More than six decades ago, Aníbal Pinto Santa Cruz (1959) published his pivotal work, Chile, a case of frustrated development. Almost 65 years later, this concept has been reborn under the massive protests and social unrest of 2019, the COVID pandemic, and the new lithium cycle. Chile, the former “Latin American Miracle,” has become an unstable and troublesome state, not particularly different fro

We explore the challenges facing the current academic training of economists in small European countries such as Sweden. The monolithic focus on publishing in the top-five journals, which prioritizes methodological rigor over problem-driven research, is often a threat to social relevance and policy applicability. This limits pluralism, excludes many talented economists, and fails to prepare gradua

I svensk rätt är barn, precis som vuxna, ett rättssubjekt och därmed bärare av rättigheter och skyldigheter vilket i sin tur innebär att även barn är partsbehöriga. Eftersom barn kan vara partsbehöriga kan de även ha talerätt för det fall tvisten hänför sig till en rättighet eller skyldighet kopplat till barnet. Det går dock snabbt att konstatera att barn saknar samtliga delar av talerätten i mål Children, just like adults, are legal entities according to Swedish law and legislation. This implies they have both rights and obligations to face, which in addition means they also have party capacity. Since children have party capacity they can also have the right to litigate in cases where the legal dispute is connected to rights or obligations of the child. It is easy to realize that children

One implication of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is that it is not possible to consistently and over time create abnormal returns without taking on additional risk. However, the hypothesis has become one of the most debated theories in financial economics. Numerous studies suggest that seasonal patterns exist in stock returns, so-called calendar effects, which violates the assumption of st
