Abstract: The statistician's guide to Utopia 2

This Friday I wrote an abstract titled "Statistikerens guide til utopia II: En demografisk analyse av øko-visjoner om befolkningsnedgang i det tredje årtusen" [The statistician's guide to utopia II: A demographic analysis of eco-visions of population decline in the third millennium], for a Festschrift to Professor Guri Larsen and two colleagues (University of Oslo). The article will be a follow-up to my 2008 article "The statistician's guide to utopia: The future of growth".

The abstract is, as the article will be, in Norwegian.
