Gomes, João Rui Fernandes. "Safe reuse of treated urban wastewater in Praia, Cape Verde: a case study." Master's thesis, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10362/11227.
Full textCape Verde is one of the countries where the socio-economic development and growth are diminishing due to problems of water scarcity. The effects are more noticeable in the city of Praia, with a population of about 131.719 inhabitants2. This is due to the rapid urban development and the consequent special needs such as irrigation, industry and tourism. The region has suffered for several consecutive years the phenomenon of drought, which makes this occurrence an easily predictable one and turns the lack of water into a factor that constrains the development and well-being of the city. Consequently, it is imperative to recognize the value of water and to create a good strategy to ration its use, along with finding ways to mobilize new resources. The presented study was developed using a methodology based on the use of the treatment, purification and reuse of wastewater technology, as well as secure ways reusing it for compatible proposes. The work also includes a technical and economic analysis related to the development of the implementation project, in which were studied several alternatives that allow the reuse of treated water from the city of Praia to the current flow, as well as for future expansions. The presented results indicate that there must be followed an objective orientation in order to define the quality parameters and the complementary actions necessary to ensure a safe re-use of water from the direct point of view of human health to the green areas, such as agricultural areas or spaces for public use. Thus, it’s important to consider the preparation and development of awareness campaigns for the population of Cape Verde, involving local authorities and the social formation as a driving force to promote the efficient use of water, knowledge of the quality parameters and prevent waterborne diseases. To improve the monitoring of water quality in general is essential to plan and organize a study of international comparison of water quality laboratories in different regions, and promote the development of specialized seminars to improve technical capacity. To promote the treatment and reuse of treated water are virtual training platforms to develop and promote the exchange of experience in these fields. These initiatives will be strengthened through research and technical assistance to assess the potential and develop specific projects of self-wastewater treatment and reuse.

Full textA cooperação para o desenvolvimento constitui uma das determinantes mais importantes do desenvolvimento económico e social dos países em desenvolvimento (PVD) em geral e das pequenas economias insulares (PEI) em particular. Cabo Verde - PVD e PEI - carece de recursos naturais, humanos e financeiros, pelo que o seu processo de desenvolvimento tem sido fortemente dependente da ajuda pública ao desenvolvimento (APD). Igualmente, a sua escolha de estratégia de desenvolvimento é reduzida, situando-se a opção entre ilhas de suor, ilhas-refúgio (de capitais), ilhas-paraíso (fiscais), ilhas-serviços (téleporto), ilhas-terreno de jogos, conforme assinala Lesourd (1995), Pode efectivamente o país fazer uma escolha? A mesma far-se-á fora do contexto da APD? O estudo da ciência económica referente às PEI afigura-se como uma contribuição original à economia espacial, pois, não se trata de localização das firmas, mas de determinar o impacto de uma situação geográfica sobre uma dinâmica macro-económica. Nestes sentido, o estudo da dinâmica das PEI visa compreender em que medida a sua tripla especificidade física (insularidade, exiguidade e isolamento) é explicativo de uma trajectória económica singular. Assim, a origem da problemática das PEI situa-se, geralmente, na relação espaço/desenvolvimento. O determinismo geográfico está, para muitos autores, no centro das limitações das PEI, fazendo, uma apologia da economia espacial, em detrimento da economia do desenvolvimento. Todavia, no quadro de um crescimento condicionado por factores limitativos, vai-se desenvolvendo uma eventual abordagem teórica que tem em comuum a passagem obrigatória pelo mercado, quer pela natureza do produto exportado, quer pelo tipo de renda recebida. Com efeito, a lógica das PEI obedece, possivelmente, a factores económicos situados fora do mercado o que impede que seja exactamente o mercado o fundamento da sua teorização, sobretudo para aquelas cujas forças motrizes repousam nas transferências do exterior, condicionando, deste modo, o consumo, o investimento, a procura e a renda. Nesta perspectiva, Cabo Verde afigura-se como um caso paradigmático de uma "economia de transferência".
The cooperation to the development is very important for many Less Development Countries (LCD) and small economies islands. This situation it is true for the Cape Verde, because it needs of natural, human and financial resources. Thus, the foreign aid conditions its process of development. Also, is restricted yours choose of economic strategy. That choose can not be take without foreign aid. The study of economic science it seems how contribution original spatial's economy, so do not deal about lozalization of the firm, but of the determine the impact of certain geographic situation on the macro-economic dynamic. In this context, the study of dynamic SEI aim at tree question: insular, dimension and isolation. Some authors proclaim the fatality geographical how the focal point of SEI limitation. Nevertheless, is appearing some approach that the economy work apart from market. Principally, for those dependent of foreign transfer. In this context, Cape Verde is a model of "economy of transfer".

Full textCabo Verde é um pequeno país insular, cuja economia só iniciou o percurso de economia de mercado em 1991, após 15 anos de vigência de uma economia rendeira de planificação centralizada alimentada pelas remessas dos emigrantes e pela ajuda pública ao desenvolvimento. O estudo visa um modelo económico que, de modo diversificado, possa alavancar a economia cabo-verdiana para uma economia sustentável por fatores endógenos resilientes a choques externos. O modelo identificado, apoiando-se e, Hircsh, Venables, Krugman e Porter, exige uma resposta de vocação euro-africana, a constelação turismo com intermediação europeia e a indústria transformadora e de distribuição com intermediação oeste africana, num figurino que trouxe dois valores acrescentados: A transposição da abordagem económica do conceito "setor do turismo" para o conceito "constelação do turismo" e a identificação de um nicho africano até aqui ignorado, "a intermediação" económica de Cabo Verde na CEDEAO". Essa abordagem responde igualmente à questão dimensão da economia de um quadro de externalidades económicas produzidas pela economia geográfica de Krugman e Venables. As simulações através de um modelo de equilíbrio geral dinâmico resultaram em conclusões claras quanto aos impactos positivos do modelo económico identificado no Produto Interno Bruto, no desemprego e no bem-estar medido pela variação da compensação.
Cape Verde, is a small island country, whose economy starts a market economy path only in 1991, after 15 years of prevailling centralized planning economic model supported on emigrant remittances and international public aid. The aim of this thesis is to identify an economic model that, in a solid strategic vision and diversified way, can leverage the Cape Verdean economy from a rent economy level to an economy sustained by endogenous factors resilient to external shocks. The identified model, supporting on Hircsh, Venables, Krugman and Porter, requires an Euro-African vocation response based on a tourism constellation with an European intermediation and transformation/distribution industries with West African intermediation, in a framework that brougth two added values: the economic approach change from the "tourism sector" cincept to a "tourism constellation" concept and emergence of an African niche so far ignored, "the economic intermediation of Cape Verde in ECOWAS". This approach also reponds to the Cape Verde economic size issue by the economics externalities framework produced by Krugman & Venables geographical economy. Simulations using a dynamic general equilibrium model (MEGD) resulted in clear conclusions about the positive impacts of the identified economic model in the Gross Domestic Product, unemployment and welfare measured by change in the compensation variation.

Full textCape Verde has experienced considerable growth in the sub-region of West Africa which is a part, despite the enormous challenges the country presents, such as scarcity of water, energy, sanitation, lack of infrastructure, lack of natural resources, limited human and material resources. This paper analyzes the prospects and the alternatives for the economy of Cape Verde, given these enormous challenges. For this purpose, this work begins with the problem of the (under) development, where in addition to a theoretical discussion of the subject, addressing the issue of small island states which Cape Verde made part and the development opportunities that remain for developing countries. Then comes a history of Cape Verde's economy by addressing various events occurred since the period before independence until today. After that, it is considered some relevant aspects of the Cape Verde economy, such as national accounts, the structure of employment and unemployment, the characterization of certain sectors of economic activity, and also an analysis of economic performance. Finally, in Chapter 5 discusses the importance of the international relations of the country, to assess the challenges facing the country, prospects for development with these challenges, and the alternatives of development, based on tourism, Help official development assistance (ODA), foreign direct investment (FDI) and remittances (RE). The results of this work suggest that the country, despite significant improvements in several areas of the development, proven by the recent graduate to Middle Income Country (MIC), the country still has huge imbalances and distortions in its development process. Evidence in this work, despite the continuing challenges and constraints facing the country, despite the development alternatives are based on the external factors that are not under total control of the country, the development prospects are quite favorable.

