2016

The Relationship between Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Economic Growth: a Comparison between Italian Macro-Regions.

Entrepreneurship can play a key role, especially for the regions of Southern Italy marked by significant delays in development than the regions of Central/North. The paper try to launch a reflection on the role of the University in the creation of entrepreneurship through two spe…

Les formations professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur en France au prisme de l'insertion et de la mobilité sociale des diplômés

2014

La professionnalisation des formations dans l'enseignement supérieur en France s'est développée ces dernières décennies avec pour objectif d'améliorer l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés dans un contexte de dégradation de leurs conditions d'insertion. À partir des trois dernières enquêtes Génération du Céreq, ce travail questionne la performance de ces filières professionnelles par rapport aux filières plus académiques de l'enseignement supérieur, en période de crise économique. Certaines formations, comme par exemple les licences professionnelles, garantissent toujours de bonnes conditions d'insertion, pour autant les effets concernant la mobilité sociale en début de carrière, sont plus nu…

Contribution to the Study of the Organizational Slack : The Case of Investment Expenditure in a Big Industrial Company This paper contributes to research on organizational slack.

A longitudinal case study has been carried out in an industrial company from 2006 to 2010

The impact of budget deficit on the economic development of Romania

2012

This paper empirically analyzes the impact of budget deficit on the economic development of Romania. Using the OLS estimates for quarterly series for the period from 2001 to 2011, the results of the estimates prove that there is an indirect relationship between budget deficit and economic growth of Romania. According to the best statistically significant model from the three different model tested, we reached the result that one percent rise of budget deficit gives a 1.36 percent fall in real GDP. This result sustains the neoclassical hypothesis and is against the Keynesist hypothesis or the Ricardian equivalence.

THE IMPACT OF FISCAL POLICY ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE COUNTRIES OF EASTERN EUROPE

2015

This paper deals with the effects of fiscal policy on economic growth in 10 countries of Eastern Europe. For this analysis we to use two regression models. The results of the first model provide information on the factors that influence economic growth. Thus, direct taxes, indirect taxes, total income taxes, social contributions and the economic crisis had an effect on economic growth. Of these variables, total taxable income had a positive effect and indirect taxes and social contributions had a direct negative effect on economic growth. In the second model, the analysis confirmed that a significant effect on economic growth have had other direct taxes, social contributions of the employer…

Global Divergence in Growth Regressions

2013

This paper extends the standard growth regression model by adding an assumption that a country follows the global technology frontier either fully or partially. This additional assumption changes significantly the growth regression model and its results in three main ways. First, it shows that although a country converges to its long-run growth path, this path can diverge from the countries at the global frontier. We measure the degree of divergence for each country and find that most indeed diverge from the frontier. Second, we estimate growth dynamics without controlling for additional variables. Third, our new method enables us to disentangle the effects of the explanatory variables on t…

Income inequality and famine mortality: Evidence from the Finnish famine of the 1860s

2021

This article examines whether economic inequality intensified the adverse effects of harvest, price, and income shocks during a famine. Using a parish-level longitudinal dataset from the Finnish famine of the 1860s, it shows that a substantial proportion of the excess mortality experienced during the famine resulted from a decline in agricultural production, a decline in incomes, and a surge in food prices. The findings indicate that the adverse effects of food output fluctuations were intensified by increasing income inequality and decreasing average income, while the market-transmitted shocks were weakened by a contraction of disposable income. The results are corroborated with multiple a…

Job strain among blue-collar and white-collar employees as a determinant of total mortality: a 28-year population-based follow-up.
