This dissertation examines the role of asset prices to act as a transmission and amplification mechanism. Specifically, it looks at how changes in asset prices can help transmit and amplify technology shocks through the credit channel by changing the supply of loanable funds, or changing the supply of deposits, or both. Using a modified version of the Kiyotaki-Moore credit cycles model with concave utility and decreasing returns to scale production function, the dissertation illustrates that asset prices can as a credible amplification and transmission mechanism. Using concave utility and decreasing returns to scale production function allows the incorporation risk aversion into the credit cycles model. The model can help explain the gap between observed magnitude of shocks, and the corresponding changes in economic activity. The behavior of a heterogeneous agent economy in response to a technology shock is simulated using computer programs. The simulations show that a one percent technology shock translates into a more than four percent change in capital held by the constrained agents by moving capital from one agent type to the other. This moves the economy away from a first-best equilibrium. If the technology shock is positive there is an increased demand of capital from the more productive agents, and thus a more than proportionate increase in output. If the technology shock is negative, the opposite path is followed, and economic activity falls more than proportionately. There are credit constraints built into the model. Agents' access to credit is determined by the value of collateral on oer, which in turn depends on asset prices. Technology shocks change demand for assets, their prices, their value as collateral, and hence agents' access to credit. Further, since prices are forward looking, a shock in one period propagates through time. These simulations show that the effects of the shock can be felt up to 13 periods after it has hit. An event analysis with housing price data from 18 countries spanning a period of more than four decades is also performed. It shows that there is strong co-movement of housing prices and economic activity. In particular, larger changes in housing prices have been accompanied by qualitatively similar changes in economic activity. The period leading up to the peak of a real estate cycle is accompanied by a more than proportionate increase in private sector lending, and once the peak has been crested, there is a more than proportionate fall in nominal private sector lending. This evidence is in sync with the earlier observation that changes in asset prices influence agents' access to credit and contribute to the persistence of the effects of the shock far into the future. Further, the preferred measure of economic health, the rate of inflation, sees no measurable change in periods leading up to a real estate peak, and beyond. This throws up the need for some other measure of economic health that is better able to capture the events in asset markets. Policy makers have been paying more attention to this channel in the aftermath of the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the United States. There have been multiples changes in regulatory policy across the world, and specific steps are being taken to dampen exuberance in the real estate market. Only time can tell if these measures turn out to be effective, but at least a step has been taken towards realizing that housing market can lead to a wider economic and banking crisis.

Full textFrom the theoretical perspective it is important to mention that, first of all, the scientific nature of the foreign economic activity means the development of this activity in accordance with objective economic laws. Practically according to this principle, management of international business transactions involves the organization of demand and supply of its products abroad, the price level, and the ratio to costs in the exporting country. One of the main problems of management of foreign economic activity is miscalculations - the knowledge of managers of enterprises of existing theories of international trade helps them to avoid a significant part of miscalculations, and additionally, it helps reasonably predict changes in international markets. We can, also, mention that this principle is especially important in the implementation of international financial calculations, which must be based on changes in exchange rates.
З теоретичної точки зору важливо відзначити, що, перш за все, науковий характер зовнішньоекономічної діяльності означає розвиток цієї діяльності відповідно до об'єктивних економічних законів. Практично відповідно до цього принципу управління міжнародними діловими операціями передбачає організацію попиту і пропозиції своєї продукції за кордоном, рівня цін і співвідношення до витрат в країні-експортері. Однією з головних проблем управління зовнішньоекономічною діяльністю є прорахунки-знання керівниками підприємств існуючих теорій міжнародної торгівлі допомагає їм уникнути значної частини прорахунків, а також, крім того, допомагає обґрунтовано прогнозувати зміни на міжнародних ринках. Ми також можемо відзначити, що цей принцип особливо важливий при здійсненні міжнародних фінансових розрахунків, які повинні ґрунтуватися на змінах валютних курсів.

