Full textAbstract:
<p>Financial speculation has increased dramatically over the last 30 years. This means that a practice that used to be viewed as immoral <i>gambling</i> has become legitimate financial <i>trade</i>. This book explores the<i> genealogy</i> of the coexisting<i> insider trading laws</i>. The insider regulation prohibits trade based on privileged information in order to create equal trading conditions, and in this way uphold confidence in the financial markets among the general public. However, this study shows that the existing view of the insider regulation is <i>misleading</i> and that the regulation is best understood as a <i>game rule</i> aiming to <i>stimulate</i> financial speculation. The protection interest is therefore not primarily the general public, but the financial system as such: the professional market actors sustaining the speculative activities and a growing financial sector. </p><p>The consequence of stimulating financial speculation is that today’s authorities are attempting to make the financial markets into a lotto-like game, rather than a market for long-term investment. To make the financial markets into liquid and volatile public “games” means that the <i>risks</i> involved in the financial speculation are created by the human hand and the economic system<i> itself</i> rather than being naturally given. This places <i>desire</i> rather than rational <i>needs</i> as the fundamental ground of the economy. The concluding question is; why are we making our economy into a game? </p>

Full textAbstract:
The credit rating industry is a global industry with only three major actors, Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The “big three” control the majority of the credit rating market and have powers, in the form of credit rating issuances, which they use to influence financial markets worldwide. Ever since their involvement in the fall of corporate giants in early 2000 and the financial crisis of 2008, the power and influence of the credit rating agencies, as well as questions regarding conflict of interest and transparency, have been a hot topic of debate. The impact of credit ratings can be seen across multiple markets; however the focus of this study is on the stock market where every day investors can be affected. As Moody’s is one of the three largest CRAs in the world and is present worldwide, we apply their credit ratings when investigating the impact. Due to different characteristics of large and small markets, and since the US market is well studied; this study is conducted on the Swedish market. Thus, the aim of our study is to investigate the impact credit ratings from Moody’s have on the Swedish stock market and also, give a perspective on how the financial crisis of 2008 influences the potential impact. We apply an event study method to isolate the events and measure the abnormal returns. To estimate the expected market return we use the market model on estimation periods of 60 to 120 days. The sample contains 71 individual credit rating changes from 17 firms listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and considers all uncontaminated credit rating changes issued by Moody’s on the Swedish market during the time period of 1990 to 2012. Empirical evidence showed that the Swedish stock market is susceptible to Moody’s negative credit ratings but almost unaffected by the positive credit ratings. These findings are in line with previous research of Holthausen & Leftwich (1986) amongst others. Still, the effects discovered were not prolonged and no clear difference in impact was found after 2008.

Ingold, Jo. "Policy responses to partnered women outside the labour market : what can Britain learn from Australia and Denmark?" Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2010. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1239/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis compares policies in Australia and Denmark relevant to assisting women from workless couples into work, with a focus on policy learning for Britain. The research uses case studies comprising of documentary analysis and 52 elite interviews with policy actors to create a contextual analysis based on the notion of 'hard' policy learning (Dolowitz, 2009). It also develops the idea of 'policy as translation' (Lendvai and Stubbs, 2007) rather than as 'transfer'. In so doing, it examines the cultural and political underpinnings of the policy developments in each of the countries and how these impact on the translatability of policies and programmes to Britain. The concept of 'welfare recalibration' (Ferrera and Hemerijck, 2003) and its four sub-dimensions (functional, distributive, normative, politico-institutional) is used both as a theoretical basis, as well as a framework for the analysis. It is argued that the normative aspects underpin policy change in the other sub-dimensions. Policies for partnered women in both Australia and Britain have recalibrated their access to social assistance, informed by a normative shift in conceptualising them as 'workers' rather than as 'wives/partners' or 'mothers' (Sainsbury, 1996). In Denmark policies have been restructured in response to perceived challenges resulting from immigration. The thesis argues that policy change, as well as policy learning, for partnered women in all three countries is incremental. It suggests that activation for partnered women as a reflection of welfare recalibration wrongly assumes that the labour market and families have similarly adjusted and that childcare provision in Britain is a missing core foundation for activation for this group, reflective of stalled functional and normative recalibration. The analysis also argues for the incorporation of welfare recalibration as a framework for assessing the possibility of policy learning, as well as in considering whether policy translation has taken place.