Factores determinantes de la salida a bolsa de una compañía. El caso español
2016
El objetivo de la Tesis Doctoral es estudiar los factores determinantes de la salida a bolsa en el mercado continuo español. Para ello considera una muestra de 44 empresas no financieras que salieron a bolsa en España en el periodo comprendido entre 1997 y 2010 y utiliza una muestra de control de empresas que eran susceptibles de salir a bolsa en el mismo periodo, pero que optaron por no hacerlo. Para el logro del objetivo señalado, la Tesis se estructura en una Introducción general, cuatro capítulos, una sección en la que se recogen la discusión y las conclusiones de la Tesis, las referencias bibliográficas y siete anexos. El capítulo primero aborda tres cuestiones relacionadas con la sali…
Los determinantes del endeudamiento y del spread de crédito y liquidez de los bonos de gobiernos subsoberanos europeos
2014
La descentralización política y administrativa en Europa desde el fin de la segunda guerra mundial ha sido muy intensa, lo que ha propiciado la asunción de competencias por parte de las regiones, vinculadas en general con el estado de bienestar, y que los marcos de relación con las administraciones centrales tienen unos rasgos muy comunes cuya fortaleza depende del país de que se trate. Países de naturaleza federal como Alemania, Austria o Bélgica que junto a España que también tiene un nivel elevado de competencias descentralizadas en contraposición a Francia e Italia. En casi todos los marcos institucionales analizados, contienen reglas fiscales internas que permiten controlar el gasto pú…
Automatic regrouping of strata in the goodness-of-fit chi-square test
2019
Pearson’s chi-square test is widely employed in social and health sciences to analyze categorical data and contingency tables. For the test to be valid, the sample size must be large enough to provide a minimum number of expected elements per category. This paper develops functions for regrouping strata automatically no matter where they are located, thus enabling the goodness-of-fit test to be performed within an iterative procedure. The functions are written in Excel VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and in Mathematica. The usefulness and performance of these functions is illustrated by means of a simulation study and the application to different datasets. Finally, the iterative use of …
Differences in Life Expectancy Between Self-Employed Workers and Paid Employees when Retirement Pensioners: Evidence from Spanish Social Security Rec…
2021
The aim of this paper is to examine differences in life expectancy (LE) between self-employed (SE) and paid employee (PE) workers when they become retirement pensioners, looking at levels of pension income using administrative data from Spanish social security records. We draw on the Continuous Sample of Working Lives (CSWL) to quantify changes in total life expectancy at age 65 (LE(65)) among retired men over the longest possible period covered by this data source: 2005–2018. These changes are broken down by pension regime and initial pension income level for three periods. The literature presents mixed evidence, even for the same country–for Japan and Italy, for example–with some studies …
Innovación y bienestar social
2021
En este artículo se analizan los efectos de la innovación sobre el bienestar social en una muestra de 35 países de la OCDE desde 1960 hasta la actualidad. Nuestro punto de partida es la estimación de ecuaciones de convergencia, similares a las utilizadas en la literatura empírica del crecimiento económico, modificadas para analizar los determinantes de una medida del bienestar que va más allá de la renta per cápita. Estas ecuaciones, proporcionan un adecuado marco conceptual y permiten justificar la inclusión de otros regresores con los que analizar los efectos de la innovación a largo plazo. Las estimaciones se realizan tanto para una muestra de datos de corte transversal, como de datos de…
Automatic regrouping of strata in the chi-square test
2017
Pearson´s chi-square test is widely employed in social and health science to analyze categorical data and contingency tables and to assess sample representativeness. For the test to be valid the sample size must be big enough to provide a minimum number of expected elements per category. If the researcher chooses to regroup the strata in order to solve the failure on the minimum size requirement, the existence of automatic re-grouping procedures in statistical software would be very useful, especially when tests are applied sequentially. After comprehensively reviewing the software that can carry out this test, we find that, with a few exceptions, there is no automatic regrouping of the str…
Actuarial accounting for a notional defined contribution scheme combining retirement and longterm care benefits
2018
This paper develops a social insurance accounting model for a notional defined contribution (NDC) scheme combining retirement and long-term care (LTC) contingencies. The procedure relies on standard double-entry bookkeeping and enables us to compile a “Swedish” type actuarial balance sheet (ABS) following a framework equivalent to an open group approach. This methodology is suitable for reporting the system’s solvency status and can show periodical changes in the system’s financial position by means of an income statement. The information underpinning the actuarial valuation is based on events and transactions that are verifiable at the valuation date, without considering expected future tr…
Life care annuities to help couples cope with the cost of long-term care
2022
This paper examines the possibility of including cash-for-care benefits in life care annuities (LCAs) to help retired couples cope with the cost of long-term care (LTC). It aims to assess how much it would cost to add an extra stream of payments to annuities for couples should either or both require LTC. We present an actuarial method based on array calculus to value this type of LCA. The impact of introducing the LTC contingency on the annuity is assessed by comparing the initial benefits in both cases. The difference in the initial benefit arises due to the annuity factors used to compute the benefits. We also analyse how willing couples would be to choose this type of LCA. Using Australi…
A microeconometric analysis of the springboard subsidiary: The case of Spanish firms
2015
Abstract This paper provides a microeconometric analysis of the distinctive characteristics of springboard subsidiaries that have a positive impact on the subsidiaries’ performance. Based on panel data estimations for subsidiaries of European multinational companies with a presence in Spain, the authors found that if the subsidiary is located in the springboard country, then the performance improvement (increase in profit margin) of the subsidiary is about 49 percentage points. When the Spanish subsidiary is considered a springboard subsidiary, its performance is 7.7 percentage points higher than the performance of other subsidiaries that are not springboard subsidiaries. If the subsidiary …
