Employment and SMEs during crises
Varum, C.A.; Rocha, V.C.The persistent increasing duration of unemployment has become an issue during economic crises. Although lay-offs at large firms normally make headlines during crises, we still know little about the potential impact of firm size on adjustment behavior in a crisis. We studied effects of firm size on employment growth during economic slowdowns using a rich microeconomic database for the 1988-2007 period in Portugu...
Do foreign and domestic firms behave any different during economic slowdowns?
Varum, C.A.; Rocha, V.C.B.The global crisis has called to further reflection on the role of multinationals in host economies during crisis. The evidence on this matter is scarce and no definite conclusions were achieved. Using panel data analysis, this paper examines the link between foreign ownership, firm employment and turnover growth over 20 years and during economic downturns in particular. We analyse the determinants of firm emplo...
Innovation and internationalisation: a simultaneous equation approach
Varum, C. A.; Banno, M.; Vezzoli, M.; Carpita, M.Innovation virtuously impacts on the degree of international growth, which in turn positively influences innovation activities and then firms’ performance. Many authors have tried to identify and explain the relationship between these two phenomena at firm level. Only recently, few empirical studies investigate them at a more aggregate level.

Directions in entrepreneurship education in Europe
Rizza, C.; Varum, C. A.An extraordinary proliferation of entrepreneurship courses and programs was and still is underway in colleges and universities worldwide. In Europe this phenomenon has been further stimulated by the focus on Entrepreneurship as key objective for the implementation of the Europe2020 strategy (EC, 2010). This paper provides a systematized overview of patterns and directions in EE in Europe in recent years. We con...
Firm's characteristics, public support and foreign direct investment
Torres, M. M.; Varum, C. A.Firms competencies and needs may determine movements to foreign locations. Firms may use their own resources to establish or maintain activities of foreign direct investment, or otherwise when internal resources are insu cient they may apply for external support provided by governments. With a binary probit model applied on a recent survey, a Bayesian lter calculates the probability of a given characteristic's...
Inside the entrepreneur's mind: an investigation of the perceived importance of...
Torres, M. M.; Varum, C. A.An interesting debate is now taking place among scholars and policy makers about the value of public support for internationalization activities. These incentives have been applied in many countries to stimulate not only the exports but also foreign direct investments, but the results are not clear. Governments must ensure that beyond the increase of a country's competitiveness, public support also will promote...
