenihan1 Abstract We examine whether a strong indigenous manufacturing base is a necessary condition for sustainable economic growth in the case of two small, open economies, Ireland and Sweden. Sweden has been impacted by the economic crisis to a lesser degree than Ireland; we explore (through a manufacturing activity lens) the reasons for the asymmetric impacts and ask if the nature of the shock is related to ‘Economic Sovereignty’ and to the type of industrial policy. We argue Sweden was less affected given that its indigenous firms control the highly export-focussed and technology- based engineering sector whereas in Ireland high-technology sectors are controlled by foreign firms. In terms of policy implications, we suggest that industrial policy should aim for sustainable economic activity and growth such that industrial activity within the economy should be able to minimise the impact of asymmetric shocks such as the current global economic recession. keywords: manufacturing base; economic vulnerability; shock; economic crisis; industrial policy. 1 Department of Economics, Kemmy Business School, University of Limerick, Ireland. Corresponding author.

Such developments have put into question the sustainability of Ireland’s industrial policy which, we argue, has focused most of its efforts on FDI/MNEs to the detriment of an indigenous (largely SME) sector.

  • Was Swedish Approach Regarding COVID-19 Successful in the Term of Economics?
    Was Swedish approach regarding COVID-19 successful in the term of economics? 1 Abstract On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared that Covid-19 is a pandemic. At that time the total number of cases were 118,000 and virus was spread over 110 countries. After that a lot of European countries imposed draconian restrictions. Italy, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and other European countries believed that “Great Lockdown” and strict measures would help to prevent the spread of the virus, but unlike all these countries Sweden chose another way in response to Covid-19. Swedish authorities primarily relied on their citizens' responsibility and didn’t decide to close restaurants, schools, bars, shops and other places of peoples gathering, like the other European countries did. In this paper I can't prove or disprove was this approach successful because it is still an ongoing process and the paper is not about “how successful was Swedish strategy”, in this paper i want to examine the notion “was Swedish approach successful in terms of economics”. To do it, in the first part, I am going to discuss Swedish approach to COVID-19 and its health outcomes, in order to see the whole picture we have to analyse what really this approach means and how it has been different from other European countries approaches. Health outcomes are also very interesting factor, because a lot of scholars believe that Sweden approach failed because country has seen high mortality rate and the cost of it was “saved economics”, but we have examples of countries with draconian restrictions and at the same time with the mortality rate much more higher than Sweden has and finally with help of data, diagram and comparison with other European countries I want to check if this model has been really effective regarding economics.

  • The Swedish Innovation Strategy
    The Swedish Innovation Strategy Produced by: the Swedish Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications Illustrations: Johan Hallnäs/Svenska Grafikbyrån Photos: Elliot Elliot/Johnér, cover, Morgan Karlsson/Johnér, page 4, Kari Kohvakka/Johnér, page 8, Plattform/Johnér, page 12, Mats Hallgren/Johnér, page 18, Lina Karna Kippel/Johnér, page 20, Susanne Kronholm/Johnér, page 50 Printed by: Åtta 45 Art. no.: N2012.33 Foreword Innovation begins with the human being. Human beings have ideas and develop know- ledge. Human beings use their knowledge, skills and experience in new solutions in their businesses, in their workplaces, in their spare time or as consumers. Sweden’s innovation capacity is essential to meet the challenges and opportunities of the global economy. Policy must therefore be based on a holistic view of how Sweden’s innova- tion capacity can be maintained and strengthened over time. This is the starting point for the Government’s national innovation strategy. The world today is undergoing fundamental changes. Many countries in the EU and the OECD, as well as emerging countries such as China, India, Russia and Brazil, have an increased focus on developing the innovation climate of their countries. Sweden stands relatively strong in most international comparisons of countries’ innovation capacities and competitiveness. However, global competition is increasing between companies and nations. The rising pressure on the earth’s resources also requires new solutions that combine ecological, social and economic sustainability. In Sweden, we need to be more innovative to meet the global societal challenges, to increase the competitiveness and to renew the future welfare and public services.

The aim of the paper is to find the answer to the question what the reason of the relatively low innovation level of the Polish economy is in comparison with other countries. In 2016, the Polish economy took the fourth place from the last among all the EU member states, reaching the innovation level of less than 55% relative to that of the EU in 2010. In the first part, a measurement of innovation of the Polish economy will be presented. The measurement will use indicators that were described in three different reports of the Central Statistical Office. In the next part, the innovation level of all the EU member states will be described and the innovation level of the Polish economy will be compared with the innovation level of the EU member states’ economies, such as: Sweden (SE), the Czech republic (CZ), Slovenia (SI) Lithuania (LT) and the European Union. The analysis will be made on the basis of data from European Innovation Scoreboard 2017 (EIS).

