A Social Innovation or a Product of Its Time? The Rehn-Meidner Model’s Relation to Contemporary Economics and the Stockholm School
2020Co-Authors: Lennart ErixonAbstract:A wage and economic policy programme for full employment, price stability, growth and equity was developed by two Swedish trade-union economists in the early post-war period. A restrictive macroeconomic policy, a wages policy of solidarity and an active labour market policy are the cornerstones of the Rehn-Meidner model. The model was influenced by Hans Singer’s analysis of the fallacies of incomes policy under full employment conditions. However it is difficult to find equivalences in contemporary economics to the model’s composition of means and goals, functional relationships or to its emphasis on the role of actual profits in wage formation.

the Stockholm School in a new age erik lundberg and the swedish model
Research Papers in Economics, 2018Co-Authors: Lennart ErixonAbstract:The Stockholm-School member Erik Lundberg is the economist who devoted most attention to the economic theory and policy of the Swedish postwar model. The established view is that Lundberg was a steadfast opponent of the so-called Rehn- Meidner model, an economic and wage policy program developed by two Swedish trade-union economists in the early postwar years. The model recommends fiscal policies in the medium term, extensive labor market programs and wage policies of solidarity to simultaneously obtain price stability, full employment, income equality and high growth. This article maintains that Lundberg shared many of the premises of the Rehn-Meidner model already at the beginning of his debate with Gosta Rehn in the early 1950s. Furthermore, in their debate, Lundberg approached Rehn’s policy program and underlying theory of the working of the Swedish economy. Despite his ideological qualms, Lundberg’s ambiguous attitude to the Rehn-Meidner model turned into a complete adoption of the model in the 1960s. By highlighting the innovative nature of the Rehn-Meidner theory, Lundberg also correctly downplayed the impact of the Stockholm School.

a social innovation or a product of its time the rehn meidner model s relation to contemporary economics and the Stockholm School
European Journal of The History of Economic Thought, 2011Co-Authors: Lennart ErixonAbstract:A wage and economic-policy programme for full employment, price stability, growth and equity was developed by two Swedish trade-union economists in the early post-war period. A restrictive macroeconomic policy, a wages policy of solidarity and an active labour-market policy are the cornerstones of the Rehn-Meidner model. The model was influenced by Hans Singer's analysis of the fallacies of incomes policy under full employment conditions. However, it is difficult to find equivalences in contemporary economics to the model's combination of policy goals and instruments, its proposed relation between the instruments, or to its emphasis on the role of actual profits in wage formation.

knowledge in international firms and networks the institute of international business at the Stockholm School of economics
European Management Review, 2006Co-Authors: Udo Zander, Henrik GlimstedtAbstract:The Institute of International Business (IIB) is a research and education center at the Stockholm School of Economics. From its humble beginnings in 1976, IIB has systematically built a trans-discipliary research environment with an extended international network. IIB's research on the multinational corporation (MNC) has centered around two research questions: 1) How should MNCs be organized and managed to be successful? and 2) What are the reasons behind MNC success? Empirical studies of intra-organizational phenomena created an MNC image from which the concept of a knowledge-based view of the firm gradually emerged. We argue that the overarching logic of IIB's research on knowledge in international firms and networks emanates from exposure to international top managers and owners, and from studying processes in technology-based multinationals. IIB has benefited greatly from faculty cooperation, instead of competition, thus ilustrating the knowledge-based theories assertion that knowledge is generated by recombination in social communities with shared identity.

how much sport is there in sport physiology practice and ideas in the Stockholm School of physiology at gci 1941 1969
International Journal of The History of Sport, 2013Co-Authors: Daniel SvenssonAbstract:The physiology research at the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics (Swedish acronym: GCI) in Stockholm was never primarily focused on sports, but has made significant contributions to sport and exercise physiology. Changing ideas about the human body (from form to motor) during the early twentieth century led to criticism towards the posture-oriented Ling gymnastics. The rationalisation movement of the 1930s and onwards also paved the way for a rationalistic physiology research. GCI recruited Eric Hohwu Christensen (1904–1996) from Copenhagen for the new position as professor in physiology in 1941. Christensen built his research programme on the ideas of the Copenhagen School, focusing on basic research, bodily limits and rationalisation of exercise. The majority of research at GCI focused on basic physiology, and the main goal was to rationalise the exercise of the entire population, which was in line with the ambitions of the emerging Swedish welfare state. But applications in elite sports became a cl...

