The decisions of Spanish youth : a cross-section study
The original publication is available at www.springerlink.comThis paper presents a simultaneous model for the joint decisions of working, studying and leaving the parental household by young people in Spain. Using cross-section data from the 1990–1991 Encuesta de Presupuestos Familiares, the model is estimated by a two stage estimation method. Endogeneity of the three decisions proves to be important in order to understand the dynamics of household formation. Our results also confirm a number of plausible intuitions about the effect of individual characteristics and economic variables on these decisions, and provide some new insights into the reasons for young people in Spain remaining in large numbers in the parental home. Most of the results are gender independent.Publicad

Blockchain adoption: Technological, organisational and environmental considerations
Information technology (IT) innovation is rapidly reshaping organisations,
affecting fundamental aspects of their everyday business activities and processes. This
development is accompanied by benefits as well as challenges. In this article, we focus on a
specific distributed ledger IT called blockchain which has been heralded as possessing the
capability to radically transform a multitude of industries. However, there is a dearth of
research which has coalesced the important considerations that organisations should consider
prior to adopting blockchain technologies. Consequently, using innovation theory, which has
been extensively used to examine the adoption of IT in organisations, we identify salient
technological, organisational and environmental (TOE) considerations which influence the
adoption of blockchain by organisations. We anchor our discussion using the top three
organisational considerations which emerged from our research: top management support,
organisational readiness, and organisational support. We also provide an overview of the
blockchain concept and outline the advantages and potential use cases that organisations
contemplating adopting the technology can leverage.Peer reviewed2022-01-0
