This study assesses the spillover effect of the listed property companies that cover pan-Asian countries, namely Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, South Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. The impact of market integration will create a spillover effect to the countries’ economic performances, in particular the property market. As macroeconomic factors have high correlation with the performance of property security markets, it is therefore important to study the spillover effect by integrating the macroeconomic factors. This study has employed the exponential generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (EGARCH) technique to develop the volatility spillover effect among pan-Asian countries. The results reveal high volatility of listed property companies recorded in Hong Kong and China, while Singapore, The Philippines and Japan have shown low volatility spillovers. In terms of macroeconomic factors, gross domestic product (GDP) and money supply (MS) are the most significant factors in influencing the volatility spillover effect among pan-Asian countries. From the standpoint of regional investors, the volatility spillover characteristics of pan-Asian countries will aid property stakeholders in the region in developing their own methods for making investment decisions in the property security market. Furthermore, in uncertain conditions of the financial market, this study will elevate the transparency of the pan-Asian property portfolio market by providing information on the property market volatility spillovers.

This study assesses the impact on price informativeness of the market abuse directive adopted by European economic area member-states. Price informativeness is measured by the future earnings response coefficient that captures the ability of stock prices to reflect firms’ fundamentals and future profitability. A difference-in-differences analysis is performed to compare the evolution of this coefficient in countries that adopted the directive with that of countries from a control group. The preliminary findings suggest a decline in information content of stock prices about firms’ future profitability in the aftermath of the directive’s entry-into-force. Further exploration suggests however that the detrimental impact is concentrated on countries that neither improved the quality of enforcement regimes nor reinforced the supervisory powers and resources available to national financial authorities following the Directive’s adoption. The pre-existing state of the legal framework has also influenced the obtained results. The impact was particularly detrimental in countries with weaker legal institutions that did not undertake a shift in enforcement with respect to the new law, suggesting that the negative influence of inefficient bureaucracy and weak legal institutions on price informativeness was exacerbated by the adoption of the new rules.

This investigation approaches the effects of financial openness on renewable energy investments. With the purpose of the realisation this study, the installed capacity of renewable energy was used as proxy o renewable energy investments, and ten Latin American countries from 1980 to 2014 were utilised. The empirical results indicated that the per capita economic growth in the short-run has a positive impact on the installed capacity of renewable energy, while the variable financial openness and general government capital stock per capita in the long-run exerts a positive effect. The PVAR model pointed out to a positive impact of per capita economic growth, financial openness, and general government capital stock per capita in the short-run. The Panel Granger causality Wald test revealed the existence of bi-directional causality between the variables of the model.

This paper assesses the levels of regional and global stock market integration of emerging and frontier Asian countries. The long run relationships established amongst markets are investigated using Gregory and Hansen’s cointegration tests and Detrended Cross Correlation coefficients. The results of the empirical analysis indicate that all considered emerging markets display some evidence of both global and regional integration. In the case of frontier markets, however, this is true solely for Pakistan and, to a lesser extent, for Vietnam. These results are of interest, inter alia, to international investors interested in expanding the geographical scope of portfolio diversification strategies.

This study assesses the effects of the US financial and the Eurozone debt crises on a large set of frontier stock markets. Detrended Cross Correlation Analysis (DCCA) and Detrended Moving Cross Correlation Analysis (DMCA) are employed to investigate whether correlations between the crises-originating countries’ stock markets (US and Greece) and frontier stock markets increased from the calm to each crisis periods. Our results indicate that this was indeed the case and frontier markets were affected by both crises. DCCA and DMCA coefficients increased significantly for countries in Europe and also, although not so strongly, for Middle Eastern ones with the subprime crisis. In the case of the Eurozone debt crisis, the most affected countries were Slovenia, Romania, Nigeria, Kuwait, Oman and Vietnam. Evidence of contagion, using the test proposed by Guedes et al. (2018a, 2018b), is thus weaker in the case of the European debt crisis, leading to the conclusion that frontier stock markets were more affected by the US financial turmoil.

This study tests weak form efficiency in frontier markets. Mutual information and detrended fluctuation analyses are performed to assess global correlation and long range dependence in the stock markets of twenty three countries. The results indicate that Slovenia is the only case where there is evidence compatible with weak form efficiency. The relatively less inefficient markets are mainly located in Europe and America, and the relatively more inefficient mainly in the Middle East. This information is useful for investors, but also for the assessed countries’ regulators as they indicate that relevant impediments are preventing the exploitation of potential profitable opportunities.

