RESUMEN: A lo largo de la historia republicana ecuatoriana se han desarrollado importantes procesos de reformas normativas con la intención de introducir mejoras regulatorias en el mercado. Para implementar estas en el marco normativo nacional se deben considerar su estructura de incentivos y costos sociales para facilitar un prototipo de “diseño” eficaz que prevea por ejemplo, trámites y servicios simplificados, es decir, con un bajo costo de oportunidad social. Por ello, este artículo se enfoca en el análisis ius-económico cualitativo (teórico y conceptual) de instituciones jurídicas contemporáneas como el régimen de concentraciones, el concurso preventivo, el pacto entre accionistas, el buen gobierno corporativo y de aquellas barreras legales que pueden entorpecer la necesaria mejora regulatoria.

This article attempts to analyse status of agricultural credit and indebtedness in India. The objectives of the study are as follows: (a) to study a comparison of flow of total institutional agricultural credit among different land size groups at all India level; (b) to study a comparison of indebtedness of agricultural households between different size classes of land possessed at both states and all India level and (c) to analyse incidence of indebtedness in major Indian states. It is concluded that mostly, short- and medium-term loans of agricultural purposes are taken for marginal land size groups in India. The percentage of indebted agricultural households to total agricultural household increases as land size increases. The percentage of holdings is less than percentage of indebted agricultural households in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Odisha and Rajasthan. JEL Code: Q14

The COVID-19 pandemic has left severe impact on livelihood, security and health of informal sector workers, especially domestic workers, majority of whom are women. Being least organised and lacking institutional support, domestic workers are extremely vulnerable to exploitation and human rights violations, and the pandemic has aggravated the situation. Telephonic interviews were conducted with 260 domestic workers from three cities, namely Delhi, Mumbai and Kochi with focus on working conditions, livelihood and household dynamics, health scenario and state support during the pandemic. The data was substantiated with qualitative inputs from in-depth interviews conducted with 12 domestic workers across the cities. In the results, widespread job loss is reported among domestic workers during March–June 2020 along with drastically reduced income and increased workload. About 57% domestic workers reported stigma and discrimination at workplace, and 40% worked without any safety measures. Incidence of domestic violence at home, increased work burden at home, issues in access to health care, etc., were reported. The study findings point out the urgent need to have a national-level policy and state support specifically targeting women domestic workers, without which the situation of poverty, health hazards and social exclusion will continue to exist.

The sports program of the professional higher education focusing on the leisure sports opportunities. New needs, change in taste and new leisure habits of the young generation should be taken into account to design the University’s leisure sports program. In my study I was dealing with a questionnaire survey investigating the attitude of the students of the University of Debrecen to leisure sports, and the students’ opinions about their own physical status. Data collection was completed on a paper based questionnaire, 42 closed-type questions were included and a total of 213 students completed it. In conclusion I found that the students are satisfied with their physical states although not many of them do sport on a regular basis. I revealed the primary excuses for neglecting sports: lack of time, laziness and timetable discrepancies. These findings make it imperative that by avoiding the existing discrepancies the students be provided the widest range of time in their time tables available for physical activities. JEL code: Z20

The precondition of a health conscious behaviour in a community is establishing a healthy development of the community, an important part of which is the community’s attitude to sports and health. A basic manifestation of this is whether the leadership of a specific settlement is committed to developing sports facilities and, on the other hand, to what extent residents make use of these facilities. The aim of our research was to point out the number of sports facilities currently available for catering everyday physical education introduced in 2012, leisure sports and competitive sport events in two different regions of Hungary. We also examined the resources available for maintaining the facilities and the degree to which existing facilities are exploited. Existing sports halls of the Northern Great Plain and Central Transdanubia were included in the research. We wish to emphasise, in regards to the infrastructural developments of the coming few years, that it is essential to consider the fact, even in the planning phase of facilities, that sport events in themselves do not make the facilities economically sustainable.

