"This study explores how sector specific shocks in productivity and demand originating in the German motor vehicles industry impact on four other German manufacturing industries. Based on a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model with long run restrictions, technology and non-technology shocks are extracted. Impulse response analyses indicate that a technology shock in the motor vehicles industry permanently increase productivity in the four other industries by 1.5 to 4 percent and employment in two industries by 2 to 2.5 percent. Non-technology shocks in the motor vehicles industry have no sustained effects on productivity in the other industries but increase employment in two industries by 2.5 to 4 percent."--Editor.
This history explores the lives and trials of the accused during Swedens seventeenth-century witch hunts. It may come as a surprise that Sweden had a witch hunt and that it was a precursor to Salems witch trials. Mrit Hansdotter and Karl Karlsson lived in an age of war, religious upheaval, and general discord. Their home, Karlsgrden, was the site of tremendous heartache, tragedy, love and survival. It overlooked the Ljusnan River on a pilgrimage road between Uppsala and Saint Olafs shrine in Norway. Mrit was sentenced to death, twice, for things she could not have done. Karl was sentenced to death, twice, for things he might have done. Tapping into numerous historical sourcesmost of them unavailable in Englishauthor and historian Charlene Hanson Jordan details the customs, traditions, relationships, and lifestyles of seventeenth-century Sweden while exploring her familys history and considering the dangers of an imbalance of power between church and state that allowed the development and spreading of an extreme notion about evil.
