Abstract [en]

Digital entrepreneurship may result in institutional turbulence and new initiatives are frequently blocked by vested interest groups who posit superior financial and relational resources. In this paper, we explore the role of cities in facilitating digital entrepreneurship and overcoming institutional resistance to innovation. Drawing upon two historical case studies of digital entrepreneurship in the city of Stockholm along with an extensive material on the sharing economy in Sweden, our results suggest that cities offer an environment that is critical for digital entrepreneurship. The economic and technological diversity of a city may provide the field conditions required for institutional change to take place and to avoid regulatory capture.

Abstract [en]

In this dissertation three central themes concerning the ownership and allocation in the city of Stockholm over long periods are examined.

The first theme property markets involves constructions of real estate price indexes spanning from 1726 to 2018. The second theme property rights concerns the regulation of private and public ownership of real estate from 1874 to 2010. The third theme entrepreneurship in urban environments is an examination of the efforts to influence property markets and property rights through entrepreneurship in difference sectors from the 1920s to the 2010s.

With an extensive amount of empirical material, this dissertation examines and relates the three themes to each other and shed new light on urban dynamics from an historical perspective. This dissertation is particularly important today when ownership and prices of real estate in cities are burning issues, and entrepreneurship is of central importance for development. The dissertation is a compilation thesis consisting of six articles.
