Abstract:
Competition and intellectual property rights (IPRs) are both necessary for a market to work efficiently and to promote consumer welfare. The tension between them is only apparent. Properly applied, intellectual property rules define a legal framework which allows undertakings to profit from their inventions. This in turn encourages competition among firms and enhances dynamic efficiency, to the benefit of consumer welfare. From this perspective, IPRs and competition generate a fruitful symbiosis. Standard setting represents one of the fields where the interaction between competition law and IPRs clearly comes to light. The collaborative goal of standard setting organizations (SSOs) is to adopt and promote standards that either do not conflict with anyone’s right or, if they do, are developed under condition that patents are licensed under defined terms. On the one hand, patents are important to promote innovation, as they confer exclusive rights to the inventors. On the other, standards are paramount for enhancing the interoperability of products, expanding network externalities, and facilitating the dissemination of knowledge. Conflicts between IP and competition laws may arise in case IPRs owners in standardization contexts overexploit the rights they have been granted. This may lead to the hold-up problem, which represents both a private and public concern. How to strike, then, the optimal balance between IPRs and industry standards? By answering the question, this work aims at filling a gap in the academic literature, which does not appear so far to have attempted an in-depth assessment of the right equilibrium between investment incentives and competition goals in standard setting. Any abuse of market power may harm significantly consumer well-being. At the same time, any form of control of market power should preserve the incentives of firms to invest in the market. The crucial aim, hence, is to define the optimal balance in order to avoid risks of significant losses in consumer and societal welfare.

Abstract:
Trata-se de pesquisa empírica cujo objeto são os indicadores do Índice Paulista de Responsabilidade Social (IPRS). À luz deste índice, se analisa educação e desenvolvimento nos municípios do noroeste paulista, buscando compreender que fatores levam aos bons resultados nos indicadores de escolaridade, obtidos por um grupo de municípios com baixos níveis de riqueza, denominados de grupo 3 do IPRS. O trabalho busca, por meio de um olhar crítico da composição das variáveis do IPRS, analisar a capacidade destas expressarem a realidade do ambiente educacional dos municípios e, ao mesmo tempo, serem úteis na definição de políticas visando fortalecer as dinâmicas de desenvolvimento dos mesmos. Com isso objetiva contribuir com o debate sobre a formulação de indicadores educacionais mais adequados à análise do desenvolvimento na atualidade. Parte-se da constatação da relevância da educação nas atuais dinâmicas de desenvolvimento, não mais compreendido como sinônimo de crescimento econômico, ressaltando a inclusão da dimensão educacional nos instrumentos de mensuração do desenvolvimento humano. São discutidos os conceitos de desenvolvimento como liberdade e de capital social como parâmetros para se compreender o surgimento de uma nova geração de indicadores de desenvolvimento dentre os quais o índice paulista. Estes conceitos são abordados com base nas referências teóricas fornecidas por Sen, Putnam, Bourdieu e Coleman, objetivando analisar a capacidade do IPRS em incorporar estes conceitos nas suas dimensões. Paralelamente a isso se apresenta e analisa os indicadores do IPRS no estado de São Paulo e nos municípios da região noroeste, buscando compreender o que leva a emergência de um grupo expressivo de municípios pobres em termos de riqueza mas com indicadores sociais satisfatórios. Para tanto são utilizados os dados secundários do banco de dados do IPRS da Fundação Seade. Com isso se constata dois aspectos: a relevância da dimensão escolaridade nos bons resultados sociais obtidos por estes municípios e a insuficiência dos indicadores educacionais do índice paulista, especialmente no que se refere a incorporar outras variáveis quantitativas relacionadas ao ambiente educacional disponível quanto variáveis referentes à qualidade dos processos educativos desenvolvidos. As seguintes considerações finais são apresentadas: o IPRS é um indicador que avança na sua estruturação e capacidade de retratar a realidade do desenvolvimento dos municípios, fugindo da padronização dos indicadores sintéticos, contudo, ainda apresenta limitações no que tange a capacidade de analisar o ambiente educacional e a qualidade da educação ofertada e, conseqüentemente, contribuir de maneira efetiva como instrumento de monitoramento e avaliação das políticas que visam fortalecer as dinâmicas de desenvolvimento dos municípios paulistas.
The following study is an empirical research, having as its object the indicators of the Índice Paulista de Responsabilidade Social (São Paulo Index of Social Responsibility, here referred as IPRS). Having this Index as reference, we analyze education and development of the cities located in the Northwest of São Paulo State, aiming to understand which factors lead to the good results in schooling indicators obtained by a group of low income cities, rated in group 3 in the IPRS. The study?s purpose is to analyze (through a detailed and critical look at the variables that compose the IPRS) its capacity of expressing the reality of the educational environment in the cities as well as being useful in the definition of policies that would aim to strengthen its development actions. Considering this, we intend to contribute to the debate on the creation of educational indicators that would be more adequate to the analysis of development nowadays. We take as a premise the relevance of education in the current development actions, not seen as a synonym to economical growth anymore, stressing the inclusion of the educational dimension in the measuring instruments of human development. We address the concepts of development seen as freedom and social capital as a guideline to understand the advent of a new generation of development indicators among which is the São Paulo index. These concepts are approached based on the references of theories given by Sen, Putnam, Bourdieu and Coleman, purposing to analyze the capacity of IPRS to encompass all these concepts within its boundaries. Concurrently, we present and examine the IPRS indicators in São Paulo State and in the cities of the Northwestern region, attempting to understand what leads to the appearance of an expressive number of low income cities with satisfactory social indicators. In order to do that we use the secondary data of the IPRS database from Fundação Seade. Considering this, two aspects are evidenced: the relevance of the schooling dimension in the good social results obtained by these cities and the inadequacy of the educational indicators in the São Paulo index, especially in taking into consideration other quantitative variables related to the educational environment available and to the quality of the educational processes developed. The following final points are then presented: the IPRS is an indicator that moves towards to its organization and capacity of depicting the reality of the cities development, distancing itself from the standardization of synthetic indicators, though still presenting some limitation regarding the ability to analyze the educational environment and the education quality offered, and thus effectively collaborate as an instrument of monitoring and assessment of the policies that aim the strengthening of the development actions for São Paulo cities.

