This paper analyzes the relationship between social capital, economic performance and the dev

Idag lever vi i ett konsumtionssamhälle och konsumerar nuförtiden efter begär och inte efter behov. Vi tror att media har spelat en stor roll i skapandet av detta och vill därför göra en medieanalys grundad i konsumtionsteori. Vi är intresserade av att se hur julen är representerad i media och hur konsumtion är kopplat till högtiden. En avgränsning har gjorts till gratistidningen Metro, som är den

Inequality is ubiquitous in time and space. It is often measured simply as differences in incomes between various groups, but the phenomenon is more complex than so. Inequality is a many-faceted phenomenon that manifests itself in a number of ways.

This chapter presents the theory of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE). The theory explains asymmetric transfers of non-monetary, biophysical resources and environmental harms between different countries or regions. The chapter provides a cursory review of the literature on methods for empirically identifying such asymmetries and testing hypotheses derived from the theory. To identify EUE require

This paper contributes to a growing literature on long-term trends and drivers of pre-industrial inequality by providing new stylized facts on the evolution of income inequality in Ghana from 1891 to 1960. Using newly constructed social tables, we estimate the Gini coefficient for seven consecutive decades at a time in which the adoption and expansion of cocoa cultivation transformed the Ghanaian
