AbstractThe academic debate in migrant entrepreneurship has mainly focused on movements from emerging economies into developed economies. Anecdotal evidence has suggested that the highest impact is generated by migrants in/from emerging economies. To extend this academic discussion in the Latin-American context, this study investigates why migrants are more entrepreneurial than natives. By adopting the human capital and the institutional approach, we theorize that individual and environmental conditions produce selection/discrimination effects in the host labour market. Consequently, these effects influence migrants’ decision to become entrepreneurs. We tested our hypotheses using a sample of 13,368 adults between the ages of 18–64 based across the 16 Chilean regions. Our results showed that being a high-skilled migrant in a dynamic emerging economy is not a guarantee of success in the labour market, but it is a determinant of international and necessity-driven entrepreneurship. Several implications and a provocative discussion emerged from these findings.

The Impact

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the critical aspect of financial development, human capital and their interactive term on economic growth from the perspective of emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach Data set ranged from 2002 to 2017 of 83 emerging countries used in this research and collected from world development indicators of the World Bank. The two-step system generalized method of moments is used to conduct this research within the endogenous growth model while controlling time and country-specific effects. Findings The findings of the study indicate that financial development has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. In emerging countries, human capital also has a positive impact on economic growth. Financial development and human capital interactively affect economic growth for emerging economies positively and significantly. Research limitations/implications The data set is limited to 83 emerging countries of the world. The time period for the study is 2002 to 2017. Originality/value This research contributes to the existing literature on human capital, financial development and economic growth. Limited research has been conducted on the impact of financial development and human capital on economic growth.

Opening Up

Abstract We focus this paper on higher education systems and related public policies in emerging societies and developing regions worldwide and observe that effective institutional autonomy and integrity of modern universities are to be promoted in a context where building human capital is a priority and alliances and partnerships among universities worldwide, as well as between them and industry, gain significant relevance. For those societies and regions, our analysis identifies ten different themes oriented towards norms that may be helpful in guiding the development of higher education systems and related public policies.

Elasticity Of Factor Substitution

The Arrow-Romer growth model helped to overcome the main drawback of the Solow-Swan model, where technical change is created exogenously, not by the firms making decisions, and formulated the conditions for endogenous growth in an economy. Nonetheless, the presentation of the Arrow-Romer model and corresponding empirical studies by the Cobb-Douglas functions hides the role of the capital-labor relationship for economic growth. A constant elasticity of substitution (CES) function, constructed by Arrow et al. (1961), allows solving this problem. So, the purpose of the current research is to test the endogenous growth of the Vietnamese economy, which has experienced a more than 30-year market-oriented reform through specifying an aggregate CES function. By applying Bayesian nonlinear regression, the research results revealed the elasticity of factor substitution (ES) lower than one. This work theoretically and empirically contributes to the endogenous growth theory in problems concerned with emerging economies. Investments in physical and human capital and technological progress are the determinants of endogenous growth. From the findings obtained, the author concludes that even though having achieved a rather impressive growth rate over more than three decades, the Vietnamese economy has not yet generated the possibility of endogenous growth, and suggests that endogenous growth can be hardly generated in emerging economies like Vietnam if important growth policies related to accumulation of physical and human capital as well as enhancement of R&D activities are not simultaneously implemented. It is indispensable to focus on substantially improving institutional quality.

PurposeThe present study is an attempt of identifying the human capital skills and HR-related challenges faced by top management in the perspective of industry 4.0 in emerging economies. In addition, the importance or key resources related to human assets that help in attaining competitive advantages while adopting newer digital technologies are also identified.Design/methodology/approachFor identifying the dimensions of human capital skills in the perspective of industry 4.0, an extensive review of literature was performed. Along with that, feedback from the expert was used to conceptualize the importance and relationship of the skills in the context of industry 4.0. After that, a qualitative survey was launched and triangulate method was applied for identifying the skills. AHP and DEMATEL was used to analyze the relationship among the skills and subskills and to rank them based on their importance.FindingsThe qualitative survey resulted in skills such as “Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioural skills” and subskills of them. AHP results indicated that “Cognitive skills” was found as the most important skill followed by “Emotional skills” and “Behavioural skills”. In addition to this, DEMATEL was applied for seeking the inter-relationship and identifying the “Cause” and “Effect” relationship of skills and sub-skills.Originality/valueThis study prioritizes factors in a coordinated manner and also finds the relative importance in the context of industry 4.0. It will help further in identifying and deploying human capital with the right skills and will play a significant role at the time of formulating organizational and HR level strategies.