Abstract:
In my thesis, I will explain the concept of IP and the difference of protection between East and West, focusing on the existing casuistry on the matter, through the analysis of data concerning IP litigations and applications in China and in Europe. The topic is relevant because IPRs are, possibly, the most valuable asset for a business, as they can be financially exploited. Therefore, it is critical for a business to be aware of the different forms of IP and protection. My work will focus on the analysis of data collected form international databases such as World Intellectual Property Office and European Intellectual Property Office, together with data coming from some of the reports of the Supreme Court of the People’s Republic of China. To be more specific, the first chapter of my thesis will outline the concepts of IP, IPRs and their protection, based on the international academic literature. I will define the main types of IPRs and their main features, in order to provide a general framework which will be useful for the following part of my work. In the second chapter, I will provide an explanation on the differences of IPRs enforcement by using and interpreting the data I collected during my research, which will also provide evidence of the increasing importance of IPRs. This will help to outline the main differences in protection and enforcement of IPRs between China and the rest of the world. The third chapter will provide an analysis and a comparison of the data collected during the research. I will use data from both European and Chinese databases, mostly focusing on the Chinese evidence. In the conclusion, I will sum up all the data and evidence as to make sense of the research that I conduced and to give a concrete meaning to the content of this final elaborate.

Abstract:
The principal purpose of this study is to provide a refined empirical investigation concerning country-specific determinants of horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade (IIT,) in relation to South Africa using the gravity model of trade in a panel data setting. Prior to investigating the case of South Africa's intra-industry trade a critical review of the relevant theoretical, methodologcal, and empirical literature is provided. The study operationalises the theoretical dstinction between horizontal and vertical IIT using the latest methodology of decomposing total IIT into horizontal intra-industry trade (HIIq and vertical intra-industry trade (WIT,). Thts study makes several advances on earlier empirical studies of intra-industry trade determinants. These include the introduction of new countq-specific determinants of intraindustry trade that previous studies have not examined. Furthermore, it is the first empirical study that traces the relationshp between intra-industry trade flows and intellectual property rights (IPRs). Moreover, to ensure the sensitivity and robustness of the results, several econometric approaches have been used in estimating the gravity model of South Africa's intra-industry trade: the consistent coefficient approach, the fixed effects approach, the random effects approach, and the between effects approach. The econometric results are generally satisfactory in terms of economic interpretation and statistical significance and thus offer new empirical validation to the theoretical explanatory variables. The key findngs suggest the following: the volume of South Africa's IIT has increased during the study period and its WIT exceeds its HIIT. The latter result reflects the nature of South Africa's trade as it imports high valued added products and exports primary and mineral products. South Africa's intra-industry trade and its two components are positively related to market size and standard of living, and negatively related to geographcal distance. Furthermore, separately, the IPRs and the imitation ability of South Africa's tradmg partners are not important factors in determining IIT flows; however, the interaction between them is an important factor. Thts study also reveals South Africa should pursue its intra-industry trade with rest of world concentrating on local industries that produce most competitive varieties, absorbing labor and other resources from the production of other varieties.

Abstract:
A evolução das estruturas de apoio social levou a que as IPSS passassem a assumir um papel crucial no seio da sociedade portuguesa atual. Este trabalho de projeto visa abordar o controlo interno no quadro específico das instituições sem fins lucrativos, cuja missão faz apelo a uma estrutura organizativa e de controlo interno que, apoiando-se nos princípios gerais aplicáveis a qualquer domínio de atividade, em particular, ao setor empresarial, comportam aspetos diferenciados. Com efeito, estas instituições não estão orientadas para o lucro e deparam-se com contínuas e crescentes restrições orçamentais, que as obrigam a lutar todos os dias para continuar a oferecer um serviço de qualidade aos seus utentes. Neste contexto, o trabalho começa por fazer um enquadramento dos principais aspetos relacionados com os objetivos e o funcionamento dos sistemas de controlo interno em geral, passando-se a uma aplicação dos conceitos à realidade concreta da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Gavião. Para tal, foi efetuado o levantamento do sistema em vigor naquela instituição e fez-se a sua avaliação à luz das melhores práticas que entendemos serem ali aplicáveis. Em resultado desse trabalho, formularam-se diversas recomendações de melhoria. Espera-se que este trabalho constitua um ponto de partida para futuras etapas de melhoria do funcionamento do sistema de controlo interno da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Gavião, tornando-se cada vez mais um instrumento de apoio ao atingimento dos objetivos da organização.

Atualmente, o sucesso das organizações está dependente em grande parte do potencial humano lá existente, ou seja, são esperados resultados mais positivos quando existem ambientes saudáveis de participação, colaboração e cooperação. Este estudo foi inicialmente pensado para investigar o problema das relações com o trabalho em contexto organizacional. A hipótese considerada, é de existirem diferentes modos de relação com o trabalho e que esta se articula com as pertenças sociais. Desta forma, o objeto de estudo irá incidir fundamentalmente sobre uma problemática muito atual, “a ausência de cooperação nas organizações”. No essencial, o estudo propõe identificar as causas incitadoras da ausência de comportamentos cooperativos na organização. Identificadas e sistematizadas essas causas, procura-se criar uma tipologia de modos de relação com o trabalho, ou seja, identificar o tipo de relações que os atores da organização estabelecem com o trabalho; The Relationships with work – a case study Abstract: Currently, the success of organizations depends largely on the human potential there is, more positive results will be expected when there are healthy environments for participation, collaboration and cooperation. The study was initially thought to investigate the problem of relations with work in the organizational context. The working hypothesis is that there are different ways of relating to the work and that this is linked to the social affiliations. Thus, the object of study will focus primarily on an subject very current, “the absence of cooperation in organizations.” Overall, the study proposes to identify the causes instigators of absence of cooperative behaviors in the organization. After identified and systematized theses causes, the thesis seeks to create a typology of modes of relation to work, identify the type of relationships that actors have with the organization’s work.

Esta pesquisa está inserida no campo das Finanças Comportamentais, que foram influenciadas principalmente pela Teoria do Prospecto. Esta foi desenvolvida por Kahneman e Tversky (1979) e foi basicamente uma crítica à Teoria da Utilidade Esperada que supõe a perfeita racionalidade do tomador de decisão, fato que nem sempre corresponde ao comportamento normal das pessoas e investidores em particular. Foi testado o Efeito Disposição em empresas que realizaram IPO (Initial Public Offering) na Bovespa entre 1995 e 2008. Segundo o Efeito Disposição os investidores tendem a realizar os lucros (vendendo ativos que tiveram seus valores apreciados - winners) mais rapidamente do que os prejuízos (vendendo ativos que tiveram seus valores depreciados - losers). Esta afirmação tem como base a Teoria do Prospecto, já mencionada, que afirma que os investidores são avessos ao risco no campo dos ganhos e propensos ao risco no campo das perdas. Já o IPO representa a abertura de capital da empresa, sendo que, neste processo, todos os investidores partem de um mesmo preço de compra das ações. Esse fato tende a dar maior visibilidade ao Efeito Disposição levando em conta a quantidade de títulos negociados. Isto porque, com o preço de referência igual para todos os investidores, um eventual winner ou loser será observado igualmente nos investidores, conseqüentemente esses tendem a reter ou a vender as suas ações conforme sua posição, ou seja, no campo dos ganhos todos tendem a manter as ações em carteira, sendo o oposto no campo das perdas. A cada negócio ocorrido o preço de referência do investidor envolvido é alterado. Nesse mesmo sentido, também foi testada a intensidade do Efeito Disposição conforme o período após o IPO visto que, conforme o preço de referência dos investidores vai sendo alterado, a quantidade de títulos negociados fica cada vez menos influenciada pelo efeito. Foram utilizadas regressões, correlações e testes t paramétricos e não paramétricos para a confirmação das hipóteses de pesquisa. Os resultados evidenciaram que o Efeito Disposição é observado nos IPOs, sendo confirmada também a maior intensidade conforme a proximidade da data de abertura de capital. Através de testes complementares, também se concluiu que o mercado brasileiro apresenta características de comportamento similares as observadas por Kaustia (2004) nos Estados Unidos.

