Value of housework time and changes in traditional economic well-being in Finland in 1979-2000
Full text linkThe paper looks at the change, the level and the structure of income distribution and distribution of consumption possibilities at the individual and at the household level between the years 1979 and 2000. I also pay attention to the development of low incomes when the concept of income is expanded to include a monetary measurement of household production. The paper uses Time Use Data, collected by Statistics Finland in 1979, 1987-1988 and 1999-2000. I find that consumption possibilities are more equally distributed than money income. Household production increases the consumption possibilities of all income groups but its effect is most significant in the low income decile groups. As a share of consumption possibilities, household production forms a significantly more important part for low income households than for high income households. By looking at consumption possibilities we can see a different distribution of economic well-being compared to distribution offered by money income measurement alone.Value of housework time, consumption possibilities, economic well-being, inequality, poverty
Collaborative and Sharing Economy Phenomena in Finnish Households 2019
No full textTutkimuksessa selvitettiin suomalaisten kokemuksia jakamistaloudesta ja siihen liittyvien palveluiden käytöstä. Jakamistaloudella tarkoitetaan toimintaa, jossa ihmiset antavat, myyvät, lainaavat tai vuokraavat tavaroita tai palveluita toisilleen sen sijaan, että kaikki pitäisi ostaa uutena tai omistaa itse. Kyselyyn oli mahdollista vastata suomeksi, ruotsiksi tai englanniksi. Tutkimuksen rahoittivat Tilastokeskuksen lisäksi Kuluttajatutkimuskeskus, Kuluttajaliitto, Sitra, työ- ja elinkeinoministeriö, Helsingin kaupunki ja verohallinto. Aineisto kattaa sekä perinteiset että uudemmat palvelut jakamistalouteen liittyen. Perinteisillä palveluilla tarkoitetaan mm. kirpputoreja, huutokauppoja, naapuriapua ja kimppakyytejä. Uudemmilla palveluilla tarkoitetaan monia internet-alustojen avulla järjestettyjä palveluja, kuten auton tai asunnon lyhytaikaista vuokrausta tai rahan lainaamista perinteisten pankkien ulkopuolelta. Vastaajilta kysyttiin esimerkiksi käytetyn tavaran ostamisesta ja myymisestä sekä tavaroiden lainaamisesta. Lisäksi kartoitettiin muiden auttamista, hävikkiruuan ostoa sekä kryptovaluutan määrää kotitaloudessa. Taustamuuttujina ovat vastaajan sukupuoli, luokiteltu ikä, koulutustaso, kotitalouden rakenne, asuinympäristö, tulot sekä vastaajan ja tämän puolison elämäntilanne.The survey charted Finnish experiences of sharing economy and the use of related services. Sharing economy refers to an activity where people give, sell, loan, borrow or rent things or services to each other instead of having to buy everything new or own it themselves. Respondents could respond to the survey in Finnish, Swedish or English. In addition to Statistics Finland, the study was funded by the Centre for Consumer Society Research, Consumers' Union of Finland, Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment, City of Helsinki, and Finnish Tax Administration. The survey examined experiences of both more traditional and newer services related to sharing economy. Traditional services refer to, for example, flea markets, auctions, neighbourly help and car pooling. Newer services refer to several services organised through web platforms, such as short-term renting of a car or dwelling or borrowing money outside of traditional banks. Questions focused on, for instance, buying and selling used items and borrowing items from others. Additionally, the respondents were asked about helping others, buying surplus food, and the amount of cryptocurrency owned by the household. Background variables included the respondent's gender, age (categorised), level of education, household composition, type of neighbourhood of the respondent's municipality of residence, income, and the economic activity and occupational status of the respondent and their partner/spouse

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
