Health as a Factor in Regional Economic Development
The health of the European workforce is a crucial issue as the share of old age people as well as the mean age increases, moreover the interest in the relation between health and productivity of busin
Housing and First Births in Sweden, 1972-2005
The aim of this study is to explore to what extent housing is a constraint for first births in Sweden 1972-2005. Three characteristics of housing are studied: housing type, tenure, and size of dwellin
Stability or Change in the Swedish Labour Market Regime
This paper will relate the worsened situation for low educated in general, and youth in particular, to two institutional factors: a changed organisation of vocational education in upper secondary scho
The Employers in the Swedish Model: the Importance of Labour Market Competition and Organisation
The way the labour market functions is a crucial factor in any analysis of the Swedish model, but has all too often been described in theoretical terms. This paper examines the happenings behind the r
The Effect of Parental Wealth on Tenure Choice: A study of Family Background and Young Adults' Housing Situation
The aim of this paper is to investigate whether parental wealth influences the tenure choice of young adults. Data from three birthcohorts that entered the housing market during different periods sugg
Non-transitive better than relations and rational choice

Applying spatial regression to evaluate risk factors for microbiological contamination of urban groundwater sources in Juba, South Sudan
Hydrogeology Journal 25(4) pp. 1077-1091, doi: 10.1007/s10040-016-1504-x Abstract This study developed methodology for statistically assessing groundwater contamination mechanisms. It focused on microbiahumanitarian aid organisation Médecins Sans Frontières in 2010. The factors included hydrogeological settings, land use and socio-economic characteristics. The results showed that the residuals of a conventional probit regression model had a significant positive spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s I =3.05, I-stat = 9.28); therefore, a spatial model was developed that had better goodness-of-fit to the observations. The mostsignificant factor in this model (p-value 0.005) was the distance from a water source to the nearest Tukul area, an area with informal settlements that lack sanitation services. It is thus recommended that future remediation and monitoring efforts in the city be concentrated in such low-income regions. The spatial model differed from the conventional approach: in contrast with the latter case, lowland topography was not significant at the 5% level, as the p-value was 0.074 in the spatial model and 0.040 in the traditional model. This study showed that statistical risk-factor assessments of groundwater contamination need to consider spatial interactions when the water sources are located close to each other. Future studies might further investigate the cut-off distance that reflects spatial autocorrelation. Particularly, these results advise research on urban groundwater quality.