Abstract:
Ainda que limitadas enquanto expressão dos eventos ligados à saúde e apesar das deficiências em relação à cobertura e à qualidade dos dados, as estatísticas de mortalidade constituem um dos mais importantes subsídios para o planejamento e avaliação dos serviços de saúde. Tradicionalmente, a mortalidade de uma determinada população tem sido aferida por meio das taxas brutas e específicas de mortalidade. Porém, esses índices consideram apenas a magnitude das causas de óbito, sem qualificar o peso resultante dessas mortes para a sociedade. Neste sentido, tem-se enfatizado cada vez mais a importância da mortalidade prematura enquanto expressão social do valor da morte, pois esta, quando ocorre numa idade de altas criatividade e produtividade não só afeta o indivíduo e o grupo social que convive diretamente com ele, mas a sociedade como um todo, que é privada do seu potencial econômico e intelectual (REICHENHEIM; WERNECK, 1994). \"O indicador Anos Potenciais de Vida Perdidos (APVP), ao combinar a magnitude das mortes com a idade em que ocorreram os óbitos, qualifica essas mortes\" (KERR-PONTES; ROUQUAYROL, 1999 apud SAUER; WAGNER, 2003, p. 1520). Este estudo pretendeu avaliar a evolução dos APVPs nos municípios e regionais de saúde do Estado de São Paulo, no período de 2003 a 2013, para a população total. Pretendeu, também, analisar a evolução retrospectiva das 15 causas de óbito com as maiores taxas de APVP em 2013, para a população total do Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, foi elaborada uma base de dados a partir dos óbitos de residentes do Estado de São Paulo ocorridos no período de 2003 a 2013 e processados pelo SIM (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade), sendo as causas de morte classificadas de acordo com a Décima Revisão da Classificação Internacional de Doenças (CID 10). O cálculo dos APVPs foi realizado com base numa proposta feita por Romeder e McWhinnie (1988) e, após elaborados os dados, foram confeccionados cartogramas utilizando o programa Tabwin para visualização da evolução dos APVPs nas regionais de saúde do Estado. Foram construídos gráficos de linha para a observação da evolução das 15 causas de óbito com as maiores taxas de APVP de 2003 a 2013. Posteriormente, foram analisadas as Taxa de Mortalidade Geral (TMG), Taxa de Mortalidade Infantil (TMI) e Taxa de Mortalidade Materna (TMM) para os anos de 7 2003 a 2013 para o Estado de São Paulo. E, finalmente, foram avaliados: as dimensões escolaridade, longevidade e riqueza do Índice Paulista de Responsabilidade Social (IPRS) em cada um de seus grupos; frequência absoluta e relativa do IPRS em cada um de seus grupos; relação do IPRS segundo Redes Regionais de Atenção à Saúde (RRAS); relação IPRS segundo Grupos Populacionais; TAPVP por grupos de IPRS; TAPVP por Grupos Populacionais; TAPVP por RRAS; IPRS na sua dimensão Riqueza por TAPVP; IPRS na sua dimensão Longevidade por TAPVP; IPRS na sua dimensão Escolaridade por TAPVP; Correlação entre as dimensões do IPRS e TAPVP. Todas estas avaliações são válidas para o Estado de São Paulo para o ano de 2012 e foram obtidas utilizando-se o aplicativo Stata 9.0. A Taxa de Mortalidade Geral (TMG) para o Estado de São Paulo para o período de 2003 a 2013 em comparação com a do Brasil mostrou-se desfavorável, o mesmo acontecendo com a Taxa de Mortalidade Infantil (TMI), cujo predomínio, no Estado, foi do componente Pós-Neonatal. Já a Taxa de Mortalidade Materna (TMM) demonstrou boa assistência ao pré-natal, parto e puerpério no Estado no período citado. Observando-se a evolução das TAPVP nos cartogramas do Estado de São Paulo no período de 2003 a 2013 as RRAS onde as TAPVP foram maiores foram: 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 e 17. Das quinze maiores causas de óbito segundo TAPVP para o Estado no período, nove são passíveis de prevenção na atenção primária. Citou-se ainda o subregistro e a tripla carga de doenças. A maioria dos 645 municípios do Estado de São Paulo, no ano de 2012 apresentaram um IPRS de grupo 4. Houve 95% de probabilidade de que a maior TAPVP ocorreu para o IPRS 4 com um IC de 17.325,04 a 18.424,20. O Teste de Anova, com 4 gl mostrou diferença significativa (p<0,05) na TAPVP por grupos de IPRS. Com 5 graus de liberdade, o Teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi significativo (p<0,05) indicando que houve diferença entre os Grupos Populacionais quanto à TAPVP. Com 16 graus de liberdade, o Teste de Kruskal-Wallis foi significativo (p<0,05) indicando que existiu diferença entre as RRAS quanto às TAPVP. À medida que aumentou a riqueza do IPRS, diminuiu, ainda que discretamente, a TAPVP. Longevidade e TAPVP mantiveram-se estáveis. Conforme aumentou a escolaridade, aumentou a TAPVP. Por existir uma correlação positiva entre riqueza e longevidade e escolaridade, à medida que aumentou a riqueza, aumentaram a longevidade e escolaridade. Com relação a TAPVP e riqueza e longevidade, o coeficiente de correlação foi negativo, significando que à medida que aumentaram a riqueza e 8 longevidade, diminuiu a TAPVP. Porém, com relação à escolaridade, o coeficiente de correlação entre o mesmo e a TAPVP foi positivo, indicando que à medida que aumentou a escolaridade, aumentou a TAPVP. Por fim, essa dissertação poderia ser apresentada às autoridades de saúde do Estado como um projeto para redução da mortalidade prematura, com foco em melhoria da educação básica, instalação de mais serviços de saúde de qualidade e adequação dos serviços de segurança pública.
Although limited as an expression of health-related events and despite problems concerning the coverage and quality of available data, mortality estimates are among the most important foundations for the planning and evaluation of health services. Traditionally, mortality has been estimated according to the gross and specific mortality rates in a given population. However, these indicators consider the impact of death causes alone, without qualifying the burden resulting from deaths to society. The importance of premature mortality as a social expression of the burden of death has therefore received increasing attention, as it occurs at an age range of high creativity and productivity and affects not only the individual and his direct social group, but society as a whole, whose economic and intellectual potential is affected (REICHENHEIM; WERNECK, 1994). The estimate of potential years of life lost (PYLL) provides a more detailed assessment of mortality by combining death rates and the age when death occurs (KERR-PONTES; ROUQUAYROL, 1999 apud SAUER; WAGNER, 2003, p. 1520). Our study was aimed at assessing the evolution of PYLL rates in the total population of cities and health districts in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, between 2003 and 2013. We also assessed the retrospective evolution of the 15 death causes with the greatest PYLL rates in 2013 for the total population of the State of São Paulo. In order to achieve this, we created a database with information on deaths occurred in the state between 2003 and 2013 which were processed by the Mortality Information System (MIS), with death causes classified according to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). PYLL rates were calculated according to the method proposed by Romeder and McWhinnie (1988) and data charts 9 were created in TabWin to display the evolution of PYLL rates in the health districts of the state. Line graphs were created to display the evolution of the 15 death causes with the highest PYLL rates between 2003 and 2013. We further assessed the general mortality rate (GMR), child mortality rates (CMR), and mother mortality rates (MMR). Finally, we assessed the education, longevity, and wealth dimensions of the São Paulo Index of Social Responsibility (SPISR) in each of its groups; absolute and relative frequency of the SPISR in each of its groups; relationship of the SPISR according to the Regional Health Care Networks (RHCN); SPISR relationship according to population groups; PYLL rates by SPISR group; PYLL rates by population groups; PYLL rates by RHCN; SPISR dimension \'wealth\' by PYLL rates; SPISR dimension \'longevity\' by PYLL rates; SPISR dimension \'education\' by PYLL rates; and correlations between SPISR dimensions and PYLL rates. All the analyses are valid for the State of São Paulo in the year of 2012 and were made using the Stata 9.0 software. The GMR in the State of São Paulo for the period of 2003-2013 was worse compared to Brazil, and so was the CMR, with a predominance of the post-neonatal component in the State. The MMR indicated the availability of adequate prenatal, delivery, and postpartum assistance in the State during the period. The data charts displaying the evolution of PYLL rates in the State of São Paulo show that the RHCNs with the highest PYLL rates were 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 17. From the main 15 death causes according to PYLL rates in the period, 9 can be prevented in primary care. Under-recording and the triple load of diseases were also detected. The SPISR of most of the 645 municipalities in the State of São Paulo in the year 2012 was 4. The probability that the highest PYLL rate was associated with a SPISR of 4 was 95%, with a confidence interval between 17325.04 and 18424.20. An ANOVA with 4 degrees of freedom showed significant differences (p<0.05) in PYLL rates by SPISR group. With 5 degrees of freedom, the test of Kruskal-Wallis provided significant results (p<0.05), indicating the existence of differences between population groups in respect to PYLL rates. With 16 degrees of freedom, the Kruskal-Wallis test indicated the existence of significant differences between the RHCNs in terms of PYLL rates. PYLL rates decreased, although subtly, with the increase of wealth in the SPISR. Longevity and PYLL rates remained stable. As education increased, PYLL rates also increased. Since there was a positive correlation between wealth, longevity, and education, increased wealth was associated 10 with increased longevity and education as well. Concerning the relationship between PYLL rates and wealth and longevity, we found a negative correlation coefficient, indicating that as wealth and longevity increased, PYLL rates decreased. In respect to education, however, the correlation with PYLL rates was positive, indicating that increases in education were associated with increases in PYLL rates. Finally, this dissertation could be presented to the health authorities of the State of São Paulo as a project to reduce early mortality, focused on improvements in basic education, expansion of high-quality health services, and improvements in public security

