No. of bitstreams: 1 Eliana Lemos Pommee.pdf: 2255341 bytes, checksum: f90be9be89cace551070f817d6e6bf41 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-08-14 / This study focus the binding behaviors between mother and baby in puerperal women, who has delivered her babies in the Labor Center of Amparo Maternal, in the city of São Paulo. His main goal is to describe the manifestations of binding behavior between mother and baby in the first time they're together after the labor and to analyse the function of holding in promoting this bind. The term holding is used as a context of caring and support the mother gives to her newborn baby, as well as the mother's family gives to herself. The psychoanalytical concepts about the puerperal-pregnant cycle(Winnicot,Maldonado,Szejer),the baby's contemporary theorists(Stern, Lichtenberg) and the body-mind approach of Wilhelm Reich in the prevention of health are the theoretical basis of this study. The data was obtained through video recording the mother-baby relationship and through semi directed clinic interviews with the puerperals.From the results, two different groups of mothers aroused, in respect to the holding, in two situations : From the interaction mother-baby, and from the interaction of the mother with her family. The study points out to the very important function of the family holding throughout pregnancy and how having holding after the labor promotes the binding between mother and the baby. This study contributes to the comprehension of the psychological assistance as a path to promote the biding, therefore widing the universe of interference in the pregnant-puerperal cycle to the families / Este estudo trata das manifestações de comportamento de vínculo mãe-bebê em puérperas que tiveram seus bebês em Centro de Parto no Amparo Maternal, na cidade de São Paulo. Têve como objetivos: descrever as manifestações de comportamento de vínculo mãe-bebê no primeiro encontro após o parto e analisar a função do holding na promoção do vínculo. O termo holding é utilizado como contexto de acolhimento, suporte e cuidados tanto da mãe para com o recém nascido, como da família em relação à mãe. Os referenciais teóricos utilizados são os conceitos psicanalíticos sobre o ciclo grávido puerperal (Winnicot, Maldonado, Szejer) os teóricos contemporâneos do bebê (Stern, Lichtenberg) e a abordagem psicorporal de prevenção em saúde de Wilhelm Reich. Para obtenção dos dados foram utilizadas gravações em vídeo da relação mãe-bebê e entrevista clínica semidirigida com as puérperas. Dos resultados emergiram dois grupos de mães heterogêneos com relação ao holding, em duas situações: de interação mãe-bebê e interação da mãe com o ambiente familiar. O estudo aponta para a importante função do holding que a família oferece à mulher durante a gestação e a perspectiva de obter holding durante o pós-parto na promoção do vínculo mãe bebê. Este estudo contribui na compreensão da importância da assistência psicológica como forma de promoção de vínculo, ampliando o universo de intervenção no ciclo grávido-puerperal para as famílias

2015~2016年間台灣金融業發生許多重大新聞事件，隨著資訊科技普及，網路搜尋已成為大眾獲取資訊的重要管道。本文利用Google Trends關鍵字搜尋指數作為網路關注度的代理變數，進行與台灣上市金控公司股價報酬相關之研究。 本文使用三種研究方法進行探討，首先利用圖表式比對法，初步觀察異常搜尋指數與異常報酬出現時間之關聯性，結果並未發現搜尋指數與台灣上市金控股價報酬間有明顯且一致的關係；接著套用向量自我迴歸模型進行分析，然而14家台灣上市金控公司中，僅從兆豐金數據可發現前一期搜尋指數的異常變動量增加1%將使下一期異常報酬率下降約2.67%；最後參考相關文獻使用Fama Macbeth兩階段迴歸模型，結果發現平均而言搜尋指數的異常變動量每上升一個標準差會顯著影響兩週後股價的異常報酬率下降約0.17%，SVI對於股價報酬影響為負向符合本文研究動機與背景，且有相關文獻指出投資人對於壞消息的反應較慢，因此使股價報酬有延後反應的現象，但無法解釋兩週的反應時間，因此對於這樣的研究結果持保留的態度。 總結三種研究方法所得結果，本文認為網路關注度對於目前台灣上市金控公司股價的影響仍然有限。 / It’s unquiet for Taiwanese Financial industry between 2015 and 2016. There has been a lot of major news. With the popularity of information technology, Internet search has become an important channel for public access to information. Therefore, we use Search Volume Index (SVI) as a proxy for public online attention and conducts research related to the stock returns of listed financial holding companies in Taiwan. In this paper, three kinds of research methods are used. The first way is chart comparison method for preliminary data analysis. The results couldn’t show a clear and consistent relationship between SVI and stock returns. The second method is vector self-regression model. However, only Mega financial holding company’s result indicates abnormal search volume index(ASVI) increase 1% will decrease next week abnormal return by 2.67%. At last, we use Fama Macbeth two-stage regression model and find that on average 1 standard deviation increased in ASVI will decrease abnormal return by 0.17% after two weeks. The negative impact of SVI on the stock returns of financial holding companies is in line with the research motivation and background, and some relevant literatures prove that investors’ response to the bad news is slow, which leads to the delayed response of stock returns. However, the two weeks of reaction time for stock returns is unknown. In conclusion, this paper finds out that the impact of public online attention on share price of listed financial holding companies in Taiwan is still limited currently.

