Åldersbaserad BNP-prognos för Sverige 1999-2050, [Age-based GDP forecast for Sweden 1999-2050] : Dataunderlag, modell och skattningar för prognos publicerad i "Ds 2000:13 40-talisternas uttåg – en ESO-rapport om 2000-talets demografiska utmaningar", [Data, model and estimates for the forecast published in the "Ds 2000:13, Baby boomer exodus - an ESO report on the demographic challenges of the 2000s"]
No full textÅr 2000 publicerades "Ds 2000:13 40-talisternas uttåg – en ESO-rapport om 2000-talets demografiska utmaningar" av Expertgruppen för studier i offentlig ekonomi. Författare var Thomas Lindh och Bo Malmberg. I rapporten presenterades en prognos för BNP-tillväxten i Sverige 1999-2030 baserad på en åldersmodell skattad på data från 1946 till 1998. Samma modell har sedan använts för tillväxtprognoser baserade på alternativa demografiska scenarier i boken "Befolkning och välfärd : perspektiv på framtidens välfärdspolitik" av Bo Malmberg och Lena Sommestad (2002) och i Delmi-rapporten "Invandringens effekter på Sveriges ekonomiska utveckling” av Bo Malmberg, Thomas Wimark, Jani Turunen och Linn Axelsson (2016). Här publiceras dataunderlaget för den skattade modellen, mer information om den skattade modellen och detaljerade parameter-estimat. Materialet består av två Excel-filer: RFVdata.xls och rfvfcstTL.xls. Den första filen, RFVdata.xls, visar hur BNP-serien tagits fram och vilka underlagsdata som använts, liksom de åldersstrukturdata som använts för skattningar och prognos. Den andra filen, rfvfcstTL.xls, innehåller en beskrivning av hur BNP-serien tagits fram, skattningsresultat, samt prognos. Båda filerna är framtagna av Thomas Lindh. Däremot innehåller filerna inte den kod som som använts för att skatta modellen. De två filer som publiceras ingår i en filsamling som dokumenterar dataunderlag och skattningar för de olika forskningsprojekt som Thomas Lindh arbetade med från 1993 till 2012. Filsamlingen upprättades för att intresserade forskare ska kunna ta del av dessa underlag och för detta ändamål överlämnades en kopia av filsamlingen till Bo Malmberg.In 2000 the report “The baby boomer exodus - an ESO report on demographic challenges of the 2000s” was published by the Expert Group on Public Finance. The authors were Thomas Lindh and Bo Malmberg. The report presented a forecast for GDP growth in Sweden 1999-2030 based on an age model estimated on data from 1946 to 1998. The same model has been used for growth forecasts based on alternative demographic scenarios in the book "Population and Welfare: perspectives on the future of welfare policy”by Bo Malmberg and Lena Sommestad (2002) and an Delmi report “Immigration effects on Sweden's economic development” by Bo Malmberg, Thomas Wimark, Jani Turunen and Linn Axelsson (2016). Here the data base of the estimated model, more information about the estimated model and detailed parameter estimates are published. The material consists of two Excel files: RFVdata.xls and rfvfcstTL.xls. The first file, RFVdata.xls, shows how the GDP series have been developed and the base data used, as well as the age structure data used for estimation and forecast. The second file, rfvfcstTL.xls, contains a description of how the GDP series has been handled, estimation results, and prognosis. Both files are produced by Thomas Lindh. The two files that are published are a part of a file collection documenting the underlying data and the estimates for the various research projects that Thomas Lindh worked with from 1993 to 2012. The file collection was established for enabling interested researchers to access these results of Thomas Lindh's work, and for this purpose a copy of file collection was handed over to Bo Malmberg.</p

China on the periphery : transitions of Chinese "Orientalism" from Oliver Goldsmith to Thomas De Quincey
Get PDFThis project contains six chapters, and looks carefully at the original generic forms and cultural environment of publication. This first part will include the general introduction to the shaping and the mapping of knowledge of China in the pre-Romantic period. Daniel Defoe’s The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1719), as a widely-read, popular romance, would serve as an important text that provides a peep into contemporary British and China from an economic and materialistic perspective. French texts of Montesquieu’s The Spirit of the Laws (1748) and Voltaire’s An Essay on Universal History, the Manners, and Spirit of Nations (1756) would also be included and carefully examined. Although these two works were not written in English, still both held strong presences in the circle of British intellectuals at that time. And although both works were based on the Jesuits’ accounts, they ended up yielding rather different results, providing almost opposite contemporary opinions about China. In Montesquieu’s idea, China, as an absolute despotic country that produces nothing but economic and social stagnation whereas in Voltaire’s depiction, China is guided and governed by high moral and philosophical standards. Both writers’ works showcase an unsettling debate on how China is and should be portrayed in the mid-eighteenth century. This would provide a special foreground that nurtures the later discussions on China, such as the idea of political economy in Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations (1776) and the general public’s ambivalent sentiments towards China, which would lay a strong foundation for the development of this research project.