Abstract:
In this study, we conducted an event study of 100 Brazilian IPO’s from 2004 to 2010 to detect if there was any significant abnormal returns after the expiration of the IPO lockup period, during which pre-IPO shareholders are prevented from selling their shares. We found no significant abnormal returns for all companies during all event dates examined, though we did detect significant negative abnormal returns around lockup for high- volatility firms. We also find that after the lockup expiration, there is a higher frequency of days with a higher-than-average trading volume.

Em uma oferta inicial de ações, uma das dificuldades dos investidores é avaliar que preço pagar pela ação lançada. Para diminuir tal dificuldade, a Comissão de Valores Imobiliários exige que as empresas emissoras apresentem demonstrativos financeiros dos últimos três anos de operações. Esta dissertação avalia a precisão desses demonstrativos financeiros, através de uma amostra de 67 emissões de ações na Bovespa entre 2002 e 2007. A análise dos dados mostra que as emissões com um único banco coordenador apresentam uma maior incidência de rubricas discriminatórias, que aumentam os lucros acumulados. Tais rubricas aparecem mais frequentemente em demonstrativos no formato pró-forma, que não impõem uma responsabilidade legal sobre os auditores, consistente com a hipótese de que as rubricas discricionárias têm por finalidade inflar os lucros contábeis.
Investors face the challenge to value the price of a share during na ipo. With the purpose of improving their ability, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) demands companies to present financial statements for the last three years of continuing operations. This dissertation assesses the quality of these financial statements using a sample of 67 IPOs that took place at São Paulo Stock Exchange between 2002 and 2007. The analysis of the prospectuses gives us evidence that IPOs with only one investment bank on their syndicate present higher discretionary accruals and by consequence, reported earnings. The use of discretionary accruals is more common in pro forma financial statements which exempt auditing companies from legal responsibility and therefore enhance the hypothesis that discretionary accruals are used in order to inflate earnings.

Abstract:
This master thesis examines the effect of ex-ante uncertainty about the intrinsic value of US FinTech IPOs stock on the underpricing level. Baron (1982) Asymmetric information model and Beaty and Ritter (1986) the ex-ante uncertainty model were tested using regression analysis by selecting different proxies of ex-ante uncertainty (Firm Age and Market capitalization, IPO proceed and Number of uses of proceed, Venture backing and Underwriter reputation). The Data set consists of 62 US FinTech IPOs during the period from January, 2005 to July, 2017. The underpricing level of US FinTech IPOs was 20.46%. The market capitalization, venture backing and the number of uses of proceed were found to be significant in determining the level of underpricing. The thesis also concludes that Baron (1982) and Beaty and Ritter (1986) models don’t hold for the FinTech IPOs during the period from January, 2005 to July, 2017.

