Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine country-level parallels of the stock-level anomalies related to quality, i.e. profitability, leverage, liquidity, accruals, payout and turnover. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses sorting and cross-sectional tests within a sample of 77 countries over the period of 1999-2014. Findings – Markets populated with low-leveraged and cash-rich companies significantly outperform highly leveraged and cash-poor markets, respectively. The both cross-sectional patterns are stronger across small markets than across large ones. Furthermore, additional sorts on leverage and profitability markedly improve performance of cross-national value strategies. Finally, markets with companies with high-cash holdings earn additional premium in times of tight liquidity conditions. Practical implications – Considering the diminishing benefits of international diversification in recent decades, investors should consider the country-level quality strategies in a strategic asset allocation, and not to postpone them to a later stage of the investment process. Furthermore, investments in cash-rich markets provide a hedge against liquidity distress. Originality/value – The first study to comprehensively examine country-level quality effects across global stock markets.

Abstract:
Modern economy is characterized by rapid qualitative and quantitative changes that significantly affect the nature of economic, socio-economic and social relations. Innovative processes and trends are very specific manifestations, which are reflected in the economic and marketing theory. A greater place in science and practice is occupied by the concepts of new economy, knowledge economy, knowledge society. Therefore, the study of knowledge economy marketing becomes more and more relevant.The paper is aimed to develop a technique for selection of the key parameters for building the model of national knowledge economy marketing.For this purpose, it is proposed to conduct a cluster analysis based on aggregated data. Classification of differences between clusters is given. As a result of classification, the authors have identified a group of indicators, which make all clusters distinctive and, first and foremost, determine positions of countries in the global landscape. These indicators are interpreted as key factors of the knowledge economy.Based on the suggested mathematical functions, the authors assessed the value of every key factor within the selected group. It became the second step in selecting the parameters to build a multifactor model of knowledge economy marketing at the national level. The paper also justifies that it is reasonable to use cognitive approach to address challenges in the sphere under consideration. This approach is able to become a sound basis for building the model of national knowledge economy marketing in the form of cognitive map.

Abstract:
Cross-country labor productivity differences are larger in agriculture than in non-agriculture. We propose a new explanation for these patterns in which the self-selection of heterogeneous workers determines sector productivity. We formalize our theory in a general-equilibrium Roy model in which preferences feature a subsistence food requirement. In the model, subsistence requirements induce workers that are relatively unproductive at agricultural work to nonetheless select into the agriculture sector in poor countries. When parameterized, the model predicts that productivity differences are roughly twice as large in agriculture as non-agriculture even when countries differ by an economy-wide efficiency term that affects both sectors uniformly.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, I first suggest an extension of the managerial rents model and more specifically the managerial skills typology that it offers. Building on research in international business, I propose adding country-specific skills (CSS) to this typology in addition to firm-specific, industry-specific, and generic skills. I define CSS as managers’ abilities that are applicable and specific to a particular national institutional context. Such skills are distinct from the other three types identified and are likely to influence managers’ performance and the performance of their firms. So if CSS are distinct skills, what are the implications for strategy and international business research? In an attempt to respond to this question, I conduct two empirical essays in which I examine the implications of this refinement of the typology of managerial skills for CEO selection and firms’ mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy. In the first empirical essay, I puzzle at the fact that although CSS constitute a barrier to high-level executive mobility across countries, there have been a growing number of foreign-born CEOs being appointed across the globe. Why are these individuals being selected for the post of CEO? Using information on the appointment of foreign-born and national CEOs from 2005 to 2010 among global 500 companies, I show that internationalization pressures help explain their selection and that two types of firms are likely to appoint foreign leaders: highly internationalized firms and firms that are likely to internationalize. In the second empirical essay, I examine the strategic implications of country-specific skills. Employing the same sample as the one used in the first empirical essay, I demonstrate that given that their mindset is likely to be less focused on firms’ home market, foreign-born CEOs may be prone to institute more changes in firms’ cross-border M&A strategy than their domestic counterparts. I also theorize on the moderating influence of CEOs’ insiderness.

