Abstract: Product Market Integration, Comparative Advantages and Labour Market Performance* In a two-country model with trade driven by comparative advantages, it is considered how imperfectly competitive labour markets are affected by lower frictions in international goods trade. Easier goods trading is equivalent to increased mobility of employment across countries and thus a change in the trade-off between wages and employment faced by wage setters. While the effects of product market integration on the trade-off between wages and employment in general is ambiguous, it is shown that product market integration works like a general improvement in productivity via the specialization it allows through trade. Unambiguously, real wages and employment and welfare improve upon reductions in trade frictions, and therefore workers are better off irrespective of whether the market power of unions is enhanced or muted.

En analyse på baggrund af en detaljeret uddannelsesopdelingFosse, Henrik Barslund; Højbjerg Jacobsen, Rasmus; Lykkebo, Ole Bech; Brandt, Kathrine Marie Skou (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne rapport handler om den ekstra værdi, som højtuddannede er med til at skabe i de virksomheder, hvor de er ansat. En ekstra værdi som sætter virksomhederne i stand til at levere kunderne serviceydelser og produkter i en højere kvalitet eller til en lavere pris end ellers. Den ekstra værdi kan opstå på mange forskellige måder afhængigt af uddannelse og branche. Eksempelvis skaber det ekstra værdi, at kvinden med boret er uddannet tandlæge, når man sætter sig i tandlægestolen for at få en omfattende og måske bekostelig behandling. For en familie, der køber og renoverer et gammelt hus, har det også ekstra værdi, at det er en uddannet el-installatør, som udfører el-arbejdet. Det kræver loven i øvrigt også. Ligesom det har værdi for en dansk vækstvirksomhed, som opkøber en udenlandsk konkurrent, at uddannede jurister har styr på kontrakten, så investeringen sker på det rette grundlag. Denne rapport sætter for første gang i en dansk sammenhæng krone og ører på den ekstra værdi – også kaldet højere produktivitet – som samlet er forbundet med alle de meget forskellige kategorier af videregående uddannelser i den private sektor1. Analyserne viser effekterne opdelt på uddannelseslængde, fagretning og branche. Mere uddannelse skaber højere værditilvækst pr. præsteret time i den private sektor. Dermed er der udsigt til højere produktivitet ved at øge uddannelsesniveauet. Samtidig foretages en samlet beregning som viser, at velstanden i Danmark vil stige betydeligt i form af øget BNP, hvis en større andel af de privatansatte har en videregående uddannelse. Flere højt-uddannede privatansatte vil forbedre virksomhedernes produktivitet og dermed styrke konkurrenceevnen. Det vil også kunne få en gunstig indvirkning på eksport og beskæftigelse.

En analyse på baggrund af en detaljeret uddannelsesopdeling. Teknisk baggrundsnotatFosse, Henrik Barslund; Højbjerg Jacobsen, Rasmus (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: CEBR har for Djøf udført en opgave, der har bestået i at få klarlagt produktivitetseffekter af uddannelse på et relativt højt detaljeniveau. Opgaven omfatter to dele: Den første del er en klarlægning af såkaldte egen- og fælleseffekter på 16 uddannelsesgrupper defineret ud fra fire uddannelseslængder og fire uddannelsesretninger. Beregningerne er udført på brancheniveau og inden for sektorerne privat fremstilling og privat service. Den anden del af opgaven omfatter en konsekvensberegning af at løfte Danmark op i OECD’s top 5, når det gælder andel af personer på arbejdsmarkedet med en videregående uddannelse. CEBR har beregnet produktivitetseffekter inden for sektorerne privat fremstilling og privat service. Endelig har Djøf ønsket, at de samlede produktivitetsgevinster af et uddannelsesløft omsættes til populære størrelser i velfærdsdebatten. Dette notat indeholder en beskrivelse af beregninger af uddannelseseffekter. Beregningerne tager udgangspunkt i allerede estimerede marginaleffekter og følger tidligere anvendte metoder. Notatet inddelt som følger: Kapitel 2 er et kort teknisk kapitel, der informerer om data samt kort opremser litteraturgrundlaget og de anvendte metoder til at beregne effekterne af uddannelse.

