The disposition effect among mutual fund participants : a re- examination

Using information on mutual fund trades executed from 1998 to 2017 by 31,513 individual investor clients of a major Portuguese financial institution, we study the relationship between the disposition effect, financial literacy and trading experience. We find that mutual fund investors exhibit strong disposition effect. The tendency to hold losers is partially offset with literacy: not only holding a university degree reduces the propensity to hold on to loser funds but also higher financial knowledge and stronger math skills reduce the disposition effect. Literacy also plays a role in shaping the way experience affects this bias. Evidence of the disposition effect persists after accounting for redemption fees, bad emotions, irrational beliefs, market sentiment and the existence of someone to blame.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

“This is England?”: England and its identities through the lens of the Heritage Film in the panorama of cultural tourism

Este ensaio visa debater um género cinematográco que tem sido discutido no âmbito do cinema inglês (mas não só), o heritage film, incidindo no modo como este tem projetado uma imagem particular da Inglaterra e da sociedade inglesa. Pretende-se questionar a projeção para o mundo de uma certa imagem da identidade inglesa fundada na ideia nostálgica do Império. Neste sentido, incidir-se-á sobre a forma como muitos dos filmes produzidos ou co-produzidos em Inglaterra nos últimos trinta a quarenta anos fazem uso do património cultural (arquitetónico, natural, histórico) do país, perpetuando uma certa ideia nostálgica daquilo que constitui a identidade inglesa e ajudando a promover essa ideia do país no exterior, algo que é também aproveitado pela indústria turística.This paper aims to discuss a [lm genre that has been debated in the context of Brit- ish [lm (but not only), the ‘heritage [lm’, focusing on how it has projected a partic- ular image of England and of English society. We intend to question the projection for the world of a speci[c image of English identity founded on the nostalgic idea of the Empire. In this sense, focus will be on the way many of the [lms produced or co-produced in England in the last thirty to forty years make use of the country’s cultural heritage (architectural, natural, historical), perpetuating a certain nostalgic idea of what English identity is and helping to promote this idea of the country abroad, something that is also utilized by the tourism industry.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologi

«Ma maison est ici»: l’intersection entre la race et le genre dans le roman Brick Lane de Monica Ali et dans le filme de Sarah Gavron

Este artigo pretende questionar a representação da identidade a partir da perspectiva da raça e do género, assumindo, pois, como fundamental a intersecção entre estas duas variáveis na sua análise. Parte-se do princípio de que a variável de género poderá introduzir alterações na perspectiva do que é a integração multicultural no âmbito das sociedades ocidentais. Usaremos como objecto de análise nesta discussão o romance Brick Lane de Monica Ali e o filme com o mesmo título de Sarah Gavron.This essay aims at questioning the representation of identity from the dual perspective of race and gender, assuming in its analysis that the intersection between the two variants is fundamental. The article takes into consideration that gender is an important variant that may introduce changes in the way we view multicultural integration within western societies. The novel Brick Lane, by Monica Ali, as well as the film under the same title by Sarah Gavron will serve as our objects of analysis in this discussion.Cet essai vise à questionner la représentation de l’identité du point de vue de la race et du genre, en assumant comme essentielle l’intersection entre les deux catégories. On part, donc, du principe que la catégorie du genre pourra introduire des altérations dans la perspective de ce qui constitue l’intégration multiculturelle au sein des sociétés occidentales. Le roman Brick Lane, de Monica Ali et le film avec le même titre de Sarah Gavron seront nos objets d’analyse en cette discussion

Transnational adaptations: the nineteenth-century novel revisited through a transcultural lens

"The many languages of comparative literature: collected papers of the 21st Congress of the ICLA. Vol. 5 - Dialogues between Media"This article aims to address issues of adaptation from the point of view of transcultural and transhistorical film adaptations of classic nineteenth-century realist novels. I propose to discuss a number of these adaptations, taking into account production aspects as well as stylistic elements that enhance the trans national/global angle of the films. There are many examples of these, including the popular Bride and Prejudice (2004), an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel by director Gurinder Chadha, or the film Trishna, directed by Michael Winterbottom (2012), which is based on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. We can call them transcultural and transhistorical adaptations, since they relocate the narra tives that inspired them to different geographical and historical settings. We will frame our discussion of these adaptations using theories of adaptation, namely those of Linda Hutcheon and Robert Stam, as well as within a discussion of trans-national film studies.(undefined
