Popis: Hanes N. and Wikstrom M. Does the local government structure affect population and income growth? An empirical analysis of the 1952 municipal reform in Sweden, Regional Studies. The main purpose of the paper is to analyse if the Swedish municipal reform in 1952 affected subsequent income growth and population movements. The empirical analysis is conducted using data for the period 1953 to 1959. The main result is that the municipal amalgamations had no effect on the municipal income growth patterns. However, a positive effect on population growth is found for the municipalities that were small in size prior to the reform. It is also found that the composition of the municipalities formed affected subsequent growth. Hanes N. et Wikstrom M.