Full textMost of the people around the globe believe that water is a free good. However, increasing difficulties of access, both in quantity and quality around the world, particularly in developing countries and for the lower income people is changing this view. The Agenda 21 and the Dublin Declaration (UN, 1992) had the merit of putting the water as an "economic good" in the center of the debate at the global level. In this context, the present study aims to evaluate the full costs of water in the Archipelago of Cape Verde, a country where the scarcity is growing, due to, among other factors, the population growth and increasing of economic activities. This research was conducted in the municipality of Praia, where the Capital of the country is located, which face also, higher levels of water scarcity. Such scarcity in this Municipality, therefore, is resulting in high economic and social costs for the population and the economy activities as well, mainly due to the discontinuity on supply. The Economic Regulation Agency (ARE) and the National Water Council (CNAG) in Cape Verde have addressed the cost of water, based on financial analysis, by raising the costs of maintenance and operation of systems of production and distribution of water and used data as a basis in setting water charges. In contrast however, this dissertation is based on the approach of Rogers et al. (1998) who call for the assessment of the full cost, which is the sum of the full cost of provision and economic costs, which include the externalities and opportunity costs. The study results revealed that in the municipality of Praia, the full costs of water are of ECV 2,743,057,388.00. This figure represents 4.24% of GDP in 2007. The cost per cubic meter of water is of CVE 1.245,74 (11.30 Euro). The total economic costs represent ninety-six percent (96%) of full cost of water in the municipality. Finally, the full cost of provision, in which the Economic Regulation Agency consider to design and to model the water prices in Cape Verde, was evaluated at around two hundred thirtyseven escudos (CVE 237.71) per cubic meter of water. This figure is far below the value which is paid by households not connected to the public (ECV 433.33 / m3).
A crenÃa antiga na visÃo da Ãgua como um bem livre vem acentuando ainda mais as dificuldades de acesso em quantidade e qualidade para as sociedades ao redor do mundo, nomeadamente nos paÃses em desenvolvimento e para as classes menos favorecidas. A Agenda 21 e a DeclaraÃÃo de Dublin (ONU, 1992) tiveram o mÃrito de colocar a Ãgua como um âbem econÃmicoâ no centro do debate em nÃvel global. à neste contexto que este trabalho se propÃe avaliar os custos totais da Ãgua no arquipÃlago de Cabo Verde, paÃs que enfrenta o problema de escassez de maneira crescente em razÃo, entre outros fatores, do aumento da populaÃÃo e do crescimento da atividade econÃmica. Especificamente, esta pesquisa à realizada no Concelho da Praia1, onde se encontra a capital do PaÃs, a qual enfrenta altos nÃveis de escassez de Ãgua, portanto, podendo resultar em elevados custos econÃmicos e sociais para a populaÃÃo e para a economia, principalmente pela descontinuidade da oferta e os mecanismos de racionamento da Ãgua. A AgÃncia de RegulaÃÃo EconÃmica (ARE) e o Conselho Nacional de Ãguas (CNAG) de Cabo Verde tÃm abordado o custo da Ãgua com base na anÃlise financeira, levantando os custos de manutenÃÃo e operaÃÃo dos sistemas de produÃÃo e distribuiÃÃo de Ãgua que servem de base na definiÃÃo das tarifas. Contrariamente, este trabalho baseou-se na abordagem de Rogers et al. (1998), que preconizam a avaliaÃÃo do custo total que corresponde à soma do custo total de provisÃo e dos custos econÃmicos, incluÃdos nestes as externalidades e o custo de oportunidades. Os resultados revelaram que, no Concelho da Praia, os custos totais da Ãgua sÃo da ordem de ECV 2.743.057.388,00. Este valor representa 4,24% do valor do PIB em 2007. O custo da Ãgua por metro cÃbico atinge o montante de ECV 1.245,74 (11,30 Euros), um valor bastante elevado para os padrÃes de vida local. Os custos econÃmicos totais representam noventa e seis por cento (96%) dos custos totais da Ãgua no MunicÃpio, o que enfatiza a importÃncia deste componente. Por Ãltimo, o custo total de provisÃo, aquele que a AgÃncia de RegulaÃÃo EconÃmica considera no desenho de tarifas em Cabo Verde, foi avaliado em torno de duzentos trinta e sete escudos (ECV 237,71) por metro cÃbico de Ãgua, um valor que à compatÃvel com a tarifa mÃdia, atualmente em vigor, contudo, muito abaixo do valor que à pago pelas famÃlias nÃo ligadas à rede pÃblica (ECV 433,33⁄m3).

Full textA relação existente entre sistema financeiro e crescimento económico é tema de estudo por parte de diversos autores, desde os trabalhos seminais de Gerschenkron, 1962 e Cameron, 1967. O presente trabalho insere-se nessa temática e tem como objectivo analisar a importância do sector bancário no crescimento económico de Cabo Verde, entre 1998 e 2008. Terá sido este crescimento acompanhado pelo desenvolvimento do sector bancário ou já existia um sistema sustentado, em finais da década de 1990? Como evoluiu a estrutura do sistema bancário? Tem o sector bancário financiado os sectores chave da economia ou os seus créditos têm sido canalizados para outras actividades? Conclui-se, em primeiro lugar, ter sido na primeira década do século XXI que o sector bancário teve um crescimento elevado, aferindo este crescimento através de diversos indicadores, designadamente, activos e passivos bancários em relação ao PIB. Em segundo lugar, revelou uma situação de liquidez, solvabilidade e eficiência que conferiu estabilidade financeira à economia e destacou Cabo Verde no conjunto da África Subsariana. Em terceiro lugar, a actividade creditícia evidencia a canalização de créditos para as instituições não financeiras, e dentro destas destaca-se por um lado, o crédito à habitação e por outro, o crédito aos sectores mais dinâmicos da economia, concretamente, o sector terciário, subsectores serviços e comércio. No entanto, ao longo da década de 2000, os subsectores restaurantes e hotéis e o turismo concentraram de forma nítida o Investimento Directo Estrangeiro, evidenciando que se o turismo é o sector mais dinâmico da economia só parcialmente foi um sector financiado pelo aparelho bancário cabo-verdiano.
The relationship between financial system and economic growth has been studied by several authors since the seminal papers of Gerschenkron (1962) and Cameron (1967). This research is part of this issue and inquires the importance of the banking sector on economic growth in Cape Verde, between 1998 and 2008. Has been this growth accompanied by the development of the banking sector or a sustained system existed since 1990's decade? What was the evolution of the banking system structure? Has the banking sector been financed the key sectors of the economy or its loans have been directed to other economic activities? Firstly, we conclude that it has been in the first decade of the 20th century that the banking sector had a high growth, assessing this growth through some variables, like bank assets and liabilities in comparison to PIB. Secondly, it was identified a situation of liquidity, solvency and financial efficiency that gave stability to the Cape Verde economy, position very different from the group of Sub-Saharan Africa. Third, the lending activity shows the direction of credits to non-financial institutions, and within these stands out on the one side, the housing credit and on the other, the credit to the most dynamic sectors of the economy, namely the tertiary sector, trade and services sub-sectors. However, during the decade 2000s, the restaurants and hotels, tourism sub-sectors focused on clear foreign direct investment, showing that if the tourism is the most dynamic sector of the economy, it was only partially financed by banking sector in Cape Verde.

Full textEm Cabo Verde, o estudo das remessas de emigrantes ganha um cunho especial, uma vez que se trata de um fluxo financeiro deveras importante quando se pretende compreender o crescimento económico de um arquipélago de parcos recursos e dependente do exterior como é o caso. Neste trabalho procura-se efectuar uma análise exaustiva das remessas de emigrantes em Cabo Verde e estudar a sua evolução ao longo das últimas décadas. Em particular, neste estudo propõem-se demonstrar a importância das remessas de emigrantes na economia cabo-verdiana e perceber em que moldes as remessas concorrem para o crescimento económico do país. Para o efeito, recorre-se a estimação do modelo do Vector Auto-regressivo, onde é investigado os efeitos das remessas de emigrantes na economia cabo-verdiana através das funções de resposta do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) a impulso das remessas. Os resultados obtidos são satisfatórios à luz da teoria económica e sugerem que a abordagem utilizada é consistente com o comportamento da economia cabo-verdiana. Segundo estes resultados, os choques nas remessas de emigrantes são significativos e afectam permanentemente o PIB cabo-verdiano.
For Cape Verde, the study of emigrants remittances gains an added interest since it represents an important financial flow for anyone interested in understanding the economfc growthTof this island economy, deprived of natural resources and dependent of external resource to finance its development. This paper analyses in great details the emigrant remittances in Cape Verde and studies it's evolution for the last two decades. In particular, this work seeks to prove the importance of emigrant remittances for the Cape Verde economy and tries to explain to what extent, remittances can contribute to economic growth of the country. In order to answer this question, a vector autoregressive model is applied, where the benefits of emigrant remittances for the Cape Verde economy is investigated by analysing impulse response function of GDP to remittances. The econometric results are satisfactory and in line with economic theory and suggest that the methodology applied is consistent with the behaviour of Cape Verde economy. According to these findings, a shock emanating from emigrants remittances affects permanently the Cape-Verde GDP.

