O presente trabalho tem como objectivo principal contribuir para um maior conhecimento do processo de crescimento económico Português ocorrido nas últimas três décadas, considerando explicitamente a relação entre mudanças ocorridas ao nível sectorial e transformações de natureza macroeconómica. Embora este assunto tenha sido objecto de análise em trabalhos anteriores, várias questões relevantes relacionadas com a interacção entre progresso tecnológico, mudança estrutural e crescimento económico permaneceram em aberto. Estas questões são abordadas neste trabalho, que tem na teoria neo-Schumpeteriana a sua fundamentação teórica principal. Após uma primeira parte onde é realizada uma revisão da literatura relevante na área de conhecimento em questão, a análise da relação entre tecnologia, mudança estrutural e desempenho macroeconómico é abordada, utilizando a metodologia shift-share. Esta metodologia é aplicada considerando diferentes desagregações da actividade económica e utilizando a produtividade total de factores como medida de produtividade. São também tidos em conta os efeitos de Verdoorn no cômputo da relevância do efeito de mudança estrutural. A consideração explícita do factor capital na mensuração do crescimento da produtividade revela que o desempenho da economia Portuguesa entre 1977 e 2003 foi globalmente medíocre. Os resultados revelam ainda que os reduzidos ganhos de produtividade decorreram sobretudo da transferência de trabalho e de capital entre sectores, mais do que de ganhos de produtividade intra-sectoriais. Os benefícios inerentes à mudança estrutural ocorreram, no entanto, no interior dos grandes grupos de actividade da economia Portuguesa, que sofreram poucas alterações ao longo do período em estudo. De facto, no final deste período, a economia Portuguesa conserva os seus principais traços estruturais, registando um grande relevo de actividades com uso intensivo de mão-de-obra pouco qualificada e com reduzida intensidade tecnológica. A última parte da tese é dedicada à análise da relação entre a importância relativa de actividades tecnologicamente avançadas na estrutura produtiva e o crescimento da produtividade do trabalho. Para este efeito é estimada uma regressão com dados em painel onde, para além de Portugal, são considerados países que no início do período em estudo possuíam características estruturais idênticas ao caso Português, mas que observaram trajectórias de crescimento muito diversas no período em análise. Os resultados sustentam empiricamente a hipótese segundo a qual os países com maior capacidade de proceder a transformações efectivas da sua estrutura produtiva em torno de actividades tecnologicamente mais avançadas beneficiam de um crescimento superior da produtividade do trabalho. Em simultâneo, a evidência obtida confirma o carácter estratégico das actividades directamente relacionadas com as tecnologias de informação e de comunicação, ainda que tal aconteça unicamente para actividades produtoras destas tecnologias. Este facto sublinha o carácter local dos efeitos de spillover decorrentes de actividades económicas tecnologicamente mais avançadas.
The main purpose of the present study is to contribute for a deeper understanding of the growth process of the Portuguese economy over the last three decades, by explicitly taking into account the relationship between changes occurring at the industry level of the economy and overall macroeconomic changes. Although a few studies have already addressed the matter for the Portuguese case, a number of important issues relating structural transformation, technology and economic growth remained unexplored, and it is our purpose to fill this gap by considering the neo-Schumpeterian stream of research as the main theoretical frame of analysis. After comprehensively surveying the relevant literature on the field, a preliminary assessment of the relationship between technology, structural change and the macroeconomic performance of the Portuguese economy is undertaken using shift-share analysis. This technique is applied considering total factor productivity growth, and employing different levels of breakdown of economic activity, which include the division of industries according to their skills and innovativeness potential. The impact of Verdoorn effects is also acknowledged. The inclusion of capital in the measurement of productivity growth reveals that the performance of the Portuguese economy was globally mediocre in the period under scrutiny, which was characterised by very slow rates of TFP growth. The results show furthermore that most of the (low) productivity gains came from the shift of labour and capital resources across sectors, rather than from intra-productivity gains. Structural change gains arose, however, in a context of relatively slow change in the broad Portuguese economic structure, which maintained a strong bias towards traditional and low-skilled activities. The latter part of the thesis is dedicated to the investigation of the benefits in terms of productivity growth arising from an increase in the relative importance of technologically dynamic industries. This is done using panel data regression methods and analysing the Portuguese case with reference to a number of other countries that presented similar structural characteristics in the late 1970s, but which have experienced widely different growth trajectories since then. The results provide empirical support to the hypothesis according to which substantial benefits have accrued to countries that successfully changed their structure towards more technologically advanced industries. Moreover, the results lend some support to the view that ICT-related industries are strategic branches of economic activity, but only when producing industries are considered. This accentuates the fact that most spillovers from advanced industries, and particularly ICT producing industries are local and national in character.

