We examine whether exposure to gender inequality at export destinations affects the gender wage gap in exporting firms. We motivate the analysis through a stylized model where wages depend on worker productivity, and men have a comparative advantage when trading with gender-unequal countries due to customer discrimination. Empirically, we use high-quality matched employer-employee data from Sweden
Excessive risk-taking in markets can have devastating consequences as the latest financial crises have highlighted. In this paper, we ask whether markets as an institution encourages such excessive risk-taking. To establish causality, we isolate the effects of market interaction in a laboratory experiment keeping other possibly confounding factors constant. We find that the opposite is true. Marke

In Swedish, there are mainly two positions to which a weak object pronoun can be raised; one of them is called 'Long Object Shift' or 'LOS'. In this paper, I deal with argument structures in constructions with LOS in Old Swedish. The purpose is to prov
Liturgical life in today's Catholic Church in the Western world is dominated by women, alt-hough the priesthood remains reserved for men. Conservative critics speak of a feminization of worship life, which is said to be a consequence of the liturgical reform implemented after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. This movement gained traction in academic youth circles, and although women also j
Gardeners have always used plants of different origins, moving them around to new environments, working hard to make the plants survive and thrive under new conditions. Certain plant varieties have proved to be particularly vital, have a long history as cultivars, and are today understood as heritage plants. Many have spread over centuries and are today regarded as ‘belonging’ and as more or less Gardeners have always used plants of different origins, moving them around to new environments, working hard to make the plants survive and thrive under new conditions.

The last decade’s rise of the so-called “third frame” (or third generation) of Transformative Innovation Policies (TIP) has shifted focus of research and innovation investments from economic growth and competitiveness to also tackling societal challenges and generating broader environmental and societal impact.