Abstract:
The study aimed to explore and describe consumers’ reliance on brands, specifically the Country of Origin (COO) of brands as a heuristic, i.e. the perceived quality of a selected category of interior merchandise and to subsequently explain how COO influences consumers’ quality perceptions and product choices. The study focussed on major household appliances, due to the prominence of brand names and the COO on these products. In other interior merchandise product categories such as furniture and textile products, the brand name and COO is not necessarily that prominent or visible. A survey was conducted in the Tshwane metropolitan, which is a wealthy urban area in South Africa and a key role player in the economic sector. The study was conducted in the context of an emerging economy, where international brands have penetrated the market and made a wider range of products and brands available to the consumer. The data was collected by using convenience sampling methods supplemented by snowball sampling. It involved the self-completion of a structured questionnaire by 450 willing respondents who fit the prerequisite for the study, i.e. males and females, 25 years and older who belong to the middle to upper socio-economic group (earn R5000 or more per month) and who have an education level of grade 12 or higher, regardless of population group. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, as well as exploratory factor analysis, specifically Principal Axis Factoring, using an Oblimin rotation with Kaiser Normalization to determine the underlying factors associated with the quality indicated by brand names and the associations consumers make of brand names and specific product characteristics. Calculations of means, standard deviations, Cronbach’s Alpha, Anova, t-tests and post hoc Sheffe’s tests were calculated where significant differences between demographics were investigated for further interpretation. The study concluded that consumers are relatively brand conscious, men more so than women and that they are brand familiar in terms of various major household appliance brands. Quality as the most important branded product meaning were confirmed, as well as the use of brands as an indicator of performance and functional product attributes, i.e. value for money. Brands are also frequently used, especially by females, as an indicator of the product’s environmental and ethical compliances, but less so to infer its status implications. The study did however confirm younger consumers use brand names to a greater extent to infer social status than older consumers. It also revealed that the Black and other population group use brand names as an indication of status characteristics significantly more than White consumers. Consumers seem to have little knowledge of the COO of brands; they do however have strong stereotypes of Western and Eastern countries as well as South Africa, where Western countries enjoy more positive stereotypes than the others. These stereotypes also seem to strongly influence their overall quality perceptions of major household appliances, especially in terms of durability, performance and prestige. The COO of a brand can therefore have implications for its brand equity and should be addressed in brand management and marketing initiatives.

Full text
Abstract:
The object of this research was to develop an international market screening methodology which selects highly attractive markets, allowing for the ranges in diversity amongst organisations, countries and products. Conventional business thought is that, every two to five years, dynamic organisations which conduct business internationally should decide which additional foreign market or markets to next enter. If they are internationally inexperienced, this will be their first market; if they are experienced, it might be, say, their 100th market. How should each organisation select their next international market? One previous attempt has been made to quantitatively test which decision variables, and what weights, should be used when choosing between the 230 countries of the world. The literature indicate that a well-informed selection decision could consider over 150 variables that measure aspects of each foreign market's economic, political, legal, cultural, technical and physical environments. Additionally, attributes of the organisation have not been considered when selecting the most attractive short-list of markets. The findings presented in the dissertation are that 30 criteria accounted for 95 per cent of variance at cross-classification rates of 95 per cent. The weights of each variable, and the markets selected statistically as being the most attractive, were found to vary with the capabilities, goals and values of the organisation. This frequently means that different countries will be best for different organisations selling the same product. A

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
This Work Project studies the internationalization of non-profit organizations and applies it by developing recommendations for Social Entrepreneurship Institute‟s (IES) first international venture. A model of foreign market selection was used to choose among eight foreign potential markets based on a proximity approach. A market analysis on the selected market was performed to obtain the best decision regarding entry mode. This study concludes that Spain is the market considered to have more proximity with Portugal and therefore less risk for an international expansion. In the case analyzed, a non-equity joint venture is pointed as the safest entry mode.