Low density regions face many development challenges. In the Alentejo region of Portugal, and in many other Southern European regions, such challenges have been intensified by the cumulative effects of the financial and economic crises, and the subsequent austerity. In such context, and to promote region catching up and sustainable development, a number of policies designed to promote local entrepreneurial ecosystems have been reinforced. In this study, we focus on one of these policies' instruments – business incubation - and on the region of Alentejo, and describe five incubators implemented by a local regional development association (ADRAL), some municipalities, a national association of young entrepreneurs (ANJE), and a local association of entrepreneurs (NERE). We assess the incubators' distinctive characteristics and those of some incubated projects, aiming at identifying the specificities of this approach and its success determinants.

This paper examines whether one of the determinants of academic performance in higher education is the geographical distance separating the place of study and the place of family residence. Twelve years of data on students from a public university are utilized to estimate a model of relative academic performance, with an instrumental variables two-stage least squares estimator to account for possible endogeneity bias. The results indicate that distance is a negative determinant of academic performance and provide a new factor to take into account in reflexions over the impact of the spatial organization of higher education institutions.

In the 2010 Toronto summit, the leaders of the G-20 countries agreed on the implementation of urgent fiscal consolidation plans, following the expansionary policies adopted to curb the recessionary effects of the financial crisis. Unprecedented cuts in public expenditures have taken place, particularly in the European Union periphery, reviving the discussion on the optimal size of the public sector. Supporters of fiscal restraint defend that bigger governments tend to be more inefficient, its opponents assume that government size determines the effectiveness of its performance. However, the social and economic impacts from contractionary fiscal policies ultimately depend on the level of public sector efficiency. Relatively inefficient governments have more scope to consolidate without compromising social welfare. In this paper, we adopt a multiple decision aiding approach, not previously employed for the assessment of complex macroeconomic performances, and employ the ELECTRE TRI-C outranking method to categorize OECD countries on a set of criteria representing the quality of their public sectors. We then compare the obtained classifications with the share of each government's expenditures on GDP, to identify distinct levels of efficiency. Our analysis suggests that various countries exhibit a margin for efficiency gains, attenuating the social and economic effects of fiscal consolidation policies.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are multidimensional phenomena, with many interrelated determinants. Innovation is also frequently associated with scientific and technological research. Since innovative entrepreneurship is vital for the promotion of social and economic development, policy makers have for long nurtured potential synergies between universities and enterprises. In the context of wider strategies for regional development, the creation of Science and Technology Parks is one attempt to tackle societal challenges such as boosting competitiveness, job creation or the development of lagging regions. This chapter focuses on the only science and technology park located in the Portuguese region of Alentejo and is organized in five sections: introduction, survey of the literature on proximity and cooperation for innovation, Park description and analysis of a questionnaire developed to assess the effects of membership for resident firms, and a set of conclusions and implications on proximity and innovation for low density converging regions.

During the recent financial crisis, regulatory authorities banned short positions in various financial markets in attempts to moderate pressure from what were felt to be unfavorable, unwarranted, and largely speculative, price changes. Suppression of undesirable price moves was extended to the realm of sovereign debt in November 2012, when the European Union prohibited “naked” purchases of credit default swaps (CDSs) on sovereign bonds. Buying CDS protection is deemed to be naked if the buyer is not doing so to protect an existing long position in the underlying bonds. Academic theory, and empirical evidence from similar bans on short sales in other markets, suggests that such interference in a competitive financial market generally doesn’t work very well: Market participants find ways around the rule; liquidity is reduced in the constrained market; information flow is degraded and prices can become biased because investors with unfavorable beliefs are eliminated from the market; and volatility may increase. Using a “diff-in-diffs” strategy of contrasting the effect on CDS spreads in the 28 affected countries with those in the 56 unconstrained countries as this regulation went into effect, Silva, Vieira, and Vieira show that credit-spread volatility was reduced by the ban, but liquidity was hurt as bid–ask spreads widened and open interest declined. They also find that price informativeness was reduced, in particular by lengthening the time it took for negative information to enter CDS spreads.

In the 1980s, the renewal of academic interest in entrepreneurship as a factor of development highlighted the role of entrepreneurs in creating jobs and driving innovation. In the new century, fostering entrepreneurship became a public policy priority. In Portugal, the practice of creating business incubators has been gaining momentum and various institutions have developed business incubation activities. This study focuses on ADRAL – Agência de Desenvolvimento Regional do Alentejo, an agency for the regional development of Alentejo – and analyzes one of its instruments for the promotion of entrepreneurship – the creation of business incubators (also designated as enterprises' nests) located in Marvão and Montemor-o-Novo. These chapter focus on these two cases and assess the distinctive aspects of the partnerships between the development agency and the municipalities, and also the characteristics of the entrepreneurial projects and respective entrepreneurs, aiming at identifying the specificities of this approach and its success determinants.