The second chapter takes on Oliver Goldsmith’s The Citizen of the World (1762) and his other essays and periodical articles to explore how Goldsmith, while echoing back to the aforementioned two writers, takes good advantage of the satirical form of a Chinese philosopher-travellers’ account, not to work as a mechanism of producing sheer alienation and foreignness, but to provide his social observation, in order to assess both domestic and exotic cultures from a parodist’s point of view. Although Goldsmith has constantly been accused of plagiarising European works, and although he did not offer an effective solution to the conflicting nature of Chinese vogue in his contemporary Europe, he was one of the most influential figures in his time who actually dove into the popular cultural phenomenon, suggesting the possible marriage and amiable relationship between the domestic and the foreign cultures with a slight amount of disbelief, concern, and sarcasm.
Chapter three deals with Lord Macartney’s Embassy to China between 1792 and 1794, and looks closely at the travel narratives both by embassy members and by Lord Macartney himself. Several visual representations of China would be examined in this chapter, including some of the most well-known works by caricaturists such as James Gillray and George Cruikshank before and after the embassy. William Alexander, the embassy’s draughtsman, also brought home numerous first-hand portrayals of China, allowing the British public to see the non-distorted images of China. Despite the unsuccessful diplomatic journey, the Embassy returned to Britain with some immediate and direct accounts of Chinese society that were not from a Jesuit source, which defined how common English public comprehended and perceived China from then on. Whether Lord Macartney performed the ritual of “kowtow” ignited a heated series of deliberations about China: if it is a country of absolute despotism or of enlightened despotism? And if China has been stagnant in terms of technology, economy, and culture? Would China be able to open up for foreign trades and diplomacy? These debates strongly shaped the subsequent discussions of China in England in the nineteenth century.
Chapter four scrutinises several Charles Lamb’s Elia essays (1823, 1833) and his correspondences with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and with Thomas Manning who was a leading Sinologist and later a member of Amherst Embassy. Coleridge’s fragmental masterpiece “Kubla Khan” is also included to illuminate the phenomenon of popular oriental fantasy, while the correspondences from Manning and Coleridge are incorporated to examine Lamb’s major source of creative ideas. Particularly, Lamb’s most celebrated essay “Old China” would serve as a perfect example to further dive into not only the writer’s personal obsessive attachment to chinaware but also the remarkable reflection on how the vogue of chinoiserie and the oriental luxuries helped form the concept of “taste” and gave rise to the new consumer ethics of the middle class in Britain. This would also position the consumption of chinoiserie in the luxury debate in the eighteenth century, and how this phenomenon gradually died away in the nineteenth century.
