ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ

What can we do to promote wellbeing, welfare, and happiness? Swedbank, the Savings Banks in Sweden, and the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness at the ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ are joining forces to enhance understanding of what builds wellbeing and to establish new, more human perspectives on economics.

Last week, the ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ (ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ) welcomed 48 participants from 15 prestigious Executive MBA programs worldwide for the Nordic Entrepreneurship course. We had representatives from AIM, Berkeley Haas, EGADE, ESMT, FGV EAESP, Fudan, IE University, IMD, NUS, Oxford Saïd, Strathmore, UNSW, Yale, ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ Riga, and ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ.

The Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE) celebrates 35 years of pioneering economic research, institution building and policy analysis.

With its eleven newly admitted companies, ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ Business Lab is reaching a new milestone: 307 startups have now passed through the incubator. More than one third of these were admitted just in the past four years.

Higher-income individuals live longer, not because they have better access to healthcare, but due to differences in income, preferences, and health shocks. Johanna Wallenius, Professor of Economics at the ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ, and Panos Margaris from Concordia University, reveal in a new study that lifestyle choices and preventive care habits play a crucial role in explaining this gap.

ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ President Lars StrannegÃ¥rd has been selected to speak on Swedish Radio's program Sommar i P1. He will share his thoughts on the importance of the fundamentally human, as machines are becoming smarter by the day.

ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ (ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ) is establishing a new chair with a focus on sports and business – the first of its kind in the School's history. The new professorship is made possible by a donation from Malin and Stefan Linder and will be held by Martin Carlsson-Wall.

A new collaboration aims to help CEOs in the business sector enhance their work in increasing diversity and inclusion. The collaboration is between Mitt Liv, a leading partner for diversity, equity and inclusion, and the ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ Executive Education, ranked best in the Nordics for leadership and business development according to the Financial Times.

Four researchers at the Department of Economics were awarded grants from the Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation and Tore Browaldh Foundation.

The ºÚÁÏÉçÏÂÔØ is making a big commitment to promoting wellbeing among its students. Starting in August, the School will be the first in the world to offer all new bachelor students a crash course in happiness and wellbeing.