Environmental, economic and social conditions have changed drastically throughout Great Plains farming communities. In Southwest Kansas, the Ogallala Aquifer supports extensive agricultural industries and family farms through hyper-extraction of groundwater resources. Capitalistic ventures in farming have led to socials changes like declining community populations, out-migration of youth and family farm transformations. The relationship between environmental change, economic development and social changes is explored through a case study of Haskell County Kansas. Interviews were conducted to understand residents' perspectives of declining environmental resources available to achieve continued economic development by way of family farming. Residents also explain social changes that have resulted from evolving economic conditions and increasing use of groundwater resources.

Повний текст джерелаEn el capítulo 1, “El poder de los mercados: impacto de las invasiones de langostas del desierto sobre la salud infantil”, proporciono pruebas reducidas de la importancia (acceso a) mercados en la transmisión de choques agrícolas impulsados por el cambio climático a la acumulación de capital humano a economías agrícolas de bajos ingresos. En general, argumenta por la importancia de abordar las reacciones del mercado local en este tipo de choque agrícola a la hora de diseñar políticas públicas. También transmite evidencias claras de la vulnerabilidad de las economías agrícolas y de bajos ingresos a los choques a corto plazo inducidos por el cambio climático. Por lo tanto, motiva a los capítulos posteriores, en que estudio las reacciones económicas a largo plazo y las consecuencias del cambio climático. En el capítulo 2, “Cambio climático y migración: el caso de África”, estudio los posibles costes económicos y las respuestas migratorias al cambio climático en el contexto del África subsahariana (SSA) durante las próximas décadas. Para ello, desarrollo un marco espacial cuantitativo que recoge el papel de las redes comerciales y la idoneidad agrícola en la distribución de la población y el PIB (teniendo en cuenta los ajustes endógenos de la selección y el comercio de cultivos). Lo combino con datos geoespaciales detalladas para simular el impacto del cambio climático mediante previsiones de productividad agrícola en el 2080 de la FAO. Los resultados sugieren que el cambio climático podría conducir a grandes flujos migratorios dentro y entre los países de la SSA, con pérdidas económicas sustanciales. Además, la capacidad de ajustar la mezcla de producción entre diferentes sectores (cultivos y / o no agrícolas) o el elevado acceso a los mercados mitiga parcialmente los impactos del cambio climático en términos de salidas de población. Finalmente, un experimento relacionado con la adopción de tecnología a la agricultura muestra que la adopción tecnología en este sector podría revertir considerablemente los impactos negativos del cambio climático. El capítulo 3, “Especialización sectorial local en un mundo de calentamiento” estudia la evolución de la distribución geográfica de la economía y el clima mundiales en un entorno donde ambos elementos son endógenos entre sí. En particular, incorporo un enlace entre la actividad económica, las emisiones de carbono y el calentamiento global en un modelo de equilibrio espacial general dinámico donde la innovación espacial impulsa la dinámica de la evolución de la productividad y el crecimiento. Simulando la evolución de la economía mundial durante los próximos siglos, encuentro una concentración de actividad agrícola mucho mayor en las latitudes del norte (por ejemplo, Siberia) si se compara con un escenario sin calentamiento global. En términos agregados, el cambio climático conduce a diferentes patrones de evolución de la productividad sectorial, el crecimiento económico y la especialización en sectores agrícolas y urbanos, en línea con algunos de los resultados del capítulo 2. Un experimento relacionado con los costes comerciales muestra que fricciones más altas en el comercio distribuye la producción y los factores cercanos a la demanda, reduciendo la ventaja comparativa en regiones más periféricas del mundo. En general, mi tesis doctoral proporciona evidencias claras de las diferencias espaciales en las reacciones (y las consecuencias) del cambio climático en todo el mundo. También argumenta firmemente por la importancia del comercio como mecanismo económico clave detrás de la transmisión de este tipo de choque a los resultados económicos. En los tiempos actuales de globalización rápida, integración de mercados y expansión de redes comerciales, mi tesis muestra que acercar los mercados más aislados en las redes comerciales globales puede tener un papel clave en la mitigación de las consecuencias futuras del cambio climático.