O empenho de Portugal em termos de cooperação pretende mostrar que não existem limites, como estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável de uma economia. Este documento, em primeiro lugar tem o propósito de analisar as transformações ocorridas na última década do século XX, na economia cabo-verdiana, como economia em transição, quer em termos económicos ou sociais, analisando os condicionalismos a que está sujeita, evidenciando a importância da estabilidade macroeconómica e as reformas económicas operadas. E feita uma analise da evolução económica com o intuito de verificar os impactos económicos ocorridos na economia cabo-verdiana desde a celebração do Acordo de Cooperação Cambial luso cabo-verdiano. É analisado o Acordo de Cooperação Cambial entre Portugal e Cabo Verde à luz da Teoria das Zonas Monetárias Óptimas, recorrendo aos critérios inerentes para a criação de uma Zona Monetária Óptima e dessa forma se poder enquadrar Portugal e Cabo Verde como uma Zona Monetária Natural Incompleta. São analisados os custos e benefícios de todo o processo, a importância da perda do instrumento cambial e a perda de autonomia da política monetária, evidenciando a estabilidade cambial como factor credível para uma economia e os aspectos associados à manutenção de um regime de câmbios fixos. É também feita uma abordagem à Zona Franco de idêntica natureza. Finalmente, é realizada uma analise sobre as potencialidades de Cabo Verde de se poder afirmar e projectar em termos internacionais, bem como de uma eventual ancoragem ao espaço europeu, como forma de obtenção de sinergias que potenciem essa projecção evidenciando o contexto africano e o fenómeno da globalização.

PortugaPs commitment in terms of cooperation pretends to show that there are no limits, as a sustainable development strategy of an economy. This document has the purpose, first of ali, of analysing the changes occurred on the last decade of XXth century, in the Cape-verdean economy as a transition economy, not only in the economic aspect but also in the social one, analysing the constraints faced by Cape Verde, giving emphasis to the importance of the macroeconomics stability and the economic reforms operated. ITs also made an analysis of the economic evolution in order to verify the impacts occurred on the cape-verdean economy since the celebration of the exchange-rate agreement between Portugal and Cape Verde. The agreement is, also, examined under the Optimum Monetary Areas Theory, using the inherent criteria to the foundation of an Optimum Monetary Area, on this way could be framed Portugal and Cape Verde as an Natural Incomplete Monetary Area. There are analysed the costs and benefits of the whole process, the importance of the loss of the exchange rate instrument and the loss of the autonomy of the monetary policy, emphasizing the exchange rate stability as a credible issue for an economy and the items associated with the maintenance of a fixed exchange rate regime. ILs also make an introduction to the "Franc Zone" in a similar vein. Finally, it will be analyse the Cape Verde's potential to be able to affirm itself in intemational terms, as a possible anchorage in the European space, as a mean of attaining synergy that potentate such an evolution emphasizing the African framework and the phenomenon of the globalisation.

Full textThe process of development of the cape verdean economy, historically suffers from endogenous structural constraints, such as natural conditions, since the country is composed of island territories, erratic rainfall and reduced agricultural production, limited financial conditions of state and industry private investment in long-term structural projects, lack of wealth, except the sun, wind and people, and, finally, poor internal capacity for investment in infrastructure and strategic sectors such as tourism, energy, agriculture, fishing, transport, education, among others. Despite those restrictions, Cape Verde has been showing since 1990, some economic, social and institutional advances, as compared with most economies in Africa. There, under official number of explanations for this performance. But in this thesis we try to confront the economy's performance from the sector of emigration, more specifically, the relationship between workers' remittances (RTE) and the country's economic growth. We conclude that the RTE contribute to the growth and development of the cape verdean economy, in general, that the Cape Verdean Diaspora is indispensable for the construction of policies to increase and accelerate actions that reinforce the multiplication of channels development in the country. Therefore, it´s essential to recognize the political and economic participation of emigrants in national development aiming at not only the sustainability of remittances but also the construction of new institutional arrangements the give priority to the recovery of the Diaspora frames and framing policies for diplomatic cooperation with the host countries. These actions are important because they reinforce the bonds of community emigrated to the country of origin, potentiates the development of integration policies and protection of respectives communities, beyond the dissemination of information on investment opportunities in the archipelago. Therefore, focus efforts to attract Foreign Investment in Origin of Cape Verdean Emigrants (FIOECV) means, no doubt, add and update the trajectory of economic growth of country.

Full textO Acordo de Cooperação Cambial entre Cabo Verde e Portugal de Março de 1998 veio criar profundas alterações no regime de política monetária em Cabo Verde. É normalmente citado que, se um pequeno país optar por um regime de paridade fixa em relação a uma moeda dominante, esse país impõe a si próprio uma disciplina que consiste basicamente em subordinar a sua política monetária à do país da referida moeda dominante e em manter equiparadas as respectivas taxas de inflação. Há uma tendência alargada em eleger a estabilidade de preços como o objectivo prioritário da política monetária. Na linha dessa tendência, o Banco de Cabo Verde, através da sua Lei Orgânica, elegeu a estabilidade de preços como seu objectivo principal. Para uma pequena economia aberta, como é o caso de Cabo Verde, a estabilidade cambial pode pressionar a manutenção da disciplina macroeconómica e contribuir para uma maior aproximação entre preços internos e preços externos. É no contexto da vinculação da política monetária cabo-verdiana à da área do euro que pretendemos analisar os determinantes da inflação em Cabo Verde, com base num modelo econométrico simples. Os dados utilizados na estimação têm frequência trimestral cobrindo o período de 1995:4 a 2006:3. Os resultados dos testes econométricos que efectuámos permitem-nos confirmar que a partir do Acordo de Cooperação Cambial a massa monetária deixou de ser uma variável importante na explicação da inflação em Cabo Verde, resultado esse consistente com os fundamentos teóricos da adopção do regime de câmbios fixos. Esse resultado leva-nos a questionar a existência de uma política monetária independente em Cabo Verde. Concluímos também que em Cabo Verde, a partir do período da fixação da taxa de câmbio, os determinantes fundamentais da inflação são a componente sazonal, a inflação importada e o hiato do produto.
The exchange rate agreement between Cape Verde and Portugal in March 1998 deeply changed the way monetary policy is conducted in Cape Verde. Is normally cited that, when a small country opts for a system of fixed parity with respect to a dominant currency, it self imposes a discipline which amounts to adopting the monetary policy of the dominant country and to keeping its inflation rate close to the dominant reference. There is a broad trend in electing the stability of prices as the primary objective of monetary policy. Following this trend, the Bank of Cape Verde, through its Organic Law, elect to price stability as its main objective. For a small open economy, such as Cape Verde, exchange rate stability can press the maintenance of macroeconomic discipline and contribute to greater rapprochement between domestic prices and external prices. It is within this monetary policy linkage framework that we want to analyze the inflation determinants in Cape Verde, based on a simple econometric model. Data used covers quarters from 1995:4 to 2006:3. Our econometric results allow us to confirm that money ceased to be an important variable in the explanation of inflation in Cape Verde from the exchange rate agreement between Cape Verde and Portugal on, this result being consistent with the theoretical foundations behind the adoption of the currency peg . This result leads us to question the existence of an independent monetary policy in Cape Verde. Moreover, we concluded that in Cape Verde, and from the exchange rate agreement on, the fundamental determinants of inflation became the seasonal component, imported inflation and the output gap.

Este trabalho procura analisar os possíveis custos e benefícios, inerente ao processo da integração económica, para a economia de Cabo Verde com uma eventual adesão à União Europeia através da constituição de uma das formas de integração económica, nomeadamente zona de comércio livre ou união aduaneira. Para isso, numa primeira análise, propomos uma breve apresentação do processo da integração económica internacional. Procedemos com uma análise da economia cabo-verdiana e o seu modelo de integração económica internacional, assim como uma breve caracterização da União Europeia, com principal enfoque no seu processo de integração económica, tendo em conta a possibilidade de estes virem a representar mercados potenciais ou concorrentes. Finalmente, prosseguimos com a análise da viabilidade da integração económica de Cabo Verde na União Europeia, isto é, analisamos os potenciais efeitos, custos e benefícios do ponto de vista económico, para a economia cabo-verdiana com uma eventual integração no espaço europeu. Os resultados mostram que Cabo Verde não tem muito a perder com essa eventual integração, na qual os efeitos dinâmicos assumem uma importância relevante, mediante a adopção de uma estratégia de integração de zona de comércio livre com os países da UE. Esta revela-se eficaz, assim como a adopção de importantes políticas económicas e a criação de condições para um ambiente mais competitivo.
The economic factors have been taking an important role in explaining the need for international economic integration, particularly in relation to developing countries. This paper analyzes the possible costs and benefits, inherent in the process of economic integration, of the economy of Cape Verde with a possible integration in the European Union, whether through a free trade area or a customs union. In an initial analysis we present a brief presentation of the process of international economic integration. We proceed with an economic and social analysis of Cape Verde, as well as a brief characterization of the European Union with its main focus in the economic integration process, considering the possibility of the upcoming potential or competitive markets. Finally, we conduct an analysis on the potential effects, costs and benefits for the economy of Cape Verde with an potential integration into the European Union. The results demonstrate that Cape Verde has not much to lose with this potential integration, in which dynamic effects are of great importance, by creating a free trade area with EU countries. This appears to be most effective, as well as the adoption of important economic policies and the creation of conditions for a more competitive environment.

