1. Economic Theory and Economic History: A Methodological Review of their Connection in the Development of Economic History as a Discipline
University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenAbstract : Throughout the development of economic history as a discipline, the methodological controversy between histographical investigation and formal theorisation from economics proper, explicit and implicit, has been steadily accentuated since the well-known “battle of methods” (Methodenstreit) in the late 19th century. From the impact of theory to history, which marks the emergence of new economic history in the post-war period, as well as the reverse process from history to theory, this thesis discusses how they have interacted and fissured since the "Methodenstreit" and how they can benefit from one another.

4. Revising the link between neighbourhoods and education: The case of well performing middle schools in Malmö
University essay from Lunds universitet/Sociologiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/SociologiAbstract : How do neighbourhoods affect life chances? This is a question that researchers have asked in different forms as early as the 50’s –and there is no shortage of papers exploring neighbourhood effects: how where we live affects our well-being or our participation in the labour market, our life expectancy or, in general, our life outcomes.
