We empirically analyze the impact of corporate tax rates and agglomeration economies on FDI using panel data on bilateral FDI flows and stocks in the enlarged European Union. The novelty of the paper is that it explicitly deals with agglomeration forces and how these may explain differences in tax policies between new and old member countries. The empirical analysis closely follows the implicit un
In recent years, street art has become embedded in popular culture and received growing attention from the art market and art institutions. Work by street artists has entered galleries, auction houses and museums, and some artists have been given the opportunity to create large-scale sanctioned public art projects. Simultaneously, widespread photographic documentation of street artworks and the ci
Popular Abstract in English How do people shape a life in exile? What does nation or homeland mean in such a life situation, and how is the inevitable social and moral turbulence – embedded in the migrant’s biography – employed and interpreted by the migrant herself? This study addresses these issues through an imaginative analysis of five life stories as presented by Hungarian women living in SwThis dissertation analyses the narrated life stories of Swedish Hungarian women, sharing the numerous values and experiences of Hungarian exiles. With the help of interview transcripts of five women from the first generation of Hungarians living in exile in southern Sweden, the study presents seldom-discussed angles of ascertained membership in the Hungarian nation, moving beyond traditional defin
Marknadsföringen av läkemedel är ständigt omtvistad. Branschen klandras inte sällan för en alltför aggressiv marknadsföring för att maximera försäljningen. I synnerhet har kritiken mot industrin varit hård i USA, där flertalet bolag dömts för eller ingått förlikningar i miljarddollarklassen efter omfattande och tillsynes medvetet oetiskt försäljningsarbete.
Abstract in Undetermined We consider an inventory system with one warehouse and N retailers. Transportation times are constant and the retailers face independent Poisson demand. Each facility applies a periodic review order-up-to-S policy. In case of shortages at the warehouse, orders for individual units are filled in the same order as the original demand at the retailers, i.e., according to a so
This article outlines an experimental and numerical study on the effect of cement type, silica fume, w/c, age and moderate shift of temperature on self-desiccation and strength of concrete. For this purpose 81 sealed cylinders made of 9 concretes with w/c varying between 0.32 and 0.50, based on two types of Portland Cement, were manufactured. Five per cent silica fume was used in one third of the
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att en flercellig organism ska kunna fungera krävs det att alla celler har en förmåga att svara på och anpassa sig till förändringar i dess inre och yttre miljö. För att kunna uppfylla detta krav utnyttjar cellerna utnyttjar ett komplext nätverk av signaleringsvägar där många av cellens enzymer och andra proteiner ingår. Proteinkinas C (PKC) är en enzymfamilj som beProtein kinase C (PKC) is a serine/threonine kinase family with 10 identified isoforms. The contribution of PKC isoforms to cell growth and differentiation, with focus on neurite outgrowth, was investigated, using neuroblastoma and immortalised neural cells as model systems. In neuroblastoma cells one or several of the classical PKC isoforms are of importance for driving proliferation, protecting