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined stepcouple relationships through the framework of attachment injury. Specifically, this inquiry explored whether or not individuals who are part of a stepcouple describe relational experiences that are similar to the patterns of attachment injury; and if so, whether or not these experiences are directly attributable to stepfamily formation and maintenance. Attachment theory and existing research regarding both attachment injury and stepfamily formation contributed to the development of core interview questions. Using a multiple-case qualitative research design, interviews were conducted with five women who were both biological and stepmothers in a stepcouple relationship. The pattern matching method of data analysis was used to explore for markers of attachment injury in the stepcouple relationships. The context of the womenâ s stories, as well as direct questions, enabled consideration of the attribution of the attachment injury markers to stepfamily formation. The respondents in this study described experiences that matched the patterns of attachment injury. In each case, at least some of the markers for attachment injury were directly attributable to the relationship difficulties these women encountered in forming and maintaining their stepfamily. Patterns of attachment injury were identified that would not have occurred had the respondents not been part of a stepcouple. These findings hold implications for continued exploration of stepcouples and the mitigation of stepfamily problems through the theoretical framework of attachment and attachment injury.<br>Master of Science

<p>This thesis aims to describe how Swedish firms have established themselves on the Japanese market with help from their business network. This research has been conducted in the light of the economic recession and the complicated Japanese business networks. We have chosen to use a qualitative approach and by doing so we received the three respondents’ views of doing business on the Japanese market. We have focused this thesis on the importance of networks and relationships and have chosen to use new theories regarding business networks and business relationships for the base of our research and to link them with our empirical findings. The interviews conducted have been focused on three respondents who all have broad experience of the Japanese market. These three interviews have been compared to each other in our analysis and through this we have drawn our conclusions. We also give recommendations for Swedish firms who aim to establish themselves on this market.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Housing shortage is a prevalent problem in Sweden. The supply of housing does not meet the demand, which makes it especially difficult for the group outside the ordinary housing market. The need for housing must be met in a long-term perspective. The aim of the thesis has been to investigate how planning is carried out for the group of housing applicants who are outside the ordinary housing market for various reasons, mainly due to limitations in the private economy and/or due to social aspects. To understand why there is a shortage of housing for this group, it has been examined how the state, regions and municipalities work. Case studies have examined the regional development plan for Stockholm with its visions and goals. The municipality's guidelines for housing supply have also been examined in 3 different municipalities in the Stockholm region, which have subsequently been analysed. Visions and goals in the regional development plan show that it must be planned and built for different groups in the housing market according to their needs. The municipalities have different tools for housing supply that are also used in several ways. In order for municipalities to have the conditions to succeed in housing supply, the regions should receive more support from the state to guide the municipalities in the right direction. This indicates that the supply of housing for the different groups can differ considerably. The extent of the housing shortage for this group is unclear. Previous research also shows that there are no methods for understanding the real housing need and statistics for the existing range. Due to the lack of tools, it is difficult to assess the need and how large this group is. Therefore, it is also difficult to know how much more resources and that more support to the municipalities is needed. It also confirms that there are deficiencies in the system of housing supply that should be addressed.