Aim: The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge around the location’s importance when rent setting office premises. Furthermore, I want to get broader knowledge about the real estate market as a whole when since it is of current interest. Method: The study is performed with the aid of qualitative interviews on persons with experience of office premises in Stockholm city. Theoretical dates mainly have been gathered via literature and the Internet. Then I have put together the interviews in order so that I finally can analyze empiric with theory. Result & conclusions: The results that have been achieved with this essay are how the concept location has been used within the real estate sector, also how important long-term thinking is when letting of premises, not only office premises. Suggestions for future research: Future studies can increase my study with more interviews, with for example real-estate owners. It was unfortunately no real-estate owners that wanted line up for an interview in my essay. The other proposal is about studying differences between having a company and a home association as a landlord, with starting point from a tenant’s eyes. The proposal is based on my own ambition to find out the truth. Contributions of the thesis: This essay has contributed with new knowledge by considering and using the concept’s actual meaning is used. According to the dictionary location is a word that describes in what way something is placed with respect to it environments. Location is therefore relative and should be used thereafter. Not like today when the expression is used unmoved of its proper importance. This is my study's contributions. / Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen kring lägets betydelse vid hyressättning av kontorslokaler. Vidare vill jag få bredare kunskap om fastighetsmarknaden i sin helhet då detta känns aktuellt i tiden. Metod: Studien är utförd med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer på personer med erfarenhet av kontorslokaler i Stockholms innerstad. Teoretiska data har främst samlats in via litteratur och Internet. Sedan har jag sammanställt intervjuerna för att avslutningsvis kunna analysera empiri med teori. Resultat & slutsats: Det resultat som har åstadkommits med denna uppsats är främst en bild av hur begreppet läge har kommit att användas inom fastighetsbranschen samt hur viktigt långsiktigt tänkande är vid uthyrning av lokaler, inte bara kontorslokaler. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: I kommande studier kan man utöka den studie jag redan gjort med hjälp av fler intervjuer, exempelvis med fastighetsägare. Det var tyvärr inga fastighetsägare som ville ställa upp på intervju i min uppsats. Mitt andra förslag handlar om att studera skillnader för en hyresgäst av att ha ett företag respektive en bostadsrättsförening som hyresvärd. Detta förslag bygger på min egen strävan av att få veta hur det ligger till. Uppsatsens bidrag: Den här uppsatsen har bidragit till ny kunskap genom att man ska betrakta och använda begreppet läge på ett annat sätt. Inte ett nytt sätt, utan det sätt som begreppet verkligen innebär, det vill säga att läge är ett ord som beskriver på vilket sätt något är placerat med hänsyn till omgivningar enligt ordboken. Läge är alltså relativt och borde användas därefter. Inte som det har blivit i dagens läge där uttrycket används oberört av dess egentliga betydelse. Detta är min studies bidrag.

Exhaustible resource rents are an important taxable base in many countries, with revenue sharing often part of the scheme. In some cases large shares are retained for the central government. Generally, the discussions of exhaustible resource taxation consider assignment of resource rent tax base and revenue sharing from the limited perspectives of efficiency and stability. Tax assignment and sharing arrangements are assumed to have a neutral effect on investment of resource rents in long-lived public goods. We attempt to demonstrate that this may not be the case, specifically looking at the question of whether rent assignment is neutral to effects on investment of rents in long-lived public goods, a normative policy objective, and under what conditions it occurs. We test the theoretical propositions with data from the Russian Federation to derive empirical results. The results from the Russian Federation point toward an important dimension of rent tax assignment in a federation. They results show that ceteris paribus, higher share of rent for the federation may lead to lower investment in long-lived public goods and may be constrained by stability. Another argument has been made for reconsidering rent tax assignment using assertive ethnic identity as a manifestation strong ownership claims. Communities with strongly valued identities value ownership over land and exhaustible resource endowments in their areas. This may be the case especially if ethnic identity is important to the resource owning community. The empirical results show that a decrease in the regional share of rent resulted in a fall in investments in the republics and regions with strong ethnic identity. Republics among the producing regions have historical claims to a distinct identity and may have a preference for preserving their identity. This preference is manifested as higher levels of rent investment. Following this line of argument, it can be concluded that rent assignment, through rent tax or revenue assignment, should favor producing regions within the range of stability in a federation, if the objective is achieving higher investment in long-lived public goods.