TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the exceptional variation in municipality-level unemployment in Sweden during the 1990s to identify the effect of unemployment on crime and found that there is a statistically and economically significant effect of general unemployment on the incidence of burglary, auto theft, and drug possession.
Abstract: We use the exceptional variation in municipality-level unemployment in Sweden during the 1990s to identify the effect of unemployment on crime. Our findings are as follows: (i) There is a statistically and economically significant effect of general unemployment on the incidence of burglary, auto theft, and drug possession; (ii) we find no evidence for the popular view that youth unemployment matters for crime; (iii) prime-aged unemployment is robustly correlated with main categories of youthful crimes, a finding consistent with the idea that unstable life conditions of parents have adverse spillover effects on the life-choices of their children.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how wage costs for high-skilled and less-skilled labor in host countries affect the level of affiliate activities conducted by foreign MNEs and find support for vertical FDI, in the sense that more FDI is conducted in countries where less skilled labor is relatively cheap.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether data from business tendency surveys are useful for forecasting GDP growth in the short run, using a so-called dynamic factor model (DFM), which is used both as a framework for dimension reduction in forecasting and as a procedure for filtering out unimportant idiosyncratic noise in the underlying survey data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how Swedish national policy has approached these assets in its work on environmental indicators and find that effective indicators have been developed to reflect energy and material flows within society and how human activities put pressure on the environment, but indicators that capture the dynamic capacity of ecosystems in sustaining the flow of source and sink functions need to be further developed.