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to investigate if an outside investor can gain positive return from investing in company stocks on the Swedish stock market following published announcements of insider stock purchases done through the Swedish financial regulatory authority Finansinspektionen’s public insider transaction registry. Studying a total of 5 966 announced stock purchases during the period 2014 – 2018, the study finds significant positive abnormal return over all studied time periods following the announcement date, regardless of differences in company size. Highest return was found in smaller companies, at the cost of accepting a higher degree of risk. Despite significant results showing informational value of the announced purchases, economic gain from following insider behavior could be inhibited by the cost of investment and would require the outside investor to pick the right stock, which could prove difficult.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Several studies have shown that the Swedish labour market for different reasons is characterized by ethnical discrimination and that people who have another cultural background than Swedish are being excluded. Most studies done within this area have been focused on why it is harder for immigrants to enter the labour market and identifying the contributing mechanisms for this phenomenon. Instead the aim of this study was to see how the immigrants view their own cultural identity and background and how they perceive that their cultural competences are being valued when they apply for a job. To examine this, the following problematic was used: How does a person who has been brought up with both the Swedish culture and another culture look at using this as a cultural competence when they apply for a job. Two different theories were then applied to analyze the problematic, Erving Goffman´s theory about Stigma and Norbert Elias theory about the Established and the Outsiders. To carry out the study, a qualitative method with interviews was used and 8 people from 6 different cultural backgrounds participated. The results show that if the knowledge that had emerged from a persons cultural background turned out to benefit that person in his or her work situation than that person was more likely to see cultural background as a competence. Although if the condition was the opposite then there was no need to see it or to use it as a competence. Therefore cultural competence seems to be useful in specific situations and in interaction with certain people or groups of people rather than being viewed as an overall, general competence. To accentuate cultural competence also proved to be difficult due to the stereotyped conceptions about immigrants that exist in society. The conclusion of this study is that emphasizing cultural competence can sometimes benefit a person although there is always a risk that it could lead to increased stigmatization.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate foreign-born outside Europe with a foreign academic degree, their experience of meetings and entry into the Swedish labor market. The method we used to achieve the purpose is a qualitative method in the form of semi structured interviews. The analysis method for the study is thematic analysis where common themes were found and discussed based on the theories and previous research results. The purpose of the study has been answered in the result section according to the following theme: Education- obstacles and opportunities, ethnic discrimination and integration in the labor market. In conclusion, the study results clearly show how important it is to highlight the obstacles and opportunities that characterize this academic group in the labor market. The key factors behind an effective establishment according to our result section are better acceptance of foreign academic degree from employers, less waiting time for validation of education, more experience from Swedish labor market and various contacts and networks.<br>Studiens syfte är att undersöka utrikesfödda utanför Europa med utländsk akademisk examen, deras upplevelser och erfarenheter av möten med och inträden på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Metoden som vi använt för att uppnå syftet är en kvalitativ studie i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Analysmetoden för studien är tematisk analys där gemensamma teman hittades och diskuterades utifrån teorier och tidigare forskningsresultat som utgångspunkter. I resultatdelen har studiens syfte besvarats enligt följande teman: Utbildning -hinder och möjligheter, etnisk diskriminering och integration på arbetsmarknaden. Sammanfattningsvis så visar studiens resultat klart och tydligt hur viktigt det är att belysa de hinder respektive möjligheter som kännetecknar denna akademiska grupp på arbetsmarknaden. De viktigaste faktorerna bakom en effektiv etablering enligt vad vår resultatdel visar på är: bättre acceptans av examen från hemlandet från arbetsgivarnas sida, mindre väntetid för validering av utbildning, mer erfarenhet från svenskt arbetsliv samt olika kontakter och nätverk.