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Victor Nunes Toscano.pdf: 1372273 bytes, checksum: b1225f480a9d20cfb441ba38b50536b9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-03-31 / O presente trabalho busca estudar os efeitos da alocação de talento sobre o crescimento econômico dos estados brasileiros. As análises foram baseadas nas contribuições seminais de Murphy, Shleifer e Vishny (1991) sobre o tema, onde apresentam argumentos teóricos e empíricos de que a alocação de talentos em atividades empreendedoras afeta positivamente o crescimento econômico, ao passo que a alocação de talento em atividades rent seeking o afeta negativamente. Para verificar empiricamente essa hipótese, utilizamos dados anuais de 1999 a 2007, de crescimento do PIB per capita, bem como o número de engenheiros e advogados empregados formalmente em cada Unidade da Federação para representar as atividades empreendedoras e de rent seeking, respectivamente. Aplicamos os estimadores tradicionais de cross section, de painel empilhado (pooling) e o método proposto por Arellano e Bond para estimar a equação de convergência de renda para os estados brasileiros. Os resultados apresentados demonstram que há convergência de renda, a 1% de confiança, para os estados brasileiros com as estimativas utilizando dados em painel alcançando velocidades de convergência nitidamente superiores. Quando controlamos as estimativas pelas variáveis de número de engenheiros e advogados a cada 100 mil habitantes, há um aumento de três pontos percentuais na velocidade de convergência dos estados e uma estabilidade ao utilizar o método de Arellano e Bond. Importante ressaltar que os coeficientes estimados para a variável de engenheiros apresentou sinal positivo e estatisticamente significante indicando, à princípio uma relação positiva com o processo de crescimento econômico dos estados, ao passo que os coeficientes relacionados à variável de advogados não apresentaram resultados robustos / This work studies the effects of the allocation of talent on the economic growth of states. Analyses were based on the seminal contributions of Murphy, Shleifer and Vishny (1991) on the theme, where they present theoretical and empirical arguments that the allocation of talent in entrepreneurial activities affects positively the economic growth, while the allocation of talent in rent seeking activities affect it negatively. To empirically test this hypothesis, we used annual data from 1999 to 2007, GDP growth per capita and the number of engineers and lawyers formally employed in each state to represent the entrepreneurial activities and rent seeking, respectively. We apply the traditional estimators of cross section of pooling and the method proposed by Arellano and Bond s equation to estimate income convergence for the states. The results show that there is convergence of income, 1% confidence for the Brazilian states with the estimates using panel data reaching speeds of convergence significantly higher. When we control the estimates for the variables of the number of engineers and lawyers for each 100 thousand habitants, there is an increase of three percentage points in the convergence speed and stability of states using the method of Arellano and Bond. Importantly, the estimated coefficients for the variable of engineers showed statistically significant and positive sign indicating, at first a positive relationship with the process of economic growth of states, while the coefficients related to the variable of lawyers did not show robust results

This diploma thesis deals with housing policy and rent housing in Czech republic. First basic terms of housing and consequences of rent housing are described. The second chapter concentrates on the rent housing, in detail particular kinds of this sort of housing are described. The third chapter introduces historical development and reasons of rent restriction in Czech republic. The next part concentrates on the development of law and conception documents in the field of housing policy and current legal form of rent housing. The last part analyses financial availability of housing, it presents the development of restricted rent prices and introduces the prediction model of impacts of rent liberalization applied on the law of unilateral increase of rents. It suggests also possible compensations of these effects.

This diploma thesis describes a general view on the issue of rent and the chosen type of immovable property as a apartment building located in Brno, including determining the cost of basic values on which will be determined the cost rent. The next phase will be for cost rent plus a reasonable profit, which is detected by the actual amount of economic rent. For comparison, there is also an economic rents determined by comparison with similar immovable properties in the vicinity.

