Do Firms Share the Same Functional Form of Their Growth Rate Distribution? A New Statistical Test
2011
We propose a hypothesis testing procedure to investigate whether the same growth rate distribution is shared by all the firms in a balanced panel or, more generally, whether they share the same functional form for this distribution, without necessarily sharing the same parameters. We apply the test to panels of US and European Union publicly quoted manufacturing firms, both at the sectoral and at the subsectoral NAICS levels. We consider the following null hypotheses about the growth rate distribution of the individual firms: i) an unknown shape common to all firms, with all the firms sharing also the same parameters, or with the firm variance related to its firm size through a scaling rela…
Agreements regarding the property relations of transnational couples and their effects under the application of the twin regulations
2021
It is a true and verifiable fact that the family institution has evolved over recent decades in Europe and throughout the world, but not uniformly or at the same time. This is because it is influenced by social and cultural connotations specific to each State. All of which are respected under EU Regulations 2016/1103 and 2016/1104. This work analyses the Twins Regulations, that gives the couples the possibility of choosing the jurisdiction (art. 7) and applicable legal system underpinning the property consequences of the marriage and registered partnerships (art. 22.1). However, we try to show you these rules absolute freedom of choice is not granted to the parties, because this freedom is …
Civilization and sexual abuse: selected Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience
2019
This paper offers a contrastive analysis of Indian captivity narratives and the Native American boarding-school experience. Indian captivity narratives describe the ordeals of white women and men, kidnapped by Indians, who were separated from their families and subsequently lived months or even years with Indian tribes. The Native American boarding-school experience, which began in the late nineteenth century, took thousands of Indian children from their parents for the purpose of “assimilation to civilization” to be facilitated through governmental schools, thereby creating a captivity of a different sort. Through an examination of these two different types of narratives, this paper reveal…
Exploring twitter for csr disclosure: influence of ceo and firm characteristics in latin american companies
2018
Social networks, which are characterised by accessibility and interactivity, offer great potential for dialogue between companies and stakeholders, for example as platforms for publishing information on aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR). In this paper, we use a synthetic index to analyse levels of CSR disclosure via Twitter, and identify explanatory variables of this disclosure by studying the demographic characteristics of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and of the company. This synthetic index was based on data for 93 companies located in the four countries of the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru), using categories based on the 2016 Global Reporting Ini…
Guardia y custodia compartida impuesta
2018
Cuando una pareja con hijos comunes menores de edad deja de convivir surge la necesidad de determinar las reglas o normas por las que se regirá la nueva situación familiar. Estas normas pueden ser de carácter económico o personal. Entre las personales, y una sobre las que más les cuesta decidir a los progenitores, es la relativa al cuidado de los hijos y a cómo se va a dar continuidad a las relaciones con ellos una vez se haya producido la separación. Lo mejor sería que los propios progenitores pudieran llegar a un acuerdo al respecto ya que ellos son los que mejor conocen a sus hijos y los mejores conocedores de la situación que están viniendo. Pero en defecto de acuerdo será necesario det…
