Short presentation
I am interested in I am interested in internal migration in Sweden, particulary return migration. The importance of geographical units of data compilation to empirical results is another filed of interest to me. A third area of interest has to do with regional enlargement through extended commuting. A fourth area concerns the development of rural areas.
