Abstract:

This dissertation analyzes two factors which may lie behind the recent productivity surge in the US, the lack of productivity growth in Europe and, ultimately, the persistence of significative differences in the levels of productivity across the two macro areas. First, we analyse the role played by Information Technologies (IT). Second, we study the impact of specific regulatory policies, focusing on the consequences of regulations which constrain the entry of large and peripheral retail stores ("big-boxes"). These issues are explored in the context of the UK economy, whose recent economic per

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the exporting performance of Ukraine. Focusing on the reorientation of merchandise exports, both in terms of geography – from East to West – and in terms of commodity composition, it explores the multi-level determinants of the observed picture. While until 2003-2004 reorientation from East to West appeared to be a steady trend, in 2005 this trend reversed and CIS re-emerged as a leading destination market for Ukraine’s exports. The commodity composition in trade with the EU has also hardly improved, and was more positive in trade with the CIS. Marginal improvements were

Abstract:

The thesis explores whether and how democratic and autocratic political institutions affect the welfare of people in developing countries. First, we empirically investigate whether democracy improves people's health, by using time-series country-level aggregate statistics. We find that there is a robust cross-sectional correlation between democracy and life expectancy at birth. Country fixed effects estimation, on the other hand, does not yield a statistically significant correlation between the two. This empirical approach, however, does not disentangle the effect of democracy from country-le

Abstract:

This thesis examines the effects of micro- and macroprudential regulations on banks conduct and the real economy. We begin with an analysis of regulatory enforcement actions’ effect on regional economic growth in the U.S. Next, we evaluate changes in bank conduct resulting from the implementation of state depositor preference law. Finally, we focus on macroprudential regulation and their effect on multinational banks’ cross-border lending. Throughout this thesis we employ quasi-experimental estimation techniques to establish our results. In the first chapter, we account for the non-random assi

Abstract:

Background: The resource demanding textile industry has long been linked to the linear economy, an economy contributing to negative effects on the environment. However, there is an alternative to the linear economy, namely the circular economy. In a circular economy, a closed-loop design is promoted in order to eliminate the negative effects of the linear economy. However, in the context of the Swedish textile industry, there is a lack of case studies on the topic and especially regarding experienced barriers to a circular business model as well as drivers and enablers needed to overcome these

Seloncette propriété, il est possible de définir ces technologies productives grâce à un ensemble réduit d’hypothèses. Ainsi,des technologies de production polluante convexes, non-convexes et hybrides, peuvent être définies. De plus, cetteapproche peut être app

Abstract:

The overall purpose of this study is to assess various market-based versus aid based approaches to financial autonomy for Dalit women in rural India and the goals and assumptions of the multiple stakeholders involved in each method (mainly, national and international NGOs, the state, and micro-finance organizations). I argue that approaches to income generation such as entrepreneurship, capital investment, and skill building, are based on similar objectives of economic agency, but ultimately lend to different results because of their varying assumptions about “women’s empowerment.” By separat

Abstract:

Este trabalho estuda a relação entre a formalização das firmas, detentoras de licença municipal ou estadual, e a formalização de seus empregados. Em função da simultaneidade entre os indicadores, utiliza-se o SIMPLES, que representa uma variação exógena na carga tributária relevante para as micro e pequenas empresas, alterando, portanto, os incentivos à formalização para essas firmas. Para avaliar essa relação, o estudo utiliza a base de dados da Economia Informal Urbana (ECINF) de 2003, disponibilizado pelo IBGE em parceria com o SEBRAE, sobre micro e pequenos negócios em áreas não rurais no

Abstract:

Foreign direct investment is a topic that currently ranks highly on the agenda of most countries, forming the basis of policy design and development on both a microeconomic and macroeconomic level. From a microeconomic perspective, business strategies are undergoing radical shifts in order to compete in an ever-competitive global climate. Businesses therefore need to diversify their operations across borders as this is essential for ensuring survival. Yet, the motivation and desire of business are not necessarily beneficial to the country, region or market that a particular business plans to e

Abstract:

This dissertation finds significant differences in the micro-level household consumption behavior between emerging and developed economies, disentangles multiple possible explanations for these differences, and evaluates their macroeconomic implication on business cycles. The first chapter estimates the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) out of transitory income shocks using micro data for an emerging economy. To this end, I employ a nationally representative Peruvian household survey. Two striking differences emerge when the Peruvian MPC estimates are compared with U.S. MPC estimates

Abstract:

A vibrant industrial sector that includes growing small and medium-sized enterprises is a boon to any economy. By increasing output and incomes, providing jobs for unskilled labourers, and improving prospects for efficiency and technological development, growing small firms offer both immediate and long-term benefits. These words by McCormick et aI, (1997) say it all. The theme of this study is growth, development and promotion of industry through small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). SMMEs are cherished because of their resilience to economic setbacks, their flexibility, innovative cap
