Effects of regional accessibility on productivity
The relationship between transport infrastructure and accessibility has long stood as a central research area in regional and transport economics. Often invoked by governments to justify large public spending on infrastructure, the study of this relationship has led to conflicting arguments on the role that transport plays in productivity. This paper expands the existing body of knowledge by adopting a spatial analysis (with spillover effects) th…
High-tech firms
We examine whether the dividend policy of high-tech firms is explained by ESG performance in the triple ESG components (environmental, social, and governance). Using a panel of US-based firms in the technology sector from 2002 to 2021, we find that better ESG scores are linked with a higher likelihood of dividend payments, stability of the amount paid, and implied shareholder returns from the dividend yield. R&D intensity is a constraint of divid…

Aftermath of the sovereign debt crisis, the new challenges to competitiveness in Portugal
This paper focuses on the interconnections between sovereign debt and the competitiveness of nations in the aftermath of the recent sovereign debt crises in the Eurozone. Further, it identifies new challenges to improving competitiveness. Based on a deductive approach, we analyse secondary data regarding sovereign debt and competitiveness in 28 EU countries for the period from 2006 to 2017. We also look at the recent theoretical developments in t…
The entanglement of time and cost deviations in public projects
There is growing concern regarding cost and time overruns in public projects. However, despite the extensive literature on the subject, there is relatively little research on the impact of time overruns on cost overruns. This study assesses whether larger time deviations can lead to larger cost deviations. Our hypothesis is that a project with a time overrun is more likely to also have a cost overrun. The authors used a sample of 208 projects in …