technical report for the teacher survey with linkage to the Stockholm School survey
2018Co-Authors: Jannike Kjellstrom, Isabelle Holmin Von Saenger, Emilie Lofgren Jarl, Bitte ModinAbstract:The Teacher Survey was carried out by our research group through a web-based questionnaire that was sent to all senior-level teachers (grades 7-9) in Stockholm municipality in the spring of 2014, and then again in the spring of 2016, this time also comprising upper secondary School teachers (grades 10-13). Student information from the two corresponding years came from the Stockholm School Survey, which is a total survey of ninth- and eleventh-grade students in all public Schools and most private Schools in Stockholm municipality. The 2014 teacher survey was carried out as part of the research project "Social determinants of learning and health within the context of School", and the 2016 teacher survey was conducted within the research project "School-contextual pathways to psychological symptoms among Swedish youth in the wake of the 1990s School reforms".The two research projects examine to what extent teacher-rated characteristics at the School-level are related with student outcomes such as School achievement, bullying behaviors, perceived teacher support as well as internalizing and externalizing health problems. The teacher-rated School characteristics consist of, for example, School leadership, teacher cooperation and consensus, School ethos, teachers’ working conditions. The teacher survey can also, by itself, be used to estimate the prevalence of stress, sleeping problems and self-rated health problems among the teachers, as well as how their working environment are related to these outcomes.Linking the Stockholm School Survey (SE) with the Stockholm Teacher Survey (LE) together provides a unique data material (SELE) where questions concerning School-contextual issues can be examined in relation to student outcomes.

School Effectiveness and Students' Perceptions of Teacher Caring: A Multilevel Study.
Improving Schools, 2018Co-Authors: Joacim Ramberg, Sara Brolin Låftman, Ylva B. Almquist, Bitte ModinAbstract:The effective Schools literature has shown that School-contextual aspects matter for students’ academic and social outcomes. A potential link here may be the quality of the relationships between teachers and students, but few studies have investigated whether features of School effectiveness are in fact associated with students’ perceptions of teacher caring, which is the main purpose of this study. Based on recently collected data from 150 senior-level School units in Stockholm, School effectiveness in terms of teacher-assessed ‘School leadership’, ‘teacher cooperation and consensus’, and ‘School ethos’ (n = 2073) was analyzed in relation to perceived teacher caring as reported by students (n = 8022). Two-level linear regression analyses showed that all three aspects of School effectiveness were predictive of higher levels of perceived teacher caring among students. The findings suggest that these features of School effectiveness constitute an important foundation for promoting the quality of teachers’ r...

Bullying in Context: An Analysis of Psychosomatic Complaints Among Adolescents in Stockholm
Journal of School Violence, 2014Co-Authors: Bitte Modin, Sara Brolin Låftman, Viveca ÖstbergAbstract:Using multilevel modeling, this study examined how different types of bullying, involving both peers and teachers, relate to psychosomatic health complaints. Data were obtained via the Stockholm School Survey from 41,032 ninth- and eleventh-grade students in the years 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010. Results showed that students involved in bullying as either a bully, a victim, or both a bully and a victim displayed poorer psychosomatic health than those not involved in bullying. Victims of peer-bullying also reported significantly poorer health than perpetrators. Two class-aggregated measures of bullying remained positively associated with ninth-grade student health complaints even when their individual-level analogues were taken into account. Thus, both the proportion of victims of teacher-bullying and peer-bullying in the School class appeared to generate health problems that go beyond the directly exposed students. However, an interaction revealed that the latter association was confined to female students...

Joint physical custody, turning to parents for emotional support, and subjective health: A study of adolescents in Stockholm, Sweden
Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, 2014Co-Authors: Sara Brolin Låftman, Bitte Modin, Malin Bergström, Viveca ÖstbergAbstract:Aims: Among children with separated parents, the arrangement of joint physical custody, i.e. children living equally much in both parents’ homes, has increased substantially during the last decades in Sweden. To date, empirical research on the living conditions of this group is limited. This study analyses family type differences in turning to parents for emotional support and in subjective health among adolescents. The focus of the study is adolescents in joint physical custody, who are compared with those living with two original parents in the same household; those living (only) in a single-parent household; and those living (only) in a reconstituted family. Methods: The data come from the Stockholm School Survey of 2004, a total population survey of students in grade 9 (15–16 years) in Stockholm (n=8,840). Ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions were conducted. Results: Turning to both parents about problems is most commonly reported by adolescents in intact families, followed by those in joint physi...
