9401940 Johansen This three-year award supports U.S.-Scandinavia-Baltic cooperation in regional sciences and economics. The principal investigators are: Harley Johansen of the University of Idaho; Folke Snickars of Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology; and Inna Shteinbuka of the Latvian Ministry of Finance. The investigators propose to explore business development by Scandinavian firms in the Baltic States and Russian Federation. They will investigate patterns associated with the movement of western firms into the region and with regional development and processes. The project will start with a case study of a Finnish oil company and their Baltic strategy for locating petrol stations. This will be followed by studies on Swedish and Norwegian firms. The project takes advantage of Scandinavian experience and longstanding ties to the region and access to data and information. The Swedish investigator heads an important program in regional sciences and economics and brings to this collaboration his expertise and ties to the Latvian Ministry of Finance and University of Latvia. Investment in private enterprise, especially in the form of joint ventures between western companies and local partners, is a priority for Latvia and the other Baltic States and Russian Federation. The project will form a foundation for understanding the process and geographic patterns associated with movement of western firms. Its results will be useful to Baltic economists; to development of market companies in the region; and to western companies who have an interest in investing in the former Soviet Union. ***

9401940约翰森这个为期三年的奖项支持美国-斯堪的纳维亚-波罗的海在区域科学和经济方面的合作。主要研究人员是：爱达荷大学的哈雷·约翰森；瑞典皇家理工学院的Folke Snickars；拉脱维亚财政部的Inna Shteinbuka。调查人员建议调查斯堪的纳维亚公司在波罗的海国家和俄罗斯联邦的业务发展情况。他们将调查与西方公司进入该区域以及与区域发展和进程有关的模式。该项目将首先对一家芬兰石油公司及其在波罗的海地区定位加油站的战略进行个案研究。随后将对瑞典和挪威的公司进行研究。该项目利用了斯堪的纳维亚的经验和与该地区的长期联系，并获得了数据和信息。这位瑞典研究员领导着区域科学和经济学的一个重要项目，并将他的专业知识和与拉脱维亚财政部和拉脱维亚大学的联系带到这项合作中。对私营企业的投资，特别是西方公司与当地伙伴之间的合资企业的投资，是拉脱维亚、其他波罗的海国家和俄罗斯联邦的优先事项。该项目将为理解与西方公司迁移相关的过程和地理模式奠定基础。其结果将对波罗的海的经济学家有用；负责区域内市场公司的发展；以及有意投资前苏联的西方公司。＊＊＊