民國八十七年亞洲金融危機引發本土性金融風暴後，集團企業交叉持股在掌握經營權、炒作股價及企業間利益輸送所造成之負面經濟影響，再次成為議題的焦點。在台灣證券管理交易法規中，企業交叉持股行為僅能由母公司代子公司公告窺知一二。國內文獻中對於交叉持股之探討亦偏重法律制度及盈餘管理層面，對於透過交叉持股之資金操縱行為則較少著墨。 有鑒於交叉持股「能載舟亦能覆舟」之經濟重要性，及現行公告實務未能窺知交叉持股行為全貌，本研究嘗試以投資餘額變動頻率異常作為潛在的交叉持股行為代理變數，將民國八十三年至八十八年第三季之台灣上市公司按投資餘額變動之頻繁程度區分為高變動群與低變動群樣本，進行其財務性操縱行為的探討。本研究主要的實證議題有二：（1）投資餘額變動較頻繁之公司其盈餘管理行為是否異於投資餘額變動較不頻繁之公司？及（2）投資餘額變動較頻繁之公司其資金操縱行為是否異於投資餘額變動較不頻繁之公司？ 實證結果顯示，在盈餘管理行為上，高投資變動公司有顯著利用裁決性應計項目操縱盈餘的現象，且此現象在曾發生財務危機的高投資變動公司更為顯著。高投資變動公司在多頭市場時，投資收益顯著較低投資變動公司為大；空頭市場時，兩者在真實盈餘操縱變數上並無顯著差異。在資金操縱方面，高投資變動公司質押成數變動率顯著大於低投資變動公司，且曾發生財務危機的高投資變動公司變動程度更為明顯。此外，高投資變動公司債務活動在多頭時期較低投資變動公司活絡，顯示債務活動活躍是高投資變動公司重要特性之一。基於現行法規實務與資料來源的限制不易直接偵測具經濟實質之負面交叉持股行為，本研究之綜合實證發現高投資變動公司與真實負面交叉持股行為有相當程度的關聯性，是故投資餘額變動頻率異常似乎是研究負面交叉持股公司極為重要的參考指標之一。

本文的研究目的，在於直接以利率特性探究景氣循環，並以景氣循環探究利率特性，以了解兩者之間的關係；此模型的特色，在於避開了一般總體模型共通的一項缺點 : 必須先預測外生變數。以上談到的貨幣市場利率特性，計有持有報酬率、違約貼水、期限貼水等三者，至於景氣循環則採用經建會所認定的標準。 研究發現，民國75年到84年臺灣地區貨幣市場的利率特性與實質經濟活動，的確互有解釋及預測能力，實証結果如下： 1.持有報酬率與景氣循環 持有報酬率對景氣具有顯著的負向關係，以持有報酬率來解釋及預測景氣機率也獲致很好的效果；另外，在景氣由盛而衰及由衰轉強此二個景氣轉折月份，持有報酬率飛高和陡降的劇烈變化特別值得注意。並且可以藉由卡曼模型改變估計方法，提高景氣對持有報酬率的解釋和預測能力。 2.違約貼水與景氣循環 從違約貼水對景氣為固定係數的負向關係來看，顯著性雖然低，卻可藉由卡曼模型改變係數估計的方法，大幅改善違約貼水與景氣相互間的解釋和預測能力。 3.期限貼水景氣循環 下降或駝峰型的利率期間結構堪稱是衰退期特有的現象，和1938(1989美國的歷史資料不謀而合。

我們利用「台灣地區中老年身心社會生活狀況長期追蹤調查研究」這份資料，以似無關迴歸(Seemingly Unrelated Regression)模型，探討老人的資產持有行為，發現：一般老年人口並不偏好持有股票，持有行為相當少見，但高教育、高所得、都市化地區（尤其是直轄市）的老人，可能分別因為高教育程度、所得效果影響、都市地區資訊流通快速等因素，使得這類型老人明顯較願意持有股票。 另一方面，在台灣，不動產扮演的角色特殊，傳統認為其與家族宗系連結，在持有行為上並非只從風險報酬觀點去看待，通常還與其他考量有關，因此在持有行為上有其特殊模式。 同時，我們也發現，老人婚姻關係的消解(dissolution)，例如離婚/分居，將對資產持有產生負面的財富效果影響，使得這類型老人各項資產的持有都顯著低於已婚/同居的老人；而健康情形越差的老人持有的不動產與存款也越少，應與此類老人有較高的醫療與保健支出，造成負面的財富效果有關。 除此之外，台灣老人平均而言，持有的不動產會隨年紀降低，但持有的存款會隨年紀而上升，主要與台灣老人隨著年紀上升，所得逐漸不足以維生，產生了反儲蓄(dissave)不動產的現象，有所關聯。我們認為台灣確實存在老人「以房養老」的現象。 最後，我們認為很重要的一點是，台灣老人資產的持有行為，並不是使用傳統的風險報酬概念就能解釋，我們必須考量其他可能因素，才能有效分析台灣老人所表現出來的資產持有行為。 / The general elders don’t prefer to hold stocks, but the elders of high-level education, the elders of high-level income and the elders in metropolis are more willing to hold stocks. Besides, the real estate plays a special role. People regard that it is linked up with the family or kindred. We also find out that the dissolution of relationship in elder’s marriage causes negative wealth effect on holding assets. The similar effect exists in much unhealthy elders. The elders hold less real estate as they getting older, but hold more stocks. It might due to that elders dissave their real estate. Finally, besides perspective of risk-reward, it might appropriate that think the behavior of holding assets in other view-points.

