Essays on Finnish Economic Growth and Productivity, 1860-2005

This study examines Finnish economic growth. The key driver of economic growth was productivity. And the major engine of productivity growth was technology, especially the general purpose technologies (GPTs) electricity and ICT. A new GPT builds on previous knowledge, yet often in an uncertain, punctuated, fashion. Economic history, as well as the Finnish data analyzed in this study, teaches that growth is not a smooth process but is subject to episodes of sharp acceleration and deceleration which are associated with the arrival, diffusion and exhaustion of new general purpose technologies. These are technologies that affect the whole economy by transforming both household life and the ways in which firms conduct business. The findings of previous research, that Finnish economic growth exhibited late industrialisation and significant structural changes were corroborated by this study. Yet, it was not solely a story of manufacturing and structural change was more the effect of than the cause for economic growth. We offered an empirical resolution to the Artto-Pohjola paradox as we showed that a high rate of return on capital was combined with low capital productivity growth. This result is important in understanding Finnish economic growth 1975-90. The main contribution of this thesis was the growth accounting results on the impact of ICT on growth and productivity, as well as the comparison of electricity and ICT. It was shown that ICT s contribution to GDP growth was almost twice as large as electricity s contribution over comparable periods of time. Finland has thus been far more successful as an ICT producer than a producer of electricity. Unfortunately in the use of ICT the results were still more modest than for electricity. During the end of the period considered in this thesis, Finland switched from resource-based to ICT-based growth. However, given the large dependency on the ICT-producing sector, the ongoing outsourcing of ICT production to low wage countries provides a threat to productivity performance in the future. For a developed country only change is constant and history teaches us that it is likely that Finland is obliged to reorganize its economy once again in the digital era.

Oppineiden talossa : Helsingin yliopiston slavistien kansainväliset verkostot Suomen Yliopistollisen Avustuskomitean toiminnan yhteydessä vuosina 1921-1925.

Tutkimuksessani tarkastelen kolmen Helsingin yliopiston slavistin, kirjastonhoitaja Andrei Igelströmin, kansan-runoudentutkija Viljo Johannes Mansikan ja kielentutkija Jooseppi Julius Mikkolan, kansainvälisiä tieteellisiä ja poliittisia verkostoja. Nämä verkostot muodostuivat venäläisten tiedemiesten avustamiseksi perustetun Suomen Yliopistollisen Avustuskomitean kansainvälisen toiminnan ja siihen keskeisesti liittyneiden venäläisten tieteellisten julkaisujen välityksen ja Helsingin yliopiston konsistorin alaisen Venäläisten kirjaston ostohankkeen ympärille vuosina 1921-1925. Tutkimuksessani olen pyrkinyt vastamaan kysymyksiin: Millaista kansainvälistä tieteellistä ja poliittista yh-teistyötä suomalaiset slavistit Avustuskomitean yhteydessä harjoittivat? Millaisia tavoitteita Igelström, Mansikka ja Mikkola asettivat Suomen Yliopistollisen Avustuskomitean toiminnalle? Millaisia poliittisia ja tieteellisiä toimintamuotoja Avustuskomitea slavistien ohjaamana sai, mitä ulkopuolisia tavoitteita avustustoimintaan liittyi, ja lopulta miten Avustuskomitean toiminta heijasteli kansainvälisen tieteellisen yhteistyön muutosta uudessa valtiollisessa tilanteessa 1920-luvun alussa? Aihettani olen jäsentänyt verkosto-käsitteen ja verkostoteorian mallien avulla. Keskeisiä lähteitä ovat olleet Igelströmin, Mansikan ja Mikkolan Avustusko-miteaa käsittelevä kirjeenvaihto, Avustuskomitean kirjanpito ja avustustoimintaan osallistuneiden yhteisöjen julkaisemattomat ja julkaistut raportit sekä muistiot. Tutkimuksessa on käytetty historiantutkimuksen mene-telmiä, ja se liittyy Helsingin yliopiston slaavilaisen filologian oppiaineen ja Venäläisen kirjaston historiaan. Tutkimus osoitti Igelströmin, Mansikan ja Mikkolan kansainvälisten tieteellisten verkostojen olleen ratkaisevassa asemassa Suomen Yliopistollisen Avustuskomitean muodostamisessa ja kansainvälisen avustustoiminnan järjestämisessä. Tieteellisistä verkostoista keskeisessä asemassa oli Pietarin Tiedeakatemian tieteellisten julkaisuiden myynti ja vaihto. Painotuotteiden vaihto länsimaisten tieteellisten instituuttien kanssa järjestettiin Venäläisen kirjaston ja sen kirjastonhoitajan Andrei Igelströmin välityksellä. Vuosina 1921 1923 Igelströmin hallinnoima vaihtokeskus oli kansainvälisesti ainutlaatuinen ja rakensi uudelleen tieteellisen yhteistyön Suomen ja Venäjän välille sekä loi edellytyksiä kansainvälisen tiedeyhteistyön elvyttämiselle venäläisen tiedeyhteisön kanssa. Poliittisten verkostojen näkökulmasta suomalaisten slavistien kontaktit T ekkoslovakian ulko-asianhallinnon kanssa paljastuivat läheisiksi ja yhteistyö ulottui avustustoiminnan lisäksi myös Suomen kau-pallisten etujen edistämiseen ja kysymykseen venäläisten emigranttien asemasta T ekkoslovakiassa 1920-luvun alkuvuosina. Venäläisten emigranttien asema Prahassa ja Suomen Yliopistollisen Avustuskomitean välinen yhteys konkretisoitui Venäläisen kirjaston ostohankkeessa. Kirjastonostohankkeen syyksi on tässä tutkimuksessa osoitettu T ekkoslovakian ulkoasianhallinnon action russe -politiikka ja T ekkoslovakian valtion pyrkimys luoda edellytyksiä uudelle tieteelliselle orientaatiolle, johon slavistisen tutkimuksen ja kielitieteiden kehitys 1920-luvun Prahassa liittyivät. Aloitteentekijöiksi kirjastonostohankkeeseen on osoitettu Helsingissä ja Prahassa toiminut ukrainalainen emigrantti Vladimir Tukalevski, joka yhdessä Igelströmin ja T ekkoslovakian varaulkoasiain-ministerin Václav Girsan kanssa suunnitteli Venäläisen kirjaston ostamista ja sen siirtämistä Prahaan.