Industrirådet og efterkrigstidens Danmark 1945 - 1958Lind Larsen, Morten (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Velfærdsstaten befinder sig i et vadested. Befolkningen bliver ældre, og finansieringsgrundlaget skrumper. Det giver grundlag for diskussioner om, hvorvidt kursen skal justeres eller lægges radikalt om, og hvordan forholdet skal være mellem rettigheder og pligter i fremtiden. I de aktuelle diskussioner om den danske velfærdsstats fremtid er det et tilbagevendende spørgsmål, hvordan den danske velfærdsstatsmodel er opstået, og hvad der egentlig er dens centrale bestanddele. Den danske velfærdsstats rødder kan naturligvis trækkes langt tilbage, men der er efterhånden enighed om, at de første årtier efter befrielsen står som helt centrale i forhold til den moderne danske velfærdsstats historie. I perioden fra 1945 til slutningen af 1950’erne blev en række væsentlige forudsætninger således skabt for, at den moderne velfærdsstat kunne realiseres i 1960’erne og 1970’erne, hvor omfattende velfærdsreformer blev gennemført og en stor offentlig sektor etableredes.

Abstract: Aging populations across advanced industrialized countries are expected to have a great impact on a range of socio-economic policies, ranging from welfare and pensions provision to industrial, labor market and financial policies. While populations are aging there has also been a drop in birth rates. Demographic change is acknowledged as a policy concern within many advanced industrialized countries, but discussions about low fertility are not explicitly expressed in terms of policy objectives. Governments, sensitive to the authoritarian implications of prescriptive natalist policies, focus instead on programs that aim to enable choice about childbearing; in concrete terms this means measures such as one-off payments, improving childcare availability, and addressing worklife balance concerns.1 As an issue, low fertility is seen as a particular problem for a number of European and East Asian advanced industrialized countries. Germany and Japan stand out in having experienced especially low fertility over a sustained period of time, while countries with an established and generous welfare state or long traditions of migration appear to buck these trends among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Abstract: The digital world of the 21st century is increasingly the world of automatic decision making. In such a world, an ever larger number of tasks are relegated to computers which gather and process data as well as suggest or make decisions silently and with little supervision. This situation has been made possible by a transfer of a staggering portion of our daily lives from the offline world to the Internet. It is a truism that automation would be impossible without our willing participation on the Internet. We freely take part in social networks, post on blogs, and send our emails. On the other hand, it is equally true that we are increasingly monitored by the state, by profit‐maximizing corporations and by our fellow citizens and that these methods of monitoring are becoming smarter. Vast amounts of data which have become available and which we contribute, form what we today call “big data”.1 This is then harvested for connections and correlations and profiles created that can be used for commercial and other purposes. We fear this world but are also dependant on it. The creation of these profiles and their usage is an uncharted territory for the social sciences as much as it is a strange territory for the regulators.

How firms organize the production of user modifications in the computer games industryJeppesen, Lars Bo (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Modding – the modification of existing products by consumers – is increasingly exploited by manufacturers to enhance product development and sales. In the computer games industry modding has evolved into a development model in which users act as unpaid "complementors" to manufacturers’ product platforms. This article explains how manufacturers can profit from their abilities to organize and facilitate a process of innovation by user communities and capture the value of the innovations produced in such communities. When managed strategically, two distinct, but not mutually exclusive business models appear from the production of user complements: firstly, a manufacturer can let the (free) user complements "drift" in the user communities, where they increase the value to consumers of owning the given platform and thus can be expected to generate increased platform sales, and secondly, a manufacturer can incorporate and commercialize the best complements found in the user communities.

Abstract: Der er ofte stor forskel mellem prognoser for turisme udviklingen og den faktiske udvikling. Denne publikation behandler prognoser vs. virkelighed for de forskellige overnatningstyper i dansk turisme. Endvidere omtales forskellige forecastmetoder kort. Forecasts får ofte en slags dobbeltrolle, nemlig at fungere som egentlig forudsigelse og at fungere som markedsføringsinstrument. Ofte kan et forventet resultat "pyntes" for at vise en markedsføringseffekt om, at "her går det godt". Dette medfører utroværdige prognoser. Som det fremgår af nærværende publikation er antallet af overnatninger i Danmark faldende fra 2003 til 2004. Ydermere er overnatningstallet, gjort op ultimo september 2005, faldet med 700.000 fra 2004 til 2005. På denne baggrund bør det overvejes at få etableret mere præcise forudsigelsesmodeller. Center for Tourism and Culture Management medvirker gerne her til, i fald der kan skaffes funding til dette. Oplægget til denne publikation er udarbejdet af Lise Lyck, mens datafremskaffelsen er foretaget af Jakob Slej Mikkelsen. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6630 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This WP presents the empirical foundations for the development of the CasMaCat workbench. A series of experiments are being run to establish basic facts about translator behaviour in computer-aided translation, focusing on the use of visualization options and input modalities while post-editing machine translation (sections 1 and 2). Another series of studies deals with cognitive modelling and individual di erences in translation production, in particular translator types and translation/post-editing styles (sections 3 and 4). This deliverable, D1.2, is a progress report on user interface studies, cognitive and user modelling. It reports on post-editing and interactive translation experiments, as well as cognitive modelling covering Tasks 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5. It also addresses the issues that were raised in the last review report for the project period M1 to M12, in particular: the basic facts about the translator behaviour in CAT (sections 1 and 4) highlighting usage of visualization and input modalities (see also D5.3). the individual di erences in translator types and translation styles, (section 3, see also terminology, section A.1) the results and conclusions of preliminary studies conducted to investigate post-editing and translation styles (section 2 and 5) From the experiments and analyses so far, it is clear that the data collected in the CRITT TPR-DB (Translation Process Research database) is an essential resource to achieve the Cas- MaCat project goals. It allows for large-scale in depth studies of human translation processes and thus serves as a basis of information to empirically grounded future development of the CasMaCat workbench. It attracts an international research community to investigate human translation processes under various conditions and to arrive at a more advanced level of understanding. Additional language pairs and more data increase the chances to better underpin the conclusions needed, as will be shown in this report, and as concluded in section 5.

