A Voice for Tax Fairness. The State, Sub-National Interests and the Taxation of Iron Ore Revenue in Sweden, 1937–1957
In Sweden, interactions between the state and sub-national interests concerning the distribution of rent from natural resources have often focused on what constitutes a ‘fair’ distribution of taxing and spending. This article studies how this became manifested during a dispute between the mining towns of Kiruna and Gällivare and the Swedish state concerning the taxation of the mining company Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB (LKAB). In collaboration wi…
National institutions, regional outcomes. The political economy of post-war Swedish regional policy
One debate within the varieties of capitalism approach deals with the significance of institutions below the national level. On the basis of a case study of the loan guarantee system, this article deals with the interaction between institutions and regional actors in Sweden during the formation of post-war regional development policy. We conclude that regional economic problems have been addressed through adaptation of national institutions. From…
What Can the State Do for You
It has been suggested that Swedish policy during the early post-war period was strongly directed towards mobility-increasing expenditures – most notably relocation allowances – aimed at moving labour from north to south. While this view has dominated the academic discussion on labour market policy, there is little direct evidence. We make three claims. First, the relocation allowances have to be evaluated against the regional policy. Second, by d…
In the Shadow of the Swedish Welfare State
The twentieth-century history of the Swedish welfare state and public-service sector is critical to understanding the changing role of women in Sweden, as the expansion of the country's service production, beginning in the 1960s, has been mainly the result of wel-fare-state policies. Yet women's self-employment and wage work in the service industry has been neglected as an economic factor in both traditional economic and business history accounts…
National patterns in the regulation of railways and telephony in the Nordic countries to 1950
It has been suggested that the railways, as the first national industrialisation project, became role models for public regulatory solutions in other industries in the same country. However, it still has to be explored if the institutional arrangements have actually been transferred from the railways to other industries. Comparative country analysis may increase our understanding of how institutions changes and eventually are ‘inherited’ by other…
From state railway housekeeping to railway economics
In this article the development of Swedish railway policy in the twentieth century is interpreted as a process of institutional change where the effects of real economic development are filtered through the railway s established institutional framework. The change in railway policy is seen as a result of an economic historical process where the industrialisation era’s conception of the role of railways in society survives in institutional arrange…
