- Smart specialisation evaluation with real project data: a general equilibrium model in Portugal’s Centro regionPublication . Szabó, Norbert; Polónyi-Andor, Krisztina; Sebestyén, Tamás; Pinto, HugoAs the first smart specialisation planning period (2014–2020) ended, monitoring and evaluation became crucial. Analysing the successes and failures of smart specialisation strategy (S3) through a good monitoring and evaluation system contributes to the evidence base on which an efficient redesign and improvement of S3 can be performed. In this paper, we apply an extended version of the geographic, macro and regional (GMR)-Europe economic impact model to provide a real-life evaluation of the implementation of S3 in Centro region using cohesion policy fund data between 2014 and 2023. Simulations reveal that policy instruments and policy mixes of priorities differ in efficiency and identify where improvements are desired.
- Waves of innovation: the role of sustainability in driving impact in the blue economy – a PLS-SEM approachPublication . Elston, Jennifer Nicole; Pinto, Hugo; Nogueira, CarlaThe Blue Economy, with its emphasis on ocean-based industries, is critical for achieving sustainable development. This study investigates the intricate relationship between sustainability, innovation, and their economic, environmental, and social impacts within Portugal’s Blue Economy. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships between sustainability, innovation, and triple bottom line (TBL) outcomes based on survey data from firms operating in the sector. The findings confirm that innovation acts as both a direct outcome of sustainability efforts and a mechanism for mediating its impacts on economic and environmental performance. However, no significant direct or mediating effects were observed for social outcomes, highlighting a persistent gap in this dimension that requires further research. The study contributes to both theory and practice by highlighting the strategic integration of sustainability into organizational innovation processes and its role in enhancing multidimensional performance. By identifying critical pathways and barriers, this study offers valuable guidance for policymakers and industry leaders striving to enhance the long-term sustainability of the Blue Economy.
- Building resilience in tourism firms: evidence from COVID-19Publication . Jesus, Carina; Serra Coelho, Luís Miguel; Ramos, CeliaMultiple factors determine tourism companies' capacity to resist and overcome disruptive events, such as pandemics or wars. This paper investigates this issue using a sensitivity index and finds that reductions in human capital, bigger size, and higher past profitability diminish resilience, while higher leverage and capital intensity strengthen it. Our findings further suggest that these effects differ across countries and underscore the negative consequences of Eurozone membership. This paper broadens our understanding of how companies can improve their resilience, providing valuable insights for future preparedness strategies for tourism firms and policymakers.
- The spillover effect of ADR activity on stock price synchronicity: empirical evidence in emerging marketsPublication . Viana Junior, Dante Baiardo C.This study investigates the intra-industry spillover effect of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuance on the stock price synchronicity of non-ADR firms from emerging markets. Based on a sample of listed firms from six Latin American countries, although I find some evidence of a decrease in stock price synchronicity among ADR issuers in post-ADR issuance periods, the main findings suggest that non-ADR firms from industries with ADR issuance activity have higher levels of synchronicity on average than non-ADR firms from industries with no ADR issuance activity. These cross-country average results are robust to different regression methods and alternative subsamples employed to mitigate endogeneity concerns. Even though this trend is confirmed for the majority of the Latin American countries under review, individual-country analyses indicate a synchronicity-decreasing effect of ADR industry activity, particularly for non-ADR Chilean firms. Complementary, more in-depth empirical analyses suggest that country-level factors and ADR firm characteristics play an essential role in this issue. My main findings document that the overall positive spillover effect of ADR activity on the stock price synchronicity of non-ADR firms in Latin America is non-monotonic. These exploratory findings contribute to the active debate regarding the impact of ADR issuance on local economies, particularly with respect to the informativeness of financial reporting available in the capital markets.
- Tri-Collab: a machine learning project to leverage innovation ecosystems in PortugalPublication . Marujo, Ângelo; Afonso, Bruno; Martins, Inês; Pires, Lisandro; Fernandes, Silvia C. Pinto de BritoThis project consists of a digital platform named Tri-Collab, where investors, entrepreneurs, and other agents (mainly talents) can cooperate on their ideas and eventually co-create. It is a digital means for this triad of actors (among other potential ones) to better adjust their requirements. It includes an app that easily communicates with a database of projects, innovation agents and their profiles, and the originality lies in the matching algorithm. Thus, co-creation can have better support through this assertive interconnection of players and their resources. This work also highlights the usefulness of the Canvas Business Model in structuring the idea and its dashboard, allowing a comprehensive view of channels, challenges and gains. Also, the potential of machine learning in improving matchmaking platforms is discussed, especially when technological advancements allow for forecasts and match people at scale.
