Economics in Sweden - An Evaluation of Swedish Research in Economics (Hardcover)

While research evaluation has achieved particular significance in the United Kingdom, there is growing interest and activity in this area among Scandanavian countries. Funded by the Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, this book is a product of the increasing recognition of the importance of evaluations. The principal aim of "Economics of Sweden" is to locate Swedish economic research in an international setting and from there, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of Swedish economics. Throughout, an effort has been made to relate to recent work on evaluation by developing a theoretical foundation for assessing the future of Swedish economic research. The authors have achieved this by maintaining close two-way contact with the profession and by combining different empirical methods. This has taken the form of continuous interaction with the economics profession in seminars and on site visits to various economics departments. Although the study is focused on Sweden the analysis should also be relevant to several other countries, particularly the other Nordic countries, Canada, Australia and Israel.