This paper goal was to investigate important aspects about Cape Verde monetary policy and its transmission to the economy, during the 1991/2011 period with quarterly data. In which are included the Gross Domestic Product and the prices index as target variables, the liabilities operations rates over 91 days as a monetary policy instrument and the BCV´s nominal effective exchange rate index as the monetary policy intermediate goal. The implemented methodology was the VAR and MS-VAR models. As a result, we have that the modification of a VAR model to a MS-VAR brought information gains by allowing some non-linearity to the model. It was estimated two models for each methodology, in which the difference between then is due to the fact that one of them doesn´t include the exchange rate (simpler model). It was identified two regimes, in which the regime 2 appeared to be more persistent and is was also verified its exclusivity during the 1993:1 to 2006:2 period, which coincides with the period when it was separated the functions of the central and commercial banks and also was created two independent institutions, with a change in the exchange rate regime as well, that occurred in 1998. It was observed also that the regimes classification is sensitive to changes in the interest rate until some level and that the prevailing interest rate in Cape Verde is relatively high. This fact is due to the structure of the national financial market and the weak inter savings. In the second regime, the results from the impulse and response functions showed themselves coherents to the conventional theory, in the sense that a positive shock in the interest rates causes a reduction in the production and prices level. On the other hand, the obtained results from regime 1 are different, principally for the IPC response to a shock in the interest rate, once that this shock causes an increase in this variable. The introduction of the exchange rate in the model, caused a reduction on the impact of the Txjur on the IPC on the regime 1, when comparing to the previous model. Another registered alteration on the results was that the duration of the negative effect caused by the positive shock on the GDP appeared to be lower in both regimes.
O presente trabalho teve como intuito investigar aspectos importantes sobre a política monetária em Cabo Verde e sua transmissão à economia, durante o período 1991/2011 com dados trimestrais. Entre eles figuram o produto interno bruto e o índice de preços como variáveis metas, as taxas ativas para operações a 91 dias como instrumento de política monetária e por fim a o índice de câmbio efetivo nominal do BCV como o objetivo intermediário da política monetária. A metodologia empregada foi o modelo VAR e o MS-VAR. Como resultado temos que a modificação de um modelo VAR para um MS-VAR, trouxe ganhos de informações por permitir certa não-linearidade no modelo. Para cada metodologia foi estimado dois modelos, sendo que a diferença é porque um deles não inclui o câmbio (modelo simples). Foram identificados dois regimes, sendo que o regime 2 mostrou ser mais persistente e verificou também a sua exclusividade durante todo o período 1993:1 a 2006:2 o que coincide com o período em que houve a separação das funções do banco central e comercial e a criação de duas instituições independentes, bem como a mudança no regime cambial, que ocorreu em 1998. Observou também que a classificação dos regimes é sensível a mudanças em até certo patamar na taxa de juros e que em Cabo Verde a taxa de juros a que prevalece é relativamente alta. Tal fato se deve a própria estrutura do mercado financeiro nacional e da fraca poupança interna. No segundo regime os resultados das funções impulso e respostas mostraram coerentes com a teoria convencional, no sentido de que choque positivo na taxa de juros leva a redução no produto e nível de preços. Já os resultados obtidos no regime 1 principalmente para a resposta do IPC a um choque na taxa de juro são diferentes, uma vez que tal choque leva a um aumento nessa variável. Ao introduzir o câmbio no modelo, fez com que no regime 1 o impacto da Txjur no IPC se reduza de 3 ponto percentual para 2,5 em relação ao modelo anterior. Outra alteração registrada nos resultados foi o tempo de duração do efeito negativo do choque positivo na taxa de juros sobre o PIB que mostrou ser menor em ambos os regimes.

Neste contexto, são abordadas questões relacionadas com a relevância da abordagem CDF (Comprehensive Development Framework) e com o apoio por parte da comunidade internacional, visando facilitar o processo de desenvolvimento dos países em vias de desenvolvimento. Abordada a questão do exemplo de uma boa abordagem aplicada em Cabo Verde no processo do Acordo de Cooperação Cambial, posteriormente é analisada a importância que esse acordo teve no desenvolvimento económico. Os Objetivos do Milénio integram oito objetivos, onde são definidas as prioridades em termos de elaboração e implementação de medidas de políticas sociais que visam sobretudo proporcionar às populações a garantia e o acesso aos serviços sociais básicos como a saúde, a educação, ao abastecimento de água e redes de saneamento, à igualdade entre os géneros e à conservação do meio ambiente. Cabo Verde aceitou o desafio lançado pela ONU e desde então tem vindo a consolidar, desenvolver e implementar um conjunto de ações estratégicas que lhe permitirão, em 2015, estar confortável em relação ao cumprimento dos ODMs. O trabalho aqui apresentado é o resultado de um estudo sobre Cabo Verde e procura responder as questões como: Cabo Verde evoluiu no sentido da concretização dos objetivos do milénio? Qual é o modelo de desenvolvimento mais adequado para Cabo Verde?

Full textThe high dependence on fossil fuels is one of the main difficulties in the current energy system in Cape Verde. The price of fuel is a significant, accounting for about 70%, and the cost structure of the price of electricity. With this work, seeks to analyze the impact of renewable energy in the energy system and the economy of Cape Verde, highlighting their contribution to the formation of BIP, in the Balance of Payments, in Employment, and the Service of Debt, and to draw a comparison with the islands of Macaronésia, in particular the Autonomous Region of Azores. Thus contributing to the discussion that may show that the potential of renewable energy by exploring will bring economic benefits to the country, because the expectation is to exceed the 50% penetration rate of Renewable Energy in the production of electricity in Cape Verde until 2020. It is estimated that the consumption of electricity in 2010 was 335 MWh, will double by the year 2020, reaching the 670 GWh. According to studies carried out, the country has an estimated potential of 2,600 MW of Renewable Energy, having been analyzed more than 650 MW in concrete projects with production costs possibly less than the fossil fuels. Cape Verde enjoys good conditions for the use of renewable energy, but the contribution of this potential, especially wind and solar, are still very limited, so that the country should invest in increasing the use of these forms of energy to reduce the dependence on foreign sources of energy.

Full textThe informal economy, initially considered as a temporal phenomenon, became an important element of contemporary reality during the last decades. It has an especial weight in developing countries, evolving a significant number of people and causing different consequences for the State and also for thousands of workers who are part of this sector. The processes of organization in the informal economy pretend, among many other aims, to amplify the voice of the representatives of the sector, leading to searching solutions for the difficult situation in which they are, normally not by choice, but because of the lack of other options. This dissertation, composed of two parts, analyses on the basis of the documental investigation and field research, the processes of organization, relatively recent and in constant progress, among informal workers in Cape Verde. This first attempt to systematize the materials collected constitutes a part of the vast background which serves as a framework for the case study of an organization constituted in the artistic world of Mindelo City, considered as the capital cultural of Cape Verde. The Association of the Artisans of Mindelo CAMIN, was created in July of 2012, to attempt to resolve the problems of the conditions of work and, automatically, of life of people who chose the arts and crafts creation as their profession and their livelihood, as well as that of their families, depending on the means they get from that. Especially vulnerable, because of the dual dimension of the problems which they have to deal with, they hope to be able to resolve them as an organized group.

Cape Verde has been faced with the challenge of competitiveness and economic integration, but their investments needs are very high. Through an innovative process of change articulated to the Stock Exchange, Cape Verde seeks to deal with this problem. Indeed, it is in the central question: "In what degree, the existence of the Stock Exchange entity, which is a primary source of business funding, contributes, positively, to the economic growth in an island economy?" where the Stock Exchange of Cape Verde is used to verify such dimension. This study aims to conceptualize the Capital Market by exploring the role of the Stock Exchange as an alternative source of funding, and to show how the economic growth of a country is linked to this market. The study allowed concluding that the Cape Verde Capital Markets is characterized by a still low capitalization and low liquidity. But given the size and characteristic of the market, as well as the number of listed companies, the stock market might be one of the main motor forces meeting the financing needs for many companies in Cape Verde.

