INTRA‐REGIONAL WAGE INEQUALITY IN PORTUGAL
Pereira, João; Galego, AuroraStudies on intra‐regional inequality are scarce, particularly for European countries. This paper aims at further investigating inequality by focusing on wage differences within regions. We consider the case of Portugal, which is considered one of the countries with the highest economic inequality. In particular, we analyse the evolution of intra‐regional wage inequality between 1995 and 2005, employing the quan...
Inter-Regional Wage Differentials in Portugal: An Analysis Across the Wage Dist...
Pereira, João; Galego, AuroraTypically, studies on regional wage differentials are based on ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates. Quantile regression is an alternative approach which allows these differences to be studied across the whole wage distribution. In this study, the quantile regression framework is considered for the analysis of regional wage differences in Portugal. The findings reveal significant differences in wage equations...
Analysing the Employability of Business and Administration Study Programs in Po...
Galego, Aurora; Saraiva, MargaridaThis paper investigates the impact of institutions and study programs characteristics on the employability of higher education graduates. We consider the field of Business and Administration in Portugal, and employ an econometric fractional model to analyse the influence of several indicators in the unemployment “propensity” of the pair study program/institution. The results show important differences between p...
Institutional and Economical determinants of FDI: a comparison between the Eur...
Galego, Aurora; Caetano, JoséFDI flows to the MENA region have been relatively low when compared to neighboring countries. This paper aims at investigating whether there are significant region-specific factors for FDI performance in MENA and EU regions. We employ a panel data approach and use the inward FDI performance index as dependent variable, including both institutional and macroeconomic variables as FDI determinants. The results rev...
Uma Análise do Tempo de Procura de Emprego dos Recém-Licenciados pela Universid...
Galego, Aurora; Caleiro, AntónioNa avaliação da qualidade ou desempenho das universidades, as questões associadas com o sucesso na procura de emprego por parte dos seus diplomados têm vindo a ganhar importância dada a evolução na configuração jurídica das universidades. Para além disso, nos últimos anos, tem sido cada vez mais difícil para os licenciados encontrar o seu primeiro emprego, na sequência do agravamento das condições do mercado de...
Understanding the transition to work for first degree university graduates in P...
Galego, Aurora; Caleiro, AntónioA traditional way of looking at the importance of universities assumes that these are sources of positive effects from the viewpoint of the inputs. In accordance to this perspective, the importance of a university can be measured by its regional/national multiplier effects. This perspective can be complemented with the analysis of the issues associated with the transition to work by their graduates. The paper t...
Regional wage differentials in Portugal: Static and dynamic approaches
Pereira, João; Galego, AuroraThis work aims to study regional wage differentials from both a static and a dynamic perspective. The usual Blinder and Oaxaca static decomposition does not provide clear information about the factors which explain changes in regional wage differentials over the years. To overcome this problem the Juhn, Murphy and Pierce decomposition is employed. The paper analyses the case of Portugal for 1995 and 2002. The r...
EVIDENCE ON GENDER WAGE DISCRIMINATION IN PORTUGAL: PARAMETRIC AND SEMI-PARAMET...
Galego, Aurora; Pereira, JoãoIn this paper we consider several alternative approaches to analyze gender wage discrimination. Besides the traditional OLS estimator, we use two other approaches to control for sample selection bias problems: the parametric procedure suggested by Vella and Wooldridge, and the Li and Wooldridge semi-parametric estimator. We study the case of Portugal, employing data from the European Community Household Panel. ...
Understanding the Transition to Work for First Degree University Graduates in P...
Galego, Aurora; Caleiro, AntónioA traditional way of looking at the importance of universities assumes that these are sources of many positive effects from the point of view of the inputs, i.e. from a demand side perspective. In accordance to this perspective, the importance of a university can be measured by its multiplier effects, at a regional or national level. This perspective can be complemented with the analysis of the issues associate...
IN SEARCH FOR THE DETERMINANTS OF INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE WITHIN AN ENLARGED EUROPE
Caetano, José; Galego, AuroraIn this paper we characterise the dynamics of trade among Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) and the EU using several methodologies that evaluate the type of trade and price-quality ranges. The analysis shows a significant decline in inter-industrial trade and an increasing specialisation in vertical intraindustry trade (IIT). Moreover, we found substantial differences in the unit values of exported ...
