Growth and Business Cycles -Swedish Manufacturing Industry 1952-2001

This study shows that the mechanisms behind knowledge accumulation and the sources of productivity growth differ from industry to industry depending on what is produced and what technology is used. Although it is apparent to most researchers in the field that the only way to explain long-run growth in output per capita is through technological progress and accumulation of knowledge that counteract

Late Ordovician-Early Silurian facies development and stratigraphy of Jämtland, central Sweden

This thesis is based on studies of Lower Palaeozoic sedimentary successions within the central Scandinavian Caledonides. These deposits have been transported by considerable nappe displacement (several kilometres), and are today relatively isolated from the nearest coeval outcrops (Dalarna 250 km, Oslo Region 350 km). As a consequence, and due to the previously limited biostratigraphical control t

Epidemiology of diabetes in a well defined population in Sweden: the Skaraborg Diabetes Registry

Time trends in prevalence, incidence and mortality was followed in 15000 diabetic patients in 1991?2005. Clinical findings, C-peptide protocols, and islet antibodies were compared in their ability to distinguish type 1 from type 2 diabetes, and factors associated with the prognosis of diabetes were explored. The incidence and the age at onset remained stable but the prevalence of diabetes increas

Hepatitis C virus infection in patients receiving opiate substitution therapy in Sweden.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a blood borne virus effectively spread through injection practices. Consequently, people who inject drugs (PWID) are at the center of the current HCV epidemic in industrialized countries, with regards both to prevalence and incidence. Through progressive liver fibrosis, chronic HCV infection conveys a substantial risk of liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. T

VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS

Despite the fact that venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality there is still insufficient information on VTE risk factors and patient characteristics in the general population. Previously published incidences of VTE (deep venous thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism [PE]) vary from 71 to 192 per 100,000 individuals per year. Incidences of DVT and PE have bee

Wages and Sector Mobility in the Swedish Wholesale/Retail Sector

Med hjälp av data från Statistiska Centralbyråns LINDA-databas undersökte vi sektormobilitet i den svenska handelssektorn. Tidigare forskning antyder att handelssektorn har svårt att hålla kvar välutbildad arbetskraft och att detta beror på en relativt komprimerad lönestruktur. Genom en enkel tvärsnittsanalys visar vi att det främst är de unga och välutbildade som väljer att lämna sektorn. Lönereg
