The value relevance of accounting information during the global financial crisis: evidence from Norway
2013
This study investigates how the recent financial crisis influenced the value relevance of accounting information. The empirical analyses show that the book values of equity explained most of the cross-sectional variation in stock prices during the crisis. Still, the earnings response coefficient increased significantly during the period of the crisis. The analysis suggests a separation between the information content of book values and earnings in a crisis situation. The findings are consistent with book values being highly relevant as a proxy variable for liquidation values in a crisis, whereas earnings, in contrast to the balance sheet, capture information about the future earning capabil…
An Exploratory Study of Financial Performance in CEE Countries

Our research investigates the performance of companies from Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries in the period after the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 with the aim of identifying the driving factors behind accounting- and market-based performance.

The sterilization of eco-criticism: from sustainable development to green capitalism
2015
[eng] Development has been a dominant and highly visible trope of the global political and economic life of the world since the 1950s. As such it has been inevitably linked to some of the most important social processes of this era: colonialism, globalization, postcolonialism, global ecological crisis, the rise of environmentalism, and more. The consolidation of the contemporary consumer global society came, hand by hand, with the certainty that it sustained a way of life that as a collateral damage, included a global ecological crisis. From many quarters of the world new voices raised concerns about the costs of globalization and proposed alternatives and solutions: modern eco-criticism wa…
The sterilization of eco-criticism: from sustainable development to green capitalism
2015
El desarrollo ha sido un tropo dominante de la vida política y económica global en el mundo desde 1950. Como tal ha estado inevitablemente conectado a algunos de los procesos sociales más importantes de esta era: colonialismo, globalización, post-colonialismo, crisis ecológica global, el crecimiento del ecologismo, entre otros. La consolidación de la sociedad del consumo contemporánea llegó de la mano de la certeza de que sostenía un sistema de vida que, como daño colateral, incluía una crisis ecológica global. Desde muchos lugares del mundo nuevas voces apuntaron críticas en relación a los costes de la globalización y propusieron alternativas y soluciones: el eco-criticismo. Este artículo …

Tra Stato e mercato: l'economia italiana nei turbolenti anni Settanta
2019
During the 1970s, Italy faced the decline of the political and economic order that had emerged in the first post-war decades, which in Western countries was characterised by financial stability, affirmation of mass industry, economic planning, sustained growth in income and consumption and an improvement in the living conditions of the working class. In Italy too, in the course of the 1970s, the model was at the top of the success on the one hand and showed unequivocal signs of exhaustion on the other. It was, for Italy and elsewhere, a transition prompted by causes of both an economic and political nature, and which came to an end in many ways in the 1980s.
Overcoming the crisis : the changing profile and trajectories of Latvian migrants
2016
The work was funded by the National Research Programme [grant number 5.2.4] and the Latvian Council of Sciences [grant number 514/2012]. Taking mobility between Latvia and Western Europe as an empirical lens, this analysis explores the complex relationship between spatial disparities in earning potential and migration. The very dramatic shifts in the economic and political context against which migration from Latvia has occurred over the period 2004-2012 make it an especially apposite focus of research investigating the link between mobility and labour market circumstances. As an analytical starting point, conventional economic theory broadly explains the movement of workers from lower to h…

Dental Public Health Landscape: Challenges, Technological Innovation and Opportunities in the 21st Century and COVID-19 Pandemic
2020
The convergent forces of rising costs, growing consumerism, expensive new treatments, sociodemographic shifts and increasing health disparities are exerting intense and unsustainable pressures on healthcare systems. As with the other health domains, these disruptive forces demand new approaches and delivery models for oral healthcare. Technological innovations and practices borrowed from the e-commerce and tech sectors could facilitate the move to a sustainable 21(st) century oral healthcare system, one that delivers high-quality, value-based care to wider groups of patients. The broad reach of mobile technologies and changing digital lifestyles provide unique opportunities for using remote…
