Innovation Trends and Industrial Renewal in Finland and Sweden 1970-2013

We examine trends in innovation output for two highly ranked innovative countries: Finland and Sweden (1970-2013). Our novel dataset, collected using the LBIO (literature-based innovation output) method, suggests that the innovation trends are positive for both countries, despite an extended downturn in the 1980s. The findings cast some doubt on the proposition that the current stagnation of many

Film Tourism collaborations: a critical analysis of INTERREG destination development projects

This chapter discusses the different stakeholders that take part in film tourism development projects, how do they collaborate, and what is actually possible to achieve? It is a critical analysis especially when it comes to the selection of stakeholders, the project process and potential outcomes in EU-funded INTERREG projects. The analysis contributes to enhance the knowledge about the different

Selkonen

The images of the Selkonen-series are based on video shot in the area around Taivalkoski, in Northeastern Finland. The area is famous for locations of the literary worlds evoked by late author Kalle Päätalo, and the word Selkonen (wilderness, outback or remote land) recur in his literary works. The Selkonen-series is inspired by the way imaginary and fictional worlds are entangled with concrete g

Induction heating of carbon fiber composites: Investigation of electrical and thermal properties

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics, CFRP, are attractive materials not only because of their strength and stiffness but also because of their electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity and diffusivity. One application where induction heating of CFRP is particularly interesting is tools for fast thermal cycling, beneficial inmany industrial processes, for example in composite manufacturingCarbon fiber reinforced plastics, CFRP, are attractive materials not only because of their strength and stiffness but also because of their electrical conductivity and high thermal conductivity and diffusivity.

Refugee Matching as a Market Design Application

This note contains a few brief remarks on the similarities and differences between some standard market design applications (e.g., kidney exchange and school choice) and the refugee assignment problem. The main conclusion is that the refugee assignment problem is more complex in some dimensions than many of the standard market design applications. Consequently, classical mechanisms cannot be used