金融機構跨業經營已蔚為常態，金融機構利用不同的整併模式，積極進行跨業資源整合及業務推動。金融控股公司的設立加速跨業經營的腳步，如何利用強勢通路進行共同行銷以達成綜效，成為決勝的關鍵因素。人壽保險業務員通路利用關係行銷，掌握客戶需求，面對面進行顧客服務，滿足客戶一站購足的全方位商品服務，帶動金控集團業績，肩負舉足輕重的戰略地位。然而居高不下的壽險申訴率，引發我們對業務員進行共同行銷時是否也會發生不當行為風險的疑慮，並思考如何提前辨識及因應。 本研究嘗試以保險申訴類型與現行壽險業務員共同行銷模式進行模擬比對，以辨識風險來源，經歸納推導得知壽險業務員趨利避害思維模式及價值觀，若無適當管控，將會引發共同行銷不當行為的發生，並且將隨業務擴展逐漸浮現。為回應風險，本研究結合實務經驗，分別對相關不當行為態樣及有關單位提出風險管理建議(1)在壽險公司方面，可注意強化業務員跨業行銷專業及法令教育，嚴懲共同行銷的不當行為以敬效尤，並善用保險機制以分散風險；(2)在金控公司方面，則應建立跨業風險預判及預防機制，善用集團的資源管理風險，並進行子公司間效率運作經驗的複製及移植；(3)在主管機關方面，可思考調整產險業界業績計算方式，從制度面進行改變導正，另為配合跨業行銷爭議處理機構之設立規劃，可先從金控、公會組織逐級試行申訴運作模式，待未來正式設立時即可移轉經驗及制度，讓消費者保護沒有空檔。期能透過各方面的配合，讓共同行銷的運作能更為完善，以提升金控集團經營效率並充分保護消費者權益。 / Cross-selling seems to be a popular business model for most financial institutions. Various M&A are employed by financial institutions for the purpose of resources integration and business growth across different sectors. The establishment of financial holding companies has further accelerated the scope of business. It is very critical to leverage the advantage of strong channels to enhance synergy via cross-selling. Life insurance agents position themselves importantly for the performance of the holding company groups as they provide one-stop service, face to face interact, and satisfy the demand with their customers by leveraging the customer relationship. But the high customer complaint rations arose the concern with the appropriateness of cross-selling of the agents and the legacy risk, and encourage us to identify the related risk and figure out possible solutions. This research tries to simulate the genres of complaints and the patens of cross-selling of the agents for the purpose of identifying sources of risk. It is concluded that the agents should be well monitored and restrained because of their trade-off mind-sets and value. If not, mis-behaviors can happen along with the growth of business. In response to the related risk, this research based on operation experience leads to several suggestions according to the genres of mis-behaviors to the related entities. First, the life insurance companies should play attention to the enforcement of cross-selling skills and education of regulation of the agents, the punishment of mis-behaviors, and insurance mechanism to diversify related risks. Secondly, the holding companies should build the mechanism of identifying, measuring, and preventing the related risks, manage the risk by using group resources, and replicate the experience and know-how among the subsidiaries. Finally, the supervisory authority should consider the adjustment of performance measurement of the P&C insurance sector, try to guide the sector by change of rules, and try to set up the complaint process from the level of the holding companies and the business associations sequentially, first and then transfer these accumulated experiences and rules to the institution handling arguments about cross-selling after its official establishment in the future. Then the consumers can be well protected without any gap. It is expected that the cross-selling model can be run much better to enhance the operation efficiency of holding company groups and protection of consumers due to the cooperation of related entities.

