This study examines whether or not Sweden’s education reform in 1977, which established new university colleges in selected urban municipalities, had a spillover effect on people’s migration decisions toward rural municipalities and, if so, how that effect varied across demographic groups. To test this, a difference-in-differences method with a fixed effect setting is used in combination with Coarsened Exact Matching to create the best-matched control group. The results suggest that the study cannot draw a general conclusion that the education reform impacted people’s migration decisions toward rural regions in Sweden. Nonetheless, the results demonstrate the significance of geographic distance and individual characteristics in explaining migration decisions in these regions. Following the reform, fewer individuals between 15 and 24 years old are moving into rural municipalities with the effects being small but statistically significant. Furthermore, fewer individuals between 15 and 24 years old as well as 55 and 64 years old leave rural municipalities, but the effects are statistically weak to explain the true impact on migration. Finally, suggestions for future research on the subject are presented at the end.

(anglicky) This thesis aims to analyze the primary goal and analyze the trends in the Saudi modern kingdom, which is perceived as a Puritan and traditionally writing country in which reforms are doomed to failure, while answering the research question "Can the theory be applied to modern The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? " The hypothesis of the thesis is the thesis that the above view is not only distorted, but to some extent erroneous. Since its founding in 1932, the kingdom has undergone and continues to undergo modernization, in many areas, most of which will be disabled in its dissertation. However, for a comprehensive understanding of the topic, it is necessary to describe in detail the concept of modernization, and also to describe the concept of modernization, what is the legitimacy of the ruling Saudi family, what aspects affect their governance and who makes up Saudi society. For this reason, this work has as its secondary goal to introduce readers to these areas.

Financial policy in times of crises until the 19th century Abstract This thesis focuses on financial policy during crises of the Bohemian Duchy, Kingdom of Bohemia, and Lands of the Bohemian Crown within The Austrian Empire until the 19th century. I will compare monetary and fiscal approaches to tackle the gravest crises caused by war, instability, or a financial breakdown. Therefore, in this thesis, I will analyse selected crises that took place in the Bohemian Duchy located in the Bohemian Kingdom at the end of the 13th century. I will focus on the Hussite wars, the great calada during the Thirty Years War, Napoleonic Wars, the Seven Years War, the Revolution of 1848, and the Long Depression, which started in 1873. The used methods are mainly comparison, analysis, and analogy. Results of the research indicate that an improper financial policy caused the majority of crises. Governmental approaches to solving fiscal, monetary and taxation problems were worsening the situation. Financial policy concerning monetary, fiscal, and tax policy until the end of the 19th century was procyclical. If enlightened politicians appeared in an era of prosperity, their plans for reforms were generally dashed by war and need for new governmental expenditures. However, the government, especially during the crisis, was prone...

Thesis advisor: Owen Stanwood / This dissertation is a history of the First Irish Diaspora and its relationship to the Spanish Empire’s eighteenth-century Bourbon Reforms. Although there is a long history of Irish migration to Spain, I argue that the conjuncture of the War of the English Succession (1688-1695) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713) foreclosed hopes of a reversal of the seventeenth century Irish land-confiscations which defined the English conquest and colonization of Ireland, pushing thousands of Irish Catholics into exile near-simultaneous to the ascension of a reform-minded Bourbon monarchy to the Spanish thrown which opened new opportunities for useful subjects. At the same time, these wars established the emergent British Empire as a rising Atlantic hegemon and exposed the fragility of a Spanish Empire widely viewed by contemporaries as in decline. In such a context, Irish familiarity with British methods of empire-making made them ideal imperial translators for the Spanish Crown precisely as the empire embarked on its Bourbon Reform program. Genealogy and religion formed the foundations of Irish assimilation into the Spanish Empire – the Irish became Hiberno-Spaniards because of the “genealogical fiction” that the Irish sliocht (“race,” literally “seed”) descended from Spaniards and because they were Catholic. In Spain, the impact of this Hiberno-Spanish diaspora on the Bourbon Reforms began following the War of the Spanish Succession and reached its crescendo in the aftermath of Spain’s disastrous defeat in the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763). Specifically, Hiberno-Spanish imperialists in the metropole were important participants in the debates and decisions that promoted liberalizing national-colonial trade, investments in infrastructure, the emulation of foreign practices such as British and Irish economic societies, and more; i.e. the emulation of British political economy. Their principal contribution to the empire was the translation of political economic statecraft and a cosmopolitanism of exile that honed their ability to translate foreign ideas in an age of imperial emulation and made them especially effective imperial intermediaries in polyglot and liminal spaces such as the Gulf Coast borderlands. There, in Cuba, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, Hiberno-Spanish slavers, governors, merchants, and imperialists were important contributors to Spain’s real but ephemeral resurgence in colonial North America and the Atlantic world. The Spanish Empire collapsed and Irish emigration patterns rerouted to North America, but Hiberno-Spaniards and the Bourbon Reforms first accelerated the processes of colonization and slavery that transformed Cuba and the Gulf Coast into the world’s capital of cotton, sugar, and slavery in the nineteenth century. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2022. / Submitted to: Boston College.

y / This study examined economic well-being of sub-national units in India since the economic reforms. For this purpose, the study constructed well-being index for 17 major states of India for the period 1981–2011 based on five broad dimensions. Our results showed that the economic well-being of states has declined since the reforms. The interstate disparities have increased and the states (except Punjab and West Bengal) which performed well prior to the reforms continued to perform well in the post-reform years too. In addition, our regression results for the high well-being and low well-being states revealed that the reforms have benefited more developed high well-being states, rather than low well-being states. While human capital was found significantly and positively related to per capita incomes in both groups of the states, financial development was positively related in high well-being states, but a negative association was visible in the low well-being states.