Kompetencebehov i fremtidens blå Danmark 2013Gammelgaard, Britta; Sornn-Friese, Henrik; Stoumann, Jacob; Hansen, Jens; Jessen, Mads; Larsen, Morten (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: For at styrke kompetenceniveauet i de maritime erhverv i Danmark er 10 partnere, bestående af relevante uddannelsesinstitutioner og maritime interesseorganisationer, gået sammen om projektet ’Danmarks Maritime Klynge’ (DKMK). Med et særligt fokus på kompetenceudvikling inden for den maritime sektor udvikles og oprettes der i projektet flere maritime uddannelsesforløb i form af fag og kurser på bachelor- og kandidatniveau, der arbejdes på at skabe nemmere afkørsler til kandidatuddannelser for professionsbachelorer, og der udarbejdes relevante maritime efteruddannelsestilbud. Som en indledende del af projektet har projektets partnere via en række analyseaktiviteter set nærmere på, hvilke udfordringer, muligheder og behov de maritime erhverv i Danmark står over for i relation til uddannelse, kompetence og arbejdskraft. Ligeledes er der i inspirationsøjemed blevet set på, hvordan andre førende maritime nationer har valgt at støtte op om udviklingen af deres maritime klynger. Analyserne er foretaget på et overordnet niveau og mere uddannelsesspecifikke analyser vil blive foretaget af de enkelte partnere i den resterende projektperiode.

Managing and Researching Inclusive SchoolsRatner, Helene (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This thesis examines “reflexivity” as the key theme for understanding how Danish school managers work with the currently influential political vision of including students with special needs in the common school (educating children aged 5-16). Despite repeated attempts to realize the vision of inclusion, the number of students referred to special pedagogical services, and thus segregated from the common school, has continued to grow, especially since 1995. There is a widespread consent that this development is due to the schools’ practices and socially constructed categories of “special needs” and “normalcy.” Pedagogical scholars and recent policy initiatives posit that schools can achieve the much-wanted cultural change towards inclusion if teachers reflect (more) on their mindsets and practices. When advocating inclusion, scholars often refer to school managers as “leaders of meaning construction,” thus emphasizing their importance in facilitating cultural change. Existing knowledge practices are depicted as too “durable” with the unintended side-effects of segregation and budget overruns, and school managers are, following, encouraged making teachers change their practices through (self-) reflexivity.

Abstract: The present working paper reports the results of a study of experiences with the agenda of promoting science-based economic growth in Finland. With the objective of gathering information on best practices, the overall research question of this study was dual: (1) Which institutions, rules and policies have been introduced to stimulate university interaction with industry? (2) Which of these seem, so far, to have been the most successful ones? URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6426 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: We study the properties of foreign exchange risk premiums that can explain the forward bias puzzle, de¯ned as the tendency of high-interest rate currencies to ap- preciate rather than depreciate. These risk premiums arise endogenously from the no-arbitrage condition relating the term structure of interest rates and exchange rates. Estimating a±ne (multi-currency) term structure models reveals a noticeable tradeo® between matching depreciation rates and accuracy in pricing bonds. Risk premiums implied by our global a±ne model generate unbiased predictions for cur- rency excess returns and are closely related to global risk aversion, the business cycle, and traditional exchange rate fundamentals.

Abstract: Over the past decade product service systems (PSS) study has established itself as a research field. Most recently scholars have occupied themselves with the design and implementation of product service systems, which they posit help reduce environmental and economic inefficiencies. However, extant literature leaves open the question why such inefficiencies exist in the first place. This paper proposes opportunistic behaviour, bounded rationality, and asymmetric information as possible explanations for the existence of the inefficiencies discussed by PSS scholars. It continues by exploring five types of property rights and the role they can play in increasing eco-efficiency. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7123 Files in this item: 1