Previous studies showed that private information gathered through banking services such as loans and syndicated debt is incorporated into CDS rates by large banks. Additionally, there is also evidence that innovations in CDS rates precede stock market returns prior to credit events. This paper adds to the literature by showing that the information obtained by major banks while providing M&A investment banking services is assimilated by CDS rates prior to the operation announcement. We also find strong supportive evidence that CDS innovations have incremental predictive power over stock returns before M&A announcements, and that this predictive power may be even greater when major dealers in the CDS market supplied investment banking services to one of the parts of the deal.

It has been argued that the CDS market may be a threat to financial stability. Such concern may stem from the counterparty risk assumed by market participants and the high sensitivity of these instruments to the business cycle. The open interest of the CDS market mirrors investors’ maximum exposure and captures aggregate inventory risk, liquidity risk, and trading activity. In this paper, we aim to identify the main determinants of the dynamics of two alternative measures of open interest, the gross and net notional amounts. Our results suggest that both asymmetry of information and divergence of opinions on firms’ future performance help explain the growth of the net notional amount of single-reference contracts, but systematic factors have a much greater influence. Net notional amount growth of different obligors co-varies in time and the dynamics of open interest is pro-cyclical. The CDS market expands following a positive stock market performance and contracts when large negative (positive) jumps in stock (CDS) prices are perceived by investors. In line with the market microstructure theory, funding costs and counterparty risk reduce CDS market players’ willingness to incur inventory risk, thus contracting gross notional amounts.

Recognizing the strategic relevance of higher education, various countries have established ambitious objectives for the percentage of graduates in their population by 2020. In some cases, without effective policies aimed at increasing domestic rates of participation in higher education, such goals will not be met. However, successful measures are difficult to design and to implement when the phenomena they target are complex and encompass many personal, cultural, social and economic variables. Such is the case of aggregate demand for higher education. Therefore, a precise knowledge of its more likely influences is indispensable to perform the forecasting exercises required to inform the process of policy design and, subsequently, to monitor its success. In this paper, we employ the partial least-squares regression, which allows modelling with many variables even with relatively few observations, to identify the most relevant determinants of aggregate demand for higher education in Portugal. Our choice of country is dictated by the availability of adequate data but our results, suggesting that the most important factors are policy dependent, and may thus be managed to support strategic educational objectives, may be useful in other national contexts.

African countries involved in monetary integration projects have been advised to peg their currencies against an external anchor before the definite fixing of exchange rates. In this study, we estimate optimum currency area indices to determine, between four alternatives, which international currency would be the most suitable anchor for Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) members and for a set of other selected African economies. We conclude that the euro and the British pound prevail over the US dollar or the yen; that the euro would be the best pegging for most, but not all, COMESA members; and that some of these economies display evidence of more intense integration with third countries, with which they share membership in other (overlapping) regional economic communities, than within COMESA

As instituições de ensino superior (IES), quando analisadas do ponto de vista da sua localização no território, produzem efeitos de natureza diversa: de natureza económico-financeira, de alterações no ambiente urbano, de qualificação do capital humano, de transferência de conhecimento entre as instituições de ensino superior e o tecido produtivo, entre outros. A frequência de ensino superior é entendida, na generalidade dos casos, pelos estudantes e pelas famílias, como um investimento. Um investimento numa vida profissional mais satisfatória e melhor remunerada e, consequentemente, numa melhor qualidade de vida. De um modo geral, a literatura acerca desta temática conclui que os indivíduos habilitados com ensino superior são os que melhor se integram no mercado de trabalho, os que mais rapidamente são colocados, tal como os que, em situações de desemprego, melhor respondem ao fenómeno. Além disso, quanto maior o nível de habilitação escolar mais elevadas são as remunerações, ou seja, os prémios salariais associados. Neste texto, que nos propomos apresentar na Conferência Investigação e Intervenção em Recursos Humanos, temos como objetivo discutir de que forma as IES portuguesas têm vindo a promover a melhoria da qualificação da população do país. Não obstante o conhecimento poder ser produzido e transmitido no seio das IES, entre docentes, investigadores e estudantes, mais determinante para o desenvolvimento territorial é a forma como ele chega às organizações. E uma das principais formas de fazer chegar o conhecimento às organizações e empresas é através do mercado de trabalho. Neste sentido, procuraremos perceber de que modo a oferta de ensino superior se articula com o mercado de trabalho e de que modo este último recebe os diplomados pelas IES. Para além de uma abordagem nacional a este fenómeno, procuraremos ainda verificar se há diferenças regionais na forma como o ensino superior e o mercado de trabalho se articulam. Este trabalho integra-se no Projeto PTDC/CPE-PEC/103727/2008, intitulado (Re)definição de uma rede de Ensino Superior em Portugal: desafios decorrentes da demografia, do crescimento económico e da coesão regional.
