Alternatives for Welfare Policy
This comprehensive survey of key welfare policy issues, in an age of globalization and ageing populations, draws on comparative OECD data and case studies from Scandinavia. Torben Andersen and Per Molander provide a forceful analysis of the main challenges to the traditional public sector welfare state and explore the principal policy options open to governments in advanced economies. They assess the advantages and disadvantages of alternative welfare regimes with less reliance on public sector involvement.
Economic Performance in the Nordic World
The Nordic model rests on two pillars: the social safety net and the provision of services like education, childcare, and healthcare for all. It can also be characterized as an employment model, since its financial viability depends upon a high labor participation rate with very few working poor. Economist Torben M. Andersen lays out the model's structure and highlights factors important for understanding its economic performance. He then looks into specific policy areas based on Denmark's experiences and addresses the challenges arising from new technologies and globalization.

The Danish Economy
International aspects are increasingly important for economic developments and for economic policy formation. This up-date comprehensive second edition provides an introduction to the structure and institutions of the Danish economy from an international perspective. The book provides a thorough treatment of key facts, integrating analyses of recent developments, as well as policy discussions. The book is designed for students and professionals who want a comprehensive overview of the Danish economy, its institutions, and its relations to the international economy. The Danish Economy, with its broad non-technical approach, may be used as both a textbook and as a handbook for those who want to focus on specific topics.
Public Policy and Economic Theory
Does economic theory improve the basis for economic policy decisions? This question is considered by internationally well-known scholars who, within their field of expertise, address the connection between economic theory and public policy. Each paper is followed by comments from two experts to highlight the spectra of views on public policy and economic theory.
The Danish Economy
As with previous editions of The Danish Economy: An International Perspective, this fourth edition gives a broad and non-technical introduction to developments, institutions, and policies in Denmark, with a focus on economic issues. The text is intended for a course giving a broad introduction to the Danish economy, or as a descriptive supplement to more theoretical courses. The book is structured such that it can be used both in its entirety and as a selection of separate chapters read independently. It carefully explains economic jargon and can therefore also be used by students who want a broad and coherent introduction to key aspects of the Danish economy.

The Danish Pension System
The need for pension reform is widely discussed against the backdrop of falling fertility rates and rising longevity. These developments challenge pension systems which in many countries already encounter problems with pension adequacy and financial sustainability. In the debate, reference is often made to Denmark as a model for pension system reform. This book offers the first coherent and in-depth description and analysis of the Danish pension system and its structure and performance. As is well-known to scholars and experts, there is a huge leap from considering general characterisations of pension systems in terms of various performance indicators to understand the structure of particular pension systems. This book aims to introduce these aspects to an international readership, explaining the structure and design of the pension system and its performance, benefit structure, regulation, critical reforms, and macroeconomic implications, as well as investment policies in pension funds in general.
Reform Capacity and Macroeconomic Performance in the Nordic Countries
The outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008 has had significant effects on economic activity, unemployment, and public finances for all European countries. However, European economies do not form a homogenous region, and any serious analysis of macroeconomic imbalances in Europe must account for the fact that different economic and political models and circumstances operate across the continent. This book focuses on the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) which have a relatively good record of undertaking fiscal and structural reforms after their own financial and debt crises in the 1980s and 1990s. The Nordic countries are small and open economies, well-known f...
Macroeconomic Perspectives on the Danish Economy
An authoritative and comprehensive guide to major economic policy issues in Denmark. Leading Danish and international economists discuss, in comparative context, the Danish economy's performance in the last 40 years, and assess the challenges which Denmark - in common with other small, open economies - faces in the global economy today. Major features include the continuing of academic analysis with policy-making experience and expertise, and the examination of topical issues including the impact of EMU on 'outsider' nations.
