Effects on employment and seasonal unemployment of subsidies to forestry in northern Sweden.
1991
Hultkranz L.
Forest policy regulation in Sweden works through both legislative rules and economic support to specific activities, mostly in northern Sweden. The subsidies are, to a large extent, motivated by regional policy considerations. In this study, the effects on the number of working hours in forestry in northern Sweden are evaluated. Advantage is taken of the unintended quasi-experimental design of the subsidy programme. Also the impact on seasonal unemployment among forest workers is studied using time series analysis. It is found that the programme has not increased the number of working hours (although a small increase in self-employed forest work is found). However, the programme seems to have led to a rise in wintertime unemployment.
