Den er en metafor for stærke følelsesmæssige og ubrydelige relationer, men kan i praksis også være problematisk og tvetydig. Familie og Slægtskab er en bog, der med antropologiske perspektiver belyser de mange forskellige måder, hvormed familiebegrebet forstås og praktiseres både nationalt og internationalt. Bogen viser, hvordan disse kan bruges til at gentænke “familie” og til at opnå en dybere forståelse af tvetydigheden i familierelationer. På baggrund af etnografiske casestudier af bl.a. barnløse, hjemløse, filippinske au pairer, kinesiske mødre og handlede rumænske kvinder viser bogen, hvordan visse familieformer og sociale relationer “naturliggøres” i det danske samfund, mens andre ses som forkerte og søges reguleret af det danske velfærdssystem.Programme Velkomst, Antropologforeningen Intro, lektor Hanne Mogensen og professor Karen Fog Olwig, Institut for Antropologi Diskutant: Lektor Sally Anderson, DPU Diskutant: Adjunkt Charlotte Siiger, Metropol Snacks, drinks og fri debat Antologien henvender sig ikke kun til antropologer, og arrangementet er åbent for alle interesserede.Bogen kan på dagen erhverves til en favorabel pris på 200 kr.

Resumé Despite centuries of philosophical efforts and decades of scientific research, we have yet to identify the neural substrates and the mechanisms that convey our experience of being and of the world. The aim of the present project was to develop and to test a new framework for the study of human consciousness: the Endogenous Feedback Network. The new model attempts to conciliate both the objective and the subjective aspects of the phenomenon, to accommodate explicit and volitional as well as implicit and computational perceptual processes, and finally to afford a plausible account of the functions of consciousness. Within the frames of the EFN, consciousness is proposed as a self-adjusting neural system able to uniquely affect own parametric values and consequently to forge the subjective value of objective computations. The studium appraised the theoretical and empirical validity of the EFN model, and the possibility of phenomenal experience without access."

Bedømmelsesudvalg Professor Peter Norman Sørensen, Økonomisk Institut, Københavns Universitet (formand) Professor Mich Tvede, Newcastle University, UK Professor Catherine Waddams, Norwich Business School, UK Resumé This thesis consists of five papers addressing different issues within the area of mechanism design. The first chapter examines two different ways of regulating a market – one where only a single firm is operating, being a regulated monopoly, and another one with two firms in the market, operating under regulated competition. We consider an industry with a technology admitting increasing returns to scale and a no-subsidy policy. We investigate the welfare effects of the two alternative regimes. The second paper studies the bidding behavior in a multi-dimensional procurement auction where both the principal and the agents have private information. The interest here is the consequences of having a principal that do not show its preferences. Absent these preferences from the principal, the agents will not know how much to bid in order to win the contract. The third chapter is a literature review on the current theory and experience of auctions and serves as a background for the last two chapters. In the fourth chapter, we propose an auction design that can increase the possibility to secure funding to finance infrastructure investments. Specifically, we look at the market for offshore transmission assets, but the auction can easily be used in other areas. In the last chapter, we propose an auction design where bidders might propose own suggested/different offshore (and associated onshore) transmission network configurations and where bidding for packages transmission assets is a possibility.

Bedømmelsesudvalg Lektor Niels Johannesen, Økonimiske Institut, Københavns Universitet (formand) Professor Anders Björklund, SOFI, Stockholms Universitet, Sverige Professor Jukka Pirrtilä, University of Tampere, Finland Resumé This dissertation is comprised of three self-contained chapters. The first two are closely related as they both apply a structural model of tax evasion and enforcement to administrative tax return and audit data stemming from a large-scale experiment carried out by the Danish tax authorities. Chapter one (joint with J.V. Pinje) investigates the distributional consequences of tax evasion and optimal auditing and, in particular, the prediction that there will be a regressive bias in effective average tax rates compared to statutory rates. We find that this is in fact the case when looking at effective tax rates as a function of income not subject to information reporting by third parties. However, the tax authorities’ use of third party reports in their effort to combat tax evasion counteracts the regressive bias, resulting in no evidence of a bias when considering effective tax rates as a function of total income (third-party reported as well as self-reported). In the second chapter (joint with J.V. Pinje) we estimate a structural model of tax evasion and enforcement and investigate the relative efficacy of tax authorities’ instruments to deter tax evasion. We find that instruments that work along the intensive margin of tax evasion (audits and penalty rates) are less effective than instruments that work along the extensive margin of tax evasion (third-party information reporting and the share of honest taxpayers in the population). The final chapter (joint with W. Kopczuk and C.T. Kreiner) contributes to the literature on intergenerational mobility by studying wealth correlations across three generations of Danes using administrative data on wealth. We estimate the intergenerational wealth elasticity (IWE) and provide a theoretical framework to allow a deeper understanding of the nature of the IWE. The IWE can be interpreted as a weighted average of elasticities corresponding to particular sources of intergenerational correlation (e.g., intergenerational correlation in preferences or earnings capacity) and is not as such a deep parameter. We find evidence to suggest that parental wealth serves as a sufficient statistic for the effect of parental characteristics on child wealth. Finally, using data for three generations, we find that conventional child-parents IWE estimates severely underestimate the long-term persistence in the formation of wealth across generations. "

The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to take the discussion a step further. Institutional designs differ in how efficient they can react to climate change. The workshop discusses how the study of response capacity can enhance implementation of climate policies at local and global levels. The 2009 Nobel Prize Laureate Elinor Ostrom argued for a multi-level and polycentric approach to climate change and sustainability. Several questions remain however. How to measure an institution’s response capacity to climate change and policies and resource management? How to map and understand limits of political willingness and institutional capacity to conduct mitigation and adaptation policies? At what level of politics is climate and environmental policies most efficiently implemented in a legitimate manner? The workshop discusses these and other questions related to the capacity of different institutional designs, financial infrastructures and cognitive barriers.

Course level: This is a course offered at masters level - it is open for students with a social sciences or humanities background (political, science, sociology, anthropology, economics, development studies etc.) Introduction and objectives:This new and innovative course seeks to explore the complex issue about state and societal development. When we look around the world today we find approx. 195 UN recognized states and the trend is towards more states rather than fewer. These states and societies have different histories, have had different trajectories and some have become more prosperous than others. They vary in size (geographically, population), access to natural resources, homogeneity (language, history, ethnicity, religion, culture etc.) and they are exposed to different geo-political challenges. The course will explore how certain states and their societies have developed over time and we will discuss current challenges to further state development. We will also discuss whether states today are undergoing a transformation which eventually will change the structure and character of contemporary states. The approach to this complex issue requires open mindedness and inter-disciplinarity. Thus we shall seek inspiration in historical comparative sociology, politics, economics, and comparative political economy. The course will provide an introduction to the field of state formation and state building research which is well established within historical sociology and comparative politics. Subsequently, we shall read some texts about state development and development issues in general and here we will draw upon literature from economics, political economy, sociology, and politics. Finally, we will look into literature on globalization and new challenges to state and societal development in the 21st century. Also here we discuss various analyses undertaken by economists, political scientists and political economists.