A seguinte dissertação é uma reflexão acerca da atuação direta de grupos civis como agentes do Golpe Civil-Militar no Brasil em 1964, dando ênfase à importância da produção cinematográfica do Instituto de Pesquisa e Estudos Sociais - IPÊS, um grupo fundado em 1961 pela convergência de um posicionamento anticomunista com a ambição de reformar e remodelar o Estado brasileiro. A partir dessa análise da cinematografia do Instituto, mostramos como essa produção cinematográfica, repleta de imagens políticas e simbólicas, foi importante para a elaboração e legitimação de uma Cultura Política liberal, anticomunista, antipopulista e cristã. Esse discurso visava à preservação da nação diante da necessidade de construção de uma nova identidade nacional, a partir de concepções discutidas dentro das elites tecnocratas dos empresários das multinacionais e seguindo a logística capitalista embasada pela Aliança para o Progresso da América Latina e os preceitos religiosos da Encíclica Mater et Magistra. Dessa forma, nesta dissertação questionamos a possibilidade de vislumbrar uma Cultura Política dentro do discurso cinematográfico do IPÊS e a importância dessa atividade de propaganda na organização de um movimento político, tal como um partido, para arquitetar o Golpe ao governo de João Goulart.

Abstract:
Objective: To determine fracture toughness (KIC) and fatigue crack propagation (FCP) parameters for IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max Press. Materials and methods: For KIC determinations, 20 (6x6x6x12mm) notchless triangular prism (NTP) specimens of IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max Press were prepared. IPS e.max CAD blocks were cut, ground and then crystallized, while IPS e.max Press ingots were pressed into molds obtained from wax prisms. Each specimen was mounted into a holder and custom grips were used to attach the holder to a computerized universal testing machine (Instron model 4301). The assembly was loaded in tension at a crosshead speed of 0.1mm/min and KIC was calculated based on the recorded maximum load at fracture. Fractured surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results were statistically analyzed using Weibull statistics and t-test (⍺=0.05). For FCP characterization, a pilot test was done with three Plexiglas NTP samples. A pre-crack was initiated in one of the specimen edges. Several lines were scribed on the side of the specimen to monitor crack propagation. The specimens were mounted in the holder and then attached to custom grips on a servo hydraulic fatigue-testing machine (Instron model 8511). A strain gauge was attached to these grips to monitor crack opening displacement. Each specimen was cyclically loaded in tension (Mode I) in a load range between 1 and 20 N and crack length was monitored and filmed using a high definition video recorder (SONY HDR-XR550V) attached to a microscope (Edmund Scientific Co, Barrington, NJ). Video recording was terminated once catastrophic fracture of the specimen occurred. Cyberlink Power Director and Image J software were used in data analysis. Results: KIC values were significantly higher for IPS e.max Press than IPS e.max CAD. The pilot FCP tests on Plexiglas revealed limitations with regards to the applicability of NTP specimen KIC test to FCP studies due to the presence of a trapezoidal crack front in the specimens. Conclusion: IPS e.max Press is superior to IPS e.max CAD in KIC. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a trapezoidal crack front in FCP studies.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the long-term post-issue performance using a sample of 1,953 UK non-financial IPOs for the period of 1982-2004. Data is obtained from the LSPD. The main measure of performance includes buy-and-hold abnormal returns, cumulative abnormal returns, and calendar time regression intercepts. Our results indicate the mixed evidence on the long-term post-IPO stock performance. Event time analysis produce significant underperformance at five-year horizon while calendar time regression results show that IPOs perform as good as benchmarks. In conclusion, the relative long-term performance depends on the method and benchmark of examining performance. For example, most results based on BHAR measure suggest that the sample underperforms. Additionally, we assess the choice of data set on the conclusion of long-term post-IPO performance. We find that Datastream (DS) produces similar results as London Share Price Database (LSPD) if equal weight scheme is adopted. Additionally, there is insignificant discrepancy for the value weighted returns. Finally, the thesis reveals that two-stage IPOs do not underperform the benchmarks. Furthermore, two-stage IPOs have similar long-term performance compared to that of regular IPOs listed in AIM. Also, the underpricing for two-stage IPOs is less severe than regular IPOs.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Gerontologia - Gestão de Equipamentos
Enquadramento: As IPSS debatem-se com constrangimentos de ordem financeira que podem ameaçar o seu desempenho. O Estado é o seu maior financiador, mas a tendência de diminuição dos apoios públicos impõe às IPSS encontrem outras formas de financiamento. As IPSS devem garantir a sua sustentabilidade financeira através da diversificação das fontes de financiamento (aumento do financiamento privado) e da implementação de estratégias de redução de custos e aumento das receitas. A gestão dos recursos das IPSS deve ser realizada de uma forma eficiente e eficaz, com vista à construção de uma organização sustentável que cumpra a sua missão e atinja os seus objetivos de carácter social. Objetivos: O objetivo geral do estudo é o seguinte: identificar as estratégias de financiamento que fomentam a sustentabilidade das IPSS. Os objetivos específicos são os seguintes: (1) Conhecer a tipologia das fontes de financiamento das IPSS; (2) Identificar os benefícios e os riscos da diversificação das fontes de financiamento das IPSS; (3) Analisar as fontes de receitas e de custos das IPSS; (4) Identificar os fatores que contribuem para vulnerabilidade financeira das IPSS; (5) Identificar as ações das IPSS que visam uma melhoria da sua sustentabilidade financeira. Métodos: Estudo de caso de 4 IPSS, com utilização de entrevista semi-estruturada (9 entrevistas) e análise documental. Recurso ao software NVivo 10 para categorização dos dados e à análise de conteúdo para interpretação dos dados recolhidos. Resultados:Os Acordos de Cooperação com a Segurança Social são a melhor estratégia para garantir a sustentabilidade financeira das IPSS. Estas desenvolvem um conjunto de ações que visam a melhoria da sua sustentabilidade económica, tais como, a rentabilização de recursos, a redução de despesas, o desenvolvimento de serviços de valor acrescentado e a angariação de recursos. As IPSS sentem necessidade de diversificar as fontes de financiamento (desenvolvimento de atividades complementares como fonte de receita) e apresentam preocupações relacionadas com o cumprimento da sua missão social (intervenção orientada para as necessidades dos stakeholders). Implicações:O estudo sugere a importância das IPSS diversificarem as suas fontes de financiamentoe explorar iniciativas de carácter privado que permitam criar lucro para desenvolver os objetivos e a missão da organização. Recomenda-se a replicação do estudo com uma amostra mais alargada.
Background: Private Institutions of Social Solidarity (PISS) struggle with financial constraints that can jeopardize their performance. The State is the PISS main financier, but the tendency to decrease public support imposes on PISS to find new sources of funding. PISS must assure their financial sustainability through the diversification of funding sources (increase of private funding) and the implementation of strategies to reduce the costs and increase the revenues. Managing the PISS sources must be done in an efficient and effective way, with the intent to build a sustainable organization that fulfills its mission and reaches its social goals. Objectives:This study’s main objective is to: identify financial strategies that promote the PISS sustainability. The specific objectives are to: (1) know the types of PISS financial sources; (2) identify the benefits and the risks of diversifying the PISS sources of funding; (3) analyze the sources of revenue and of PISS costs; (4) identify the factors that contribute to PISS financial vulnerability; (5) Identify the actions of PISS aimed at improving its financial sustainability. Methods: Case study of 4 PISS, using semi-structured interviews (9 interviews) and documental analysis. Resorting to the NVivo10 software to categorize data and to do content analysisto interpret the collected data. Results:The cooperation agreements with the Social Security are the best strategy to ensure the financial sustainability of the PISS. These develop a set of actions aimed at improving their economic sustainability, such as the profitability of resources, reducing costs, the development of value-added services and fundraising. The PISSfeel the need to diversify sources of funding (development of complementary activities as a source of revenue) and have concerns about the fulfillment of its social mission (targeted intervention to the needs of stakeholders). Implications: The study suggests the importance of PISS diversifying their funding sources and exploring private initiatives that build profit to develop the goals and mission of the organization. It is recommended to replicate the study with a larger sample.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to study the effect of market conditions on the performance of IPOs which is relevant information for investors and companies alike, involved with IPOs. The long-term underperformance of IPOs has been previously discussed by Loughran & Ritter (1995) which has later been named as the “New Issuance Puzzle” of IPOs. This underperformance, however, has later been contradicted by research from Carter et al. (2011) who did not find long-term underperformance of IPOs. By studying the previous research of Helwege & Liang (2004), who examined IPO issuances under different hot and cold IPO periods, we found a research gap of what effect the market conditions have on the IPO issuance.   By analysing the performance under different time periods, we compare the results to an index benchmark with matching time periods of the IPO issuing companies under our full sample period. We can then analyse the performance of the IPOs compared to their respective benchmark. By adding an analysis of hot/cold and bull/bear market conditions under which the IPOs were conducted, we will observe the effect of IPO performance under different market conditions.   Our positivistic and ontological view guided our article and research process. We relied on a deductive approach in order to test our anticipated outcomes and hypotheses. Articles yielding substantive theories, based on the explanation of middle-range theories serve as the benchmark of our theoretical framework.   The research came to a conclusion where we did not observe underperformance of the IPOs in the long-term, which contradicts the “New Issuance Puzzle” of Loughran & Ritter (1995). We could observe underperformance (overperformance) of IPOs under hot (cold) period market conditions when we defined the hot and cold market periods in accordance with the number of IPO issuance during each year. In accordance to initial first month IPO returns, we observe overperformance (underperformance) of hot (cold) period IPOs. We also included bull and bear market conditions into our research, where we could find patterns that the number of issuance had the same distribution as the bull and bear market conditions currently consisting on the market. The index of OMXS30 had the same price movement as the number of issuance each year. Therefore the number of issuance each year could hypothetically be used as an indicator of the future market performance of the OMX Stockholm. We did not find statistical significance of abnormal returns on the IPO market under different market conditions