Ühis- ning erijooni Soome ja Eesti Kaitseliitude puhkpillimuusikas aastatel 1925-1934.

This study focuses on the similarities and differences between the Estonian Defence League and the Finnish Civil Guard brass bands during the period 1925-1934. By 1934 this paramilitary volunteer state defence organisation had reached stability in its development, such that social, cultural and patriotic education of the people - with the help of brass band music among other means- had acquired a significant role, in addition to prioritised military and sports activities. The study begins with introductory paragraphs I and II, which describes the founding of the organisations, their participation in the Wars of Independence and their subsequent peace time activities as well as their representation in the media at the time. The thesis also briefly introduces military music in Finland and Estonia, as well as describes the influence of military music on the Defence League brass bands. The period under review includes the global economic crisis, which undoubtedly concerned the Defence League/Civil Guard and the Lapua and War of Independence movements, which greatly affected the apolitical principles of the organisations. The main emphasis of the thesis is the Defence League/Civil Guard brass band`s musical activities in two counties - Etelä-Pohjanmaa and Pärnumaa, while also including a general overview of the Estonian Defence League brass bands´ activities. One of the most important benefits of the thesis is its introduction of the brass band repertoire in use at the time, which was played by both professional and as well as amateur orchestras the latter of which also included the brass bands of the Defence League/Civil Guard and the Fire Services. Brass band music held a secondary, yet significant position in the Defence League/Civil Guard, where the orchestra as a musical grouping was obliged to perform not only at inner-organisational and national celebrations but also at any event requiring brass band music, such as song festivals, singing days, and other local cultural events. The professional preparation of the band conductors at the beginning of the period under review was not well specialised, but the training of the Defence League/Civil Defence brass band conductors was carried out regularly in both republic according to the opportunities and dedicated training programmes available. The musicians of the Defence League/Civil Defence brass bands were at the same time members of the military organisations as well as amateur musicians, which placed upon them extra demands - they were under close public supervision in all situations. Based on the principle of chronology it appeared that both Finnish and Estonian respective organisations´ brass bands used the gradually improving economic situation for purchasing musical instruments, obtaining repertoire and training musicians/conductors. Despite the fact that brass band music in the Defence League/Civil Guard was considered an amateur activity and a hobby, the more far-reaching objective of the organisation was to resemble the Defence Forces´ orchestras as closely as possible in all aspects. The Defence League/Civil Guard brass band music definitely had a significant influence on forming, developing and enriching music life in both republics. The reviewed nine-year period introduced the musical activities of the Defence League/Civil Guard against the background of the everyday life of the organisation and the need for brass band music and its continuity in the voluntary state defence institutions of both republics.

Revalidation of Natrix clerki Wall, 1925, an overlooked species in the genus Amphiesma Dumeril, Bibron & Dumeril, 1854 (Squamata: Natricidae)

Natrix clerki Wall, 1925, previously known from its sole holotype and considered a synonym of Amphiesma parallelum (Boulenger, 1890), is resurrected in the genus Amphiesma on the basis of the analysis of morphological variation in 28 specimens of ``Amphiesma parallelum'' auctorum, plus six living, unvouchered specimens discovered in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, India, and one vouchered specimen from Talle Valley in Arunachal Pradesh. Specimens from northeast India (Nagaland), northern Myanmar, and China (Yunnan), previously identified as Amphiesma parallelum either in the literature or in museum's catalogues, are also here referred to A. clerki. The holotype of Amphiesma clerki is redescribed. As a consequence, the definition of Amphiesma parallelum is modified. A. parallelum inhabits the Khasi Hills and Naga Hills in Northeast India, whereas A. clerki has a wider range in the Eastern Himalayas, northern Myanmar and Yunnan (China). Amphiesma clerki differs from A. parallelum by its longer tail, dorsal scales more strongly keeled, scales of the first dorsal scale row strongly keeled vs. smooth, a postocular streak not interrupted at the level of the neck, and a much more vivid pattern on a darker background colour. Characters of species of the Amphiesma parallelum group, i.e. A. clerki, A. parallelum, A. bitaeniatum, A. platyceps and A. sieboldii are compared. A key to this group is provided.

Movement of yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Block 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary as determined by acoustic telemetry

We tagged a total of 14 yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Bloch 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) inside the Conch Reef Research Only Area (a no-take marine reserve) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in November 2001. Both species are heavily exploited in the region. Our objective was to characterize site fidelity and movement behavior along the reef tract to the north and south of the release point. Fishes were collected by baited hook and line from the surface, surgically-tagged with coded-acoustic transmitters, and returned to the reef by snorkelers. Tracking of fish movement behavior was conducted by five acoustic receivers deployed on the seafloor from Davis Reef in the south to Pickles Reef in the north. Fishes were tracked for up to eight months. Results indicated that the majority of signal detections for individual fish from both species were recorded at the two Conch Reef receivers. Limited movement from Conch Reef to Davis Reef was recorded, but no signal detections were recorded at the two sites to the north of Conch Reef. These results suggest that both species show site fidelity to Conch Reef. Future studies will seek to characterize this site fidelity with increased temporal and spatial resolution at Conch Reef.
