1. 1. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

6. 5. The Swedish R&D Paradox – The Basis for its Existence and its Policy Implications

   Author : Anne-Sophie Larsson; [2010]
   Keywords : Economic growth; GDP; GERD; Innovation; R D; R D Intensity; Swedish R D Paradox; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : This paper explores the validity of assuming the existence of a Swedish R&D paradox based on the relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth, and what implications the existence of such a paradox ought to have on policies that concern R&D expenditure. Consequently, in the first instance, the relationship between Gross Expenditure on Research & Development (GERD) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is de-obfuscated and empirically explored based on actual data from 2000 to 2008 for all EU countries as well as some other European and world leading economies.
