AbstractThis paper employs provincial data to study the spatial and intersectoral spill-overs in aggregate failure rates in Spain, by using an Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation. The analysis is based on NUTS3 data over the time span 2005Q1-2013Q4. By speculating on the effects of the Spanish financial crisis, we document empirical evidence of the presence of spatial spill-overs among neighboring counties. Furthermore, some intersectoral spill-overs are also detected: we observe that Industry and Agriculture exhibit a positive impact on the Service sector. These results can be useful to design proper policy rules to better manage the spread of bankruptcies over time and space.

Despite the consensus that new firms have a significant economic and socioeconomic impact, there is very little empirical evidence to support this claim in the Pakistani context. In this paper, we start by looking at how new firm entry varies across districts in Punjab over time. We then look at how the establishment of different types of firms across these districts has affected district-level socioeconomic outcomes in the province. We find that firm entry has a positive impact on economic outcomes such as employment and enrollment, and that this impact can vary by the scale of the firms that enter.


This study addresses one of the most critical advents and highly sought after the technological breakthrough of today’s service sector. Internet of things has been finding relevance in today’s service sector as a significant impetus to superior service delivery and advanced service proposition to customers. Healthcare sector is also no exception. This study taking data from the Indian healthcare sector attempts to check the relationship between IoT adoption and proposed service delivery gains experienced by healthcare organizations (if any). The study based on the theoretical premises of cybernetic control theory and technology adoption model by Davis, Hypothesized that IoT adoption must positively influence flexibility and agility and in turn, flexibility positively influence readiness. The empirical evidence supports these hypotheses, and all the findings validate the propositions that healthcare organizations and the players and actors involved in healthcare consider IoT adoption as pivotal. Because the survey outcomes establish path analysis linkages through Structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM results highlight the significant positive impact of IoT adoption on flexibility and agility and in turn, even stronger association and effects of flexibility on readiness in the services offered by healthcare organizations. This study outcomes are very vital for hospital managers and upcoming healthcare practitioners as it establishes empirical evidence supporting IoT adoption as a helpful step and prominent success factor for better flexible patient care delivery and agility.

This study compares the perceptions of employer branding and psychological contract levels of employees of family and non-family firms. Specifically, to better understand the dynamics of family businesses, we assess the extent to which employer branding perceptions have an impact on the employees' psychological contract levels. The empirical evidence is provided by a sample of 165 Portuguese employees (76 from family businesses and 89 from non-family businesses), working in small and medium-sized privately-owned companies. The results confirmed the research hypotheses, suggesting that employees of family companies have higher perceptions of employer branding and psychological contract levels than those of employees of non-family companies, also revealing that employer branding has a positive impact on the psychological contract levels of family firm’s employees.

While accounting researchers have explored international publishing patterns in the accounting literature generally, little is known about recent contributions to the specialist international accounting history journals. Specifically, this study surveys publishing patterns in the three specialist, internationally refereed, accounting history journals in the English language during the period 1996 to 1999. The survey covers 149 contributions in total and provides empirical evidence on the location of their authors, the subject country or region in each investigation, and the time span of each study. It also classifies the literature examined based on the literature classification framework provided by Carnegie and Napier [1996].

This chapter analyzes media malaise theories and their consequences for legitimacy. These theories argue that the increasing availability of information through new and old media and increasingly negative tone of media are to blame for declining legitimacy. The chapter examines these claims by providing a systematic review of empirical research on media and political support. It first investigates whether news coverage has become more negative over time, and then examines the micro process that might explain the link between media coverage and political support. Empirical evidence suggests that where coverage has become more negative, this occurred before the 1990s and has levelled off since, and is concentrated primarily in election news. Negative political news does have a modest impact on political support once controlled for level of education, but that effect can be positive and negative, depending on the medium, the receiver, and the indicator of political support.
