Does one size fit all? The impact of cognitive skills on economic growth

2016

Les Documents de Travail de l'IREDU, n°2016-1; This paper tests for heterogeneous effects of cognitive skills on economic growth across countries. Using a new extended dataset on cognitive skills and controlling for potential endogeneity, we find that the magnitude of the effect is about 60 per cent higher for low-income countries compared to high-income countries, and it more than doubles when low TFP countries are compared to high TFP countries. There are also marked differences across geographic regions. Using data on the share of the population with advanced and minimum skill levels, our results also indicate that high-income countries should focus on increasing the number of high skill…

Revamping Research on Unrelated Diversification Strategy: Perspectives, Opportunities and Challenges for Future Inquiry

2015

With the aim of achieving an advanced understanding of current research on unrelated diversification and providing fruitful groundwork to foster active interchange between disciplinary traditions, this paper detects articles from two relevant research streams; i.e., strategic management and financial economics. We first provide a brief overview of management thinking on unrelated diversification strategy. Then, we present a conceptual map that offers a comprehensive appreciation of unrelated diversification strategy antecedents (i.e., environmental and institutional, organizational value-enhancing, and managerial drivers), implementation process (i.e., managerial complexity, misallocation o…

Business Angel Investments: Risks and Opportunities

2015

Abstract For the last few years the need of improving the access to finance for the companies, especially SME's (small and middle enterprises), has been on the agenda in European Union. As long as the traditional financing such as bank loans became more complex to attract, the development of alternative investment, like seed and start-up capital investments, crowd funding, venture capital and Business angels, became a bold topic. Moreover, there is an opinion that development of alternative investment might be seen as a ground for boosting economic activity and entrepreneurship development. Even though a lot of various studies have been done on the evaluation and description of alternative …

Wpływ zróżnicowania narodowościowego na poziom kapitału społecznego lokalnej wspólnoty. Badania porównawcze w wybranych gminach województwa opolskiego

2019

Badania związane z pomiarem kapitału społecznego są w ostatnich 20 latach jednym z dominujących obszarów zainteresowań w naukach społecznych. Ciekawym zagadnieniem jest wpływ zróżnicowania narodowościowego na poziom kapitału społecznego. Jak twierdzi Robert Putnam, w warunkach amerykańskich zróżnicowanie to negatywnie wpływa na poziom kapitału społecznego. Realizowane w Europie inicjatywy badawcze wskazują jednak, że zróżnicowanie narodowościowe nie wykazuje znaczącej negatywnej korelacji z kapitałem społecznym, a nawet można znaleźć przykłady, gdy oddziałuje nań pozytywnie. W artykule przeprowadzono analizę ilościową w 20 gminach województwa opolskiego (10 jednolitych narodowościowo, 10 zr…

Les étudiants anticipent-ils correctement la valeur de leur diplôme sur le marché du travail ?

2013

Documents de travail de l'IREDU, n°2013-1; Ce travail analyse la manière dont les étudiants de première année d'université anticipent leurs salaires futurs, puis compare ces salaires à ceux qu'ils peuvent réellement observer sur le marché du travail. Nos résultats montrent globalement une surestimation des salaires anticipés d'environ 9 pour cent en début de carrière, ce qui est cohérent avec des travaux réalisés dans d'autres pays. En revanche, les salaires anticipés après dix ans de carrières sont supérieurs de 28 pour cent aux salaires observés des diplômés à ancienneté comparable. Les résultats soulignent également l'importance de l'environnement familial lors du choix des études supéri…
