Mestrado em Ecoconomia ; After the 1970s recession we have been observing in the 1980s several sharo changes in the structures of our societies. The emergence of a new wave of technologies, the intensification of international competition and the relative change of the governments roles in the post-Welfare State era some of these transformations. In this new context the traditional role of universities (suppliyng graduates, production and reproduction of knowledge) has also been changing. The responsiveness of universities to the needs of the comunity has been increasing and the colaboration with the business world has meant a relative "industrialization" of higher education institutions. How can these changes affect the Portuguese University? What impacts can we expect in a small semi-industrialized country, witn an economy lergely dependent on external markets? Through a case-study of one of the largest Portuguese universities (the Technical University of Lisbon) an examination will be made of the possible role of the University in the new context, how the country specific features may mean new opportunities for a intentional action, on the part of the University. Thios action has two basic directions: (i) transfer of tecnhology to upgrade the technological level of industry; (ii) cultural intervention, changing minds and attitudes in a low-risk proxe environment ; N/A

We empirically investigate the impact of government debt on corporate financing decisions in an international setting. We show a negative relation between government debt and corporate leverage using data on 40 countries between 1990–2014. This negative relation is stronger for government debt that is financed domestically, for firms that are larger and more profitable, and in countries with more developed equity markets. To address potential endogeneity concerns, we use an instrumental variable approach based on military spending and a quasi-natural experiment based on the introduction of the Euro currency. Our findings suggest that government debt crowds out corporate debt. ; authorsversion ; published

The purpose of this study is to analyze how the dynamics of the political dynasty of the harahap clan government in North Padang Lawas, and how the North Padang Lawas people's response to the system of government political dynasties formed in the district. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The informants in this study were selected using purposive sampling, namely by collecting accurate data or information related to the political dynasty of the North Padang Lawas government through individuals who are believed to have sources of accurate information related to research data. The results of this study indicate that the process of political dynasties in North Padang Lawas was formed due to several reasons. The first is from family relations (familism) obtained both in continguity and marriage. Second, political dynasties are formed through the popularity of prospective leaders. Third, political dynasties are formed from the experiences created by the leaders themselves in the previous period (the quality of leadership) that builds people's trust. Lastly, political dynasties could have been formed due to the influence of the demographic composition of the people who inhabit Paluta district itself, for example the domisioner clan (clan) that inhabited the district, namely the harahap clan. Furthermore, related to the problems above, the community responded with different views, namely positive sentiments and negative sentiments, including: a political dynasty can be a threat to us Indonesians, especially the North Padang Lawas district because it can endanger social mobilization and damage the regeneration of political journeys, as well as the occurrence of practical and dirty political practice.
