Pesquisa científica em contabilidade gerencial: estudo comparativo entre Espanha e Brasil

2012

Nas últimas décadas a contabilidade gerencial teve um desenvolvimento acentuado, com inclusão de novos temas e métodos de investigação, revistas exclusivas, e principalmente estudos com perspectivas multidisciplinares. Uma das formas de perceber e entender esse nível de desenvolvimento é estudar suas publicações nas principais revistas. Assim, o objetivo é realizar um estudo comparativo sobre contabilidade gerencial entre a Espanha e o Brasil. Para tanto, foram selecionados 421 artigos de sete revistas espanholas de contabilidade listadas no IN-RECS (Índice de Impacto das Revistas Espanholas de Ciências Sociais), e 245 artigos de seis revistas brasileiras listadas na Capes. Por tanto, anali…

Ethical Versus Conventional Banking: A Case Study

2018

The 2008 financial crisis has changed the structure of banking, generating public distrust in the conventional financial system. An alternative has emerged as a result of this lack of confidence. This alternative is known as ethical banking. A growing number of investors, asset managers, and financial intermediaries have incorporated sustainability considerations into their business practices. This paper discusses the origins of ethical banking and describes its primary characteristics. The goal is to determine whether ethical banking can be as profitable as conventional banking despite only investing in projects based on social values. A comparative analysis is performed to identify differ…

Production et commerce, quelques aspects dans le nord de la Gaule romaine (Ier-IIIe siècle de notre ère)

2023

L’étude de l’économie de la Gaule romaine par les archéologues a traditionnellement privilégié l’analyse des lieux de production agricole et artisanale, ainsi que la diffusion des produits manufacturés. La large diffusion de produits à l’échelle du bassin méditerranéen et jusque dans les provinces septentrionales de l’Empire, voire en dehors, suggère une économie ouverte aux échanges à longue distance. Les recherches montrent cependant que la diffusion n’atteint jamais la totalité de l’Empire, voire du Bassin méditerranéen, si ce n’est de manière marginale. Par ailleurs, à l’écart des rivages de la Méditerranée, l’examen des mobiliers provenant de sites d’habitat conduit à nuancer la place …

The geography of creative industries in Europe: comparing France, Great Britain, Italy and Spain

2012

The creative economy is a holistic and multidisciplinary concept that deals with the interaction between economics, culture and technology, and centred on the production of creative contents in goods and services. One of the most relevant dimensions of creativity is the territorial one. Despite the emphasis put on the theoretical definition of creativity, the measurement of creative industries and the use of these concepts in macro units as well as in isolated case studies, it is necessary to strengthen comparative research for the identification and analysis of the kind of creativity embedded in the territory, its determinants and its patterns of concentration. This compared research relie…

Crescita verde: un'analisi delle regioni italiane

2012

La ripresa economica e l’interesse verso le problematiche ambientali sono oggetto di studio da parte di molti paesi e organismi internazionali con l’obiettivo di definire un sentiero di sviluppo incentrato su una“crescita verde” (green growth).

Nella definizione degli obiettivi di una crescita verde si evidenziano le carenze del PIL come unico indicatore di riferime…

Turning Right/Turning Left? : A Neoclassical Socioeconomic Query of the Arts Signaled by Museum and Branding in Finland

2016

ABSTRACTThe Guggenheim Helsinki Plan indicated a wishful turn of the arts and culture in Finland from the socio-democratic tradition of a welfare society towards a further neoliberalism. Following the Finnish historical timeline and from a museological viewpoint, this article reviews how national identity was built through the arts, which later integrated into formal and informal education to enhance human capital. This instrumental view now promotes the idea of useful art to fuel an innovation economy of advanced technology. Considering embarking on the intricate platform of arts, economics, and finance through Guggenheim, rethinking the contemporary art market mechanism may prove to be be…

Daily rhythms of young children in the 24/7 economy : A comparison of children in day care and day and night care

2017

The study explored temporal variation in children’s moods and compared children in regular day care with those in day and night care in Finland. To examine variation in children’s experiences, a mobile diary was used. The participants comprised 32 young children and their parents and day care personnel. Adults evaluated children’s moods three times daily over 1 week. A clear weekday–weekend rhythm was found among children in day care, who displayed more negative moods, due to frequent hurried mornings. Children in day and night care had more irregular mood rhythms. Boys were evaluated as displaying more negative moods than girls. peerReviewed

Malthusian checks in pre-industrial Sweden and Finland: a comparative analysis of the demographic regimes

2015

In this article, the existence of the Malthusian preventive and positive checks in pre-industrial Sweden and Finland are studied using demographic and economic data from circa 1750–1860. By applying time series analysis, we are able to identify strong preventive and positive checks for Sweden. The preventive check is considered to work both directly through births and indirectly through marriages. Although the Finnish data also indicate the existence of the preventive check, the positive check is only detected with differenced data. Our findings contradict the initial hypothesis that, due to poverty, Finland would display a higher sensitivity of mortality to living standards than Sweden. In…
