VD-ersättning och ägarkoncentration: En studie om ersättningsnivåerna i svenska börsbolag
This study examines whether the ownership structure of Swedish firms contributes to explain the variations in executive pay. A regression analysis was performed on 102 companies listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The analysis suggests a negative relationship between ownership structure and executive pay after taking company profitability and size into account. The result is in line with previous studies and the agency theory. This indicates that large shareholders have a stronger position in Swedish companies or that large shareholders monitor the management to a larger extent, rather than providing incentives.

Leder hög bonus till sämre redovisningskvalitet
This paper seeks to investigate whether there is a positive relationship between bonus as a part of total executive compensation and lower accounting quality among Swedish companies. In this study, accounting quality is defined as the degree by which a company's earnings are subject to earnings management. To detect earnings management accrual-based modified Jones model is applied to companies listed on the Large-, Mid- and Small-Cap lists on the Stockholm stock exchange during 2011. We find a statistically significant positive relationship between bonus as a part of total executive compensation and lower accounting quality. Thus, in line with prior research, our results suggest that managers, interested in maximizing their bonus, will select income increasing accruals to manage earnings upwards.
XML som informationsbärare för EDI
Information handling has been a key issue for different companies for a long
time. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is used to transfer different business
documents from one company to another. This is done in such way that the
information itself is separated from how this information is stored and handled
in the companies internal systems. As different companies have different
systems there is a need for a standardised format for this exchange.
There is a big difference between EDI-systems based on what kind of
EDI-standard is used. The most common standard in Europe is EDIFACT, but with
increased interest of using the Internet for business communication there is a
need for a standard that is adjusted for use over the Internet.