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att öka kunskapen om nyanländas situation på arbetsmarknaden genom att beskriva arbetsförmedlarnas syn på deras möjlighet att erhålla ett fast arbete. Immigranterna är nyanlända i två år efter att de skrivit in sig på arbetsförmedlingen (SFS 2010:197). De omfattas av lagen (SFS 2010:197) om etableringsinsatser för vissa invandrare. Nyanlända är berättigade att ta del av aktiviteter och praktik inom ett år efter de fått uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Undersökningen grundar sig på en kvalitativ metod där fyra intervjuer utgör resultatet av den härstudien. Deltagarna är alla arbetsförmedlare på en arbetsförmedling i Götaland. Resultatet visar att det svenska språket är den viktigaste faktorn för att erhålla arbete, men också det största hindret för att erhålla en tillsvidareanställning. Högutbildade nyanlända har större möjlighet att få arbete inom deras yrkeskategori. Nyanlända med låga eller ingen grundutbildning har sämre möjlighet att få arbete enligt deltagarna. Lågutbildade erhåller ofta låglönejobb i större omfattning än högutbildade. Arbetslivserfarenheter kan också påverka de nyanlända positivt att lättare etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden. Vidare visar resultatet att nyanlända kvinnor och analfabeter är svårast att integrera i arbetslivet. Samhälleliga insatser anses förbättra de individuella förutsättningarna att både vidareutbilda sig och erhålla arbete. Resultatet visar vidare att svenska meriter ger större möjlighet att få arbete än utbildningar och kunskaper som införskaffats utanför Europa. Nyanlända som har sociala kontakter eller skaffar det har goda möjligheter att erhålla arbete. Enligt arbetsförmedlarna förekommer det könsdiskriminering på arbetsmarknaden samt diskriminering på arbetsförmedlingen. Om etisk diskriminering hindrar de nyanlända att erhålla arbete är svårt att säga, då arbetsförmedlarna upplevde ämnet känsligt att tala om. Ytterligare studier behövs inom diskriminering för att få ett perspektiv om hur vanligt förekommande det är.<br>The purpose of this study is to spread light on Swedish employment officer's view on the possibilities for immigrants from outside the Europe to get a job in Sweden. The study is limited to include immigrants who are covered by the Swedish law SFS 2010:197. They have the rights to take part in work related activities and internship within a year from the day they got their permanent recidence permit. They are being seen as newly arrived from two years after the day they register at a Swedish employment office. A qualitative method has been used and the results are based on four interviews with employment officers at the Swedish employment service Arbetsförmedlingen. The picture given by the employment officers show that the Swedish language is the biggest obstacle, but also the prerequisite to get a job. Highly educated immigrants have bigger chances to get a job with in their profession. Immigrants with no or low education have more difficulties to get a job and more often get low wage-jobs. Work experience is also described as increasing the chances to get a job. The group which has the hardest time finding a job is newly arrived immigrants who are women, and illiterate. Contributions from the society is described as increasing the prerequisite to get a job and keep it. Qualifications acquired in Sweden seems to increase the possibilities to get a job, rather than qualifications acquired outside the EU. If discrimination plays a role is hard to tell since the respondants chose to not get into this subject.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Achieving an abnormal return on your investment is something investors are trying to achieve. A lot of attempts have been made to try and find an investment strategy that always generates abnormal returns, although none has been proven to be absolute. Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) proponents argue that when it comes to public available information, one could not get an abnormal advantage of this information. Behavioural Finance (BF) proponents however argue that there may still be possible for this due to human psychology. For markets to have the best possibilities for being efficient, it must be a large and competitive market where information transfers rapidly. When analysing aspects necessary for earning abnormal return for outsiders, there are indications that these aspects does exist and it might be profitable to mimic the insiders operating in the Swedish large-cap bank sector. The large-cap bank sector contains of Svenska Handelsbanken (SHB), Nordea, Swedbank and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB). Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore whether there exist an opportunity in the Swedish bank sector for outsiders to earn abnormal return based on insiders’ transactions. In the process an indirect test will be made to see if the semi-strong form of efficiency holds for the Swedish bank sector. Method: Observing the movements on the market when the information about insider trading becomes public. The results are tested for both statistical significance and economical significance. Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to try and determine whether or not outsiders could mimic the insider’s transactions in order to earn abnormal return in the Swedish bank sector. However, based on this study this seems not to be possible in the overall sector. The signs that indicated that this would be possible for the Swedish large-cap banks turned out to be false. The result that showed statistical difference from zero was negative and it was therefore concluded that the insider did not predict the future very well. This leads to the conclusion that there are stronger factors than the sign of insiders’ transactions determine the future stock price. Since the insiders could not predict the future stock prices, any attempt from outsiders to try to exploit their information would not be beneficial. This resulted in the BF assumptions of under- and overreaction in the price did not occur in this study and instead the results turned out to be in line with the EMH description of semi-strong markets.<br>Bakgrund: Att uppnå överavkastning på sin investering är något investerare ständigt försöker uppnå. Många försök har gjorts för att försöka hitta en investeringsstrategi som alltid genererar överavkastningen, dock har inga gjorts som visat sig vara kontinuerliga. Den Effektiva Marknads Hypotesens förespråkare hävdar att när det gäller offentligt tillgänglig information kan man inte få onormal fördel av detta. Dock hävdar förespråkare för Behavioural Finance att detta fortfarande kan vara möjligt och att detta beror delvis på mänsklig psykologi. För att marknader ska ha de bästa möjligheterna för att vara effektiv, måste de vara stora och konkurrenskraftiga där information överförs snabbt. När man analyserar vissa aspekter som är nödvändiga för att tjäna överavkastningen för utomstående, verkar det finnas tecken på att detta skulle kunna vara möjligt genom att imitera insynshandel i den Svenska large-cap bank sektorn. Sektorn består av Handelsbanken (SHB), Nordea, Swedbank och Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB). Syfte: Är att undersöka om det finns en möjlighet för utomstående att få överavkastningen baserad på insynspersonernas transaktioner. I processen görs ett indirekt test för att se om den Svenska banksektorn uppnår semi-stark effektivitet. Metod: Observera rörelserna på marknaden när information om insynshandel blev allmänt. Resultatet testas för både statistisk och ekonomisk signifikans. Slutsats: Syftet med denna studie var att försöka avgöra huruvida utomstående kunde imitera insynspersonernas transaktioner för att tjäna onormal avkastning i den Svenska banksektorn. Baserat på denna studie verkar detta inte vara möjligt i den totala sektorn. De tecken som indikerade att detta skulle vara möjligt för visade sig vara falskt. Resultatet som visade statistisk skillnad från noll var negativt och därför drogs slutsatsen att insynspersonerna inte kunde förutsäga framtiden särskilt väl. Detta leder till slutsatsen att det finns starkare faktorer än insynspersoners transaktioner som avgör framtida aktiekurser. Eftersom insynspersoner inte kunde förutse de framtida aktiekurserna, skulle varje försök från en utomstående att försöka utnyttja detta inte vara fördelaktigt. Detta resulterade i fenomenet av under- och överreaktioner som BF förespråkade, inte förekom i denna studie. Istället visade resultatet sig vara i linje med EMH beskrivningen av semi-starka marknader.

Full textAbstract:
When one thinks of motor vehicle accident damage repairs, one often thinks of unscrupulous operators and a scurrilous industry. While this is regrettably often the case, there is a counterpoint, being the significant number of motor body repair firms that have invested significant sums in establishing accredited and certified motor body repair outlets, and who offer a premium service. The industry is one that is regulated by the South African Motor Body Repair Association, a body that seeks to dictate a standard of repairs by dictating membership eligibility relative to investment in equipment. Most unfortunately, this stipulation does not adequately take into account the flow of work that there may be from the motor vehicle insurance industry, and many repairers find themselves having to resort to nefarious means to ensure that business comes their way. The author of this report is a co-owner of an advanced major structural motor body repairer. Rather than stooping to unethical practices, the owners have sought to undertake a position appraisal and gap analysis with the intention of uncovering the strategic alternatives available to their firm.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>東吳大學<br>法律學系<br>100<br>Since the S.E.C.’s determination in the famous case “In re Cady Roberts & Co” in 1961, people has been searching for theories explaining Section 10(b) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. Three different theories, The Fair Access to Information Theory, Fiduciary Theory and Misappropriation Theory, are developed to it. However, because of the abstract language used in the articles, each theory has some inevitable defectives and limits in its application. Outsider trading on market information demonstrates it well.