Full textThis thesis studies how heterogeneity in the quality of local public goods may influence the geography of economic activity, through the study of two mechanisms generating such heterogeneity. In the first two chapters, the local public good I study is technological knowledge. The analysis is rooted in a vast body of literature showing that knowledge flows exhibit a strong spatial bias. The first chapter studies the dynamics of link formation between innovators, and their link with the aggregate effect of distance on knowledge flows. The analysis shows that innovators learn about new knowledge gradually, using the contacts of their own contacts. Inserting this fact in a network formation model yields predictions about the size of innovators and a relation between size and the distance of citations, which are met in the data. The second chapter takes these local innovation networks as given, and investigates how they influence firms’ location choices through their decisions to relocate R&D labs. I show that innovative firms are more mobile than the average firm, and that denser innovation networks attract them while a poor position in their local network makes them more likely to leave. I then study theoretically the problem faced by firms able to relocate their R&D labs with limited information about the other locations.The third chapter studies a different problem in which a local public good provided by the public sector is spatially heterogeneous, due to wages set centrally. It shows that public sector workers exert positive spillovers on private sector workers, implying that heterogeneous levels of public good provision distort the geography of private sector activity

The increase in commodity prices that has taken place in the past decade or so has resulted in renewed interest in the debate about the macroeconomic consequences of such price increase. Previous studies tend to assume that all commodity price shocks are alike and advocate a “one size fit all” policy response by monetary authorities, either by means of contractionary monetary policy to alleviate inflationary pressures or doing nothing, since these shocks are believed to have insignificant economic impact. This dissertation analyses the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices on the South African economy. The first chapter studies the impact of shocks to prices of four commodities on monetary policy variables. Results show that shocks to different commodity prices have different effects on the monetary policy variables, hence rejecting the “one size fits all” policy response by monetary authorities, as some researchers have suggested. Chapter two investigates the sectorial effects of commodity price shocks. The Dutch Disease hypothesis suggests that a boom in the natural resource sector shrinks the manufacturing sector through crowding out and appreciation of the real exchange rate. South Africa is a major exporter of a large number of commodities. Using a structural VAR framework this chapter analyzes the impact of shocks to different commodity prices on the production and employment levels in the manufacturing and mining sectors in South Africa. The results show that the commodity price boom has had a positive impact on both sectors, hence the manufacturing sector did not experience signs of the Dutch disease. Chapter three examines the volatility transmission between commodity prices and nominal exchange rate in South Africa. This chapter uses conditional and realized volatility models to estimate volatility in exchange rate, gold, platinum, oil, palladium and silver prices and then employs Granger-causality, Impulse Response analysis, Variance Decomposition and Ordinary Least Squares to analyze the volatility transmission from the commodity prices to the nominal exchange rate. The results show that there is volatility transmission from commodity prices to the nominal exchange rate, hence knowing the volatility in commodity prices would improve investor’s ability to manage risk in South Africa.

Full textHacktivist activity is becoming increasingly prominent within the cyber domain and society. The boundaries between cyber terrorism and hacktivism are becoming more unclear. Hackers are becoming more skilled and involved in socio-political matters, not only in the U.S. but also internationally. Terrorist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have found a venue to voice their ideals and recruit via social media. Furthermore, terrorist groups have partnerships with hacktivist groups such as Cyber Caliphates. This practice has pointed particular inclinations that characterize different hacker groups with different events. For this reason, computer security has become a matter of national security in the U.S. and research regarding political and socio-economic trends as stimuli for the increment on hacktivist activity must be conducted. This research explored the issue of profiling hacktivist groups, departing from the analysis of the hacker’s motivation as a product of a political and socio-economic environment. As comparative angles of analysis, the literature exposed empirical and factual information that integrated U.S. and international hacktivist events. The final research analysis proposed that U.S. political and socio-economic trends promoted hacktivist activity. Moreover, the research exposed that the existent relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli with political and socio-economical stressors (i.e., misrepresentation, restriction of freedoms, frustration and aggression) promotes hackers to act as hacktivists.

