The state portfolio of companies includes 55 wholly- and partly-owned companies, of which four are listed. The state has a great responsibility to be an active and professional owner. The overarching goal for the Government is that the companies should create value and, where applicable, comply with the special societal interests. FOreWOrd Foreword Vin & Sprit and Vasakronan. Authorisation has already been given to reduce ownership in Nordea, OMX and TeliaSonera. Scanpix / As regards the other companies, work has been initiated in review- ing the portfolio of other companies in order to consider the reasons for state ownership. There will continue to be companies which it is important for the state to have an influence over for one reason or another. It is therefore important for the state to define and manage Photo: Sören Andersson Sören Photo: its ownership role in a responsible way. As long as these companies are owned by the state, active manage- ment should continue in a professional way with the creation of value as the overarching objective. State control must also be distinct and well-focused. Being a clear and professional owner also means taking responsi- bility for matters relating to the environment, ethics, equality and diversity. All companies bear this responsibility, although the state- owned companies are expected to set an example and be in the lead. The development and improvement of these companies’ sustaina- bility reports is a tool for driving this work forward. It is gratifying that this area has developed very quickly. During the autumn of 2006 was a successful year for the state-owned companies. The 2007, the Government will present new guidelines for external aggregate result was the best ever.

Ich celem była próba przedstawienia różnych rozwiązań przyjętych w wybranych krajach UE odnoś‑ nie do tytułów prawnych przysługujących uczelniom do nieruchomości, a także form zarządzania nimi. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Do prowadzonych rozważań wykorzy‑ stano literaturę przedmiotu, niepublikowane raporty komercyjnych firm oraz in‑ formacje zawarte na stronach internetowych poszczególnych zarządców nieru‑ chomości uczelnianych. PROCES WYWODU: Analizie poddano systemy „nieruchomościowe” szkol‑ nictwa wyższego przyjęte w Austrii, Niemczech, Holandii, Wielkiej Brytanii, Szwe‑ cji oraz Polsce. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Wyniki badań wskazują, iż władze uniwer‑ sytetów publicznych w Europie nie ponoszą takiej samej odpowiedzialności za majątek, którym dysponują. Poszczególne państwa przyjęły własne rozwiązania zarówno w zakresie struktury własnościowej nieruchomości, zasad zarządzania, jak i wynajmu nieruchomości. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: Niezależnie od wielu różnic wy‑ stępujących w systemach akademickich państw europejskich można się poku‑ sić o wymienienie pewnych wspólnych cech. Austriackie, szwedzkie i niemieckie szkoły wyższe nie są właścicielami nieruchomości uczelnianych. Dostarczaniem odpowiedniej dla nich powierzchni na zasadach najmu, a także zarządzaniem majątkiem zajmują się specjalnie powołane do tego celu spółki. Z kolei w Holan‑ dii, Hiszpanii, Wielkiej Brytanii oraz Polsce uczelnie posiadają różne tytuły praw‑ ne do nieruchomości i zarządzają posiadanymi zasobami. → SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: szkolnictwo wyższe, majątek, struktura własności S u g e r o w a n e c y t o w a n i e: Rymarzak, M.

    The USE-IT Project Journal #1

    December 2017 Author: Zeno Winkels UIA Expert The FED Project Journal N°1 Project led by the City of Gothenburg The FED project With this project, the city of Gothenburg aims to develop, demonstrate and replicate a novel district level energy system, integrating electric power, as well as heating and cooling. This solution embraces and enhances the use of technologies such as PVs, heat-pumps and wind into a larger system. To overcome the main challenges, the proposed solution contains advancements in system development and operation, business logistics, legal framework as well as stakeholders’ acceptance. The FED solutions consists of three cornerstones: FED demonstrator area – The selected demonstration is located at a campus with about 15 000 end-users. It has a well-balanced set of property owners, energy infrastructure, and users, including prosumers as well as buildings with different needs and usage profiles. The area is exempted from the law of concession for electricity distribution, providing the opportunity to test and validate a local energy market. The prerequisites to optimize the use of primary and secondary energy using intermediate storage are well developed, as they are for generation, storage and distribution. FED System solution – Our solution will optimise the use of low-grade energy to replace primary energy. Adding fossil-free energy sources while optimising different buildings usage profiles; one building’s energy needs will be balanced with the surplus of another. Intermediate storage, fundamental to be a success, consists of heating/cooling storage in the building’s structure, accumulation tanks or geothermal heat pumps, and batteries for electricity.

    Intergovernmental Grants As a Tactical Instrument: Some

    Intergovernmental Grants as a Tactical Instrument: Some Empirical Evidence from Swedish Municipalities* Eva Johansson) June, 1999 Abstract Are grants to Swedish municipalities tactical? In this essay, I derive testable implications from a theoretical voting model and test these on a panel of 255 Swedish municipalities, 1981 - 1995. In order to decide which regions that are politically powerful, both election results, and survey data from the Swedish election studies are used. The results, although somewhat ambiguous, support the hypothesis that intergovernmental grants are used in order to win votes.

Introduction In the field of political economics there is a growing literature claiming that redistribution is not performed on the basis of welfare maximization alone, but that it also, to a large extent, is tactically motivated (see, e.g., Meltzer & Richards, 1981; Lindbeck & Weibull, 1987; Dixit & Londregan, 1996; Grossman & Helpman, 1994). Most of the literature in this field is theoretical and it is by no means obvious how to test the models empirically since they partly build on variables such as ideological preferences, election promises and lobbying contributions that are difficult to observe and measure. The purpose of this paper is to take the step from theory to data and test empirically if intergovernmental grants to Swedish municipalities are used for pork barrel politics.