Abstract:
Global tourism is one of the world's largest industries, employing some 238 million people, generating over 10% of the world GDP, an annual growth rate of 4% and revenues expected to grow to $12 trillion by 2016. This important industry is an intensely competitive marketplace and, most importantly, characterised by an increasing difficulty in achieving differentiation. This, in turn, exacerbates the level of competition and limits viable response strategies. To cope with the increasing dynamism of the industry with particular reference to competitive intensity, fragmentation and differentiation, different augmentations of product/service bundles and strategies have been proffered. Prominently, the utilisation of co-marketing in parallel or in lieu of competition is increasingly prevalent, significant, and successful in product marketing. More recently, and to a lesser extent, it has been applied to domestic tourism marketing. Accordingly, this research is focused on pan country national level tourism collaborations and most specifically on developing a set of indicative selection criteria for country partners which reflect both marketing and organisational considerations and implications. Using a methods triangulation approach and building on theoretic corpus developed from marketing, organisational and behaviour literature, data collection involved the use of both questionnaire and in-depth interview methods. The questionnaire administration' was based on discretionary sample, selected from premier tourism events such as the international tourism trade exhibitions. Analyses of responses provided the basis for a series of subsequent personal interviews with strategic decision makers for national tourism such as tourism industry leaders and Ministers of Tourism of selected countries. On the basis of the intergrative findings from this research, a set of evaluative criteria for collaborative partner selection was developed. This set of criteria provides a template to evaluate potential collaborative partners reflecting both a spectrum of marketing considerations and organisational and behavioural perspectives . The criteria facilitates the design and selection of a co-marketing collaboration which provides a diverse, new and innovative basis for successful differentiation. The research reveals that arguments beyond purely rational decision making have a significant impact on collaborative decisions. Most specifically, political and vestiges of heritage based considerations were significant, prominent and prevalent. Similarly, the perception of which countries are competitors was often based on parochial perspectives. Thus, research substantiates the viability and efficacy of comarketing with the correct partner and its ability to create unique opportunities for marketing differentiations in an increasingly competitive and homogenious market place. However, there are some important caveats. While the benefits of collaboration are both established and significant, ambivalence and constraints based on subjective considerations are prevalent.

Abstract:
This paper examines childbearing among Polish migrant women and their descendants in Sweden. While many studies have focused on immigrants' childbearing in relation to women in the destination country, this study uses a country-of-origin and a country-of-destination approach in order to more thoroughly examine the socialization, selection and adaptation hypotheses. Using a piecewise-exponential model, the transitions to first and second births are analyzed using Swedish register data and the Polish Generations and Gender survey (GGS). The results show that the Polish stayers and the first-generation have relatively similar fertility behavior in the transition to first birth but not in the transition to second birth. However, parts of the similarity in the transition to first birth can be attributed to marital status selection. By examining the 1.5-generation and the second-generation in relation to Swedish natives, it is possible to see fertility convergence across generations, both when it comes to timing and quantum. This study also shows that family migrants have higher risk of having a first child compared to migrants moving for other reasons. However, in the transition to second birth, there is no difference.

