Sammanfattning

Female leadership is an expanding area of research. It is a popular topic discussed frequently in both academia and in the popular press. Despite this, comparative studies of the impact of female leadership on firm level performance between family and non-family firms are rare. The present study has the ambition to fill this gap. This paper investigates female leadership in family firms and how it affects firm profitability. A unique database of ownership and leadership in private Swedish firms makes it possible to analyze difference in firm performance due to female leadership in family and non-family firms. Even though much has been written regarding the role of women in family firms we do not know so much about how female leadership in family firms affect the profitability of the firm. The analysis indicates that female leadership makes much more of a positive difference for performance in family firms. The effect is negative in non-family firms.

Sammanfattning

This paper decomposes the factors that govern the access and sharing of machine-generated industrial data in the artificial intelligence era. Through a mapping of the key technological, institutional, and firm-level factors that affect the choice of governance structures, this study provides a synthesised view of AI data-sharing and coordination mechanisms. The question to be asked here is whether the hitherto de facto control—bilateral contracts and technical solution-dominating industrial practices in data sharing—can handle the long-run exchange needs or not.

Sammanfattning

Enligt ekonomisk teori kommer fler att vara villiga att arbeta ju större den finansiella vinsten av att arbeta är. I Sverige är deltagandeskatten över 80 procent för normala lönelägen, vilket innebär att staten får den allra största delen av värdet av att någon börjar arbeta. Empirisk forskning ger stöd för att högre deltagandeskatt leder till lägre sysselsättning, med starkare effekter för kvinnor med barn. Med hjälp av denna forskning kan man dra slutsatser om jobbskatteavdragets sysselsättningseffekt, som uppskattas till 94 000–180 000 personer.