Esta tese de doutorado compreende tr?s ensaios que abordam quest?es pouco exploradas pela literatura de economia regional no Brasil. No primeiro artigo ? analisada a import?ncia do tamanho das empresas para o crescimento econ?mico das 558 micro-regi?es brasileiras de 1999 a 2009. Estima??es de dados em painel com efeitos fixos (FE) e uma an?lise econom?trica espacial considerando depend?ncia espacial e heterogeneidade espacial foram usadas. As estimativas para o Brasil como um todo mostram que a presen?a de grandes empresas no setor industrial contribuiu positivamente para o crescimento econ?mico das microrregi?es, enquanto que as pequenas empresas apresentaram uma rela??o negativa com o crescimento econ?mico. A presen?a de heterogeneidade espacial na amostra ? caracterizada por dois clusters espaciais diferentes com rela??o ? renda per capita. A an?lise de cada cluster espacial mostra que a rela??o entre tamanho da empresa e crescimento econ?mico nas regi?es mais ricas permanece a mesma, enquanto nas regi?es de menor PIB per capita, o tamanho das empresas n?o influencia o crescimento econ?mico. O segundo artigo utiliza an?lise econom?trica espacial para investigar qual a rela??o entre o tamanho das empresas e os indicadores de desenvolvimento econ?mico dos munic?pios brasileiros de 2000 a 2010. A investiga??o ? motivada pela quantidade de recursos e esfor?os que os governos dedicam a pol?ticas que atraem grandes empresas e apoiam pequenas empresas locais. Os modelos estimados apresentam diferentes resultados entre setores e indicadores de desenvolvimento. O sinal encontrado para a rela??o entre o crescimento do emprego e o tamanho da empresa depende dos setores considerados. Assim, os resultados recomendam uma aten??o especial por parte dos formuladores de pol?ticas p?blicas na elabora??o das suas estrat?gias de desenvolvimento local. No terceiro artigo ? analisado o padr?o de localiza??o do emprego ocupacional no Brasil em 2010, bem como ? testada a hip?tese de especializa??o funcional em fun??o do tamanho dos munic?pios do Brasil e se esta varia de acordo com setor industrial analisado. Os resultados encontrados mostram que existe significativa heterogeneidade espacial na distribui??o das ocupa??es dentro do setor industrial nos munic?pios brasileiros. Tamb?m se confirma a hip?tese de especializa??o funcional em fun??o do tamanho das cidades e a import?ncia de se analisar cada setor separadamente, pois nem todos os setores apresentaram o mesmo padr?o de especializa??o funcional. Esses resultados fornecem informa??es que auxiliam na compreens?o da estrutura setorial e ocupacional das economias regionais, fatores estes que influenciam diretamente o crescimento e desenvolvimento regional.
This dissertation comprises three essays aimed at addressing issues little explored by regional economics literature in Brazil. In the first paper, there is an analysis of the importance of the size of companies for the economic growth of the 558 Brazilian micro-regions from 1999 to 2009. Panel data estimations with fixed effects (FE) and a spatial econometric analysis considering spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity were used. Estimates show that the presence of large companies in the industrial sector has contributed positively to the economic growth of micro-regions, whereas small businesses presented a negative relation to economic growth. The presence of spatial heterogeneity in the sample is characterized by two different spatial clusters regarding per capita income. The analysis of each spatial cluster separately points out that the relation between company size and economic growth in the richest regions remains the same, while in the regions of lower GDP per capita, the size of companies does not influence economic growth. The second paper uses spatial econometric analysis to investigate the relation between size of companies and economic development indicators of Brazilian municipalities from 2000 to 2010. The investigation is motivated by the amount of resources and effort that governments dedicate to policies attracting and supporting local business. The estimated models present dissimilar findings across sectors and development indicators. For instance, the sign of the relationship between employment growth and company size depends on the sectors considered. Thus, the results recommend special attention on the part of policy makers in formulating their local development strategies. In the third paper there is an analysis of the location pattern of occupational employment in Brazil in 2010, as well as a test of the hypothesis of functional specialization according to the size of Brazilian municipalities and if this specialization changes according to the industrial sector. The results show that there is significant spatial heterogeneity in the distribution of occupations in the industrial sector in Brazilian municipalities. In addition, the hypothesis of functional specialization in function of the size of the cities and the importance to analyze each sector separately was confirmed. As not all sectors present the same pattern of functional specialization, especially for occupations related to management and R&D activities. These results provide additional information to understand sectoral and occupational structure of regional economies, factors that have a direct influence in the regional growth and development.