Abstract:
In the first essay we examine the effect of concurrent lending and underwriting on IPO withdrawal, we find that IPOs underwritten by the firms’ concurrent lending banks are significantly more likely to be withdrawn. The result is robust to controlling for the common factors that affect IPO withdrawal and also for endogeneity using a propensity score matching portfolio. Our evidence suggests a cost to IPO firms’ hiring concurrent lending banks as underwriters despite the potential benefit of informational scope economies such intermediaries may provide. It is consistent with an alternative argument that a current lending and underwriting bank has less incentive to help sell its client firms’ securities because of its lock-in of the firms’ subsequent borrowing needs even when it fails to sell the securities. In the second essay, we examine the investment decisions of second-time IPO firms after successfully going public. Our findings show that, contrary to first time IPOs, second-time IPOs are not active acquirers and spend significantly more on CAPEX and R&D than first-time IPOs. Unlike acquisitions in the post-IPO period, CAPEX and R&D spending benefit second-time IPOs’ long run performance.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the main factors that determine the first-day return and the Flipping activity in Brazilian IPOs, taking into account expected results according to national and international researches. The data base encompasses IPOs that took place between May 2004 and February 2011, summing up to 129 IPOs and approximately R$ 128 billion offering. The first-day return, which means the ‘money left on the table’, was on average 4.6% taking into consideration the issue price, while the Flipping activity totalized R$ 7.2 billion, meaning 5.6% of the offering. The first-day return was analyzed before and after the first trade, and evidences were found supporting (a) the exogenous determination of the issue price, (b) the opening price dependence of prospectus disclosure and of other variables, observable previously to the bookbuilding process, and (c) the cascade behavior of investors in the pricing after the first trade, particularly driven by the underwriter behavior. In regards to the Flipping, it was notorious depending on how much the IPO succeeded, being concentrated in and homogeneous along the first-day, despite the intense negotiation in the first minute. As a general contribution to literature, it was concluded that Information Asymmetry Theory arguments are not sufficient to explain the first-day Underpricing and the Flipping, being necessary arguments based on Behavioral Finance adapted to an intraday perspective.
Este trabalho analisa empiricamente os fatores determinantes do retorno e do ‘Flipping’ no primeiro dia de negociação em IPOs no Brasil, levando em consideração os resultados esperados pela literatura nacional e internacional. A base de dados inclui IPOs realizados entre maio de 2004 e fevereiro de 2011, totalizando 129 IPOs com ofertas primária e/ou secundária e envolvendo em torno de R$ 128 bilhões. O retorno do primeiro dia, que caracteriza o ‘dinheiro deixado na mesa’, foi em média de 4,6% com relação ao preço de emissão, enquanto o ‘Flipping’ totalizou R$ 7,2 bilhões, ou seja, 5,6% da oferta. Para o retorno, analisado antes e depois da abertura, evidenciou-se (a) a determinação exógena do preço de emissão, além da (b) influência no preço de abertura do ‘disclosure’ do prospecto e de outras variáveis observáveis antes do processo de ‘bookbuilding’, como também (c) o comportamento em ‘cascata’ dos investidores na formação de preços após a abertura, particularmente catalisada pela atuação do ‘underwriter’. Já o ‘Flipping’ foi mais proeminente conforme o sucesso do IPO, sendo concentrado no primeiro dia, mas homogêneo ao longo deste, apesar da intensa negociação no primeiro minuto. Como contribuição geral para a literatura, foi constatada a insuficiência dos argumentos baseados na Teoria da Assimetria da Informação na explicação do ‘Underpricing’ e do ‘Flipping’ no primeiro dia, sendo identificada a complementaridade de argumentos baseados em Finanças Comportamentais adaptados para o mercado intradiário