This doctoral thesis answer questions related to the spatial impacts of climate change on economic outcomes. Composed by three independent chapters, it contributes to a literature at the intersection of economic development, economic geography, international trade, and climate change. In Chapter 1, “The Power of Markets: Impact of Desert Locust Invasions on Child Health”, I provide reduced-form evidence of the importance of (access to) markets on the transmission of climate change-led agricultural shocks to human capital accumulation in low-income agricultural economies. Overall, it argues for the importance of addressing local market reactions to this type of agricultural shock when designing public policy. It also conveys clear evidence of the vulnerability of agricultural, low-income economies, to short-term shocks induced by climate change. Hence, it motivates the subsequent chapters, in which I study the long-run economic reactions to and consequences of climate change. In particular, in Chapter 2, “Climate Change and Migration: the case of Africa”, I study the potential economic costs and migration responses to climate change in the context of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) during the next decades. For that, I develop a quantitative spatial framework that captures the role of trade networks and agricultural suitability on the distribution of population and GDP accounting for endogenous adjustments of crop choice and trade. I combine it with detailed geospatial data from SSA to simulate the impact of climate change using forecasts of agricultural productivity in 2080 from FAO. My results suggest that climate change could lead to major migration flows within and across SSA countries, with substantial economic losses associated with it. Moreover, the capacity of adjusting the production mix across different sectors (crops and/or non-agricultural) or high access to markets partially mitigates the impacts of climate change in terms of population outflows. Finally, a policy experiment related to technology adoption in agriculture shows that the adoption of modern inputs in that sector could reverse considerably the negative impacts of climate change. My thesis is concluded with Chapter 3, “Local Sectoral Specialization in a Warming World”, where I study the evolution of the geographical distribution of the world’s economy and climate in a setup where both elements are endogenous to one another. In particular, I embed a mapping between the evolution of economic activity, carbon emissions, and global warming into a dynamic spatial general equilibrium model where spatial innovation drives the dynamics of the evolution of productivities and growth. By simulating the evolution of the world economy for the next centuries, I find a much higher concentration of agricultural activity in northern latitudes (e.g. Siberia and Northern China) if compared to a scenario without global warming. Moreover, in aggregate terms, climate change leads to different patterns of the evolution of sectoral--productivities, economic growth, and specialization into agriculture and urban sectors, in line with some of the results from Chapter 2. A policy experiment related to trade costs shows that higher frictions to trade reallocate production and factors close to the demand, by reducing the comparative advantage in more peripheral regions of the globe. Overall, my doctoral thesis provides clear evidence of the spatial differences in the reactions to (and consequences of) climate change throughout the globe. It also argues firmly for the importance of trade as a key economic mechanism behind the transmission of this sort of shock to economic outcomes. In the present times of fast globalization, integration of markets, and expansion of trade networks, my thesis shows that bringing the most isolated markets closer to the global trade networks can have a key role in mitigating the future consequences of climate change.