Full textConcretely, we consider nine different gases. On one hand, the six greenhouse gases regulated by Kyoto protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and perfluorocarbons (PFCs). And, on the other hand, three gases related to local environmental problems such as acidification and eutrophication: sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ammonia (NH3).
The study is structured in four self-contained essays that examine the relation between the economic activity and emissions in Spain from different perspectives. After an introductory chapter, in Chapter 2 we describe the methodology and the database used in other chapters. First, we present the basis of the input-output analysis emphasising those characteristics that make it a suitable approach to study the interdependences between the economy and the environment. Then, we describe the database and the procedure required to obtain an environmentally extended input-output table for Spain. We apply the environmentally extended input-output model presented in this chapter to describe the Spanish situation regarding atmospheric pollution in 1995 and 2000. In Chapter 3, we examine the contribution of the driving forces of the evolution of emissions in Spain from 1995 to 2000. For doing so, we decompose the change in emissions into the three main 'sources'. First, shifts in total intensity emission matrix (the eco-technological effect); second, changes in the composition of final uses (the structure effect); and third, changes in the level of final uses (the level effect). We quantify the effects of these three determinants performing a structural decomposition analysis. Chapter 4 shows the capacity of input-output analysis to study the relationship between the economic activity and the environment at a micro level.
The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the different impact on atmospheric pollution of different households with different 'economic position'. We calculate total (direct and indirect) emissions generated by private consumption of Spanish households classified by quintiles of expenditure in the year 2000. In Chapter 5 we estimate the emissions embodied in Spanish international trade. By applying a multiregional input-output model we define and compare two approaches: the responsibility emission balance and the trade emission balance. We evaluate the international responsibility of Spain in 1995 and 2000. Finally, Chapter 6 summarises the conclusions of this study.
El propósito de esta tesis es el de analizar algunos de los factores que determinan las interdependencias existentes entre la economía y el medio ambiente. Aunque la actividad económica afecta al medio ambiente de forma muy diversa, el objeto de estudio de este trabajo está centrado en el análisis de un único problema medio ambiental: la contaminación atmosférica. Concretamente se consideran nueve gases diferentes. Por un lado los seis gases de efecto invernadero regulados por el protocolo de Kioto: dióxido de carbono (CO2), metano (CH4), óxido nitroso (N2O), hexafluoruro de azufre (SF6), hidrofluorocarbonos (HFCs), y perfluorocarbonos (PFCs). Y por otro lado, tres gases relacionados con problemas medioambientales de carácter más local y/o regional como son la acidificación y la eutrofización: óxidos de azufre (SOx), óxidos de nitrógeno (NOx), y amoniaco (NH3).

Full textThe object of study of the master's thesis is the mechanism of functioning of offshore zones, the subject - financial relations that arise in the process of financial and economic activities of offshore zones and their impact on the economy. The methodological basis of the work is a systematic approach and a dialectical method. In addition, the methods of unity of historical and logical, comparative analysis, induction and deduction, as well as positive and normative approaches were used in the work. Results: the essence of the concept and history of offshore zones development is considered, the specifics of separate offshore zones and their characteristics and specialization are studied, advantages of doing business in offshore zones are allocated, the problems connected with capital migration to offshore zones are opened, problems of offshorization and deoffshorization of domestic business. The theoretical significance of the master's thesis is to justify the need to regulate national legislation on the deoffshorization of business in the country. The practical significance of the work lies in the generalization and systematization of a large array of statistical data, recommendations and proposals of scientists, specialists dealing with the problem of offshorization and deoffshorization in modern conditions. In the near future, the role of offshore zones in the world economy will weaken as more countries join the organization to combat further offshorization of business through various agreements.