金控銀行和獨立銀行在傳統在做績效評估時，可能都只考慮相同的技術水準，如此可能無法正確來衡量不同群體的的差異，而忽略其潛在的效率改善指標。因此，本文將先採用隨機邊界模型(SFA)，估出兩體系的隨機邊界模型，接著，再運用Rao (2006)所提出的共同邊界模型(metafrontier)，來進行兩個體系的銀行效率評估。 本研究運用了民國91年到民國97年期間，13家金控銀行與24家獨立銀行的資料為樣本，去分析此兩個群體的效率比較，可得以下結論： 1.在金控銀行與獨立銀行的個別隨機邊界中，兩個群體在於技術效率的表現上差異不大。 2.金控銀行的技術效率變動有越來越小的趨勢；而獨立銀行術效率沒有明顯的縮小的趨勢。 3.獨立銀行的技術缺口比TGR有顯著的大於金控銀行的TGR。 4.在共同邊界的技術效率中，獨立銀行的技術效率顯著的大於金控銀行 / Most of traditional banking performance evaluation analyses assume both financial holding banks and independent banks share the same level of technology, thus it may not able to identify the managerial efficiency difference of different groups correctly . In this research, a SFA model (Battese and Coelli, 1995) is used first to estimate the technologies and inefficiency factors for both systems. Then a deterministic linear programming metafrontier (Rao, 2006) is adopted to evaluate the technology gap ratio between two bank systems. We collect data of 13 financial holding banks and 24 independentbanks from 2001~2008. After analyzing two systems and making comparison, the main conclusions are as follows: 1.Two bank systems have a minor difference in SFA. 2.The variance on technical efficiency becomes smaller with time in financial holding banks, but not in independent banks. 3.Independentbanks’ TGR is significantly larger than financial holding banks’. 4.In metafrontier, technical efficiency of independent banks is significantly larger than financial holding Bbnks.