A presente dissertação consiste em analisar empiricamente os seus determinantes, mais especificamente, o crescimento económico real de Portugal, o crescimento económico real de Espanha, remessas de emigrantes, assistência oficial de desenvolvimento, o défice orçamental, a taxa de câmbio real efetiva, e o crescimento real económico de Cabo-verde para um período anual referente a três décadas (de 1991 a 2017). Utilizando o método OLS, os resultados evidenciam que as remessas de emigrantes, a taxa de crescimento económico de Portugal e a assistência ao desenvolvimento são relevantes a um nível de significância de 10%. As remessas de emigrantes tem uma relação positiva com a balança corrente Cabo-verdiana na medida em que um aumento induz à um aumento no saldo da balança corrente, bem como a taxa de crescimento de Portugal tem uma relação positiva, a assistência ao desenvolvimento, demonstre uma relação positiva evidenciando um melhoramento no saldo da balança corrente.
Cape Verde has always operated under current account deficits. This dissertation consists of empirically analyzing its determinants, more specifically, the real economic growth of Portugal, the real economic growth of Spain, remittances of emigrants, official development assistance, the budget deficit, the effective real exchange rate, and the Cape Verde's real economic growth for a period of three decades (from 1991 to 2017). Using the OLS method, the results show that emigrant remittances, Portugal's economic growth rate and development assistance are relevant at a 10% significance level. Remittances from emigrants have a positive relationship with the Cape Verdean current account as an increase leads to an increase in the current account balance, and Portugal's growth rate has a positive relationship, development assistance shows a positive relationship showing an improvement in the current account balance.

Full textMonetary policy is a branch of economic policy is currently very relevant to the conduct of an anti-inflationary policy. The conduct of sound monetary policy has been a major concern in many countries, developed and developing countries, including Cape Verde. This paper aims to analyze the impact of monetary policy in a small open economy, such as Cape Verde. Since, as mentioned above, monetary policy is now essential to the conduct of an anti-inflation policy, it was found that during the study period (1975-2008), price stability has been one of the main objectives of Cape Verdean authorities. This has been seeking an agreement through the Stand-by with the IMF, to restore the balance of national public accounts. So I started by making a brief characterization of the economy of Cape Verde. In this line, was also analyzed the contribution of the reconciliation of the monetary, fiscal and exchange rate for the harmonized growth of the economy. Then carried out a study on the transmission mechanism of monetary policy in order to determine the impact of a change in the rate of GDP and other variables, having been used for such a VAR model.

Full textIn the present study we have tried to understand the benefits that creative economies - considered the economies of the future - bring to Cape Verde, a country where natural resources are almost non-existent. To verify the hypothesis raised we used the Atlantic Music Expo - Cape Verde (CV-AME) as case study, being a music market that is held in Praia whose first edition took place in 2013 and where artists / Cape Verdean musicians had the opportunity to present their work to an international audience of skilled professionals. It was our intention to examine the contributions of the AME-CV to Cape Verde, particularly for its music industry. Therefore we proceeded to the theoretical framework of the different concepts associated with the notion of creative economy and the positioning of Cape Verde in the field. With regard to the case study, we carried on the observation of the event and conducted interviews with key institutional actors, artists / musicians and other cultural agents. The interviews were conducted in person, under the second edition of the AME-CV. After analysing the data collected, it appears that creative economies, namely cultural activities, contribute to the country’s development. The AME-CV is contributing to Cape Verdean music industry, enhancing its passage from embryonic and previously established to properly established, two categories that the UNCTAD uses to measure the state of the music and entertainment industry in African countries and which were taken as references in the study.

Having identified the research question "Can the Microcredit NGOs make their attributions compatible with the concepts of Sustainability as well as with Social and Solidarity Economy?", it has essential to define a coherent theoretical frame, that did not abstain from comprising the concepts of Social and Solidarity Economy, Microcredit and Sustainability, followed by deep field research that was conducted very close to the object of study. Accordingly, it was adopted a "case study" methodology, which allowed for direct observation, as well as indirect observation and related instruments like document analysis, surveys and semi-structured interviews. This work made possible to conclude that Cape Verde's Microcredit ONGs can reach a compatibility between the attribution of, not only Microcredit, but also other microfinancial services, and the concepts of Sustainability and Solidarity Economy. However, this harmony will only be possible with the acknowledgement from the organisations' key officials of the multidimensionality of the Sustainability concept, not only on their speeches, but most importantly in its usage in the practices they are developing.

Full textNo mundo dinâmico e turbulento de hoje, os países e as suas organizações enfrentam um desafio gritante – a mudança ou o perecer. A menos que assumem uma atitude inovadora, correm o risco de serem ultrapassados pelos concorrentes. A inovação, o processo de mudança, é fundamental para o sucesso de todos os estados e suas organizações (John Bessant 2009). Este estudo tem por base explorar a inovação nos serviços do setor turísticos ao longo dos anos e o seu contributo na economia cabo-verdiana. Duas questões de pesquisa orientaram o estudo: 1 – Qual o grau de inovação nos serviços turísticos, tendo em conta as variáveis e o intervalo do tempo em estudo? 2 – Como a inovação nos serviços turísticos tem contribuído para a dinamização da economia Cabo-verdiana? A concretização do proposto acima, foi realizado através de uma pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa. A pesquisa quantitativa foi executada mediante a aplicação de questionários e entrevistas telefónicas às empresas de cariz turística: alojamento; restauração e entretenimento, usando como variáveis de estudo: a capacitação tecnológica e propensão para a inovação, assim como as barreias. Complementada com a pesquisa qualitativa, realizada através de revisão bibliográfica, fontes informativas e publicação de dados oficiais, relatando o impacto do turismo na economia. A análise dos dados foi feito através do Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) e as variáveis medidas através da escala de Likert. O resultado do estudo permitiu concluir que, realmente existe uma grande melhoria nos serviços turísticos em Cabo Verde, bem como o registo do aumento do peso do setor na economia com o decorrer dos anos, apesar dos grandes entraves à inovação.

Cabo Verdeé um paísde pequena dimensão territorial e populacional, no entanto alguns autores concluíram que a influência da dimensão populacional sobre o crescimento económico é praticamente irrelevante e que a pequena dimensão territorial, embora seja um constrangimento, não constitui propriamente uma «barreira sistemática ao desempenho económico». Realmente, fazendo uma análise da situação económica desde a sua independência até ao momento presente, a realidade evidenciaesta afirmação. Não obstante o bom desempenho da economia cabo-verdiana, desde sempre o paísopera com um défice na balança corrente derivado da necessidade da importação de grande parte dos bens consumidos. Esta situação tem provocado défices na balança de pagamentos fazendo com que o paísrecorraao estrangeiro para financiar a economia. Oobjectivo deste trabalho é o estudo da evolução da balança de pagamentos da economia cabo-verdiana, bem como a análise docontributo de cada um dos seus componentes para o seu comportamento ao longo doperíodo considerado, numa tentativa de encontrar aspectos susceptíveis de aperfeiçoar para que a sua evolução seja favorável para a economia. O presente estudo revela que Cabo Verdetem um problema estruturante na balança de pagamentos, apresentando consecutivos défices durante o período de 1991 a 2010. Este défice é estimulado pela balança corrente cujo comportamento desfavorável para a economia é impulsionado pela balança de bens. Apesar da balança de corrente apresentar um saldo negativo, a mesma apresenta uma importante componente (transferências correntes) para a economia cabo-verdiana cujo saldo é determinado essencialmente pelas remessas dos emigrantes.

Sendo um fenómeno complexo, o branqueamento de capitais relaciona-se com uma grande variedade de crimes, incluindo o tráfico de drogas, que figura como a “cabeça da serpente”, numa metáfora à sinuosidade das suas intrincadas elaborações e perigos sociais e económico-políticos. Numa perspetiva mais geral, esta dissertação dedica especial atenção ao combate ao branqueamento de capitais no contexto das Comunidades dos Países da Língua Oficial Portuguesa (CPLP). Com a globalização e evolução das sociedades este crime aprimorou-se e tornou-se num dos principais delitos a afetar, a nível nacional e internacional, as economias. Cabo Verde, devido à sua situação geográfica, tornou-se um país muito atrativo para narcotraficantes e branqueadores de dinheiro, daí que particular atenção seja dada à análise das suas dinâmicas, recorrendo-se, entre outras estratégias, a algumas entrevistas, procurando entender como este país tem vindo a crescer bastante na luta contra este tipo de crime, sobretudo no que tange a legislações e atuação das autoridades competentes na matéria. Analisamos também o impacto do branqueamento de capitais sobre o crescimento económico dos países da CPLP. Procedendo ainda a uma revisão bibliográfica, procuramos mostrar como o estudo econométrico pode constituir um modelo de referência básica e um ponto de partida para futuros estudos sobre branqueamento de capitais e seu impacto sobre a economia.
This thesis focuses on the fight against money laundering in Cape Verde. It presents and analyzes some of the most active and international instruments to combating this scourge. Being a complex phenomenon, money laundering relates-to a wide range of crimes, including drug trafficking, which figures as a "serpent's head," a metaphor that ilustrates its social and economic-political dangers. In a more general perspective, this dissertation pays particular attention to the fight against money laundering in the context of the Communities of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP). As is widely known, this crime has improved and has become one of the main aspects affecting national and international economies. Due to its geographical situation, Cape Verde has become a very attractive country for drug traffickers and money launderers. Particular attention is given to the analysis of its dynamics, using, among other strategies, some interviews, trying to understand how the country has been growing in the fight against this types of crime, especially with regard to legislation and scope of the authorities in this matter. We also analyze the impact of money laundering on the economic growth of the CPLP countries. In addition to a bibliographical review, we attempt to show how the econometric study can be a basic reference model and a starting point for future studies on money laundering and its impact on the economy.