Abstract:
International borders are dissolving as a result of globalization, and cross-cultural interactions are becoming a regular part of modern business. Many firms are expanding internationally, necessitating the need to send workers, known as expatriates, abroad. Being able to operate and adjust in a foreign country requires certain skills and traits. Not being able to adjust well in the host country has many times led expatriates to fail their international mission, which negatively affects the expatriate as well as the firm. Previous studies suggest that by selecting and offering a proper cross-cultural training (CCT), expatriates should have an easier time adjusting in the country they move to. Thus, leading to a successful international assignment.  Research on selection and CCTs has predominantly focused on creating frameworks and finding variables that contribute to expatriates’ adjustment. However, there are still unclarities and disagreements regarding the effects of selection and CCT on the expatriates’ in-country adjustment. Therefore, it is important to understand whether expatriates perceive these processes helpful for their adjustment. Moreover, studies that have implemented these frameworks and variables into practicality for Asian or African host countries, thus leaving a gap in Europe and its emerging countries. As such, this study will contribute to this gap to further understand how selection and CCT affect the expatriate’s adjustment in Greece.   A literature is presented with the relevant theories that exist in the field of expatriate selection, cross-cultural training and adjustment, and additionally cultural shock theories. With the aim of collecting data for this study, a qualitative method was approached, where 12 in-depth interviews were conducted on expatriates working in Greece. The interview covered topics of how they perceive their selection process, the CCT they received before their mission and their adjustment in the host country. General findings were that the classical selection and CCT theories and processes are still applicable up to this day. An additional finding to these theories was that the expatriates do not favor CCT processes. Moreover, it was observed that the perceived cultural differences between the home and host country of the expatriate is the main factor that is affected by the selection and CCT. Finally, the researchers suggest further research to be conducted for several factors concerning the in-country adjustment.

Abstract:
AbstractThis introductory chapter by the book editor helps to identify the main aims, objectives, organization, and rationale behind the book. The book also advances the findings of each of the chapters and points, based on the initial findings, to some possible further research venues. Traditionally, gender studies have focused on women, which is logical, but gender studies have since the late 1980s started to pay increasing attention to men’s lives as well. This volume focuses on representations of aging masculinities in contemporary U.S. fiction, and thus investigates a selection of literary texts that place old men at the center of the narrative, analyzing specific depictions of issues such as older men’s health problems, body changes and shifting perceptions of sexual prowess, depression, loneliness and loss, but also greater wisdom and confidence, legacy, changing notions and appraisals of time, new relationships, and affective patterns, among others.

Abstract:
In this paper, a Happiness Index is built with quantitative variables that are defined in the United Nations Development Report (UNDP). This Index is calculated through the terms that Caselles A. proposes in his research “Trying to evaluate the human dignity in a social group” which was presented in 9th Congress of the European Union of Systems (UES-EUS). Valencia (Spain), 2014. There, an exhaustive analysis of the literature has been done to conclude that the supreme value is Human Dignity and a Human Dignity Respect Index has been proposed. In this work, the Happiness Index has been built from the Human Dignity Respect Index. Immediate subordinated values to human dignity are development, freedom and equality. Subordinates to equality are solidarity, justice and peace. The aim of this paper is to obtain the minimum quantitative variables to explain these values as well as to obtain a generic formula, which allows measuring the happiness of a country/region per gender. The term “generic” is introduced because this formula could be extrapolated to any country, nevertheless in this work the index is calculated for a selection of countries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3096

Abstract:
The mobility of university students abroad is a phenomenon of great importance in the context of globalization and internationalization of higher education. Certain factors, such as the image of the institution, the country, the city, the evaluation of the study program, the cost, selection processes and even personal resources can determine the destination country. This article seeks to identify the attraction factors for which Brazilian university students choose Spanish universities to carry out their higher education. An exploratory study of a qualitative nature was conducted, a semi-structured questionnaire applied to twenty-eight Brazilian students of official rank: graduation, master's degree and doctorate. Data analysis was based on the assessment of attraction factors. The results indicate that the language, the tradition of the Spanish universities, the scholarships of the country of origin and the more flexible selection processes are important factors in the decision of these subjects. Spain is an option for many international students and the flow of Brazilian students to this country is significant, the authors also consider that these flows may be much larger in the future.

Abstract:
This document is part of a series of technical notes describing the compilation of a new companion database that complements the World Income Inequality Database (WIID). It aims at facilitating the analysis of inequality as well as progress in achieving the global goal of reducing inequality within and across countries. This new dataset also includes an annual series reporting the income distribution at the percentile level for all citizens in the world, regardless of where they live, from 1950 to the present. This technical note describes the first stage in constructing the first version of the companion datasets: data selection. It provides an overview of the approach followed in the selection of the series from different sources with information on income distribution and inequality that best represent each country and period. It also discusses the general criteria used and their implementation, which are illustrated with a few country examples.

