Due to the prevailing  circumstances as a result of covid-19, the licentiate seminar is going to be conducted remotely on a Zoom Webinar. We recommend that you connect to the Webinar in good time before the seminar starts. The audience will be able to see and hear but won't be able to send video and sound (to avoid the risk of disruption). After the seminar the audience will be able to ask questions, at least via the chat function.

To connect to the seminar:

1. Click on the Webinar-link: https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/68844609845
2. Click on the link at the bottom, “join from your browser” and you do not need to download Zoom
3. Click  ”I agree”
4. Enter your name and click on ”Join”
5. For light settings, click on the small arrow next to the microphone icon if needed. There is an audio test you can go through to make sure the right speaker is plugged in.

If you have any troubles when connecting to the link you’ll be able to contact Paula Lernstål da Silva via the chat function and she will try to guide you right.

Please note that the grading meeting will take place in a so-called “break-out room” also in Zoom (a digital group room). Once the opponent, the examiner and the supervisors have had their meeting, they will re-connect to the webinar to inform the respondent and the audience about the grade. Those of you, who want to hear the announcement of the grade, shall remain connected to the webinar.

Title: Socioeconomic Factors influencing the Spatial Spread of COVID-19 in the United States

******************************************************************************************************************

Date: Monday, 15 February
Time: 12:10-12:55

Room: https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/6596546911

Abstract 

As the COVID-19 pandemic has progressed in the U.S., "hotspots" have been shifting geographically over time to suburban and rural counties showing a high prevalence of the disease. We analyze daily U.S. county-level variations in COVID-19 confirmed case counts to evaluate the spatial dependence between neighboring counties. We find strong evidence of county-level socioeconomic factors influencing the spatial spread. We show the potential of combining spatial econometric techniques and socioeconomic factors in assessing the spatial effects of COVID-19 among neighboring counties.

The title is: CEO Health and Corporate Governance

Date: Monday, 21 February
Time: 12:10-12:55

Room:
https://ju-se.zoom.us/j/65965469113
 

Abstract

Boards hire and fire CEOs based on imperfect information. Using comprehensive data on 28 cohorts in Sweden, we analyze the role of a potentially important attribute—CEO health—in corporate governance. Boards hire CEOs who are healthier than other high-skill professionals, in particular in mental health. After hiring, CEOs’ health develops similarly to a control group of executives. Health predicts turnover, measured at appointment and during tenure. These results are consistent with boards appointing CEOs with health robust enough to withstand the pressures of the job, correcting mismatches occurring at the time of appointment, and responding expediently to health shocks.