Full textEsta dissertação debruça sobre a diplomacia económica em Cabo Verde. Apresenta um enquadramento do país, analisando a sua economia e o seu posicionamento em indicadores internacionais e descreve a diplomacia cabo-verdiana. Perspetiva novas estratégias e políticas para o turismo, o principal driver económico de Cabo Verde. Analisa os fluxos de IDE, de 2000 até a atualidade, avançando conclusões e recomendações de política. Afere como a atividade diplomática evoluiu, com foco nos domínios económicos e empresariais. A diplomacia económica envolve a comercialização de produtos e serviços, a atração de IDE e de fluxos turísticos, a internacionalização da economia e, por vezes, a melhoria de acesso aos modelos internacionais de financiamento. O conceito abarca também ações que contribuam para a afirmação da estrutura económica e empresarial de um Estado no exterior, nomeadamente a “imagem” que um país consegue transmitir no extrangeiro. Cabo Verde apresenta uma posição geográfica e uma estabilidade económica, política e social que o diferencia da maioria dos países africanos. A condição capital para o seu desenvolvimento prende-se com a capacidade de atrair capitais externos. A ascensão de Cabo Verde à País de Desenvolvimento Médio coincidiu com a crise financeira mundial. Com esta alteração, as ajudas externas, os financiamentos concessionais e os fluxos de IDE diminuíram de forma significativa. Um dos objetivos fundamentais desta dissertação é a proposição de um framework para a operacionalização do sistema de diplomacia económica em Cabo Verde e a elaboração de um conjunto de recomendações de política para as autoridades caboverdianas. A metodologia utilizada inclui, entre outras, a realização de exercícios de benchmarking com as melhores práticas internacionais no ramo da diplomacia económica e, sobretudo, a produção de informação qualitativa a partir da realização de entrevistas aos principais policy makers cabo-verdianos na área da política económica e das relações externas. A aplicação dos vários instrumentos metodologicos permite concluir que a diplomacia económica pode desempenhar uma função estratégica na mobilização de capitais para Cabo Verde, nomeadamente através da captação de IDE. A diplomacia económica é um mecanismo de grande utilidade para a promoção de Cabo Verde como destino turístico e para a afirmação do arquipélago no contexto internacional.
This study is focused in Cape Verde’s economic diplomacy. It contextualizes the country by describing its economy and the Cape Verde positioning in international indicators. It analyzes new strategies and policies for tourism, the main economic driver of Cape Verde. It examines the FDI flows in the country, from 2000 to 2014, advancing important conclusions. It looks at how the diplomatic activity has been transformed in recent decades and how economic diplomacy has emerged. The economic diplomacy is a mechanism that involves the commercialization of products and services, the attraction of foreign direct investment and, among others, the attraction of touristic influx. The concept also includes actions that contribute to the strengthening of the economic structure of a country abroad, which can be translated in the image that a State presents to the world. Cape Verde image tends to be denoted by it’s great geographical location, economy, politics and social stability, which differentiates it from most of the African countries. One of the main conditions required for the development of the Cape Verde, tends to be closely related with the country’s ability to attract foreign capital. The diversity of Cape Verde’s productive base is essential for the country’s economical sustainability. The country climb to a country of median developmental overlapped the world’s financial crisis. Due to these two major events, the external financial aid and influx of foreign direct investment were considerably decreased. In addition, one of the fundamental goals of this dissertation is to propose a framework for the economic diplomacy system in Cape Verde and a set of recommendations to the cape-verdians authorities. To proceed with this study, to the best of our knowledge, the first one of this kind in Cape Verde, the methodology applied includes, among others, the production of qualitative data based on interviews with capeverdean top policy makers of economic and external relations fields. The application of multiple methodological instruments shows that the economic diplomacy can play a strategic role in mobilizing capital to Cape Verde, including by attracting FDI. Economic diplomacy can be a useful tool to promote the archipelago as a touristic destination and for the branding of Cape Verde on the international scene.

Full textThis study begins with a brief review of related literary and then the economy of Cape Verde is statistically described. From the graphical analysis of the two individual series: gross domestic product (GDP) and foreign direct investment (FDI) we verified a positive trend of the two series. Econometrically, the results of the test for the existence of unit root did not reject the existence of unit root in each series. Analyzing the cointegration relationship between GDP and FDI using the Johansen test, we conclude the existence of a cointegration relation. The fact that the series are cointegrated allows us to proceed to the estimation of long-term relationships. To choose the optimal lag for the VAR model, it was used the criteria of Schwarz (SC), Akaike (AIC) and Hannan-Quinn (HQ). In the test for Granger Causality (GC), it was found an unidirectional relation, i.e. GDP granger causes FDI, but not the reverse. Thus, we may conclude that GDP has stimulated FDI inflows into Cape Verde. From the analysis of impulse response functions (IRF), it is concluded that the impact of an exogenous shock in error terms of GDP has a long persistence in the behavior of the FDI. Form the analysis of the effects of the foreign direct investment in the Cape Verde’s economic growth from 1987 to 2008, we may conclude that GDP has stimulated FDI in Cape Verde. However, FDI has not been found to affect the economic growth in Cape Verde. This conclusion does not corroborate with the theories that say that FDI is one of the main factors of economic growth in the developing countries.

Full textO objetivo central desta tese consiste em verificar se a reduzida dimensão do país representa uma barreira significativa no processo do crescimento económico. De uma forma global, foram realizadas análises descritivas e empíricas do impacto de algumas variáveis económicas e ambientais, na taxa de crescimento do PIB per capita dos países pequenos em comparação com os países grandes, e foi estudado o processo de crescimento económico de um país pequeno e insular, Cabo Verde. Para responder à questão de partida, primeiro, recorreu-se à revisão da literatura, teórica e empírica, dos efeitos da dimensão do país no crescimento económico e, posteriormente, foram efetuadas análises descritivas de algumas variáveis económicas no grupo de países pequenos e de países grandes, o que ajudou na definição das linhas orientadoras da investigação empírica. Com recurso à técnica estatística das análises de clusters e aos indicadores população e área, foram definidos os grupos de países pequenos e de países grandes. Conciliando a fórmula genérica do modelo de crescimento económico (que engloba o modelo de Solow aumentado e acrescido de outras variáveis determinantes do crescimento) com o estimador system-GMM, foi analisado empiricamente, no período 1970-2010, o impacto das variáveis de interesse Investimento Direto Estrangeiro, Abertura Comercial, Instituições Políticas, Sociais e Económicas, Geografia, Coesão Social e Vulnerabilidade Ambiental na taxa de crescimento do PIB per capita de países pequenos e de países grandes. A investigação foi, também, direcionada para identificar empiricamente os canais de transmissão (capital humano, capital físico e produtividade) das variáveis de interesse na taxa de crescimento do PIB per capita e o contributo destas variáveis na taxa de convergência entre os países de cada grupo. Os resultados encontrados indicam um certo equilíbrio entre o número de variáveis de interesse, cujo impacto é significativamente diferente, e aquelas cujo efeito é essencialmente igual, no crescimento económico dos países pequenos e dos países grandes. A produtividade foi identificada como o principal canal de transmissão das variáveis de interesse na taxa de crescimento do PIB per capita nos dois grupos de países. Os resultados evidenciam uma taxa de convergência β superior nos países pequenos, mas a diferença entre os coeficientes não é significativa. No geral, concluiu-se que os vários condicionantes associados à reduzida dimensão, apesar de influenciarem o impacto de alguns fatores no PIB per capita, não constituem um handicap ao crescimento económico, comparativamente aos países grandes. Adicionalmente, foi realizado o Growth Diagnostic da economia cabo-verdiana, com recurso ao modelo desenvolvido por Hausmann, Rodrik e Velasco (2005). Desta análise foram identificados vários fatores que têm dificultado os investimentos/crescimento económico em Cabo Verde, como a fraca intermediação financeira, deficientes infraestruturas, altos custos nas ligações entre as ilhas, ineficiente fornecimento de energia elétrica e desvios entre as necessidades de capital humano e as áreas de formação do ensino secundário e terciário. Assim, as políticas do Governo devem ser direcionadas no sentido de ultrapassar estas barreiras.
The purpose of this thesis is to verify if a small country size is a significant constraint on economic growth process. Overall, a descriptive and empirical analysis of the impact of some economic and environmental variables on the growth rate of GDP per capita in small and large countries was conducted, and the process of economic growth of a small island country, Cape Verde, was studied. To answer the main question, a survey of the theoretical and empirical literature on the effects of country size on economic growth was conducted and, subsequently, a descriptive analysis of some economic variables in the group of small and large countries was made, which helped in defining the guidelines for the empirical research. The groups of small states and large states were defined using the statistical technique cluster analysis and the variables population and area. The empirical analysis was conducted reconciling the generic formula of the economic growth model (which includes the augmented Solow model and additional variables) with the system-GMM estimator. The impact of the variables of interest Foreign Direct Investment, External Trade, Political, Social and Economic Institutions, Geography, Social Cohesion and Environmental Vulnerability on the growth rate of GDP per capita in small and large states was analyzed empirically for the period 1970-2010. The research was also directed to identify the transmission channels (human capital, physical capital and productivity) through which the variables of interest affect the growth rate of GDP per capita, and the contribution of these variables to the convergence rate between the countries of each group. The results indicate a balance between the number of variables of interest whose impact on economic growth in small and large countries is significantly different, and those whose effects are essentially the same in both groups of countries. Productivity (TFP) was identified as the main transmission channel through which the variables of interest affects the growth rate of GDP per capita in the two groups of countries. The results indicated a higher β convergence rate in small states, but the difference between the coefficients is not statistically significant. The overall conclusion was that small country size influences the impact of some factors on the growth rate of GDP per capita, but it is not a handicap for economic growth relative to large country size. Additionally, a Growth Diagnostic of the Cape Verdean economy was undertaken using the model developed by Hausmann, Rodrik and Velasco (2005). Several factors that having hindered investment/growth in Cape Verde were identified, such as weak financial intermediation, poor infrastructure, high costs of travel (boats and planes) across islands, inefficient supply of electricity and deviations between the human capital needs and the areas of formation (manly secondary and tertiary schools). Thus, the Government's policies should be directed towards overcoming these constraints.

