Fiscal Policy Discretion, Private Spending, and Crisis Episodes
2011
In this paper, we assess the impact of fiscal policy discretion on economic activity in the short and medium-term. Using a panel of 132 countries from 1960 to 2008, we find that fiscal policy discretion provides a net stimulus to the economy in the short-run and crowding-in effects are amplified once crisis episodes are controlled for– in particular, banking crises - giving a great scope for fiscal policy stimulus packages. However, crowding-out effects take over in the long-run – especially, in the case of debt crises -, in line with the concerns about long-term debt sustainability.
Jaws Vs. Blue ocean » : créer un « océan bleu » pour contrer la « crise requin » à l’île de La Réunion
2021
International audience; Cet article mobilise un cadre d’analyse fondé sur la théorie des ressources et compétences et la notion d’innovation stratégique. L’innovation est présente dans la littérature portant sur le management touristique, mais elle apparait très rarement sous l’aspect de l’innovation stratégique (Hjalager, 2010) et n’est pas mobilisée dans un contexte de management de crise. Nous nous fondons sur la théorie des ressources pour proposer l’application d’une optique d’exploration et d’innovation stratégique en tant que réponse à une situation de crise dans le secteur touristique. L’analyse repose sur la technique de l’étude de cas (Stake, 1994) au travers d’interviews et de l’…
Current challenges and prospective analysis of the Third Sector of Social Action (TSSA) in Spain
2020
This paper analyses the current conditions and future challenges faced by the Third Sector of Social Action (TSSA) in Spain to consolidate itself as an institutional sphere of sustainable welfare and as a strategic actor in the development of social policies. The empirical basis of this work has been obtained with the use of qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews, focus groups and the mixed method of Delphi. The use of these methods is aimed at interpreting TSSA leaders' discourses, the collective voice of Non-governmental organisations (NGO) managers and representatives, and the opinions of experts on: the nature and past development of the sector. This research was carried out un…
STRATEGIC PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT IN GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE SECTOR IN LATVIA: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT
2012
Management issues can be divided in two large groups: governmental, with its specific aims, methods and challenges, and private sector responsible for economical results, competitiveness and state revenues. Although these sectors have so much in common in sustaining the state, striving for excellence, fulfilment of European Union 2020 strategy and for the best results, they are at the same time very different. By theory and practice, one of the greatest methods how to improve performance, is benchmarking- both looking for the best in the concrete field and in different area. In the article authors compare strategic planning and management issues in governmental and private sector, thus iden…
An agency approach to debt maturity of unlisted and listed firms in the European setting
2019
Abstract This study analyses the debt maturity of two groups of companies – unlisted and listed – throughout the period 2005–2013. The research takes an agency costs approach to explore the determinants of firms' debt maturity structure for a set of five countries, chosen for being representative of the European Union (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom). Agency costs, as well as institutional and macroeconomic factors, turn out to be decisive in explaining firms’ financial policies regarding debt maturity, during the economic crisis that started in 2007–2008. Our findings indicate that contracting costs had a greater impact on unlisted firms during the post-crisis subperi…
University trustees as channels between academe and industry: Toward an understanding of the executive science network
2013
Abstract Policy makers in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) see “autonomous” research universities as increasingly central to “world class” status, technology development and economic innovation. Trustees or regents (US) and external board members (EU) are seen as a marker of university autonomy. Examining university trustees may shed some light on the role of trustees/external board members play in research strategy, innovation and economic development. Given that a number of trustees of US research universities sit on the boards of directors of large corporations with research interests, we hypothesized that trustees may be an important channel connecting universities to …
Latvia: Both Sides of the Economic Recovery Success Story
2016
Latvian social policy is close to the neoliberal model of the welfare state based on macroeconomic indicators of low welfare state spending, high income inequality, low minimum wage and low degree of decommodification. Latvia was among the first countries to be stung by the crisis in 2008. Key words became: austerity, fiscal consolidation and structural adjustment measures. A minimum social safety network was introduced to improve targeted social support. Funding from the European Social Fund was instrumental in mitigating unemployment, facilitating a large temporary works programme. Latvia joined the Euro zone in 2014 and is quite successfully returning loans. Such is one side of the succe…
A Proposal to Model Ancient Silk Weaving Techniques and Extracting Information from Digital Imagery - Ongoing Results of the SILKNOW Project
2019
Three dimensional (3D) virtual representations of the internal structure of textiles are of interest for a variety of purposes related to fashion, industry, education or other areas. The modeling of ancient weaving techniques is relevant to understand and preserve our heritage, both tangible and intangible. However, ancient techniques cannot be reproduced with standard approaches, which usually are aligned with the characteristics of modern, mechanical looms. The aim of this paper is to propose a mathematical modelling of ancient weaving techniques by means of matrices in order to be easily mapped to a virtual 3D representation. The work focuses on ancient silk textiles, ranging from the 15…
