In his doctoral dissertation ‘Essays on International Trade and Foreign Direct Investment’, Ignat Stepanok at the Stockholm School of Economics, studies those topics. The aim of his models has been to incorporate the available evidence in a plausible way and to bring the existing economic theories closer to what trade and investment data shows us.
Firms’ decision to enter or exit a market is affected by trade barriers. Ignat Stepanok models exporting as a learning experience.
– Firms invest resources in order to learn how to become exporters. Opening up a country for trade makes it a more attractive destination for foreign products.
Foreign firms invest more resources in learning how to export, which in turn increases domestic competition and firm exit. Exporting firms are on average more productive and the goods they sell are more expensive and of higher quality than those destined only for the domestic market.

All of us stand to benefit from large European health studies, but it is not always easy for researchers to collaborate across national borders. To help enable collaboration, the international EU-funded project BBMRI-LPC will spend the next four years working to increase researchers’ access to samples and data. Researchers at Uppsala University have a key role in the project.

Most mutations in the genes of the Salmonella bacterium have a surprisingly small negative impact on bacterial fitness. And this is the case regardless whether they lead to changes in the bacterial proteins or not. This is shown by Uppsala University scientists in an article being published today in the prestigious journal Science.
