Limit comparison-shopping? : The effect of new establishments of independent upper-secondary schools on public school costs

Kallberg, Johanna January 2016 (has links)
In the 1990s, an educational reform changed the Swedish school market. The reform allows anyone with permission from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate to establish an independent school. The main objective of this paper is to examine how new establishments of independent upper-secondary schools affect the public school’s costs per student during the time period 2005 to 2014. Using application data, we can separate municipalities in which independent schools have been established and where they have not. This data allows us to estimate a Difference in Difference model where the treatment is a new establishment. The results reveal three key findings: first, on average, municipalities experience a cost decrease if new independent schools are established. Second, a common trend exists in the pre-period between the two types of municipalities. Third, decomposing the total public school cost per student, the establishment of new upper-secondary schools reduces teaching, equipment and healthcare costs. Further research should examine the political objectives on the municipality level for new establishments. In the future it may be important, from a policy perspective, that if municipalities are given a veto right in the establishment process, market competition will be determined based on political preferences.

Storskalig turismutveckling på en värdefull plats : En enkätstudie om utvecklingen av naturområdet Skutberget i Karlstad

Holmer, Albert, Karlsson, Oliver January 2020 (has links)
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka värdet av en plats och hur det kan påverka lokalbefolkningens inställning till storskalig turismutveckling och nyetablering. För att besvara syftet har naturområdet Skutberget i Karlstad valts ut och etableringen av Muminvärlden utifrån frågeställningarna: Hur värderas naturområdet Skutberget som plats? samt Vad har invånarna för inställning till etableringen av en Muminvärld på Skutberget? I studien testades även fyra olika hypoteser där hypotes 1 och 2 ämnar besvara frågeställning 1 medan hypotes 3 och 4 kopplar an till frågeställning 2. Studien grundar sig på följande fyra teman: värdet av en plats, planeringsperspektiv, friluftsliv samt destinationsutveckling. Dessa teman utgör också studiens teoretiska ramverk. Studien har använt sig av en kvantitativ metod där en enkätstudie har varit det valda tillvägagångssättet för insamling av data och kritisk realism är studiens vetenskapsteoretiska förhållningssätt. Utifrån hypoteserna har enkäten strukturerats i verktyget Survey & Report och den insamlade data sedan har analyserats i SPSS för att komma fram till ett resultat. Resultatet visar tydligt på att Skutberget som plats har ett stort värde för Karlstads invånare och att det råder en skepticism mot etableringen av Muminvärlden. Detta diskuteras närmare i analyskapitlet som sedan övergår i en slutsats med förslag till framtida forskning. / The purpose of this essay is to study the value of a place and how it can affect the local residents’ attitudes towards a large-scale tourism development and a new establishment. To fulfill the purpose, the nature area Skutberget in Karlstad Sweden, has been selected and the establishment of the Moomin inspired theme park. The questions for this study to answer is: How is the nature area Skutberget valued as a place? and What are the local residents’ attitude towards establishing a Moomin inspired theme park at Skutberget? The study also tested four different hypotheses in which hypothesis 1 and 2 intend to answer question 1, while hypothesis 3 and 4 relate to question 2. The study is structured with topics as: the value of a place, the planning perspective, outdoor life and destination development. These themes also form this study’s theoretical framework. The study has used a quantitative method where a questionnaire was chosen as a method for data collection and the study is based on the notion of critical realism. The survey has been constructed in Survey & Report and the collected data has been analyzed in SPSS to compile the results. The results clearly show that Skutberget has a great value for the local residents’ and that there is a skepticism towards the establishment of the Moomin inspired theme park. This is discussed in more details in the analysis chapter, and to conclude the study discusses conclusions with suggestions for further research.
