Bridging Regional Divides in Decarbonization: Firm Strategies, Policy Tensions,...
Vale, Mário; Alves, Tiago; Fontes, Margarida; Mamede, Ricardo; Bento, NunoABSTRACT: The transition to a low-carbon economy is shaped by structural tensions and trade-offs that impact firms, regions, and policymakers. A central challenge is balancing regional equity, industrial specialization, and technological innovation in decarbonization policies (Markard & Rosenbloom, 2022). This study critically examines these tensions by analysing firm-level decarbonization strategies within the...
Critical transitions: Unpacking decarbonization strategies in Portuguese indust...
Vale, Mário; Alves, Tiago; Duarte de Castro Fontes, Maria Margarida; Mamede, Ricardo; Bento, NunoABSTRACT: In the wake of the Paris Agreement, the urgency for decarbonization has intensified globally, prompting varied responses from different regions and sectors. This study critically examines the uneven decarbonization trajectories of Portuguese firms within the framework of the Portugal 2020 (PT2020) program, informed by transition theory and regional innovation systems. Employing a multi-method approach...
Predictors for changing to a non-Nursing profession
Poeira, Ana; Mamede, Ricardo; Martins, MMBackground: Nurses’ predisposition to change their profession lies within the scope of nurse turnover. Understanding the reasons why nurses want to switch to another organization or even leave the profession is important because this movement has a negative impact on the workgroup and the organization. Objective: To determine the propensity to leave the nursing profession. Methodology: Descriptive, correlationa...
Multiplicity-free skew Schur functions with full interval support
Azenhas, Olga; Conflitti, Alessandro; Mamede, RicardoIt is known that the Schur expansion of a skew Schur function runs over the interval of partitions, equipped with dominance order, defined by the least and the most dominant Littlewood-Richardson filling of the skew shape. We characterise skew Schur functions (and therefore the product of two Schur functions) which are multiplicity-free and the resulting Schur expansion runs over the whole interval of partition...
Financialization in the European Periphery and the Sovereign Debt Crisis: The P...
Barradas, Ricardo; Lagoa, Sérgio; Leão, Emanuel; Mamede, RicardoThe financial sector has acquired great prominence in most developed economies. Some authors argue that the growth of finance is at the root of the financial and economic difficulties of the past decade. This article aims to analyze this claim by looking at financialization in the European periphery, focusing on the Portuguese case. The emergence of this phenomenon is contextualized from a historical, economic ...
Gray codes for noncrossing and nonnesting partitions of classical types
Conflitti, Alessandro; Mamede, RicardoIn this paper, we present Gray codes for the sets of noncrossing partitions associated with the classical Weyl groups, and for the set of nonnesting partitions of type B. An algorithm for the generation of type D nonnesting partitions is developed in which a Gray code is given for those partitions having a zero-block, while the remaining are arranged in lexicographic order.
The Long Boom and the Early Bust: The Portuguese Economy in the Era of Financia...
Barradas, Ricardo; Mamede, Ricardo; Lagoa, Sérgio; Leão, EmanuelThis chapter expands the authors’ previous work on the Portuguese financial system’s evolutions in the past three decades. In that work they extensively documented the various signs of financialisation in the Portuguese economy. Now the authors focus on the effects of financialisation in Portugal on the long-run macroeconomic development and on the financial and economic crises that hit the country in recent ye...
Gray codes and lexicographical combinatorial generation for nonnesting and spar...
Conflitti, Alessandro; Mamede, RicardoWe present combinatorial Gray codes and explicit designs of efficient algorithms for lexicographical combinatorial generation of the sets of nonnesting and sparse nonnesting set partitions of length n.

Barradas, Ricardo; Lagoa, Sérgio; Leão, Emanuel; Mamede, RicardoThe financial sector has acquired great prominence in most developed economies. However, some authors argue that the growth of finance is at the root of the current financial and economic difficulties. This paper aims to analyse this claim by looking at financialisation in the European periphery, focusing on the Portuguese case. The emergence of this phenomenon is contextualised from a historical, economic and ...
Dominant Shi regions with a fixed separating wall: bijective enumeration
Conflitti, Alessandro; Mamede, RicardoWe present a purely combinatorial proof by means of an explicit bijection, of the exact number of dominant regions having as a separating wall the hyperplane associated to the longest root in the m-extended Shi hyperplane arrangement of type A and dimension n-1.