Full textThe cash flows generated Cape Verde’s economy, so far, have been insufficient to finance its development, due to constraints concerning the lack of natural resources, the trade balance deficit and the geographical distribution and dimension of the territory. In this context, foreign capital appears as a strategic resource for Cape Verde’s development. Foreign investment is a significant instrument to overcome some shortfalls of the cape-verdean economy. Therefore the relevance of this study which is based on the question: "The incentives offered by CV and the environment have been effective enough to attract FDI or the numbers could be better?" Following the literature and theoretical review, in order to get the answer to the research question, we have analyzed the stimulus and environment provided to foreign investors through instruments launched by the Government. We have analysed the evolution of FDI´s flows into the country, with particular focus on the period 2000 - 2006, from statistical data. The subsequent analysis - the perception of foreign investors in CV - produced a qualitative survey study, conduced on a sampling of ten foreign investors, selected from founded criterions. As a result, we observed that the instruments undertaken by the Government in attracting FDI are over than ten years old and the higher FDI peak took place during the two last years. It was noticed that foreign investors choose the cape-verdean market because of its politic and economic stability. On the other hand, foreign investors show great constraints in terms of infrastructure, internal maritime connection and international flight connections. The administrative formalities are also subject of a negative evaluation by the investors surveyed. We have eventually figured out that the attraction instruments for FDI in CV are not effective enough for the needs of foreign investors. This demonstrates that there is a interesting ground to be explored.

The theoretical aspects that involve and relate the behavior of real exchange rate and exports and imports were studied in detail. The model Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) in differences, was the methodology that was used to analyze all the variables, with annual data from 1983 to 2008. It was conducted a study of the variables exchange rate, exports and imports of goods, external and internal GDP in real terms. The results indicate that there is a relation between these variables, but the impact of real exchange rate on exports and imports of goods is negligible, which means, is smaller than the influences of the GDP of Cape Verde and foreign GDP.

Full textRESUMOAlguma literatura económica defende que o investimento direto estrangeiro (IDE) tem um efeito positivo sobre o crescimento económico dos países em desenvolvimento, como é o caso de Cabo Verde. Contudo, ainda nenhum consenso foi alcançado sobre a causalidade entre essas duas variáveis. Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar a existência de uma relação de equilíbrio de longo prazo entre o IDE e o crescimento económico para o período de 1986 a 2014 na economia cabo-verdiana, utilizando metodologias adequadas para séries. Procura-se também analisar potenciais mecanismos de transmissão do IDE para o comportamento do produto que podem também constituir-se como fatores determinantes da capacidade de atração de IDE por parte da economia em análise. Em particular, analisa-se (alternativamente) a relação do IDE com o investimento interno, com o capital humano e com o setor do turismo. Relativamente à relação IDE/produto, concluiu-se pela existência de uma relação de equilíbrio de longo prazo sendo, que o PIB per capita tem influência unilateral sobre o IDE. Verificou-se também que um dos determinantes fundamentais do IDE é o capital humano, daí aconselhar-se os decisores públicos de Cabo Verde a fazerem forte aposta no investimento em capital humano pelo papel que desempenha na capacidade de absorção das tecnologias associadas ao IDE e consequentemente no crescimento económico. Contudo, o CAPHUM parece ser importante para atrair IDE, mas este por sua vez não se revelou como causa do aumento do PIB.Palavras-chave: Investimento Direto Estrangeiro, Crescimento Económico, Modelos VAR/VECM, Séries Temporais, Cabo VerdeClassificação do JEL: D92, O11, O40, C32, Z32
ABSTRACTSome economic literature argues that foreign direct investment (FDI) has a positive effect on the economic growth of developing countries, such as Cape Verde. However, no consensus has yet been reached on the causality between these two variables. This work aims to investigate the existence of a long-term equilibrium relationship between FDI and economic growth for the period 1986 to 2014 in the Cape Verdean economy, using appropriate methodologies for series. It is also tried to analyze potential mechanisms of transmission of the FDI to the behavior of the product that can also constitute as determinants of the capacity of attraction of FDI by the economy in analysis. In particular, the relationship between FDI and domestic investment, human capital and the tourism sector is analyzed (alternatively). Regarding the FDI / product ratio, it was concluded that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship, with per capita GDP having a unilateral influence on FDI. It was also verified that one of the fundamental determinants of FDI is human capital, hence it is advisable for Cape Verde's public decision-makers to make a strong investment in human capital for their role in the absorption capacity of FDI technologies and consequently Growth. However, CAPHUM seems to be important in attracting FDI, but FDI has not been a cause of GDP growth.Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Economic Growth, VAR/VECM Models, Time Series, Cape VerdeJEL classification: D29, O11, O40, C32, Z32

This work proposes the elaboration of an action plan for the period of three years. From the year 2017, to 2020, as support to managers and leaders of the Microfinance Institutions. The approval of the Law n. º 83/VIII/2015, of January 16th, 2015, allowed to establish a new legal framework for the activities of microfinance and its institutions. Having as one of the central elements, the institutionalization of Microfinance Institutions, with commercial nature, that is, becoming capital companies. Based on these assertions, the present study try to explore the institutionalization or transformation of Microfinance Institutions - designed for innovation, strengthening and boosting this sector, as an instrument of strategy and eradication of poverty in a sustainable and competitive way. The intention is to identify the challenges and conditions of transformation of an NGO (Project) into an institution specializing in microfinance In this case, it was adopted a qualitative methodology, involving documentary analysis, using the interviews technique - semi-structured - directed to the President responsible and to the manager of CITI-Habitat’s Microcredit Office. Therefore, the study concluded that Cape Verdean Microfinance Institutions (as CITI-Habitat) don’t have the necessary conditions for their transformation yet, it is believed that it is possible - and desirable - to transform the Project into an institution specializing in microfinance.

Full textCurrently tourism is a highly competitive sector, gaining space and importance in the economy, being an important source of external revenue source mainly for the least developed countries. In Cape Verde, tourism has been the subject of discussion by policy makers, since the activity has added important macroeconomic effects and assumed itself as the main sector of this small open economy. This work, entitled "Impact of the growth of the tourism sector on social welfare: the case of Cape Verde" aims to study if the development of tourism in Cape Verde, seeking to identify whether it has been accompanied by the increase of the social welfare of the Cape Verdean population. With this objective a welfare index was calculated and its evolution was analyzed in recent years. The study made it possible to verify that the tourism sector has become more marked since the year 2000, assuming an increasingly decisive role in the growth of the Cape Verdean economy, allowing improvements in the living conditions of the populations. Between 2000 and 2016, a period of strong expansion of tourism, the population welfare rate has increased significantly, with significant improvements in the fields of education, economic well-being, water, sanitation and energy, health and economic vulnerability.

