”Starkt Tyskland en nödvändighet”
Det är strax dags för val i Tyskland och drömsituationen för Sverige är ett valresultat som ger en stark regering som kan föra EU:s talan på ett effektivt sätt gentemot USA. Samtidigt behöver Tyskland stärka landets eget försvar. Det säger Ola Olsson, professor i nationalekonomi på Handelshögskolan i Göteborg, till EFN Ekonomikanalen. EFN har tidigare rapporterat att Tyskland kämpar med en stagnerande ekonomi och ovanligt turbulent politik – och att det nu väntar nyval.
Cadastres and Economic Growth
Our research investigates the relationship between government-administered cadastres and economic growth using a novel dataset on variation in cadastres within countries’ contemporary borders. We define a cadastre as a public record describing a land asset, the party that owns it, and their rights, restrictions, and responsibilities over the asset.
Shared use of a mass‐flowering crop drives dietary niche overlap between managed honeybees and bumblebees
1 INTRODUCTION Human-induced environmental impacts, such as climate change, land-use change and agricultural intensification, are causing global declines of important taxa including pollinators (LeBuhn & Vargas Luna, 2021; Wagner, 2020), which play a role in the successful reproduction of 87% of flowering plants and contribute to the pollination of around 75% of crops (Klein et al., 2007; Ollerton et al., 2011).

A Western Reversal Since the Neolithic? The Long-Run Impact of Early Agriculture
The Neolithic Revolution was a momentous event which introduced agriculture to humans around 12,000 bp.Footnote 1 It marked for the first time humans’ departure from their hunter-gatherer lifestyle for agriculture and sedentary living. A striking feature of comparative economic development today is that regions which made an early transition to agriculture and to civilization, such as current Iraq, Egypt, and Syria, are now relatively poor.

How a growing market for citrus fruit spawned the mafia – Ola Olsson | Aeon Essays
The Sicilian mafia is probably the most famous criminal organisation in the world. It’s been known to exist at least since the 1870s, when a Sicilian landlord documented how a local group of mafia members threatened and harassed his business to the point that he had to escape from the island. Over the years, the Cosa Nostra and its North American offshoots have been depicted in numerous books, movies and works of popular culture.
This is the story that Roman roads tell us about economic growth
Spatial differences in economic development tend to be highly persistent over time. Comin et al. (2010) document, for example, that countries that were closer to the technological frontier as early as 1500 CE are comparatively richer and more technologically sophisticated today, while Maloney and Valencia (2016) document persistence in population density across half a millennium, comparing regions at the sub-national level within the New World.
Roman roads and persistence in development
On Roman roads and the sources of persistence and non-persistence in development Carl-Johan Dalgaard, Nicolai Kaarsen, Ola Olsson, Pablo Selaya 10 April 2018 Although spatial differences in economic development tend to be highly persistent over time, this is not always the case. This column combines novel data on Roman Empire road networks with data on night-time light intensity to explore the persistence and non-persistence of a key proximate source of growth – public goods provision.
Origins of the Sicilian Mafia: The Market for Lemons
The Sicilian mafia is arguably one of the most infamous institutions in the Western world. After its first appearance in Sicily in the 1870s it soon infiltrated the economic and political spheres of Italy and of the United States and has, at times, been considered a serious threat to the rule of law in both countries.
Body Temperature Regulation in Hot Environments
Organisms in hot environments will not be able to passively dissipate metabolically generated heat. Instead, they have to revert to evaporative cooling, a process that is energetically expensive and promotes excessive water loss. To alleviate these costs, birds in captivity let their body temperature increase, thereby entering a state of hyperthermia. Here we explore the use of hyperthermia in wild birds captured during the hot and dry season in central Nigeria.