  • The Political Economy of Swedish Success 85
    The Political Economy of Swedish Success 85 the government will be responsive to the desires and demands of the citizens. At the same time, however, all governments' legitimacy is based on their efficacy. Can they get things done? These conflicting principles/ demands present rather difficult tensions in all democratic states. The more responsive the political elite is to the short-term preferences of the citizens, the less likely the government will be to make choices that are 4 in the interest of the whole of society and/or in the system's long-term self-interest. It is my contention that, for particular contingent historical Governing as an Engineering Problem: reasons, Sweden was able to find a balance between these competing goals of efficiency and efficacy. The Political Economy of Swedish Success In sum, if we step back from the particular choices and specific public Sven Steinmo policies pursued by Sweden and Swedish elites over the past decades, this country's success must be understood as a product of the fortuitous combination of the fact that (a) the institutional design has offered the elite enormous political and policy autonomy and (b) an elite political culture worked to build a largely egalitarian, efficient and universalist welfare state. Sweden is once again attracting the attention of scholars and pundits In the first part of this chapter, I will discuss several of Sweden's his­ from around the world because of its apparent ability to pull together toric policy initiatives, demonstrating that these institutional innovations high levels of economic growth and remarkably egalitarian outcomes.

  • Slash-And-Burn in the History of Swedish Forests
    Slash-and-Burn in the History of the Swedish Forests Henning Hamilton Introduction Today, the economy of Sweden is heavily dependent on forests. Trees provide 40% of all net export earnings, and Swedish companies are among the world leaders in industrial forestry. The welfare of the Swedish population has, to a very significant extent, been built on timber, wood pulp, and paper-based industries. Strict forest laws have helped foster the growth of high levels of production within the industry (moderated somewhat in recent years by the growth of the conservation lobby). The Swedish timber industry is now one of the most mechanised and industrialised in the world. In this situation it is easily forgotten that slash-and-burn agriculture was for many centuries a central feature of Swedish forest management. Slash-and-burn had an important place in the colonisation of the North and in the development of Nordic culture and economy. It was practised in areas of central and southern Sweden well into the 20th century. For a time, such facts were neglected even by economic historians. Today, however, interest and respect for this old practice – for centuries the key to survival in the wilderness, and the most economic use of a harsh and stony land – is increasing among the Swedish population. The Stone Age Economy Land use in Sweden has changed dramatically over the centuries. Ten thousand years ago, at the end of the Ice Age, a barren stony landscape of lakes and bogs was revealed by the receding ice. Forests began to reappear. First, slow growing birch and willows, later pines, aspen, alder and other broadleaves, and finally, spruce.

  • MOSES: Model for Studying the Economy of Sweden.∗
    MOSES: Model for Studying the Economy of Sweden. Gunnar Bårdseny, Ard den Reijerz, Patrik Jonassonxand Ragnar Nymoen¶ January 2012 Abstract MOSES is an aggregate econometric model for Sweden, estimated on quarterly data, and intended for policy simulations and short-term forecasting. After a presen- tation of qualitative model properties, the econometric methodology is summarized. The model properties, within sample simulations, and forecast evaluations are pre- sented. We also address methodology and practical issues relating to building and maintaining a macro model of this type. The detailed econometric equations are reported in an appendix. “I think it should be generally agreed that a model that does not gen- erate many properties of actual data cannot be claimed to have any ‘policy implications’...” Clive.W. J. Granger (1992, p. 4). 1 Introduction MOSES is a small aggregate econometric model for Sweden. The model is actively used by the Swedish Riksbank, both for policy analysis and short-term forecasting. This paper first gives a presentation of qualitative model properties, with the aid of graphics and references to macroeconomic theory. The theory behind some key aspects of the model are then discussed in more detail, before the econometric methodology used in the specification of the model is summarized. A presentation of the model properties follows in the form of simulations. Forecasts from the model for the period 2010(1)-2013(4) are presented together with outcomes for 2010(1)-2010(3). Finally, a forecast comparison with two other models in use by the Riksbank is conducted. The results of the econometric modelling are reported in detail in an Appendix.
