E-scooters and Traffic Accidents: Evidence from Staggered Roll-Out in Swedish Municipalities

The rapid rise of e-scooters (electric scooters) in cities around the world, boosted by the introduction of shared e-scooter services has visibly reshaped the way people move around cities, sparking both excitement and controversy. With the increase in popularity of these vehicles, concerns regarding their impact on traffic safety and accidents have become a rising public concern. In this paper, w

Emission of biogenic volatile organic compounds from intact & clearcut boreal forest : Multi-year observations of BVOC fluxes at a Swedish boreal forest and the ecosystem-scale BVOC impacts of clearcut forestry

Vegetation is the major source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere, which affect both air quality and climate. Long-term ecosystem-level data on biogenic VOC (BVOC) emissions, however, are limited. This is especially true regarding the impacts of landscape-scale disturbances like clear-cutting on the short-term and longer seasonal-scale emissions of boreal forests, particularly

Stress-Testing a Quasi-Market: Unintended Consequences of the Swedish School Voucher System

Quasi-markets in the provision of public services are increasingly common but also highly contested. We formulate a conceptual framework based on economic theory to describe how quasi-markets differ from traditional markets in five aspects: 1) revenues, costs, and profits; 2) the matching of supply and demand; 3) competition; 4) structural change; and 5) rent-seeking. Using the assumption of profi

Racial discrimination in the marriage market? : An exploration of Swedish adoption data

ObjectiveRecent studies suggest that immigrants trade youth when partnering with members of the White majority population. This study contributes to this emerging literature by examining whether this trade should be understood as differential treatment based on immigrant status or as a broader dynamic of racial preferences in the marriage market.MethodsThis study compares age gaps in unions of int

Distributions and threats of red kites (Milvus milvus) breeding in southern Sweden

Gladan i med-och motvind Den röda glada (Milvus milvus) är en rovfågel vars öde sedan länge varit tätt sammanflätat med människan. En kungarnas fågel, kallad Milvus regalis och milan royal, samtidigt ansedd som en smutsig asätare och avskydd kycklingtjuv. Människlig förföljelse drev den närapå till utrotningens rand, varifrån ihärdigt bevarandearbete bringat den åter. Idag är dess karakteristiskaIn a world of rapid biodiversity loss, raptors are vulnerable due to their longevity and low reproductive rates. The red kite (Milvus milvus) is one of few migratory raptors breeding exclusively in Europe. It has previously experienced steep population declines caused mainly by persecution but mostly recovered, no longer classified as globally endangered. However, negative population trends persis
