    • The creative class: do jobs follow people or do people follow jobs? 

      Østbye, Stein; Moilanen, Mikko; Tervo, Hannu; Westerlund, Olle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      Regional adjustment models are applied to explore causal interaction between two types of people distinguished by educational attainment, and two types of jobs: creative class jobs and other jobs. Data used are for labour market regions in Finland, Norway and Sweden from the 2000s. Creative class jobs follow people with high educational attainment (one way causation), but creative class jobs also ...

    • Doublespeak? Sustainability in the Arctic—A Text Mining Analysis of Norwegian Parliamentary Speeches 

      Moilanen, Mikko; Østbye, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-21)
      This paper contributes to the recent literature on sustainability in the Arctic as a political concept. Parliamentary proceedings have increasingly been recognized as an important source of information for eliciting political issues. In this paper, we use unsupervised text mining techniques to analyze parliamentary speeches for Norway from the period from 2009 to 2016 to answer whether political ...

    • ‘I will learn from it for as long as I live’ – religious reading and functional literacy skills 

      Moilanen, Mikko; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-02)
      Max Weber claims in his well-known book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, that the emergence of capitalism had its roots in the Protestant work ethic. Becker and Woessmann’s seminal 2009 paper finds that the more likely relationship between Protestantism and economic prosperity runs via literacy. They claim that Protestants unintendedly acquired literacy skills that functioned as ...

    • Machine learning and the identification of Smart Specialisation thematic networks in Arctic Scandinavia

      The European Union (EU) has recognized that universities and research institutes play a critical role in regional Smart Specialisation processes. Our research aims to identify thematic cross-border research domains across space and disciplines in Arctic Scandinavia. We identify potential domains using an unsupervised machine-learning technique (topic modelling). We uncover latent topics based on ...

    • Scraping the bottom of the barrel? Evidence on social mobility and internal migration from rural areas in nineteenth-century Norway 

      Moilanen, Mikko; Myhr, Sindre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-11)
      We aim to answer whether expected occupational gains motivated rural-urban and rural-rural migration in nineteenth-century Norway. Human capital theory indicates that the higher expected gains, the more prone an individual will be to migrate. We use a micro-level data set of over 42,000 rural sons linked to their fathers based on 1865 and 1900 Norwegian censuses and employ a switching endogenous ...

    • Transgenerational Health Effects of In Utero Exposure to Economic Hardship: Evidence from Preindustrial Southern Norway 

      Sari, Emre; Moilanen, Mikko; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12)
      We studied whether in utero exposure to economic hardship during a grandmother's pregnancy has a transgenerational effect on her grandchildren's health condition. We used an individual-level three-generation data set covering people born between 1734 and 1840 in the municipality of Rendalen in Norway. We found a culling effect in which grandchildren whose grandmothers gave birth in years of economic ...
