There is limited literature exploring the relationship between the sentiment of fear and bond markets. This study analyzes the influence of fear generated by the coronavirus on bond markets, particularly on the yield of sovereign bond debt issued by the G7 countries (Germany, Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom). To accomplish this, search volumes compiled by Google Trends on the topic of coronavirus were used as a proxy for COVID-induced fear. The results from applying a panel data approach for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 December 2020, show that this fear positively impacts the 10-year sovereign bond yield. We show that a one-point increase in COVID-induced fear was associated with an increase in the weekly change in the sovereign bond yield of around 0.0007%. Thus, we found that COVID-induced fear was associated with an increase in country risk perception. These findings have important implications for policymakers by demonstrating the importance of searching a balance between health concerns and impacts on the economy to avoid increasing country risk. In addition, the results obtained show that in times of greater fear of the coronavirus, investors can obtain higher returns by investing in safe assets, such as sovereign bonds.

In recent years, one of the main priorities of companies has been to adapt their business activity and commercial strategy to be aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations, in its “2030 Agenda”. To overcome this challenge, companies develop and implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies. One of the objectives that have generated the most interest is Goal 5 dedicated to promoting gender equality. This study analyzes the gender equality evolution in companies as part of CSR through Change Management (CM). To do this, a longitudinal study was carried in the last ten years with an analysis of the content of various reports from four of the most important banks in Spain. The results corroborate the growing interest of the largest Spanish financial institutions in gender equality. Being women's access to employment, salary gap information, and the presence of women on the board of directors a priority. Likewise, the CM appears as a lever for the achievement of the SDGs by the entities, gaining relevance in recent years, and being linked to the strategic approach and business objectives for the development of CSR.

This paper examines the predictive power of Google trends on the grain's futures price movement. The aim was to validate if an algorithmic trading system designed was profitable and able of beating the market. In the research was used data from soybean futures and corn futures, both contracts are listed in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The results of the research show that its forecasting power is high when predicting soybean futures and corn futures prices. According to the findings, the formulation of such predictive analysis is a good option for individual traders, investors, and commercial firms.

The media and election campaign managers conduct several polls in the days leading up to the presidential elections. These preelection polls have a different predictive capacity, despite the fact that under a Big Data approach, sources that indicate voting intention can be found. In this article, we propose a free method to anticipate the winner of the presidential election based on this approach. To demonstrate the predictive capacity of this method, we conducted the study for two countries: the United States of America and Canada. To this end, we analysed which candidate had the most Google searches in the months leading up to the polling day. In this article, we have taken into account the past four elections in the United States and the past five in Canada, since Google first published its search statistics in 2004. The results show that this method has predicted the real winner in all the elections held since 2004 and highlights that it is necessary to monitor the next elections for the presidency of the United States in November 2020 and to have more accurate information on the future results.

One of the main concerns of the university is the ability to respond to the training needs of future workers. The disconnection between the theory and the practise causes demotivation because sometimes knowledge learned in the classroom has no direct application at work. The purpose of this study is to evaluate student motivation through investment decision-making real case using gamification techniques and an incentive system. The results showed a positive impact since students improved their learning and appreciated its usefulness. The main conclusion is the necessity to include real examples in the classroom.

Since the 1960s, Halal industry and Islamic Finance have grown in parallel without implementing adequate synergies. Halal tourism is a fast-growing sector of Halal industry, and the connection with Islamic Finance has hardly been researched. The aim of this paper is to analyse whether Islamic Finance can play an active role in developing Halal Tourism. This topic has not been empirically researched in the literature. The methodology is based on a fuzzy hybrid multi-criteria method that satisfactorily handles the imprecise nature associated with the information provided by Likert scales. Our results show how culture has a direct moderating effect on the degree of agreement that respondents have over the active role that IF can play, finding that English respondents agree more than Spanish and Arabs respondents. Similarly, our results also show that the knowledge of the Halal concept makes respondents agree more with the active role of Islamic finance. This study provides insights to the main stakeholders, and it can be strategically used to foster adequate synergy between Islamic Finance and the development of Halal tourist products as a way to specialize in a more sustainable tourism.

En esta investigación se analiza la utilización de las noticias de actualidad de prensa especializada como herramienta didáctica activa. En el marco del enfoque por competencias, metodología activa y participativa centrada en el estudiante, las rúbricas de evaluación aparecen como herramientas que aportan transparencia al proceso y son idóneas para evaluar las competencias en el aula. En concreto, la competencia transversal de análisis y síntesis permite identificar los elementos clave en una situación y las noticias de actualidad se muestran como una herramienta didáctica que crea un ambiente propicio para el aprendizaje, al tiempo que supone una aproximación constructivista a las competencias. Dados estos tres elementos, se planteó a estudiantes universitarios de Economía de la Empresa una tarea de análisis y síntesis de noticias de actualidad y se valoraron diversos aspectos sobre su grado de conformidad, motivación, interés y utilidad percibida. Los resultados muestran una predisposición de los estudiantes muy favorable a la utilización de noticias que vinculen la realidad socioeconómica con sus conocimientos académicos.
