Determinantes de la estructura de vencimiento de la deuda en las empresas no cotizadas de los sectores industrial y de la construcción en Colombia de…
2017
Este artículo de reflexión explora, analiza y formula evidencias empíricas en torno a las variables determinantes del plazo del endeudamiento (corto plazo) de las empresas no cotizadas de los sectores industrial y de la construcción en Colombia para el periodo de 2008 a 2014. De acuerdo con el procesamiento de la información contable y financiera anual de las empresas de estos sectores que están reportadas en el Sistema de Información y Reporte Empresarial (Sirem) de la Superintendencia de Sociedades, se construye una base de datos con dos paneles desbalanceados para cada sector. Posteriormente, dicha información es modelada estocásticamente, estimándose las variables para cada sector por m…
Innovating business processes in public administrations: towards a systemic approach
2020
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the credit collection process in public administrations in order to develop a conceptual model which goes beyond the traditional logic of linearity, adopting system thinking approaches.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyses the case of an Italian local government-owned enterprise. Data collection through semi-structured interviews and document analysis has enabled the development of propositions, the identification of systemic variables, and the development of an explanatory modeling process based on the system dynamics approach.FindingsThis paper shows that public administrations can effectively involve external actors, especially citize…
El efecto mediador y moderador de la internacionalización en la relación entre los sistemas de control de gestión y el compromiso con la innovación
2019
La literatura contable revela resultados contradictorios al evaluar el efecto que los diferentes usos de los sistemas de control de gestión (SCG) tienen en la innovación. Siguiendo el marco teórico establecido por Simons (1995), este trabajo prueba el efecto que la internacionalización, bien sea directo, mediador o moderador, tiene en la relación entre el uso interactivo de los SCG y el compromiso de las empresas con la innovación. Tomando una muestra de 231 organizaciones del sector agroalimentario español, los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto la ausencia de una relación directa entre el uso interactivo del conjunto de herramientas de SCG y el compromiso con la innovación. Del mism…
Credit risk transmission in the European banking sector: the case of the subprime and Eurozone debt crises
2014
El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar en profundidad la transmisión del riesgo de crédito, aproximado por los CDS spreads, en el sector bancario europeo durante el periodo 2006-2012, intentando dar respuesta a diversas cuestiones: (i) ¿existe evidencia de transmisión del riesgo de crédito entre las entidades financieras europeas de la Eurozona y las que no pertenecen a dicha zona?, (ii) ¿es esta transmisión bidireccional o unidireccional?, (iii) concretamente, ¿qué países han liderado dicha transmisión?, y (iv) ¿cómo se ha visto afectada dicha transmisión con las recientes crisis financieras? Los resultados indican un cambio significativo en la transmisión del riesgo de crédito con e…
Impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the economic development of Ukraine and Latvia
2021
The COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the world has created a number of diverse threats to the development of the countries’ economies, including Ukraine and Latvia. An adequate assessment of these threats is very difficult and, moreover, often has a probabilistic character due to their singularity and novelty. The COVID-19 crisis mainly affected the tertiary sector, in particular companies involved in tourism, international passenger transport, accommodation, catering, entertainment, and cultural events, where demand fell sharply, and jobs fell. They were also followed by a contraction in demand in the manufacturing and transport sectors, which were mainly oriented towards external demand a…
The effects of the financial crisis on primary prevention of cancer
2010
The present financial crisis will affect primary cancer prevention through several avenues: personal lifestyle choices, exposure to environmental risk factors, decisions made in the private sector and public policy on cancer prevention. Whilst it is clearly problematic to reach solid conclusions on a direct connection between economic crises and cancer mortality, we can identify trends that provide guidance for further action. For some lifestyle choices such as smoking or diet, we argue that public policy may channel existing tendencies during times of crisis for clear added value. In other areas, including research and health system investments, we will make the case that the resources not…
Building an advocacy model to improve the dementia-capability of health plans in California
2021
Background Given the high and growing prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and the intensity of this population's care needs, it is imperative that healthcare systems increase their capacity to effectively serve people living with dementia (PLwD). The Dementia Cal MediConnect (Dementia CMC) project proposes an advocacy model that may foster dementia-capable systems change. Methods The Dementia CMC project was a 5-year partnership (2013-2018) between local Alzheimer's organizations and 10 managed care health plans (HPs) in California's duals demonstration. It used an advocacy model with the following steps: (1) Identify dementia-capable best practices to set as systems ch…
Transport infrastructures, spillover effects and regional growth: evidence of the Spanish case
2005
The impact of transport infrastructures on the economic growth of both regions and sectors, distinguishing among modes of transport, is analysed. An attempt is also made to capture the spillover effects associated with transport infrastructures. Two different methodologies are used: the first adopts an accounting approach based on a regression on indices of total factor productivity; the second uses econometric estimates of the production function. Very similar elasticities are obtained with both methodologies for the private sector of the economy, both for the aggregate capital stock of transport infrastructures and for the various types of infrastructure. However, the disaggregated result…
The Community Structure of the Global Corporate Network
2013
We investigate the community structure of the global ownership network of transnational corporations. We find a pronounced organization in communities that cannot be explained by randomness. Despite the global character of this network, communities reflect first of all the geographical location of firms, while the industrial sector plays only a marginal role. We also analyze the network in which the nodes are the communities and the links are obtained by aggregating the links among firms belonging to pairs of communities. We analyze the network centrality of the top 50 communities and we provide the first quantitative assessment of the financial sector role in connecting the global economy.