Full textA presente tese versa o processo de reforma da contabilidade pública no Governo Central de Cabo Verde, abrangendo o período a partir de 2001 até à atualidade, analisando quais foram os fatores que impulsionaram a reforma. Este período foi particularmente importante, pois marcou a introdução, pela primeira vez, da contabilidade patrimonial em regime de acréscimo. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste principalmente em descrever a evolução e a situação atual do sistema contabilístico cabo-verdiano ao nível do governo central, discutindo como têm atuado os diversos fatores intervenientes no processo de reforma, como tal atuação tem conduzido à institucionalização do sistema atualmente em vigor e como poderá vir a determinar outras reformas futuras. O estudo, enquadrado teoricamente pelo modelo de contingência do Lüder (1994; 2002) e pela teoria institucional (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983), é de natureza qualitativa, tendo os dados sido recolhidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e de análises de diversos documentos e normativos legais. Para o tratamento das entrevistas utilizamos o software MAXQDA. Ademais, para analisar e estruturar os dados a partir das entrevistas, utilizamos o chamado “método Gioia”. No tratamento dos dados, realizamos uma análise de conteúdo qualitativo e quantitativo. Tratando-se de um estudo inédito, traz importantes contribuições para compreender os processos de reforma da contabilidade pública em países em desenvolvimento, tendo uma contribuição particular para o contexto cabo-verdiano, realidade ainda muito pouco analisada academicamente. O estudo permitiu concluir que houve diversos estímulos para a reforma, nomeadamente: mudança do regime político, doutrina contabilística dominante, pressões financeiras e requisitos de uma reforma mais alargada do sector público. De acordo com o evidenciado em alguns documentos, bem como por determinados entrevistados, houve também uma pressão positiva para a reforma da parte dos organismos internacionais (e.g. Banco Mundial, Banco Africano de Desenvolvimento e União Europeia) no sentido da inovação do sistema contabilístico. Relativamente aos atores, as reformas foram iniciadas pelos Membros do Governo e implementadas pelos próprios atores da gestão financeira do Estado (diretores gerais, diretores de serviços e técnicos nacionais). As reformas estão a ser implementadas na administração pública gradualmente. No que respeita a análise de conteúdo quantitativa, notamos que existem termos que foram repetidas com bastante frequência, nomeadamente: “transparência”, “PNCP”, “descentralização”, “burocracia”, “parceiros”, “pressão” e “implementação”, tal como na parte da análise qualitativa como mencionado pelos entrevistados.
This thesis deals with the reform process of the accounting system in the Cape Verde Central Government since 2001, analysing the factors that motivated the reform. This period was particularly important, since the accrual-based accounting was firstly introduced in the public sector. The main goal of this research is to describe the evolution and the current situation of the Cape Verdean accounting system at the level of the Central Government, discussing how the various intervening factors in the reform process have acted, as this action has led to the institutionalization of the system currently in force and how it might determine other future reforms. The study is theoretically framed by the contingency model (Lüder 1994; 2002) and the institutional theory (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983); it is a qualitative-based research and the data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analysis of several documents and of the legal framework. Regarding to the interviews treatment, we use MAXQDA software. Moreover to analyze and structure the data from the interviews, we use the so-called “Gioia method”. Dealing with data, we performed a qualitative and quantitative content analysis. It is a pioneering investigation with important contributions to understand public sector accounting reform processes in developing countries, with particular focus on the Cape Verdean context, whose reality has not been much analysed academically. The study concluded that there were several stimuli for reform, namely: change of the political regime, dominant accounting doctrine, financial pressures and requirements of a broader reform of the public sector. According to some documents, as well as some interviewees, there was also positive pressure for reform by international organizations (eg World Bank, African Development Bank and European Union) towards the innovation of the accounting system. Regarding the actors, the reforms were initiated by the Government Members and implemented by the state financial management actors themselves (general directors, service directors and national technicians). These reforms are being implemented in public administration gradually. Concerning the analysis of quantitative content, we observed that there are frequently repeated terms, such as: “transparency”, “PNCP”, “decentralization”, “bureaucracy”, “partners”, “pressure” and “implement” as well as in the part of the qualitative analysis mentioned by the interviewees.

Full textA wide array of studies have been carried out on the subject regarding the use of fiscal policies to stimulate the economy in periods of economic recessions and the findings of such studies are diverse, with economists both supporting and against the use of these types of policies. Theoretical knowledge says that, on one hand, increased public spending can foster economic growth by increasing aggregate demand and, on the other hand, it can lead to the crowding out of the economy. With the purpose of corroborating the theoretical validity on this matter, we studied the role of Cape Verdean government's public spending in the country's economic growth for the period ranging from 1988 to 2017 and also, the impact of the source of financing on the GDP. We use an econometric study through a VECM and an ARDL model. Our empirical results support that both current and capital expenditures have a positive impact on the country's economic growth. Increases in taxes and public debt do not reduce GDP, however the financing of capital expenditures using public debt can reduce the effectiveness of these expenditures on the product but maintaining the positive effect on the GDP. Also, no evidence of crowding out effect was detected.

This evolution has affected the business world, creating great opportunities. To this end, contributed three important innovations: Computer Reservation System (CRS), Global Distribution System (GDS) and the Internet. Shanker (2008) According to CPLP site data (2016), tourism is one of the sectors most dynamic economic and social growth, because it contributes to the inflow of foreign exchange, as well as the promotion of employment. In the case of Cape Verde, tourism is one of the mainstays of economic development of the country. The purpose of this research, considering the most dynamic of the tourism sector in Cape Verde, is to explore how the appearance of Cape Verde in offers from major aggregators such as “Booking”, "E-Dreams" and "Travelcity" influenced the system distribution of tourism in Cape Verde and how does this change the tourist image of Cape Verde. Understand whether this process has brought negative impacts or positive to the country. To achieve these goals, they made 10 interviews in 60% of the Cape Verde islands with managers of major travel agencies and tour operators. Study the impact of e-commerce in the distribution system of tourism in Cape Verde is an option that gave really like to work with the natural pupil of Cape Verde, and on the other hand, given the current importance of this sector of activity in the archipelago. With the development of e-commerce in the travel distribution sector, there is a better use of available technology, the increasingly lower costs, increased commercial competition for new customers. According to Marín (2004), with less than two hundred years of history, travel distribution has undergone constant change, making the sector evolve amazing way. The changes do not end soon and the distribution still lie in the maturation process, therefore, an unsafe activity. The results indicated that the greatest difficulties in terms of distribution is the fact that there is a lot of competition from major international operators, the results also indicate that the limited use of computers, e-mails, and other online services by customers is a distribution problem, why not get inside the news and promotions agency.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the analysis of the main factors resulting from public policies with an impact on the competitiveness of the tourist destination that, in the SIDS, occupy a relevant place, taking into account the vulnerabilities of the islands and the requirements of sustainability. In addition to the bibliographic review on the key concepts of tourist destination as a system (demand, supply and impacts), public policies, competitiveness and sustainability of tourist destinations, the research includes a set of three qualitative and quantitative researches. The tourist destination Cape Verde, which is at the 'stage of development’ due to natural attractions such as tropical climate, sun and sea - is at risk of 'stagnation', if the public authorities do not follow the evolution of tourist activities with the most adequate public policies in terms of destination planning and management, investments in key factors such as infrastructure, health, safety and guarantee of environmental/social sustainability. The diversification of the impacts of tourism, which have been limited only to fiscal multipliers (taxes for the State) and generation of semi-qualified jobs, is a condition to enhance the participation of the national private sector in the tourism value chain and more economic and social benefits for communities on all islands. Despite the limitations, a set of theoretical and practical contributions may emerge from the study that can be used by the public sector in order to improve the competitiveness of the destination Cape Verde.

The main objective of this work is to investigate and determine empirically the structure of the banking sector in Cape Verde, the regulation and supervision of this market, thus verifying the paradigm of Structure-Behavior-Results (S-B-R)2, as well as its contribution to the strength the whole financial system. To start the work, was used as the source, processing and analysis of data from Central Bank of Cape Verde (BCV) and studies of a panel of balances of commercial banks operating in the Cape Verdean market between 2000 and 2011. The study was centered primarily in four (4) major national banks (BCA, CECV, BI and BNC), the market called "onshore", which represent more than 80% of total assets of the financial system in Cape Verde. It was clear that, based on the results found (such as Concentration Index and Herfindahl H), the Cape Verdeian banking market is highly concentrated, with low volatility in time, thus presenting typical characteristics of the oligopolistic market structure, hence the analysis of more complex theoretical models and quite realistic as the theory of banking industry organization, with emphasis on original models of Klein-Monti, Cournot, Bertrand and Steckelberg. Finally, it was tried to approach the so-called Regulation and Supervision policies, defined and supervised by the BCV, which, in function of this, exercises its attributions in the securities and insurance capital markets, acting according to the Monista model.

This research seeks to explain the sources of sustainable competitive advantage of the canning in Cabo Verde, because this is a very important sector for national exports and for the economy as a whole. In order to arrive at the conclusions reached, the qualitative methodology was used with a multi-hoc study, and data collection was done through interviews and documentary research, documents provided by the canning companies, and, documents from other entities. After the data were collected, they were worked out to obtain the final conclusions based on the bibliographical research. The study was applied to the two companies in the sector and the results show that, as the literature suggests, the heterogeneity of resources leads to different levels of performance and it was also evident that the immobility of resources and capabilities prevent them from being easily acquired or duplicated, because of cost of acquisition or due to favorable historical conditions.