我國法令原則上禁止庫藏股的交易，但實務上相當盛行母公司透過本身可完全控制的子公司來買回母公司股票，從經濟實質的觀點來看，此一交易屬於實質的庫藏股交易。本論文之目的在探討我國「子公司買回母公司股票」之實質庫藏股交易的資訊內涵，是否和資訊假說的含意相符；其次驗證對於發生諸如借殼上市之經營權移轉情形的公司而言，「子公司買回母公司股票」交易和公司大股東出脫持股俾追求自利的經濟誘因是否有關。研究主題一共發展3個研究假說，主要擬瞭解我國子公司買進母公司股票之交易行為的資訊內涵，俾了解此交易傳遞之資訊本質，並評估市場反應是否和此資訊有關。第二個研究主題共發展4個假說，係探討借殼上市公司內部人在借殼成功後，是否會利用子公司買進其借殼時增加的持股或融資交易的股票，俾舒解資金壓力。此外，亦驗證交易過程中的股價行為，是否和內部人為極大其獲利水準而可能進行股價操縱的股價行為相同。 　　本論文是以84年至87年為研究期間，兩個主題的樣本係相互獨立。實證結果顯示：關於主題一－子公司買進母公司股票傳遞之資訊本質，本研究發現，平均而言，以子公司買進母公司股票當季與後續四季為基準，母公司在此交易的後續期間並無表現出優於預期的盈餘績效（相對於配對公司），而且在交易後亦無法觀察到分析師對母公司盈餘預測有顯著的正向修正（相對於配對公司）。另外，在控制內部人淨買入、公司規模、子公司購買股數、資金需求與產業趨勢等變數後，本研究並未發現子公司買進母公司股票時的股價反應，和母公司當季與下一季的異常正向盈餘績效有顯著的正向關係。總而言之，國內實務界雖然宣稱子公司買進母公司股票係傳遞看好母公司未來前景的訊息，但本研究的證據顯示，這項交易並非傳遞母公司未來盈餘變動的資訊，同時，此交易引發的正向市場反應，似乎並非來自投資人對母公司未來績效的預期，故從股價操縱的角度來看，此一股價效應可能來自於母公司刻意創造，但其實與母公司經濟實質無關的泡沫股價。 　　關於主題二－借殼上市公司透過子公司買進母公司股票之經濟誘因－的實證結果顯示：在控制其他因素後，借殼上市公司在借殼成功的後續期間，子公司買回母公司股票之交易發生後，相較於無此交易的配對公司而言，其內部人持股比例和融資餘額有顯著降低的情形。基於這類公司大股東有套現的特殊動機，故可合理懷疑，這項證據和內部人籍子公司買進母公司股票來出脫持股俾套現獲利有關。此外，分析結果發現：子公司買回母公司股票交易前有正向的股價效應，此一股價行為和內部人操縱下的股價型態相符，但交易後的股價水準則並未顯著低於交易前的股價。吾人推測此一結果，可能肇因於投資人受到誤導，以致本研究未能觀察到後續反轉下跌的股價行為。 　　整體來看，子公司買進母公司股票之交易並非如實務界所宣稱，係傳遞公司未來前景較佳之資訊，反而可能和內線交易與股價操縱有關。因此，本研究支持目前財政部擬議中嚴格禁止或限制母子公司交叉持股的方案，此外，本研究應有助於投資人做投資決策時，對於母子公司交叉持股的本質有所了解。 / Companies are not allowed to buy back any of its own shares except in some special cases according to the Company Laws in Taiwan, but the practice that parent companies repurchase their own stocks through subsidiary companies (which is so called parent-subsidiary cross-holding transactions) is popular currently. From the economic substance view, the parent and subsidiary companies are treated as a single economic entity, and the parents' stocks held by their subsidiaries are treasury stocks in substance. Since the authorities and investors are all concerned with this issue, and previous work in this area is limited, this thesis investigates the information content and economic incentives of these transactions. Specifically, there are two research questions in this dissertation. The first is whether the transactions that subsidiary companies purchase parents' stocks convey any information about parents' future prospects? And whether the stock price reactions around announcement dates are positively related to parents' subsequent earnings changes. The next question is whether these transactions are motivated by insiders' intent to sell their own shares for self-interest? And is the stock price behavior around announcement dates consistent with the explanation that stock price is manipulated? 　　The findings of the first research question are as follows. First, I find no evidence that there are positive aggregate unexpected quarterly earnings relative to a size and industry-matched control sample over the announcement quarter and subsequent four ones. Second, the significant evidence that there are positive revisions of earnings forecasts by analysts around announcement dates also cannot be found. Finally, a regression analysis shows that there is no significant positive relation between positive abnormal stock returns at announcement and positive quarterly earnings changes over quarter 0 and quarter I. In summary, the results are not consistent with the implication of the information hypothesis. I find no systematic support for the firms' claims that the meanings behind parent-subsidiary cross holding transactions are to convey managements' private information about parents' favorable prospects. 　　With regard to the second research question, I focus primarily on those listed companies whose controls are obtained by unlisted companies through purchasing outstanding shares in the open market, these companies are not included in the sample of the first question. As predicted, I find systematic support for the hypotheses that shares owned by insiders and companies' margins decrease relative to control groups immediately following parent-subsidiary cross holding transactions announcements and that abnormal stock returns before and at announcements are positive. However, I show that the abnormal stock returns after the announcements do not fall bellow those before announcement dates significantly. In summary, the findings indicate that these transactions maybe a means for informed insiders to sell their own shares at manipulated high prices in order to alleviate the huge capital pressure by self-interest. 　　Overall, the transactions that subsidiary companies purchase parents' stocks are more likely to have relation to insider transactions and stock price manipulation, rather than convey favorable information about parents' prospects as what firms claim. Therefore, this thesis supports an act of prohibiting or limiting parent-subsidiary cross holdings proposed by the Ministry of Finance strictly. Besides, the results in this thesis may be helpful for investors to understand the nature of parent-subsidiary cross holdings when they make investment decisions.