Athletes in higher education are not only expected to produce high level performance but to find the balance between the preparation for post-athletic life and the requirements of the university. The objective of this study is to explore the connections between academic performance and level of sport. Also, to elaborate on the role of relevant policy regulations and institutional support that help elite athletes meet academic requirements. Data collection was conducted by means of online questionnaires involving athletes receiving sport scholarships at the University of Debrecen (N=159). The data from questionnaires were processed by using SPSS 18. Version software. For data analyse four groups were extracted based on level of sport performance and involvement: international elite, division I, division II, division III. The results indicate that the academic performance on the two international elite of sport did not differ from the average, and that these athletes did not experience any difficulties earning course credits at the university while being engaged in doing sport. In most cases, elite athletes did not apply for the various kind of support instruments, thus, they are able to balance athletic preparation and academic requirements without supportive modifications of university policies. The results also shed light on the fact that the academic performance does not only depend on the level of sport and the chosen major at the university, but it is also influenced by the time devoted to study and training, and the sport type (individual or team sport). There are differences observed between athletes participating in individual or team sport concerning the general average of grades, the effectiveness of earning credits, the number of weekly training, as well as the time devoted to training in preparatory and competitive periods. According to the results, the various amount of time devoted to study or sport does not necessarily result in academic performance decline. In addition, results support that athletes do keep academic studies rather important and they are aware that university years are considered to be a significant period in preparation for post-athletic life.

Resumo Este caso para ensino tem por objetivo promover a reflexão sobre a necessidade de realizar pesquisas e projeções para a tomada de decisão, com a premissa de diminuir as incertezas geradas acerca da implantação de um novo negócio. Além disso, visa oportunizar aos alunos a discussão de situações pertinentes ao processo de abertura de uma nova empresa, por meio do caso da Junckes Distribuidora, uma atacadista prestadora de serviços do ramo alimentício, na qual um dos sócios idealiza um projeto de expansão. Em 2017, após um levantamento de dados para avaliar a viabilidade financeira e econômica da nova empresa, a varejista Direto do Colono, Matheus convoca os demais sócios João e Leonardo para uma reunião. É preciso decidir o que fazer e qual a melhor decisão, abrir ou não abrir o novo negócio, levando em consideração os dados coletados e a situação atual da empresa. A proposta é fazer com que os alunos se coloquem no lugar dos gestores, a fim de propiciar um debate acerca da abertura desse novo negócio e uma reflexão sobre concepções inerentes ao planejamento estratégico, marketing e análise financeira, explorando estes conceitos e relacionando-os com a realidade organizacional. Propõe-se que o caso seja aplicado nos cursos de Graduação em Administração, na disciplina de Estratégias Organizacionais. JEL Code: A2, R4, O3.

Flows Over Time

- This paper examines the product specialisation of Italian trade over the period 2000-2006 to identify the roots of Italy's sluggish trade performance with respect to India. In particular, the analysis focuses on the role of product specialisation in relation to world trade growth and competition from emerging countries. We used trade indicators to describe and asses the state of trade flows and trade patterns of a particular country like India and also to monitor these flows over time and across countries. Till the early 1990s, India was a closed economy: average tariffs exceeded 200 percent, quantitative restrictions on imports were extensive, and there were stringent restrictions on foreign investment. The country began to cautiously reform in the 1990s, liberalizing only under conditions of extreme necessity. Since that time, trade reforms have produced remarkable results. The economy is now among the fastest growing in the world. This leads some to see India as a ‘rapid globalizer' while others still see it as a ‘highly protectionist' economy. India however retains its right to protect when need arises. Agricultural tariffs average between 30-40 percent, anti-dumping measures have been liberally used to protect trade. India is now aggressively pushing for a more liberal global trade regime, especially in services.JEL Code: Q17Key words: emerging countries, trade indicators; competitive pressures

Institutional frameworks are important for individuals’ attitudes and behaviours, and thus they are important for travel decisions. This study endeavours to examine the influence of various formal and informal institutional factors on tourism spending for a global sample of 120 countries from 2002 to 2019. Applying the two-step system generalised method of moments estimate, the results are robust and consistent. First, informal institutions, that is, colonial history, socialist history, origin of the legal system, religion and language, are important explanatory factors for differences in tourism spending between countries. Second, improvements in formal institutions appear to increase domestic tourism spending while they decrease outbound tourism spending. The results have important policy implications.

This study tends to examine the firm-level profitability determinants of Indian automobile and ancillary industry which is recognised for its global competitiveness. The study uses recent dataset to investigate the firm-level profitability determinants in the Indian automobile and ancillary industry and records the effect of shifts in profitability due to change in economic environment. This study intends at using real financial balanced panel data for a period 1999–2019 and applies the two-step system generalised method of moments regression model with robust standard errors. The study has found that lagged profitability, marketing and advertising intensity, firm’s market power and operational efficiency have exercised positive impact on firm-level profitability. Negative and statistically significant impact of raw material import intensity and export intensity highlights the need of planning and implementation of appropriate investment strategies. The findings of this study suggest that firms should pay more attention to optimise their operating expenditures, marketing and advertisement expenditures and expand their market power as a part of their survival and growth strategy.
