    Forecasting the yield curve with macroeconomic information: evidence from European markets
    2021 - Pinho, Carlos; Rodríguez de Prado, Francisco; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo
    In this paper we analyse the predictive content of the introduction of macroeconomic variables in term structure dynamic models. We tested the dynamic models using data from the public debt, inflation rate and annual variation of the industrial production index for four European countries: Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany. Results obtained for the period from January 1990 to December 2012 indicate that considering macroeconomic factors makes a positive contribution to the improvement of forecasts for different countries and maturities. However, the paper presents evidence of time-varying forecast accuracy, not only across yield maturities and forecast horizons, but also over data subperiods.

    International New Ventures and Early Internationalization: Relational networks and workers specific skills as enhancing agents
    2018 - Pinho, Carlos; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, Isabel
    Based on the opinions of different entrepreneurs, this study seeks to determine the importance of several factors as inducers of the internationalization process by companies that have internationalized early in their life cycle. Factors such as the relational networks, entrepreneurs’ specific skills and international experience of employees are considered. The empirical study was conducted on a sample of 320 Portuguese companies. Data Exploratory Analysis methodologies and Univariate Statistical Inference methodologies were used. Evidence was found for the importance of Relational Networks, for Specific skills of the employees, and for the International Experience of employees, in line with the chosen Theoretical Model.

    Iberian markets reaction to goodwill and goodwill impairments
    2019 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo
    This study aims to analyse in what extent goodwill and goodwill impairment losses are relevant to the market value of Iberian listed companies in the period from 2006 to 2015. The sample includes entities belonging to the PSI-20 index and the IBEX-25 index. Our results indicate that goodwill as a significative and positive relation with market value, but when considering the goodwill impairment, the analysis does not allow us to establish a relationship with market value. When activity sectors are considered, the industries Basic Materials and Utilities present a high relationship between market value and goodwill but regarding the relation between goodwill impairment and market value our results are inconclusive.

    International new ventures and early internationalization: Networks and skills as enhancing agents
    2019-01-28 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo
    The skills of the employees, and for the International Experience of employees, in line with the chosen Theoretical Model. current research on international new ventures has been trying to understand the processes that support companies in their decision to early enter foreign markets. The role of learning and knowledge as become one of the arising topics in the literature. Recent empirical evidences provide important insights on the internationalization of new business. Younger firms are able to compensate their limited experiential learning at company level, through learning based on previous experiences of the management team, and through inter-organizational relationships (vicarious learning). The most common type of vicarious learning discussed in conceptual and empirical works involves learning with a network: depending on the position of a company in the network, this will define its range of opportunities and constraints and these relationships have a strong impact on market selection as well as on entry mode because they make it easier to identify and exploit new opportunities. Based on the opinions of different entrepreneurs, this study seeks to determine the importance of several factors as inducers of the internationalization process by companies that have internationalized early in their life cycle. Factors such as the relational networks, entrepreneurs’ specific skills and international experience of employees are considered. The empirical study was conducted on a sample of 320 Portuguese companies. Data Exploratory Analysis methodologies and Univariate Statistical Inference methodologies were used.

    Interest rate dynamic models: Evidence from Iberian markets
    2018 - Pinho, Carlos; Rodríguez de Prado, Francisco; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, Isabel
    In this paper we investigate the yield curve forecasting performance of dynamic models combining yield curve factors and macroeconomic variables. We test dynamic models using sovereign debt data, inflation rate and annual variation of the industrial production index for Portugal and Spain. We also explore the dynamic correlations between the yield curve factors of the countries under analysis. Results indicate that the consideration of macroeconomic factors has a positive contribution to the improvement of forecasts. The analysis shows a strong correlation between the two countries level factor and important changes in the curvature factor correlations associated with international crisis episodes.

    International determinants and inducing factors and performance of Portuguese internationalised companies
    2023-02-28 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Pacheco, Luís Miguel
    Purpose This study aims to analyse the relationship between the internationalisation performance of the company and, on the one hand, the factors that determine the internationalisation strategy and, on the other hand, the factors considered as inducers of this internationalisation process. The purpose of this study is to relate the determinants and inducing factors of the internationalisation process with the performance of internationalised companies, trying to assess how these determinants and these factors contribute to better performance. Design/methodology/approach The authors sent out a questionnaire to Portuguese exporting companies, containing questions regarding determinant factors associated with both the characteristics of origin market and target market of the internationalisation process and internationalisation inducing factors. The questionnaire results were subjected to a regression analysis. Findings The results indicate a positive relationship with the characteristics of the domestic market, more specifically with the need to reduce and diversify risk and the need to win new markets and consumers. Regarding the characteristics of the foreign market, there is a positive relationship with the determinants: follow customers and favourable perspectives of growth in the new market. In relation to the internationalisation inducing factors, those factors that the entrepreneur recognises as the triggers of the internationalisation strategy, the researchers found the existence of a positive relationship with formal and informal contact networks, as well as specific employee skills, international experience and strong propensity for entrepreneurship and risk-taking. Research limitations/implications This study presents some limitations. On the one hand, the fact that the authors used the questionnaires, which seemed to be the most adequate approach, brings as a drawback the reduced number of answers. Further collection is in order to increase the sample under study. On the other hand, the literature presents different approaches that may be tested as well as the possibility of including other types of variables that the researchers will address in future studies. Originality/value By analysing the relationship between company performance in the internationalisation process and the factors that determine and induce this internationalisation process, this study seeks to identify which factors entrepreneurs should favour and strengthen to obtain a better performance in the internationalisation process. In addition, the authors use the concept of inducing factors that represent the firm's characteristics that trigger the internationalisation strategy. In a complementary perspective, the authors intend to contribute to the identification of the factors that new Portuguese entrepreneurs should pay more attention to, when starting their internationalisation process and that will improve their performance.

    Determinant factors of external audit opinion modification in Portuguese municipalities
    2019 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo
    This paper aims to identify the determinant factors of external audit opinion modification in Portuguese municipalities that integrate the metropolitan areas of Porto and Lisbon, covering 65 municipalities. The defined time horizon was from 2013 to 2017. The analysis allows to identify six predominant factors related with: non-current assets, amortizations, investment subsidies, debts to receive, equity investments and provisions as reasons to modified opinions. The study also highlights the fact that approximately one-third of modified opinions are related to the identification, classification, measurement and assets registration.