- The relationship between time pressure, ethical culture and audit qualityPublication . Samagaio, Antonio; Morais Francisco, Paulo; Felício, Teresa; Matos, Pedro VergaPurposeThis study aims to analyze the effect of time pressure and the ethical culture of audit firms on audit quality expressed through professional skepticism and reduced audit quality practices (RAQP). Furthermore, the study explores the moderating role of ethical culture in the relationship between the remaining variables.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a sample of 96 auditors, whose data were collected through an electronic questionnaire. The results were derived from the partial least squares-structural equation modeling method and necessity condition analysis.FindingsThe results show that the propensity to incur RAQP increases when auditors are subject to a context of greater time pressure and weak ethical culture. Moreover, ethical culture is positively associated with the auditors' skepticism trait. The study shows that ethical culture is a necessary condition for professional skepticism, and that time pressure is also a factor that must be present for RAQP to occur. We found no evidence that the skeptical trait is influenced by time pressure and that ethical culture moderates the relationship between time pressure and audit quality.Originality/valueThis study reinforces the empirical evidence that the characteristics of audit firms are relevant in improving audit quality. By combining the logics of sufficiency and necessity, it is possible to better understand the causal relationship between audit quality, time pressure and ethical culture, advancing the theorization of the phenomena observed in auditing firms. The findings of this work are equally valuable for regulators and auditing firms to take initiatives to improve their performance in order to reinforce their social function.
- How do GCC countries stocks interact with US and European debt markets?Publication . Hanif, Waqas; Khoury, Rim El; Gubareva, MariyaThis study conducts a comprehensive analysis of interconnectedness in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) equity markets and global bond markets, primarily focusing on European Monetary Union (EMU) and US bonds, from July 2007 to September 2023. Using innovative methodologies such as quantile connectedness and quantile coherency, we capture the dynamic relationships across different market conditions, particularly during extreme events. The quantile connectedness includes a moderate to low degree of interconnectedness during normal market conditions, intensifying during extreme market conditions. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia are identified as influential players, transcending borders to impact returns in other GCC markets. Roles of GCC countries as net transmitters or receivers of returns shift over time, necessitating adaptable investment strategies. The interconnectedness of GCC markets with bonds responds differently to global crises and turbulences, including geopolitical and health crises. Our quantile coherence analysis provides insights for risk management and portfolio allocation. These findings have crucial implications for investors, encouraging adaptive asset allocation strategies, and for policymakers to monitor intra-regional spillovers in shaping market dynamics.
- Sensory experience of visitors with hearing impairment on a rural island destinationPublication . Chan, Chung-Shing; Wong, Shing Yan; Tam, Veleda; MIGUEL AGAPITO, DORA LÚCIAThis study aims to examine the sensory experiences of visitors with hearing impairment (HI) in the context of a rural destination. A series of field visits have been run over four seasons at the island of Yim Tin Tsai (YTT) in Hong Kong, involving 85 participants without impairment and 78 participants with HI. Spatial mapping and focus group discussions have been employed to perceive their sensory impressions and appraisals of YTT. The empirical data collected offers opportunities for in-depth examination of multisensory experiences of visitors with HI from a spatial perspective, as well as any differences with participants without impairment regarding their sensory perceptions. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of offering a vivid multisensory environment by preserving and utilizing the natural landscape, such that visitors with HI can be left with a fulfilling and rewarding experience.
- Building company resilience: Determinants in the tourism industryPublication . Jesus, Carina; Serra Coelho, Luís Miguel; Ramos, CeliaWhat characteristics enable a company in the tourism industry to withstand and recover from disruptive events such as a global pandemic or a war? How can these firms enhance their resilience? This paper presents a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed publications on company resilience within the tourism industry to address these critical questions. Despite the current significance of these topics, existing research is fragmented and unconsolidated. Our findings reveal a range of perspectives and factors that influence company resilience, with clear evidence that human capital plays a pivotal role in the tourism industry’s ability to remain resilient. We also identify theoretical and practical implications, along with directions for future research.
- User-generated content and its impact on purchase intent for tourism products: a comparative analysis of millennials and centennials on tiktokPublication . Ramos, Eva Correia; Ramos, CeliaIn an increasingly technological society, online social networks are essential to support consumer purchasing decisions, primarily through User Generated Content (UGC). In this research, we look at the influence of UGC on purchase intent applied to the tourism product on the TikTok social network. In this sense, a survey was applied to TikTok users aged between 18 and 42 to compare their behaviour with that of the two generations: Millennials and Centennials. The results indicate a relationship of influence between credibility and the usefulness of information and between usefulness and social influence on the intention to buy tourism products and services. In addition, a comparison was made between the results of the sample of individuals belonging to the Millennial Generation and the sample of individuals belonging to the Centennial Generation, with the main discrepancy in the results being the relationship between the need for information and the usefulness of information. These insights pave the way for further research aimed at establishing more robust conclusions in this area.
