Nodarbinātības prognozēšana, izmantojot ekonomiko ziņu noskaņojumu
2021
Maģistra darbs pielieto ekonomisko ziņu noskaņojuma indeksu, lai atrisinātu paradoksu starp nepieciešamību pēc biežākām makroekonomisko prognožu atjauninājumiem un nepietiekamu attiecīgo rādītāju atjaunošanas biežumu. Izmantojot modernākas datu zinātnes metodes, tika iegūts ikdienu ziņu noskaņojuma indekss, lai izpētītu, vai ziņu noskaņojums ir piemērots, prognozējot nodarbinātības dinamiku Dānijā, un uzlabotu prognozes precizitāti modelī. Analīze rāda, ka pastāv statistiska saistība starp nodarbinātības dinamiku un ziņu noskaņojumu, un ka noskaņojuma rādītāju izmantošana var palielināt nodarbinātības datu prognozēšanas precizitāti īsos prognozēšanas periodos.
Disguised Employment - The Nature of Forced Entrepreneurship
2007
Present labor markets are in the wind of change. A widely made distinction between employees and individual contractors has been challenged. The study discusses abductively, i.e. both conceptually and empirically, the nature of being a responsible employer. Consequently, the two central concepts are: a) responsibility and b) employment relationship. The empirical research task is: Why does disguised employment exist? Question of the research is: What is disguised employment as forced entrepreneurship? The approach is qualitative and abductive, which in this case means a two-way dialogue between the findings gained from literature and interviews. For this exploration, twelve open and unstruc…
Cognitive and non‐cognitive factors in educational and occupational outcomes : Specific to reading disability?
2021
Low education and unemployment are common adult‐age outcomes associated with childhood RD (c‐RD). However, adult‐age cognitive and non‐cognitive factors associated with different outcomes remain unknown. We studied whether these outcomes are equally common among individuals with c‐RD and controls and whether these outcomes are related to adult‐age literacy skills or cognitive and non‐cognitive factors or their interaction with c‐RD. We examined adult participants with c‐RD (n = 48) and their matched controls (n = 37). Low education was more common among c‐RD than the controls, whereas long‐term unemployment was equally common in both groups. Moreover, adult‐age literacy skills, cognitive sk…

Los centros de formación y educación profesional: una alternativa para el desarrollo local.
2014
Este artículo presenta una propuesta educativa de índole técnico pero con bases enraizadas en la educación popular (Freire, 1970). La misma pretende dar luces de cómo la educación profesional podría tener una vinculación para el desarrollo local del territorio. El desarrollo local tiene sus máximos exponentes en los ámbitos de la recuperación de las fuentes endógenas y en la articulación del tejido asociativo (Herrera, 2009), con el consecuente beneficio de la potenciación de instrumentos participativos que mejoren los intercambios democráticos del territorio. Los centros educativos pueden tener una visión privilegiada del territorio, ya que confluyen en el mismo algunos elementos, actores …
Geographical distribution of unemployment in Italy. An Analysis of provincial differences in Italy
2007
Unemployment rates appear to vary widely at a subregional (e.g., local or provincial) level. Using spatial econometric models for spatial autocorrelation, this paper focuses attention on the spatial structure of regional unemployment disparities of Italian provinces. On the basis of findings from the economic literature and of the available socio-economic data, various model specifications, including different explanatory variables, are tested to investigate the geographical distribution of unemployment in the 103 provinces of Italy for the years 1998 and 2003. The results suggest that there is a clear explanation of unemployment differentials in terms of spatial equilibrium and disequilibr…
A quantitative insight into the impact and performance of seed accelerators and their accelerated start-ups
2020
El tema de investigación de esta tesis es el estudio de las aceleradoras de emprendimiento (AE), consideradas la nueva generación de incubadora de empresas (Bøllingtoft, 2012). Tanto las incubadoras como las aceleradoras permiten a las empresas jóvenes comenzar su actividad a través de un proceso de aprendizaje, consultoría e inversión, con el objetivo de aumentar sus posibilidades de supervivencia y crecimiento en el mercado durante sus primeros meses de vida (Cohen y Hochberg, 2014). El número de AE ha aumentado drásticamente desde la primera Aceleradora conocida en 2005 (Y Combinator), hasta un estimado de más de 3.000 AE en todo el mundo (Hochberg, 2016). Europa en particular, experimen…
The Analysis of the Digital Economy and Society Index in the EU
2019
Abstract The paper analyzes the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), which characterizes the development of digital economy. Based on the data of 28 European countries for 2013–2018, using the panel regression, we studied the influence of the consumption index growth by the purchasing power parity and unemployment among the active population on the structural units of DESI. It is shown that a 1% increase in the consumption index results in about 0.2 increase in the DESI, and an increase in unemployment by 1% leads to about 0.2 DESI decline. It is also shown that the 98% value of DESI is actually determined by its previous trends, and therefore it is impossible to increase this index ra…
Crisis, economic policy and inequality in Spain
2015
Este trabajo analiza el impacto social que tanto el colapso económico como las políticas desplegadas durante la crisis han producido en España. Esta crisis ha puesto de manifiesto la fragilidad del crecimiento económico español. Además, tanto las medidas de austeridad adoptadas a partir de 2010 como las reformas en el mercado de trabajo y el Estado de Bienestar han empeorado las condiciones de vida de la población. La consecuencia de estos años de crisis y política económica es un aumento explosivo del paro, la reducción de los ingresos personales, la intensificación de la desigualdad y el aumento de la pobreza. This paper analyses the social impact of both the economic collapse and policie…
Parenthood and gender inequality : Population-based evidence on the child penalty in Finland
2019
This study presents evidence on the effect of parenthood on labor market outcomes in Finland. We use population-based data drawn from administrative registers and an event study design centered around the birth of the first child using the specification proposed in Kleven et al. (2019b). The study confirms that women encounter large short- and long-term child penalties in gross labor earnings and that penalties are associated with employment participation. Taxes and social security transfers considerably reduce the child penalty, which also varies by the number of children. peerReviewed