Повний текст джерелаAll organizations have impacts that affect economy, society and the natural environment. Academics from different streams of research (i.e. business and society studies, accounting, strategic management) propose several definitions of “social impact” (Latané, 1981; Burdge & Vanclay, 1996; Emerson et al., 2000; Clark et al., 2004). All these definitions describe, more or less explicitly, the concept of “change”, being each one based on the Theory of Change (Weiss, 1972; Anderson, 2004) – i.e., the change that an organization can produce in people’s way of life, culture, personal and property rights, fears and aspirations, but also with respect to community, political systems, environment, health and wellbeing. The measurement of social impact leads the organization to consider the changes on stakeholders as a result of the set of cause-effect relations proposed by the theory of change. The objective of social impact measurement thus is to understand, in social, environmental and economic terms, changes that have occurred in stakeholders’ lives because of organizations activities, in order to communicate it (Nicholls et al, 2009). Despite a growing interest on social impact measurement, academic production in the topic is still scarce. The present Ph.D. thesis contributes to the ongoing discussion by focusing on the theory, concepts and tools to measure social impact. In particular, two context of analysis are at issue: ethical finance and entrepreneurship education. The work consists of three papers. The first research wants to provide a review of the literature on the issue of measuring the social impact in the context of ethical finance, the second paper is an action research on a methodology for measuring the social impact of ethical banks developed through the extreme case study of Banca Popolare Etica, and the third research concerns the context of entrepreneurial education and aims at studying the impact of an MBA program on the antecedents of entrepreneurship intention of students in Ghana. More in details, the first paper is entitled “Review of impact assessment methodologies for ethical finance”. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on measuring the social impact in ethical banks. Specifically, we discuss the approach of ethical banks to social impact and social impact measurement considering several studies and frameworks of analysis, then proposing a list of indicators and outcomes to be used to highlight the social impact of ethical banks’ activities. We also point out some gaps in the literature that we left as questions open for future research. The research was carried on with two partners: the Fédération Européenne des Banques Ethiques et Alternatives (FEBEA) and the Institute of Social banks (ISB). The title of the second paper is: “Measurement of social impact in financial institutions: the case of Banca Popolare Etica”. This is an action research on a methodology for measuring the social impact of ethical banks, grounded on the case study of Banca Popolare Etica. We use a dataset of 1,385 organizations and 1,324 individuals, recipients of funding, to study the measurement of the social impact of the projects funded. Integrating in a single assessment process (both quantitative and qualitative) various methodologies generally singularly used for the measurement of social impact (Social Return on Investment (SROI), Impact Reporting Investment Standards (IRIS) and storytelling), the case shows how the traditional limitations of methodologies to measure social impact can be overcome. The third and last study is entitled “Does entrepreneurial education impact on antecedents of entrepreneurial intention? An analysis of an Entrepreneurship MBA in Ghana”. This study has the aim to analyze the effects of an entrepreneurship education program, on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention of students in a developing country. The study analyzes the results of an impact research conducted with participants to a specific entrepreneurship education program: the “E4impact MBA”, held by the Catholic Institute of Business and Technology – CIBT in Accra, Ghana. The mixed method design employed, was an explanatory approach (Creswell, Plano Clark et al., 2003) with a quasi-experimental design (Cohen and Manion, 1989) featuring both pre-post tests and self-perceived change measures. We assessed changes in entrepreneurial psychological characteristics (Need for achievement, Self-efficacy, Locus of control; Risk taking propensity; Tolerance for ambiguity) and personal skills and knowlwdge (Creativity, Knowledge, Flexibility, Networking and Analysis) following the extended model of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The analysis shows that the entrepreneurship education program has a strong impact on psychological and cognitive antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions. That is, participation in entrepreneurship education program can positively influence students’ entrepreneurial intentions and perceived behavioral control supporting the idea that universities have a key role in shaping and fostering entrepreneurial intentions and abilities through entrepreneurship education program.
