Citation metrics are frequently used to assess research and rank journals and researchers. Nevertheless, this is still a process with asymmetric information. Tourism research has matured within a small community and through a multidisciplinary scientific paradigm. This paper aims to understand the determinants of tourism research citation patterns. To this end, 101,968 papers within fifteen years (2004-2018) ar...

A conditional tail index estimator is introduced which explicitly allows for right-tail censoring (top-coding). We show that the factor values used to adjust top-coded wages have changed over time and depend on individuals' characteristics, occupations and industries, and propose suitable values. Specifically, contrasting the results of our approach with those of a conservative fixed adjustment factor of 1.5 (u...
We estimate a dynamic model of individual labour market careers (turnover and search, wage development) on Portuguese panel data of graduates from vocational and general secondary education. We find that vocational graduates benefit more from the internal labour market than from the external market. This holds even more for mature than for young individuals. This hurts as among the mature, vocational has higher...
A conditional tail index estimator is introduced which explicitly allows for right‐tail censoring (top‐coding). We show that the factor values used to adjust top‐coded wages have changed over time and depend on individuals' characteristics, occupations and industries, and propose suitable values. Specifically, contrasting the results of our approach with those of a conservative fixed adjustment factor of 1.5 (u...
We evaluate the sources of wage losses of workers displaced due to firm closure by comparison of workers’ wages before and after displacement. We decompose the sources of the wage losses into the contribution of firm, match quality, and job title fixed effects. Sorting into lower paying job titles represents the largest component of the monthly wage loss of displaced workers, accounting for 37 percent of the to...
No garante da segurança, o combate à criminalidade ambiental a nível transnacional assume-se como uma das prioridades da ação da União Europeia, potenciando os esforços globais por via do reforço da cooperação policial internacional, onde o intercâmbio de informações assume papel basilar. Assim, alicerçou-se o objetivo da investigação em propor melhorias ao Modelo Nacional de Intercâmbio de Informação Criminal ...
In this paper we investigate potential changes which may have occurred over the last two decades in the probability mass of the right tail of the wage distribution, through the analysis of the corresponding tail index. In specific, a conditional tail index estimator is introduced which explicitly allows for right tail censoring (top-coding), which is a feature of the widely used current population survey (CPS),...

No âmbito territorial da região do Alentejo foi realizado o estudo da participação desportiva com o objetivo de caracterizar a prática desportiva da população residente. Como método foi utilizada a recolha dos dados através de inquérito sociográfico, por entrevistas telefónicas, a 791 indivíduos. Como instrumento de recolha utilizou-se questionário construído para o estudo, que pretendeu analisar o comportament...