The Fair Access to Information Theory has been proved that with too broad prohibition it neither does good to market efficiency. Outsiders owe no duty of loyalty to the company which whose shares are traded, and they are not tipped by some others. The Fiduciary Theory and the Misappropriation Theory provide few helps in banning it.
This thesis argues that outsider trading on market information has the same effects in economics as insider trading does. The high transaction costs make it impossible for people to negotiate a contract utilizing resources in the most efficient way by “contracts”. We should have a mandatory rule as a “property right” to ban it.
Due to the failure of the three traditional theories on insider trading, this thesis argues that another theory with insights form the Law and Economics Analyses, the Property Rights Theory. It was proposed by a famous American scholar, Stephen M. Bainbridge. He believes that people misappropriating the property rights causes “deception” in Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5. Outsiders trading on market information misappropriate the property rights, and should be banned under Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5.
However, not all instances in outsider trading on market information harm market efficiency in the same degree. Those seeking to merger or acquire another company by purchasing shares of the target in the markets is a kind of outsider trading that does not necessarily have negative impacts on market efficiency. This thesis identifies the positive impacts of mergers and acquisitions and search for the legal bases which allow outsiders trading on market information in such circumstance. This thesis finds that the Section 13(d) of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act provides the
answer. It affirms that the acquiring company has no obligation to disclose it in 10 days after purchasing 5 % shares of the target company, which is known as “10-day window”. That also implies that in situation, outsiders trading on market information would not be considered as a “deception” and shot by the insider trading regulation in 10 days after purchasing 5% shares of the target.
Although the expe rience above is in the Unites States of America, we can also find the same patterns in Taiwanese law because the legislative history. This thesis argues that even the main article of prohibiting people from insider trading in Taiwan, the Section 157-1 I of Securities and Exchange Act, does little in banning outsiders trading on market information, we can also do it with the Section 20 I, the general article in the codes, and the Property Rights Theory proposed by Stephen M. Bainbridge. The Section 43-1 I of Taiwanese Securities Exchange Act also copied the institutions from the Section 13(d) in the 1934 Securities Exchange Act in the United States of America. The only difference is that it requires people to disclose in 10 days after purchasing 10%.
Except the “10 day window” situation, outsiders should be prohibited from trading on market information due to the negative impacts on market efficiency and with proper exercise, we can find articles both in the United States of America and Taiwan dealing properly with it.

Vojče, Barbora. "Labour market reforms in Spain and its impact on labour market flexibility." Master's thesis, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-191141.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the labour market reforms in Spain that were adopted in order to increase the labour market flexibility and decrease the extraordinarily high unemployment persisting in Spain over decades. The thesis focuses especially on the latest labour market reform adopted in February 2012, which is considered the most impactful one, especially regarding dismissals and their cost. After introducing the main characteristics of the Spanish labour market including, among others the historical circumstances that have led to the current situation, an analysis of several labour market indicators is performed, aiming to find out whether the objectives of the 2012 reform were fulfilled or not. Furthermore, the thesis investigates the performance of the German Hartz reforms adopted in 2003-2005 and attempts to quantify the cost of potential application of their measures on the current Spanish labour market situation. This provides a valuable insight useful for the proposal of recommendations to improve the Spanish labour market.

Astourian, Laure Maude. "Outside the Metropolitan Frame: The Nouvelle Vague and the Foreign, 1954-1968." Thesis, 2016. https://doi.org/10.7916/D80P101R.