Abstract:
Les brevets sont une forme de droits de propriété intellectuelle (PI) particulièrement pertinente pour promouvoir les activités innovantes. Un brevet accorde à son propriétaire un droit exclusif temporaire sur des inventions qui sont nouvelles, qui impliquent une étape inventive et qui sont susceptibles d'une application industrielle. En s'appuyant sur ce droit, les inventeurs peuvent protéger leurs idées contre l'imitation et obtenir un retour économique sur leurs investissements en recherche et développement (R&D). Cependant, l'utilisation des brevets a connu une transformation significative, s'étendant bien au-delà de l'objectif traditionnel de récompenser les efforts innovants. Particulièrement dans le domaine des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC), les brevets sont de plus en plus utilisés comme des outils stratégiques (Blind, 2021). De plus, au cours des trois dernières décennies, l'augmentation marquée du nombre de brevets accordés et l'essor sans précédent du commerce des brevets ont ouvert la voie à de nouveaux intermédiaires sur le marché des technologies (Hagiu et Yoffie, 2013). Les Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs)—des entreprises qui n'utilisent pas leurs brevets de manière traditionnelle dans la fabrication, mais qui se consacrent principalement à la concession de licences et à l'application—ont émergé en tant qu'acteurs importants sur le marché des brevets (Golden, 2007; Feldman et Ewing, 2012). Également Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs), parfois désignées de manière péjorative sous le nom de "patent trolls," les NPEs ont fortement polarisé le débat académique et politique. En raison de leur statut de non-producteurs, les NPEs bénéficient des avantages uniques par rapport aux entreprises productrices. Ils sont généralement à l'abri des contre-réclamations pour contrefaçon de brevet et ont récemment été accusés de mettre en œuvre des stratégies de "hold-up" de brevets (Lemley et Shapiro, 2007), que certains estiment imposer un "impôt sur l'innovation" significatif avec des effets négatifs potentiels sur l'innovation future (Chien, 2008). Alors que les NPEs ont été largement analysées sur le marché des brevets aux États-Unis depuis leur apparition au début des années 2000 (Mezzanotti, 2021; Lemley et Zyontz, 2021), ce n'est que récemment que les chercheurs ont commencé à étudier leur présence sur le marché technologique européen (Fusco, 2013; Love, 2013; Leiponen et Delcamp, 2019). Cette thèse vise à combler ces lacunes de recherche en examinant le phénomène des NPEs sur le marché des brevets européens. D'abord, nous explorons et analysons de manière approfondie la littérature sur les modèles économiques des NPEs en adoptant une approche bibliométrique guidée par le protocole Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) pour les revues systématiques de littérature. De plus, nous intégrerons trois études de cas sur les modèles économiques des NPEs. Ensuite, nous étudions empiriquement la présence des NPEs sur le marché des brevets européens grâce à un nouveau jeu de données crée pour analyser les demandes de brevet et les acquisitions de NPEs à l'Office européen des brevets (OEB). Nous élaborons aussi une taxonomie originale, classant ainsi les NPEs en trois modèles économiques : "Litigation", "Portfolio" et "Technology". Enfin, nous explorons empiriquement l'interaction entre les caractéristiques de qualité des brevets revendiqués et la propension des NPEs à choisir des juridictions européennes spécifiques pour engager des poursuites (« forum shopping »)
Patents are a form of intellectual property rights (IPRs) that are especially relevant to promoting innovative activities. A patent grants its owner a temporary exclusive right over inventions that are new, involve an inventive step and are susceptible of industrial application. Relying on this right, inventors can protect their ideas from imitation and gain an economic return from their investments in research and development (R&D). However, the use of patents has undergone a significant transformation, extending far beyond the traditional purpose of rewarding innovative efforts. Particularly in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), patents are increasingly used as strategic tools (Blind, 2021). Moreover, over the past three decades, the sharp increase in the number of granted patents and the unprecedented flourishing of patent trading have paved the way for new intermediaries in the market for technology (Hagiu and Yoffie, 2013). Non-practicing entities (NPEs)—firms that do not use their patents in a traditional manufacturing sense, but primarily engage in licensing and enforcement—have emerged as prominent actors on the patent market (Golden, 2007; Feldman and Ewing, 2012). Also referred to as Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs), sometimes pejoratively called "patent trolls," NPEs have greatly polarized the academic and policy debate. Due to their non-manufacturing status, NPEs have unique advantages over operating companies. They are typically shielded from patent infringement counter-claims and have recently faced allegations of employing patent "hold-up" strategies (Lemley and Shapiro, 2007), which some argue it imposes a significant "tax on innovation" with potential negative effects on subsequent innovation (Chien, 2008). While NPEs have been extensively analyzed in the US patent market since their emergence in the early 2000s (Mezzanotti, 2021; Lemley and Zyontz, 2021), it is only recently that researchers have started to investigate their presence in the European technology market (Fusco, 2013; Love, 2013; Leiponen and Delcamp, 2019). This thesis aims to address these research gaps by examining the NPE phenomenon in the European patent marketplace. First, we extensively explore and analyze the literature on NPE business models by adopting a novel bibliometric approach guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol for systematic literature reviews. In addition, we will integrate three relevant NPE business models case studies. Second, we empirically investigate the presence of NPEs in the European patent market through a brand- new dataset of NPE patent filings and acquisitions at the European Patent Office (EPO). Furthermore, we develop an original taxonomy, thus categorizing NPEs into three business models: "Litigation," "Portfolio" and "Technology" NPEs. Finally, we empirically explore the interplay between the quality characteristics of the asserted patent and the propensity of NPEs to choose specific European jurisdictions where to initiate litigation (forum shopping)