Denna studie undersöker bakomliggande faktorer till lokaliseringsbeslut när kontorssektorn väljer att etablera sig utanför stadens centrum. Vi analyserar hur företagen resonerar och vilka faktorer som påverkar deras beslut. Tidigare forskning och teori talar för att ett centralt läge är det mest optimala för kontorssektorn, då det genererar agglomerationsfördelar. Därför är kontorssektorns betalningsvilja för mark också högst i centrala lägen. På ett icke-centralt läge som Hyllie, skulle företag som är beroende av billiga transporter som tillverkningsindustrin valt att lokalisera sig. Detta då de föredrar närheten till motorvägar över de centrala platserna. Studien är avgränsad till området Hyllie, vilken är lokaliserad i utkanten av Malmö och nära infrastrukturen. Hyllie var också en ödelagd åkermark när de första kontorsföretagens gjorde beslutet om att etablera sig där. Det fanns dock visioner och en framarbetad detaljplan som kommunen skapat tillsammans med marknadens aktörer, där Percy Nilssons engagemang troligen hade en stor inverkan. Därför har kommunen och Percy ingått som respondenter i studien för att även fördjupa författarnas inblick i områdets utveckling. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ ansats där empirisk data har insamlats genom både ostrukturerade- och semistrukturerade intervjuer med ett urval av anställda inom banksektorn. De banker som ingår i studiens urval är Nordea, Sparbanken Syd och Swedbank. Det valda teoretiska materialet har byggt grunden för intervjufrågor och även för analysen. Resultaten av studien visar på att de främsta faktorerna bakom lokaliseringsbeslutet i Hyllie var att platsen ansågs vara strategisk, erbjöd en bra kollektivtrafik samt gav tillgång till de människorna som skulle röra sig i området på grund av bland annat Emporia och arenan. / This study explores the underlying factors that affect location decisions when the office sector chooses to establish outside the city center. We analyze how companies are reasoning and the factors that influence their decisions. Previous research and theory suggest businesses in the office sector prefer central location, as they generate agglomeration advantages. Therefore, the office sector’s willingness to pay for land is highest at central locations. At a non-central location like Hyllie, should companies which rely on cheap transports of goods such as the manufacturing industry choose to locate. This because of that they prefer nearness to motorways over central locations. The essay focuses on the area Hyllie, which is located outside of Malmoe and close to the infrastructure. Hyllie was also a loamy field when the first office companies made the decision to establish there. However, there were visions and a zoning plan that were prepared by the municipality along with the market actors, where Percy Nilsson's involvement probably also had a great impact. Therefore, the municipality and Percy have been included as respondents in this study to deepen the authors' insight into the development of the area. The essay is based on a qualitative approach where the empirical data has been collected through both unstructured- and semi-structured interviews with a selection of employees in the banking sector. The banks that are included in the study's selection are Nordea, Sparbanken Syd and Swedbank. The selected theoretical material has been the basis for the interview-questions and also for the analysis. The result of the study shows that the main factors behind the location decision in Hyllie are that the place is perceived as a strategic location, offers a good public transport service and provides access to people who are in the area because of Emporia and the arena for instance.

Studien undersöker de faktorer som ligger bakom spelutvecklingsföretagens val vid etablering i de centrala delarna av Malmö. Analys har gjorts på hur spelutvecklingsföretagen resonerar kring deras beslut samt vilka faktorer de grundar sin lokalisering på. Enligt tidigare studier är det vanligt att kontorssektorn lokaliserar sig centralt då företaget kan dra nytta av de agglomerationsfördelar som generellt skapas genom kluster. Vid en nyttomaximerad verksamhet blir betalningsviljan högre på dessa platser. Andra studier har däremot visat att spelutvecklingsföretag har möjligheten att placera sig utanför städerna eftersom de inte har samma karaktärsdrag som den karakteristiska kontorssektorn. Den här studien är avgränsad inom spelutvecklingsindustrin i Malmö, vilket inte inkluderar online gambling. Malmö är en välkänd spelhubb världen över och det sker många internationella rekryteringar. Staden erbjuder bra kommunikationer både regionalt men också internationellt då Köpenhamns flygplats bara ligger 20 minuter från Malmös centralstation. Det empiriska materialet är insamlat via semistrukturerade intervjuer gjorda med representanter från både Massive Entertainment och Avalanche Studios. