En studie vid Lunds universitet har gett nya insikter om de psykiska symptomens uppkomst vid Alzheime

Economic conditions influence whether and when people choose to have children. A new report from the Swedish government inquiry A Future with Children, led by LUSEM economist Åsa Hansson, shows how financial risks – particularly for women – may be contributing to declining birth rates. Fewer children are being born in Sweden, and economic conditions may play a larger role than previously assumed.

Set a goal for your training for one to four months and pay in SEK 1,000. You get your money back if you achieve your goal. Crazy? Perhaps, but in a study by Professor of Economics Erik Wengström and his colleagues, the incentive proved to be quite effective compared with the control groups. “I’ve had a long-standing interest in how people behave in strategic situations and if you look at it from
