Using data from 141 countries, this paper identifies the variables that best characterize banking regulation and supervision practices around the world. A nonlinear principal components analysis with optimal variable transformation is used to deal with the mixed measurement levels of the variables and to reduce data dimensionality; and results robustness is tested for different subsamples. Deposit insurance, li...

O sextortion, tal como o cibercrime em geral, é um crime que tem vindo a sofrer um aumento da prevalência, manifestando o Direito dificuldades na sua tipificação e diferenciação em relação a outros tipos de crime. Deste modo, este artigo visa realizar uma abordagem reflexiva sobre a imputação da responsabilidade criminal em Portugal, procurando uniformizar a sua tipificação e evitar divergências doutrinais. Na ...
This article provides empirical evidence on the zero-leverage phenomenon for a sample of European listed firms for the period 1995–2016. It is shown that there are two types of firms with zero leverage: the financially constrained firms that face obstacles in obtaining external finance, as predicted by the financial constraints hypothesis; and the financially unconstrained firms that maintain zero leverage as a...

Esta investigação procura delinear o caminho conducente à adoção de um novo modelo na formação e obtenção de oficiais técnicos do Exército e, concomitantemente, analisar e propor um modelo de formação que vise uma correta preparação dos quadros de oficiais técnicos. Inicia-se com a comparação dos modelos, atualmente, adotados pela Marinha e pela Força Aérea, avaliando a exequibilidade de uma adaptação dos model...
Banks’ stability can be affected by economic fluctuations, banks’ risktaking behavior, connections among banks and countries’ financial system structure. At the same time, banking regulation and supervision were designed to protect banks from failure, but a large number of banking crises were not prevented recently. Using binary response models for panel data and focusing on OECD countries, this paper studies t...
In this article, we investigate the influence of family ownership on firm leverage across different subgroups of family and non-family firms. In addition, we examine the influence of firm size, geographical location and the 2008 global financial crisis on the capital structure of family firms. In both cases, we study the probability of firms using debt and, conditional on its use, the proportion of debt issued....
Fractional regression models are effective when the variable of interest appears in the form of proportion or fraction or rate. In other words, use of fractional regression models becomes appropriate when the dependent variable is defined only on the standard unit interval. This paper surveys fractional regression models, and studies efficiency scores of manufacturing firms of Portugal, Greece, France, and Germ...
O contexto dos últimos anos conferiu ao incumprimento registado no crédito concedido a clientes uma monitorização e controlo mais frequentes, emergindo a necessidade de estreitar a aplicação das normas contabilísticas vigentes para o reconhecimento destas situações. O volume de crédito vencido cresceu com o aumento das dificuldades financeiras sentidas por famílias e empresas e esta passou a ser uma medida cons...
