  2. 1. Understanding Intergenerational Mobility : Inequality, Student Aid and Nature-Nurture Interactions

    Author : Gunnar Brandén; Mikael Lindahl; Björn Öckert; Erik Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Intergenerational mobility; inequality; student aid; adult education; difference-in-differences; propensity scores; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Essay I: A body of evidence has emerged in the literature on intergenerational mobility documenting that unequal countries experience less social mobility: a relationship known as the Great Gatsby Curve. In this paper I estimate the Great Gatsby Curve within Sweden across 125 commuting zones and 20 cohorts, exploiting both cross-sectional and longitudinal variation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Economic Influences on Migration in Sweden

    Author : Olle Westerlund; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; interregional migration; labor market; household migration; labor mobility; local public sector; mobility grant; tax base; self selection; migration; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Paper [I]- Household Migration and the Local Public Sector: Evidence from Sweden, 1981-1984 (co-authored with Michael L. Wyzan), contains an empirical explo­ration of the nexus between variables related to the local public sector budget and migration. READ MORE

  5. 3. International Mobility and the Labor Market

    Author : Mattias Engdahl; Olof Åslund; Per-Anders Edin; Bernt Bratsberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four self-contained essays.Essay 1 (with Olof Åslund): We study the labor market impact of opening borders to low-wage countries. The analysis exploits time and regional variation provided by the 2004 EU enlargement in combination with transport links to Sweden from the new member states. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hot-wall MOCVD of N-polar group-III nitride materials and high electron mobility transistor structures

    Author : Hengfang Zhang; Vanya Darakchieva; Jr-Tai Chen; Ingemar Persson; Fatemeh (Shadi) Shahedipour-Sandvik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nitrogen-polar; MOCVD; III-nitride; GaN; AlN; C-face SiC; HEMTs;

    Abstract : Group III-Nitride semiconductors: indium nitride (InN), gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN) and their alloys continue to attract significant scientific interest due to their unique properties and diverse applications in photonic and electronic applications. Group-III nitrides have direct bandgaps which cover the entire spectral range from the infrared (InN) to the ultraviolet (GaN) and to the deep ultraviolet (AlN). READ MORE

  7. 5. Epitaxy of group III-nitride materials using different nucleation schemes

    Author : Rosalia Delgado Carrascon; Vanya Darakchieva; Daniela Gogova; Alice Hospodková; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Group III-nitride materials, gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN) and indium nitride (InN) have direct band gaps with band gap energies ranging from the infrared (InN) to the ultraviolet (GaN) and to the deep ultraviolet (AlN) wave-lengths, covering the entire spectral range from 0.7 eV to 6.2 eV upon alloying.