Full textAbstract:
In Outside the Metropolitan Frame: The Nouvelle Vague and the Foreign, 1954-1968 I examine the significance of the Nouvelle Vague directors’ engagement with the world beyond metropolitan France, through formal analyses of seminal films by Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and Jean Rouch, as well as close readings of archival documents pertaining to their promotion and reception. I contend that the directors of the Nouvelle Vague were concerned with the shifts in national, transnational and colonial dynamics that marked their era. I demonstrate that their texts and films are structured by a dialectical relationship between a gaze turned outwards onto the world beyond metropolitan France, and a gaze turned inwards, onto the French. In my first three chapters, I inscribe the Nouvelle Vague in a cultural longue durée by examining its formal and thematic continuities with the tradition of French ethnography; the inter-war artistic movement, Surrealism; and the cinéma vérité documentary tradition of the early 1960s. I illustrate that the films of the Nouvelle Vague were fundamentally shaped by their directors’ engagement with the decolonization of the French empire. In my final chapter, I reexamine the most conspicuous example of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, American cinema, in light of my preceding demonstrations. I determine that there are two levels of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, and that the influence of American cinema was above all textual and superficial, whereas a grappling with the end of the French empire was, though far less conspicuous, fundamental to the form of the Nouvelle Vague films themselves.

Full textAbstract:
The labour market is disproportionately tormented by unemployment and economic downturns, since it is segmented into "insiders" which enjoy job protection and "outsiders" which do not to the same extent. The study of this dissertation follows the line of labour market segmentation and tries to understand if modifications to Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) since 2008 have altered the position of insiders and outsiders in the labour market of 26 countries under Excessive Deficit Procedures by the European Union. The question is: Have EPL policies favoured insiders or outsiders, or has EPL been reduced on both ends, in turn worsening protection on all forms of employment? By retrieving extensive data on 353 policies implemented in the field over the past 9 years, through the use of detailed LABREF database, the reforms were analysed if they enacted an increase “in favour” of insiders or outsiders protection or “against” such increase. This dissertation exposes if said reforms in each country have weakened or strengthen security for the two segments, as well as, discusses the changing role that HRM will have resulting from the modifications in EPL. It also shows that most changes in EPL were triggered in the years of highest recession and how some countries made most changes to their EPL due to the pressure from external intervention. It begins by giving a theoretical framework around the economic insider-outsider theory, EPL and the discussion around liberalization. Later interprets the findings and finally, debates results.<br>O mercado de trabalho é desproporcionalmente atormentado pelo desemprego e pelas recessões econômicas, pois, é segmentado em "insiders" que beneficiam de proteção no emprego e "outsiders" que não beneficiam da mesma forma. Esta dissertação segue a linha de segmentação do mercado de trabalho e tenta entender se as alterações à Legislação de Proteção ao Emprego (LPE) desde 2008 alteraram a posição “insiders” ou “outsiders” no mercado de trabalho de 26 países sob Procedimentos de Déficit Excessivo pela União Europeia. União. A questão é: as políticas da LPE favoreceram “insiders” ou “outsiders”, ou a EPL foi reduzida em ambos os lados, o que, agravou a proteção em todas as formas de emprego? Obtendo dados sobre 353 políticas implementadas no campo nos últimos 9 anos, através do uso detalhado do banco de dados LABREF, as reformas foram analisadas se consistiram num aumento “a favor” da proteção de “insiders” ou “outsiders” ou se foram em “contra” tal aumento. Esta dissertação expõe se as referidas reformas em cada país enfraqueceram ou fortaleceram a proteção dos dois segmentos e discute o papel que GRH terá como resultado das modificações no EPL. Mostra que a maioria das mudanças no EPL foi desencadeada nos anos de mais alta recessão e como alguns países fizeram as mudanças em seu EPL devido à pressão da intervenção externa. Começa por dar um quadro teórico em torno da teoria económica de insider-outsider, da LPE e da discussão em torno da liberalização. Depois interpreta os resultados e, finalmente, debate os efeitos destes.

Entre o fascínio e a rejeição, poucos movimentos artísticos têm uma viagem tão

A sua inserção e crescente importância no mercado de arte envolve novos dados, novas
perceções e novas condições que contribuem para o enriquecimento do movimento,