本論文以2010年6月底仍存續之36間本國銀行為研究對象，以2006年第一季至2010年第二季為研究期間，首先探討金控銀行是否因異業整合，具經濟規模優勢，使銀行業務多角化，而提升經營績效；並進一步分析，資本適足率與銀行經營績效間之關係。最後，本論文從股權結構探討官股銀行與非官股銀行在經營績效上的差異。 本論文之主要實證結果顯示，研究期間台灣銀行業的獲利表現受到金融風暴影響。對金控銀行而言，資本適足率與獲利能力間呈正向關係。金控銀行放款成長率及投資成長率與獲利能力呈負向關係，表示透過多角化業務發展對金控銀行獲利有所幫助。針對官股銀行與非官股銀行獲利表現之探討，實證結果顯示其差異並未達顯著水準，表示非官股銀行與官股銀行的經營績效差異不顯著。 / Using a sample of 36 local banks in Taiwan over the period of March 2006 to June 2010, this thesis first investigates empirically that the effects of integration and diversification on operating performance of banks resulting from the formation of their financial holding companies (holding banks). In addition, this thesis also examines that the impact of capital adequacy ratio on operating performance. And finally, based on the ownership structure perspective, this thesis investigates the difference in operational performance between state-owned banks and non-state-owned banks. The empirical results indicate that the financial crisis has a negative impact on the return of banks’ asset during the research period. The capital adequacy ratio is positively related to the operating performance of holding banks, while the growth in loan and investment of holding banks is negatively related to the operating performance. The results therefore implies that the diversification of the banking businesses probably enhance operating performance of holding banks. With respect to the findings regarding the effect of ownership structure on performance, this thesis fail to provide significant evidence. The results indicate that there is no significant difference in operating performance between the non-state-own banks and the state-own banks.

This dissertation deals with the period bridging the era of extreme housing shortages in Stockholm on the eve of industrialisation and the much admired programmes of housing provision that followed after the second world war, when Stockholm district Vällingby became an example for underground railway-serviced ”new towns”. It is argued that important changes were made in the housing and town planning policy in Stockholm in this period that paved the way for the successful ensuing period. Foremost among these changes was the uniquely developed practice of municipal leaseholding with the help of site leasehold rights (Erbbaurecht). The study is informed by recent developments in Foucauldian social research, which go under the heading ’governmentality’. Developments within urban planning are understood as different solutions to the problem of urban order. To a large extent, urban and housing policies changed during the period from direct interventions into the lives of inhabitants connected to a liberal understanding of housing provision, to the building of a disciplinary city, and the conduct of ’governmental’ power, building on increased activity on behalf of the local state to provide housing and the integration and co-operation of large collectives. Municipal leaseholding was a fundamental means for the implementation of this policy. When the new policies were introduced, they were limited to the outer parts of the city and administered by special administrative bodies. This administrative and spatial separation was largely upheld throughout the period, and represented as the parallel building of a ’social’ outer city, while things in the inner ’mercantile’ city proceeded more or less as before. This separation was founded in a radical difference in land holding policy: while sites in the inner city were privatised and sold at market values, land in the outer city was mostly leasehold land, distributed according to administrative – and thus politically decided – priorities. These differences were also understood and acknowledged by the inhabitants. Thorough studies of the local press and the organisational life of the southern parts of the outer city reveals that the local identity was tightly connected with the representations connected to the different land holding systems. Inhabitants in the south-western parts of the city, which in this period was still largely built on private sites, displayed a spatial understanding built on the contradictions between centre and periphery. The inhabitants living on leaseholding sites, however, showed a clear understanding of their position as members of model communities, tightly connected to the policy of the municipal administration. The organisations on leaseholding sites also displayed a deep co-operation with the administration. As the analyses of election results show, the inhabitants also seemed to have felt a greater degree of integration with the society at large, than people living in other parts of the city. The leaseholding system in Stockholm has persisted until today and has been one of the strongest in the world, although the local neo-liberal politicians are currently disposing it off.