Chapter five approaches Thomas De Quincey’s most famous yet notorious work, Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1822, 1856) and political essays in relation to Anglo-Chinese diplomacy. Influenced by the emergence of racial theories and the trend of switched focus from China to India and the South Sea, De Quincey’s ideas of China reflected the new-found colonist supremacy of Britain, and how the military intervention should be carried out in order to, eventually, disenchant the old charm of China that was thoroughly built up by and within the European imagination. The stagnation in politics, economy and society of China was gradually and then generally accepted in the first half of the nineteenth century, and De Quincey’s proposal that Britain should wage wars against China can also be seen as a violent means for Britain to actively take on the role of global power and colonial country that seeks overseas expansion, as well as a means for China to transform.
The last chapter will conclude that “Chinese Orientalism” is not a by-product of “Romantic Orientalism”; rather, “Chinese Orientalism” should be viewed and understood as a series of images of China that have been romanticised by European imagination—whether they are positive or negative—and they peaked during the mid-eighteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries. “Chinese Orientalism” is, again, not a simplistic idea, but a complex, triangular relationship with politics, commerce, and culture between England and China. This shift in the balance of opinions was accompanied by a change in emphasis and approach in European construct of China, from an Enlightened preoccupation with and admiration of the political, cultural and philosophical supremacy of China, to a Romantic engagement bifurcated between intimate consumers’ attachment to the chinoiserie and oriental luxuries, and then to a racialised “Other” and a stagnant and tiresome country of despotic polity that was in a desperate need for British rationalism and military intervention as a means to revive. With the aim of opening testing and giving great contextual specificity to China within larger discourses and representations of the East, this thesis tracks this process of transformation and the balance of opinions. And it is my hope that this study will in some measure contribute to the heightening of this interest, especially at the time when Europe and China are bound not only culturally but also politically and financially
Simulating the Future Pension Wealth and Retirement Saving in Sweden
Get PDFIn this paper the wealth consequences of the Swedish pension system in the transition from a defined benefit to notional defined contribution system are simulated with almost exact institutional detail, using life cycle profiles estimated from detailed longitudinal micro data. Projected wealth, including different types of pension wealth, are computed and compared between cohorts, gender, wealth deciles and occupational categories. Consistent saving rates and replacement rates allowing consumption to stay constant after retirement are computed. Two different macroeconomic scenarios are considered, one using stylised values for growth, inflation etc. and another using demographically based forecasts. Some conclusions are that the cohorts born in the 1940s are relatively favoured, and so are the wealthiest deciles. Stylised macro assumptions yield more optimistic wealth projections than those corresponding to demographically based projections.Future Pension Wealth; Retirement Saving in Sweden

Mer om tankefel vid utredningsarbete i fallet Thomas Quick
No full textUtifrån undersökande journalisten Dan Josefssons bok "Mannen som slutade ljuga. Berättelsen om Sture Bergwall och kvinnan som skapade Thomas Quick" (Lind & Co, 2013) listas ett antal tankefel i utredningsarbetet kring de påstådda morden. En mycket läsvärd bok och viktig för att förstå hur fallet Thomas Quick uppkom genom avancerat missbruk av psykologi och psykoterapi av psykologer, läkare och psykoterapeuter. Som huvudinspiratör vid uppkomsten av fallet pekar materialet på psykoanalytikern Margit Norell. Uppkomsten utmärks av frånvaro av kritiskt tänkande hos många inblandade, dock inte alla.</p
Il Cavaliere Errante e Riccarda Visconti di Saluzzo : un'immagine "alla Christine de Pizan" delle donne medievali
No full textRiccarda Visconti (1306-post 1366), the wife of the Marquis of Saluzzo Thomas II, played a central role in many of the political and military events tied to the defense of her husband dominion. This article reconstructs her biography through archival documents and through the autobiographical novel of her grandson Tommaso III: Le Livre du Chevalier Errant (1403-1405). In this work Riccarda - along with all the other women that appear in the text - is described through a lexical and semantic register directly linked to the style used by Christine de Pizan in her novel Cité des Dames. It is indeed quite probable that Tommaso III often visited de Pizans atelier in Paris while the two were writing their respective novels
