Title: Spheres of Influence - Exploring the impact of different ownership structures on the cost of debt. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sphere ownership influences the cost of debt for Swedish firms, and if the effect can be explained by different types of sphere ownership, such as family, institutional, or bank-affiliated spheres.

During the last two decades, corporate ESG practices have garnered significant attention from the global community. The development of responsible business practices in association with sustainability and the integration of stakeholders has become an important topic for firms reputation, their debt financing cost and long-term success.

This paper gives an overview of the concept of systemic risk in emerging markets, focusing from the risks arising when companies raise capital internationally. When companies become active on the international arena and especially in emerging markets, more considerations have to be taken into account before a sound investment decision can be made. Recent crises in Mexico, Asia and Russia have show
A central feature of internalizing mental disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders, is the avoidance of rewarding situations to prevent the risk of experiencing distressing emotions. Previous research has shown that obsessive and anxious individuals avoid situations where rewards come at the cost of aversive experiences, a phenomenon termed costly avoidance. Cos

This article argues that the body of foreign direct investment (FDI) literature in general and the ownership, location, and internalization (OLI) paradigm in particular would be enriched if finance-specific factors are explicitly incorporated as drivers of FDI. We suggest that financial strategies involving factors such as debt/equity swaps or equity listings in foreign equity markets affect the f

One of the most important trends in contemporary tourism is the increase in urban tourism, both in absolute and in relative terms. An increasing number of cities have become significant tourism destinations. Cities also attract an increasingly diverse set of visitors, some of which could be called alternative tourists. The development of alternative tourism is related to decreasing relative costs
1.Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa. Despite its ubiquity, reviews of this trait tend to be taxon‐specific. We explored the causes and consequences of offspring size variation across plants, invertebrates and vertebrates.2.We find that offspring size shows clear latitudinal patterns Offspring size is a key functional trait that can affect all phases of the life history, from birth to reproduction, and is common to all the Metazoa.

This paper evaluates the cost-effectiveness of renovating single-family houses to Passive House level, as compared to maintaining the existing buildings or renovating to building regulation level. The assessment involved life cycle cost analyses, and concerns the Swedish single-family housing stock constructed between 1961 and 1980, which accounts for about a third of Sweden’s two million single-f
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the cost of equity estimates are a function of the systematic risk relative to the market portfolio. The market portfolio is a non-observable portfolio containing all investible assets in the world. CAPM is a well-established model in practice. However, most practitioners use an equity-only proxy to calculate the estimated cost of equity. In thi
In this paper we empirically test the role of firm-specific financial characteristics as drivers of international investment and production. We hypothesize that financial strength generates advantages that can be exploited through cross-border investment activity. The hypothesis is tested in a series of binary-response models, using a sample of 1379 European non-financial firms’ international acqu
Artikeln presenterar en databas med förmodligen de mest aktuella och tillförlitliga konsumentprisindexen (KPI) för ett stort urval av europeiska länder sedan 1870. Databasen utgör i huvudsak en sammanställning av existerande index men är ett bidrag genom att gå tillbaka till ursprungliga eller ignorerade källor. För vissa länder, där KPI saknats, konstrueras nya provisoriska index och vissa index This article presents a database with the probably most up-to-date and reliable consumer price indices for a large sample of European countries since 1870. The database is a compilation but a contribution by going back to original or ignored works. For some countries, where CPIs have been missing, new provisional indices are constructed, and some are reconstructed for critical periods. The article
