Análisis del endeudamiento empresarial a nivel europeo

[Resumen] A través de este estudio pretendemos abordar un tema muy importante y recurrente en el área de finanzas como es el de los factores que influyen en el nivel de endeudamiento de las empresas. Numerosos estudios han señalado desde mediados de los años 90 que la principal variable explicativa del endeudamiento es el propio sector al que pertenecen las empresas; en el sentido de que las empresas que pertenecen a un mismo sector productivo presentarían un endeudamiento más o menos similar. Sin embargo desde los años 2000 y ya con la crisis económica en la que nos encontramos sumergidos, esto ha cambiado y se ha dejado de considerar el que podríamos denominar “efecto sector” pasando a introducir nuevas variables, entre las que destacan las características propias de los países. Atendiendo a esto se ha elaborado un análisis econométrico incorporando variables de ambos tipos – firma y país – para los sectores de la construcción y manufacturas, tomando como muestra, datos de los siete países principales de la U.E. De este análisis se ha concluido que ambos grupos de variables son importantes a la hora de entender el apalancamiento financiero.[Abstract] Through this study we are going to approach a very important and recurring topic in the area of finance, wich is the factors that influence on the level of corporate debt issue. Numerous studies have pointed out since the mid-90s that the main explanatory variable is the companies´s sector in the sense that companies which belong to the same productive sector are going to present similar indebtedness. However, since the 2000s and now with the economic crisis this has changed, and authors are considerating other factors and introducing new variables like the characteristics of features countries. In response to this, we have developed an econometric analysis, incorporating both types of variables - firm and country - for the sectors of construction and manufacturing, taking as sample data of seven major EU countries. From this analysis we have concluded that both sets of variables are important to understand the financial leverage.Traballo fin de mestrado (UDC.ECO). Banca e finanzas. Curso 2013/201

STEMbach Experiences at Higher Education

This work was performed in the scope of the “STEM is inspiring future careers” project (2021-1-ES01-KA220-SCH-000031524), Erasmus + Program.[Abstract]: The aim of this work is to describe several experiences of STEMbach in different areas: engineering, economics, materials, etc. The STEMbach is a program carried out by high school students during their two years of study to obtain their High School Diploma (equivalent to A-levels), designed for both the Humanities and Sciences modalities, and created alongside the Galician strategy for digital education. It encourages the vocation of the scholars towards scientific and technological research and allows a connection directly with the college education. The STEM works explained in this work were developed between the University of A Coruña and several high schools located in the region of Galicia (North-West of Spain). Results were very constructive for promoting STEM careers

Healthcare workers hospitalized due to COVID-19 have no higher risk of death than general population. Data from the Spanish SEMI-COVID-19 Registry

Aim To determine whether healthcare workers (HCW) hospitalized in Spain due to COVID-19 have a worse prognosis than non-healthcare workers (NHCW). Methods Observational cohort study based on the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide registry that collects sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data on patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Spain. Patients aged 20-65 years were selected. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with mortality. Results As of 22 May 2020, 4393 patients were included, of whom 419 (9.5%) were HCW. Median (interquartile range) age of HCW was 52 (15) years and 62.4% were women. Prevalence of comorbidities and severe radiological findings upon admission were less frequent in HCW. There were no difference in need of respiratory support and admission to intensive care unit, but occurrence of sepsis and in-hospital mortality was lower in HCW (1.7% vs. 3.9%; p = 0.024 and 0.7% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001 respectively). Age, male sex and comorbidity, were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and healthcare working with lower mortality (OR 0.211, 95%CI 0.067-0.667, p = 0.008). 30-days survival was higher in HCW (0.968 vs. 0.851 p<0.001). Conclusions Hospitalized COVID-19 HCW had fewer comorbidities and a better prognosis than NHCW. Our results suggest that professional exposure to COVID-19 in HCW does not carry more clinical severity nor mortality

Valuation of a company producing and trading seaweed for human consumption: classical methods vs. real options

Aquaculture is an increasingly relevant sector in the exploitation of natural resources; therefore, it is appropriate to propose various models that include the fundamental variables for its economic-financial valuation from a business point of view. The objective of this paper is to analyze different models for the valuation of investment projects in a company in the aquaculture sector in order to conclude whether there is a model that represents a better valuation. Therefore, in this study, four valuation models have been applied, three classical models (net present value, internal rate of return, and payback) and a more recent model, real options (RO) for a company producing and marketing seaweed in Galicia (region located in the northwest of Spain). The results obtained, RO (€5,527,144.04) and net present value (€5,479,659.19), conclude that the RO model estimates a higher added value by taking into account in its calculations the flexibility given by the expansion option. Future lines of research include the application of valuation models that have been applied to companies belonging to the same sector in order to compare whether the results found are similar.Xunta de Galicia | Ref.