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ ansats men också textanalys då vi granskat spelutvecklingsföretagens internethemsidor. Grunden för studien har byggts upp med hjälp av teoretiskt material. Resultatet av studien visar att spelföretag beaktar medarbetarnas närhet till arbetsplatsen som en av de viktigaste faktorerna vid placering av deras kontor. Det är viktigt att kontorsplaceringen förenklar gång- och cykelavstånd till och från de stora kommunikationspunkterna. En annan orsak till att både Massive och Avalanche etablerade sig i Malmö var att man ville vara en del i stadens gemenskap. De flesta spelutvecklingsföretagen i Malmö är beroende av varandra därför att de delar samma typ av arbetskraft, kompetens och genom närhet till varandra underlättas stora sammankomster och samarbeten. / The study examines the underlying factors behind game development companies choices when establishing in the central parts of Malmö. The analysis has been based on how game development companies reason about their decision as well as which factors they found their localisation on. According to previous studies it is common that the office sector often choose to localise centrally because the company can benefit from the agglomeration economies that are generally created through clusters. By having a utility maximized business the willingness-to-pay increases in these places. However previous studies have shown that game development companies have the opportunity to locate outside of the cities since they do not have the same characteristics as the common office sector.This study is limited to the game development industry in Malmo, which do not include online gambling. Malmo is a well-known gaming hub worldwide and there is frequent international recruitment. The city offers good communications both regionally and internationally, since Copenhagen Airport is only 20 minutes away from Malmo centralstation.The empirical material is gathered through semi-structured interviews made with representatives from both Massive Entertainment and Avalanche Studios. The study is founded on a qualitative approach but also text analysis by examining game development companies websites. The foundation of the study has been based on theoretical material. The results of the study show that the game development companies take their employees commute into consideration as one of the most important factors for the placement of their office. It is of importance that the office placement simplifies with easy access to and from the workplace by foot and cycling as well as the main commuting routes. Another reason why both Massive and Avalanche established themselves in Malmo was because they wanted to be part of the city's community. Most game development companies in Malmo are dependent on each other because they are sharing the same type of workforce and competence, and through proximity to each other, large gatherings and collaborations are facilitated.

I denna studie undersöks vilka ekonomiska effekter marknadshyror kan få ur ettfastighetsägarperspektiv samt hur dagens hyressättningsmodell fungerar och påverkarfastighetsbolag. Studien lyfter även den ekonomiska segregationen och om det blir någonförändring vid införande av marknadshyror för samhället. Syftet med studien är att få enförståelse hur dagens hyressättningsmodell och marknadshyror kan påverka fastighetsbolagenpå olika sätt.Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ metod där resultatet och analysen baseras påsemistrukturerade intervjuer med sakkunniga personer inom både kommunala-och privatafastighetsföretag samt branschorganisationer. Detta för att få så bred kunskap som möjligtöver ämnet. Frågorna som respondenterna blev tillfrågade var dels vilka ekonomiska effektermarknadshyror kan ge samt hur de tycker att dagens hyressättningssystem fungerar. Detteoretiska ramverket inkluderar tidigare forskning inom ämnet samt studier från andra ländersom har avreglerat sin marknad.Resultatet visar att den största ekonomiska effekten för fastighetsbolagen är den lönsamhet dekan få på nyproduktionen om det blir en fri hyressättning, då de inte hämmas av denreglerade hyran. Det visades även att med fri hyressättning blir hyrorna högre vilket ocksåleder till mer ekonomisk vinning för fastighetsägarna, men att det har en stor betydelse på varman har sina fastighetsbestånd. Fastighetsföretag med bestånd i utsatta områden kan inte höjahyrorna särskilt mycket just på grund av läget och därav kommer en fri hyressättning intepåverka dem i den utsträckningen. Det framkommer att den ekonomiska segregationen intekommer att påverkas särskilt mycket då det redan är idag är så pass mycket segregation ochdet krävs andra reformer än fri hyressättning för att det ska bli någon skillnad. / This study examines the economic effects market rents can have from a property owner'sperspective, as well as how today's rent setting model works and affects property companies.The study also highlights economic segregation and whether there will be any change in theintroduction of market rents for society. The purpose of the study is to gain an understandingof how today's rental model and market rents can affect property companies in different ways.The study has been carried out using a qualitative method where the results and analysis arebased on semi-structured interviews with experts within both municipal and private propertycompanies and organisations. This is due to gaining as broad knowledge as possible about thesubject. The questions that the respondents were asked were what financial effects marketrents can have and how they think today's rent regulation system works. The theoreticalframework includes previous research in the subject as well as studies from other countriesthat have deregulated their market.The result shows that the biggest economic effect for the property companies is theprofitability they can get from the new production if there is a free rental, as they are nothampered by the regulated rent. It was also shown that with free rent adjustment the rents arehigher, which also leads to more financial gain for the property owners, but that it has a bigimpact on where you have your property holdings. Where real estate companies withholdings in vulnerable areas cannot raise rents very much precisely because of the location,and therefore a free rent adjustment will not affect them to that extent. It appears thateconomic segregation will not be affected very much as there is already so much segregationtoday and reforms other than free rent are required for there to be any difference.