This document is part of a series of technical notes describing the compilation of a new companion database that complements the UNU-WIDER World Income Inequality Database. It aims at facilitating the analysis of inequality as well as progress in achieving the global goal of reducing inequality within and across countries. This new dataset includes an annual series reporting the income distribution at the percentile level for all citizens in the world, regardless of where they live, from 1950 to the present. The global distribution is displayed along with the country-level information used to produce it. The dataset also includes estimates of various global absolute and relative inequality measures, and the income share of key population groups. All estimates are further disaggregated by the contribution of inequalities within and between countries, as well as by each country’s geographical region and income group. While previous technical notes described the selection of country income distribution series and the integration and standardization process to overcome the heterogeneity in original welfare concepts and other methods, I here describe all the necessary additional steps and assumptions made to construct the new global dataset.

Abstract:
This document is part of a series of technical notes describing the compilation of a new companion database that complements the World Income Inequality Database. It aims at facilitating the analysis of inequality as well as progress in achieving the global goal of reducing inequality within and across countries. This new dataset also includes an annual series reporting the income distribution at the percentile level for all citizens in the world, regardless of where they live, since 1950 to present. A previous note described the selection of income distribution series. Since these series may differ across welfare concepts and other methods used, this technical note describes the second stage, constructing integrated and standardized country series. It discusses all the necessary adjustments conducted to construct the final series for each country, with consistent estimates of the distribution of net income per capita over the entire period for which information is available. This is mainly divided into two stages. First, integrating country series by interlinking series that overlap over time, then using a more general regression-based approach.

Abstract:
Each year, our country’s most selective four-year institutions invest significant resources to recruit talented high school students from across the country. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, admissions representatives traveled far and wide to convince these prospective students that the academic rigor, amenities, and opportunities at their institution are unparalleled. These students, mostly affluent and white, contemplate admission offers and consider moves to new locales to pursue their postsecondary plans. Yet, many of these selective institutions are overlooking a talented and diverse pool of students in their own backyard: transfer students from local community colleges.

Full text
Abstract:
We herein discuss how college major choice affects gender wage gaps by highlighting the role that STEM majors play in explaining the gender wage gap in a developing country. We focus on a Latin American country where a systematic analysis of the interaction between students choice of college major and the gender wage gap is currently lacking. We take advantage of a very unique dataset of college students from the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), Brazil, to decompose the raw gender gap in hourly wages into one component that can be explained by differences in endowments between men and women as well as a second or residual component that reflects gender differences in the prices of market skills. We implement the commonly applied decomposition approach at the wage distributions mean and a decomposition procedure that considers variations across the wage distribution. Our results reveal that the majors that women and men select explain 50% of the gender wage gap at the mean, and STEM majors contribute to 30% of this difference. When examining different percentiles of the wage distribution, we find that the selection of a major is more important at the middle of the distribution than at the bottom or top.

Abstract:
This report presents results of a study investigating the groundwater laws and regulations of thirteen U.S. states. The report is actually the second edition of the study following amendments made to the first edition in response to extensive feedback and reviews solicited from practitioners, academics, and other professionals working in the field of water law from across the country. The purpose of the project is to compile and present the groundwater laws and regulations of every state in the United States that could then be used in a series of comparisons of groundwater governance principles, strategies, issues, and challenges. Professor Gabriel Eckstein at Texas A&M University School of Law and Professor Amy Hardberger at Saint Mary’s University Law School developed a matrix to ascertain chief components and characteristics of the groundwater legal regime of each state. Student researchers then used the matrix to respond to a standardized set of questions about the groundwater laws and regulations of a selection of states. In the near future, additional volumes with surveys of other U.S. states will be issued.
