In this article, we examine the impact of terrorist attacks on asylum-related migration flows. So far, the literature that examines the "push factors" such as terrorism that explain forced migration has omitted the fact that the vast majority of people forced to flee typically do so toward other locations within the country. The novel feature of our research is the estimation of a structural gravity equation that includes both international migration and internally displaced persons (IDP), a theoretically consistent framework that allows us to identify country-specific variables such as terror attacks. For that purpose, we use information on the number of asylum applications, the number of IDP, and the number of terrorist attacks in each country for a sample of 119 origin developing countries and 141 destination countries over 2009–2018. The empirical results reveal several interesting and policy-relevant traits. Firstly, forced migration abroad is still minimal compared to IDP, but globalization forces are pushing up the ratio. Secondly, terror violence has a positive and significant effect on asylum migration flows relative to the number of IDP. Thirdly, omitting internally displaced people biases downward the impact of terrorism on asylum applications. Fourthly, we observe regional heterogeneity in the effect of terrorism on asylum migration flows; in Latin America, terrorist attacks have a much larger impact on the number of asylum applications relative to IDP than in Asia or Africa.

[EN] This study examines the effect of online social talent on business performance. The paper uses data from a selected sample of 296 companies from the S&P 500 list with active corporate profiles on LinkedIn. The empirical design consists of non-linear techniques to test the hypothesis that financial performance (i.e., revenue) and online social talent (i.e., employee online profile and skills) have a positive and non-linear relationship. The findings show that internal online social talent measured by employees' online profiles, and their skills are positively associated with companies' financial performance. The study provides insights into talent management in the digital age and elucidates the role of online corporate social networking in business performance. ; This research was funded by MICINN (Spanish Government), grant number RTI2018-100899-B-I00 and Generalitat Valenciana, grant number GV/2020/012. ; Paniagua, J.; Peris-Ortiz, M.; Korzynski, P.

AbstractBuilding on legitimacy and social strategy theories, this research proposes a conceptual and empirical framework that links social entrepreneurial activity (SEA) with foreign direct investment (FDI). Investing in foreign countries with a high degree of SEA contributes to increasing foreign investors' legitimacy. Additionally, firms may consider SEA as a constituent of their social strategy. A key contribution of this study is the comprehensive conceptual framework used to analyze the link between social entrepreneurship and international business. The second key contribution is the econometric analysis of SEA's effect on greenfield FDI, foreign employment, and foreign projects. The estimation results of the gravity equation suggest that social entrepreneurship fosters FDI. This research offers theoretical insight on legitimacy theory's relevance in explaining the link between FDI and SEA. Copyright © 2015 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The present work reassesses the impact of good governance and democracy on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in oil-abundant countries. To this end, we estimate the effect of host countries' institutions on greenfield FDI, using a gravity equation for a dataset that covers 182 countries during 2003-2012. Our findings confirm that compliance to rule of law, lack of corruption, political stability and democracy could boost new FDI links through the extensive margin. Our results could not rule out the "oil curse", meaning that oil producers attract fewer new greenfield projects than similar countries without oil. Unlike other studies, we show that the impact of institutions is not necessarily undermined by the presence of natural resources. ; This work was supported by: Consejería de Economía, Innovación, Ciencia y Empleo, Junta de Andalucía [SEJ 340], Forum Euromediterraneen des Instituts de Sciences Economiques [FEM41-07], Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Gobierno de España [ECO2015-68057-R]; and Generalitat Valenciana [GV/2017/052].

Macro talent management incorporates activities aimed at attracting, mobilizing, developing, and retaining top talent within an organization. As such, it has also major implications for organizations, including multinational enterprises and nongovernmental organizations, and individuals, as well as countries. This book takes the analysis of macro talent management to the country level in developed markets. It brings together research from fields of human resource management, international business, economic geography, comparative international development, and political economy, and was written by a range of leading experts from around the world. Macro Talent Management acts as a guide for practitioners looking to their country's global competitiveness, attractiveness, and economic development through strategic talent management, and a key text for students studying in the field. ; Postprint (author's final draft)
