Are Momentum Crashes Pervasive Regardless of Strategy? Evidence from the Foreign Exchange Market
2016
This paper studies the option-like behavior of popular momentum strategies implemented in foreign exchange markets. The results confirm those of Daniel and Moskowitz (2013) in finding strong option-like behavior for both momentum measures, based on the cumulative return from 12 and 6 months prior to the formation date to one month prior to the formation date. Surprisingly, there is no such evidence for the popular momentum strategy accounting for a one-month formation period.

La suspensión de la libre circulación de inversiones extranjeras en España por la crisis del COVID-19
2020
La libre circulación de inversiones es uno de los mantras que ha caracterizado la modernidad económica. El principio, sin embargo, se encuentra sometido a creciente prevención, en el marco de una visión crítica hacia la globalización en un mundo en pleno reajuste geoestratégico. Una de las manifestaciones de esta tendencia reciente de empoderamiento del Estado se refleja en la articulación de mecanismos de control de las inversiones foráneas que le permitan evitar que sectores claves de la economía nacional caigan en manos de inversores extranjeros, en muchas ocasiones, controlados por Estados competidores. A diferencia de lo que ocurre con los países de nuestro entorno, España había sido i…

2018
The process of liberalization of international trade and of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has constituted a broadly accepted trend during the last few decades and FDI inflows have expanded constantly since the end of the 1980’s. However, signs of a certain crisis of the positive and one-way attitude towards international trade and FDI exist nowadays.

Outward Foreign Direct Investment by Chinese National Oil Companies
2015
Developed countries have become increasingly suspicious about the rapid growth of Chinese investments in their home countries and abroad, commonly citing potential threats to national security and global governance as the main sources of anxieties. As a result, policy measures in some developed markets have been put in place to create additional regulation and oversight, specifically in highly regulated and strategic industries, such as the oil sector. This article refutes a number of popular myths about Chinese investments in the global oil industry, and suggests a more rigorous dialogue with the Chinese authorities relating to their integration into international institutions.
