During the period 2000- 2008 the share of tourism in GDP was 4.3% to 5.7%. One aspect of the tourist industry is hunting tourism, upon which limited research has been done and only fragmented information exists on the subject. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the economic impact of reindeer hunting on the hunting area.

  • 1 Environmental Images of Nineteenth-Century Iceland from Official Letters (Bréf Sýslumanna Og Amtmanna) Astrid E.J. Ogilvie E
    Environmental Images of Nineteenth-Century Iceland from Official Letters (Bréf Sslumanna og Amtmanna) Astrid E.J. Ogilvie Expanded version of article forthcoming in The Discovery of Nineteenth-Century Scandinavia as Reflected in Travel-Writing, Essays, Letters and Fiction Written by Scandinavians and Others Edited by Marie Wells, Norvik Press, 2007 Published here by permission of the Editor and Norvik Press Abstract. Iceland may be said to have become part of the Danish kingdom in 1536, although it was not formally subject to Danish laws until 1662. In 1904 the union with Denmark began to dissolve when home rule was granted, and since 1944 Iceland has been a self-governing republic. For the period ca. 1700 to 1894 a valuable historical legacy from Danish rule exists in the form of official reports describing conditions in Iceland. The reports or letters were written one to three times a year by Icelandic officials known as Sslumenn (Sheriffs) and Amtmenn (District Governors) and sent to the Stiftamtmaur or Landshöfingja (Governors of Iceland). The letters were produced for all of the counties of Iceland (23) thus enabling comparison of conditions in different areas. These letters form a goldmine of climatic, environmental, and historical information. They are located in the National Archives in Reykjavík, are unpublished, and are mainly written in Gothic handwriting in Danish. The reports contain information on climate (especially temperature and precipitation), sea-ice variations, comments on glacial phenomena, environmental impacts such as the occurrence of volcanic eruptions and avalanches, as well as information on fisheries, livestock, grass-growth and hay yield, and human health.

  • Modern Industrial Structure and Development of House Price Spatial Disparity: a General Case for Iceland - a Large but Thinly Populated European Country
    Modern industrial structure and development of house price spatial disparity: A general case for Iceland - a large but thinly populated European country. Vífill Karlsson * The Faculty of Social Science, Bifröst School of Business, Bifröst, 311 Borgarnes, Iceland. & Regional Development Office of West-Iceland, Bjarnarbraut 8, 310 Borgarnes, Iceland. Abstract In this paper, I examine the development of the spatial structure of house prices. Due to consumer preferences for access over amenity value, there is a spatial disparity of house prices. According to Alonso’s extension of von Tünen’s theory, house prices between urban and rural areas tend to follow certain principles. This relationship is more often negative than positive, i.e. the price of a standardized unit of housing declines with increasing distance from a central business district (CBD). It has been documented that this relationship is negative for Iceland, as well as in many other regions. I will examine whether this relationship has become increasingly larger in Iceland, most likely due to the more rapid growth of the knowledge-based industry and, thus, the increased significance of localization and urbanization economies. A macro panel data set from Iceland will be used, representing several essential variables of the house market for 19 counties in Iceland from 1981 through 2004. Keywords: House prices, Bid-rent curve, Distance gradient, Local, Localization and urbanization economies. JEL Classifications: R11; R20; R21; C23 1 Introduction Many have argued that the spatial disparity of house prices tends to follow a certain structure (Fujita, 1989; Fujita & Thisse, 2002, pp. 78-91; McCann, 2001). The pattern is generally a negative distance gradient (i.e.

  • Msc Shipping Registration Adal
    Master’s Thesis Submitted to: Reykjavik University School of Business INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS THE ICELANDIC INTERNATIONAL SHIP REGISTER Why Has It Not Achieved Its Set Goal In Registering Vessels Under The Icelandic Flag? Auður Ósk Vilhjálmsdóttir 05/01/2015 Supervisor Mr. Kristján Vigfússon Reykjavik, January 2015 Abstract The discussion over whether or not the Icelandic government needs to implement an International Register for its shipping industry, had been an ongoing debate for over two decades before the issue was finally addressed and the Icelandic International Ship Register (ISS) was introduced. Since its introduction not a single vessel has registered and no interest has been shown in regards to addressing that lack of success. The objective of this research is to examine why the current international registry has not achieved its set goal in registering vessels under the Icelandic flag. In other words, the faults and drawbacks of the register will be examined, as well as which factors need to be taken in to consideration to obtain desirable outcomes. The examination will be conducted with the relevance of a policy structure in mind. The findings of this research concluded that a large part of the unsuccessfulness of IIS was due to the Icelandic Government’s lack of preparation and research on the matter as well as insufficient policy formulation concerning the registry and the Icelandic maritime industry. A crucial factor of its failure lies in the omission of the fourth paragraph of the 11th Article of the bill that was presented to Parliament. By changing the bills intentions of allowing shipping companies to hire international crew on wages based on the crewmembers domestic union contracts did it render the register incapable of competing with foreign flags.
