Tourism association development tendencies in Latvia

A New Perspective on the Relationship between Trading Variables and Volatility in Futures Markets
2017
In this paper, we study the relationship between trading-related variables and volatility in futures markets, from a new unifying perspective, which is based on the separation of open and closed positions. Volatility in stock index futures markets (Standard & Poor’s 500, DAX 30 and Nikkei 225) is related to the flow of contracts entered into the markets and the flow of contracts that are closed out. In general, the daily changes in the number of open and closed positions are both positively correlated with volatility. Additionally, there is a stronger positive relationship between the number of open (respectively, closed) positions and contemporaneous volatility on those days when t…
Configurational theory in traditional manufacturing industries: a new model of high-performing small and medium-sized enterprises
2020
The goal of this study is to provide a model of high-performing small and medium-sized companies to address the new environmental challenges in traditional manufacturing industries. Adopting a configurational logic and following an inductive approach based on four high-performing firms, this paper provides new empirical evidence on how the steps followed by these firms are adjusted to the high-performance models prescribed by the literature. In doing so, it also offers a dynamic view of the interrelationships between the strategy and the new conditions of the environment. At a practitioner level, the paper illustrates which recipes are more appropriate to prescribe recommendations for a mor…
Asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across US states
2019
This paper provides new empirical evidence of the asymmetric effects of monetary policy shocks across regions. Using a measure of unanticipated changes in the Fed's policy rates over the period 1969Q3–2008Q4 and a local projection method extended to account for spatial effects, we find that monetary policy tightening leads to a long-lasting decrease in states' real personal income, with asymmetric effects across states that are amplified by spatial spillovers. The paper then investigates the role played by several transmission channels finding larger contractionary effects of monetary policy tightening in states with higher manufacturing share, smaller firms, smaller banks and higher house …
Transnational ties: Resource or stressor on Peruvian migrants' well‐being?
2020
This paper explores the role of types and the intensity of transnational ties for migrants' well‐being from a global perspective. Based on a literature review, two competing hypotheses are formulated—transnational resources versus transnational stress—according to which transnational ties have either a positive or a negative effect on migrants' well‐being. Drawing on data from a large‐scale survey of Peruvian migrants worldwide, this paper examines the strength and direction of the relationship between Peruvian migrants' transnational ties and poor well‐being, the latter measured as depression/loneliness as a principal concern. While the multivariate regression results do not support the tr…

Age of precarity : segmentation patterns in Rhone-Alps economic branches
2010
29 p.; Our paper analyse the evolution of the main labour variables in French region of Rhône-Alps for different age groups. We carry out an empirical analysis of the evolution of the labour segmentation patterns between 1995 and 2007, based on administrative records. Our aim is to compare evolution of regional employment model by age groups, sex and economic branches. We analyse inequalities in wages and contract-stability, in a global point of view and focusing in the emergent tertiary sectors of tourism, transport and personal services. We conclude that general destabilisation and new global and sectoral segmentation patterns have to be considered by age groups as a relevant aspect to un…