Abstract:
ABSTRAKT Personer med psykiskt funktionshinder ärden persongrupp som statistiskt sett har minst chans att komma ut i arbete. Enarbetsrehabiliteringsmetod som enligt internationell forskning visat sig varaden mest effektiva för dessa personer är Individual Placement and Support(IPS), men kunskap om hur metoden fungerar i Sverige är ännu bristfällig.Syftet var att belysa IPS-coachers uppfattning om vad som påverkat arbetsrehabiliteringenför klienter med psykiskt funktionshinder inom två IPS-program i norraSverige.  Metoden som användes var attanalysera åtta IPS-coachers dokumentation kring 65 klientersarbetsrehabilitering under totalt två år med hjälp av kvalitativinnehållsanalys. Ett övergripande tema kunde skapas ”Motivation och förmåga att se värdet av IPS möjliggör en fungerandearbetsrehabilitering”, som bestod av de fyra huvudkategorierna: ”Klientcentrerat arbetssätt för att skapa ochupprätthålla klientens motivation, ”Klientens hälsa, livssituation ochstrategier för konstruktiv anpassning”, ”Betingelser för lämplig arbetsplats” och ”Spelregler i samarbetet”. Upprätthållandetav motivation visade sig vara mycket komplext då det påverkas av så mångaaspekter och för personer med psykiskt funktionshinder kan det vara extrasvårt. En slutsats är att metoden IPS och arbetsterapi delar flera centralavärderingar. Framför allt att meningsfull aktivitet påverkar människans hälsaoch bidrar till utveckling, men också att ett klientcentrerat arbetssättmöjliggör skapandet av flexibla strategier som fungerar för den enskildeklienten i det sammanhang där han eller hon ska utföra sina aktiviteter.

IPMS Chile es una agrupación de modelistas nacionales, que lleva más de 25 años siendo un lugar de encuentro para los modelistas nacionales. Su principal labor, a lo largo de los años, ha sido la de difundir, desarrollar y expandir el arte del modelismo. El objetivo general de la memoria es lograr diseñar un plan que ayude a esta agrupación a mejorar su funcionamiento actual y que le permita proyectarse hacia el futuro. Esta memoria recopila análisis realizados tanto al ambiente externo de la organización, a las otras organizaciones parecidas y las tiendas de modelismo. Además se tocan variados temas concernientes a la organización, tratando de analizar cada arista de la misma. Se usó el concepto del capital social para diagnosticar a la comunidad y descubrir sus pensamientos, sus percepciones y qué es lo que esperan de una organización como IPMS Chile. Los resultados más importantes fueron el reconocer la gran diversidad de modelistas existentes en el círculo de la organización y el reto que plantea el tener que dirigir y motivar a un grupo tan homogéneo como ese. Las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación han cambiado la forma como se aprende y como se comunican las personas, lo que ha llegado también a IPMS Chile. Si quiere desarrollarse, la organización tendrá que asumir otros roles y objetivos. Los modelistas ven a IPMS Chile tomando el rol de unir a los modelistas chilenos, de seguir difundiendo y fomentando el hobby, siendo el nexo fundamental con otras instituciones (museos, fuerzas armadas, otros clubes, etc.). Está en IPMS Chile plantearse a sí misma sus objetivos y sus metas, por el momento, tiene a una gran cantidad de personas asociadas. Falta entonces, en IPMS Chile, la institucionalidad, los liderazgos y los objetivos que puedan motivar un mayor compromiso de los modelistas con el desarrollo de su hobby en el país.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Nos últimos 10 anos, bolsas de valores de vários países buscaram alianças ou implementaram novas regras de governança que, em geral, visam a proteger os acionistas minoritários. O Novo Mercado foi criado pela BOVESPA dentro desse contexto, inspirado no Neuer Markt alemão. Ao aderir às regras do Novo Mercado, as firmas garantem um maior nível de proteção aos seus acionistas minoritários, o que deve levar a um aumento dos preços das ações e, conseqüentemente, da capacidade de financiamento dessas firmas via mercado de capitais. Utilizando uma amostra de 46 Ofertas Públicas Iniciais de Ações de empresas privadas ocorridas na BOVESPA de 1994 a 2006, encontramos evidência de que empresas que optam pelo Novo Mercado, em média, vendem uma fração maior de seu capital (9,52% a mais) do que as empresas que optam por outros segmentos da BOVESPA. Nosso estudo também mostra um benefício do Novo Mercado ao qual não se tem dado tanta atenção. O aumento do preço facilita a venda de parte das ações existentes dos acionistas controladores, possibilitando uma diversificação de riqueza a custos mais baixos. O Novo Mercado parece ser tão importante para a capacidade de financiamento das empresas como para os ganhos de diversificação dos controladores.
For the last 10 years, stock exchanges from several countries have been searching for alliances or implementing new corporate governance rules in order to protect minority shareholders. The Novo Mercado (New Market) was created by the Brazilian stock exchange, BOVESPA, in this context, inspired by the German Neuer Markt. By adhering to Novo Mercado rules, firms guarantee a higher level of minority shareholder protection, which should lead to an increase in stock prices and, as a consequence, on firm´s financing capacity through capital markets. Using a sample of 46 Initial Public Stock Offerings at BOVESPA from 1994 until 2006, we find that companies that list their shares at Novo Mercado sell, on average, a bigger fraction of their capital (9.52% more) when compared to those that list at other segments in BOVESPA. Our study also shows a benefit of Novo Mercado that has not being much discussed. Higher stock prices make it less costly for controlling stockholders to diversify their wealth. The Novo Mercado seems to be as relevant for financing companies as for diversifying shareholders´ portfolios.

This thesis examined the relationships between corporation patent assets and four patent strategies - patent infringement lawsuit, patent unilateral licensing, patent cross license and patent purchase - in the North America region. Utilizing 4-digit IPC code of the patent is to extract the core technology areas of the smartphone firm. The comparison of the patent counts with average patent citations in the both smartphone firms’ core technology fields can determine which smartphone firm has competitive advantage in these core technology areas. The results showed that smartphone firms with abundant patent asset in quantity and quality usually take patent infringement lawsuit strategy to block rivals outside the market and to obtain more market share. On the contrary, smartphone firms with scarce patent asset usually need to acquire external patents for the purpose of protecting their products. Patent unilateral licensing strategy, in the case of smartphone firms with huge R&D investments, plays a significant role in activating intangible intellectual asset, since smartphone firms can earn loyalty via unilateral patent license activity. On the other hand, in cases where one of any two smartphone firms possesses predominant patents, whatever in quantity or quality, in the other’s core technology fields, the thesis reveals empirical outcome that it would take patent cross license strategy so as to obtain a win-win situation.

According to the survey, for the time being these enterprises obtain needed capital mainly from government or guaranteed by the Small and Medium Enterprise Credit Guarantee Fund of Taiwan. They can hardly make it through project finance or syndication loan.
