Preface
This book is based on papers presented at an international workshop organised in Jo¨nko¨ping, Sweden, in June 2005 to celebrate the 60th birthday of Professor Bo¨rje Johansson – a dear friend and admired colleague of ours. The book provides a limited sample of Bo¨rje Johansson’s broad ranging research interests.

This is a field of research in which Bo¨rje Johansson has been a great inspiration to us all, and to which he him-self has contributed with characteristic enthusiasm and insight as part of his prodigious output. The workshop and the creation of this book were sponsored by the Alfa Savings Bank Foundation in Jo¨nko¨ping, Jo¨nko¨ping International Business School, and the School of Public Policy, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA.
