This low
rate of export participation reflects the immense challenges exporters face when trying to access
foreign markets. Complying with customs procedures and tailoring products to local demand creates
large up-front costs which act as an entry barrier and prevent most firms from becoming exporters. A
vast literature in international trade has therefore singled out firm productivity as the key determinant
to understand low export participation, since only the most efficient firms are able to take on high
entry costs while remaining profitable in foreign markets.</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAcMK8fxUBM-bW0SvkVd_xTYiaQ0DNiCwImVWkAtHkukv9lGBQqzmIDhrRohj4hp77We0nC3kkNfuX66d5CfNm9xb0UV0wNCsDlucOLC2WFvXOzGthzvYfCJ7-hlGuo3lVMxbRxiorOWgS1blKYNA_JmeRRJDmsSK3lTwQidA1-jZuQccYEeTW6CB/s288/Bloguue%20-%20Foto%20Networks.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="175" data-original-width="288" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAcMK8fxUBM-bW0SvkVd_xTYiaQ0DNiCwImVWkAtHkukv9lGBQqzmIDhrRohj4hp77We0nC3kkNfuX66d5CfNm9xb0UV0wNCsDlucOLC2WFvXOzGthzvYfCJ7-hlGuo3lVMxbRxiorOWgS1blKYNA_JmeRRJDmsSK3lTwQidA1-jZuQccYEeTW6CB/w470-h280/Bloguue%20-%20Foto%20Networks.jpg" width="470" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>This perspective, however, ignores that firms do not operate in isolation but are constantly interacting through their domestic production network. These network interactions provide a potentially powerful source of information about foreign markets as they connect domestic firms to experienced exporters which are already present in foreign markets. Signals travelling along these linkages could therefore inform firms about foreign market conditions, lower the cost burden typically associated with market access and turn the network itself into a key determinant of export participation. Becoming an exporter might therefore not only be the result of highly efficient production capabilities, but also the result of suitable network linkages.</i>(...)</p><p><i>Our results indicate that firm networks are an important determinant of export participation. (...)</i></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>These findings have several implications for researchers and policy makers alike. First, they
emphasize that determinants of export participation are both generated within and outside of the firm.
Foreign market entry evidently both depends on firms’ efficiency as well as the value of their

17 economies in Central, East and Southeast Europe (CESEE). More precisely, we
investigate how different FDI inflows have affected various economic and social
indicators, such as GDP growth, labour market outcomes, and poverty and
inequality, for the period since the fall of communism until 2020. (…)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the
past three decades, the economies of Central, East and Southeast Europe (CESEE)
have been experiencing strong inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI).
Between 1993 and 2020 the world as a whole has been receiving FDI inflows of
around 2.5% of global GDP, while foreign investment in CESEE has averaged 4.4%
of GDP. Most of these inflows into CESEE – around 60% of the total – have been
coming from the nearby EU15 countries. Western European companies entered the
attractive CESEE economies to ensure their presence in the new fast-growing
markets, as well as to benefit from the lower production costs there. (…)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We find
that FDI inflows have had, in general, a positive effect on economic growth in
CESEE, and that this effect has been particularly strong for German and
Austrian FDI. For total FDI, higher inflows of 1 percentage point (pp) of GDP
are associated with 0.19 pp higher GDP growth. For FDI from Germany and
Austria, this effect is five times higher – FDI inflows of 1 pp of GDP have led
to 0.9 pp higher GDP growth. The positive GDP effects have come from the higher
consumption and exports that the FDI has induced. FDI inflows have also reduced
unemployment and increased wages, but have had no effects on labour
productivity. Total FDI has had only limited effects on inequality and poverty,
but FDI from Germany and Austria has been found to reduce both inequality and
poverty, likely because they have benefitted mainly lower-income persons. There
are differences in the effects of the different types of FDI, with reinvested
earnings and equity capital having in general more beneficial effects than
intra-company loans. Also, FDI in different sectors of the economy has had
different effects, with inflows to the secondary and tertiary sectors having
greater effects than inflows to the primary sector.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The policy implications of
these results are that CESEE economies should not give up on their efforts to
attract more FDI, but also that their endeavours should be more targeted,
focusing on investments that have greater economic and social impacts.
Moreover, foreign investment should not be criticised for the perhaps
unsatisfactory economic and social performances of the economies from this
region. Instead, the reasons for this should be sought in domestic factors and
in the modest growth of the European Union during the past two decades."</span></span></p>Rui Paulo Almashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913193980933498888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335510072922535993.post-17753221174906609862022-12-23T22:30:00.005+00:002022-12-23T22:44:16.655+00:00Boas Festas para todos os leitores deste blogue - "A gente vai continuar"<p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Jorge Palma - " A gente vai continuar"</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dyqe_xSQvk8" width="320" youtube-src-id="Dyqe_xSQvk8"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Rui Paulo Almashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913193980933498888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335510072922535993.post-16139729230830554972022-12-03T15:49:00.007+00:002022-12-16T10:45:17.667+00:00Livro " Os rios não sobem montanhas", de José Manuel de Braga Dias<p>José Manuel de Braga Dias nasceu em Vila Franca do Campo, Açores.

A capa do livro (acima) é da autoria de João Salgueiro e Jairo Gruenberg. É uma obra que aborda um conjunto de excelentes "estórias" de Angola sobretudo da cidade de Luanda, durante a década de 90 do século passado, na fase pós Acordos de Bicesse e no período de plena guerra civil que atravessava, na altura, aquele país africano. De acordo com o autor "É neste contexto que se inventam histórias, personagens e que se relembram factos que, em Luanda, constituíam parte do quotidiano de nacionais e estrangeiros".

Veja abaixo as principais conclusões deste documento:</p><ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #262626; list-style-position: inside; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative;"><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 10px 0px; padding-left: 20px; position: relative; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">i) "EU-China relations have faced considerable challenges in recent times. On the one hand, our trade and investment relations remain characterised by significant asymmetries, including a lack of reciprocity in market access and an unlevel playing field in some sectors. Therefore, the recommendations that BusinessEurope set out in its 2020 publication “<a href="https://www.businesseurope.eu/publications/eu-and-china-addressing-systemic-challenge" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #002f66; transition: all 400ms cubic-bezier(0.19, 1, 0.22, 1) 0ms;">The EU and China: addressing the systemic challenge</a>” remain relevant today. With the increased politicisation of the Chinese business environment, the situation has become even more challenging for European companies in some areas, exacerbated by the lack of international mobility with China since February 2020. On the other hand, new risk factors have emerged such as China’s increased assertiveness and the supply chain disruptions resulting from China’s zero-COVID policy. It is therefore crucial for European companies to thoroughly assess the short- and long-term risks deriving from any overreliance and exposure to the Chinese market and take mitigating measures accordingly. At the same time, China is and will remain a major market for European companies.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 10px 0px; padding-left: 20px; position: relative; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ii) Despite the challenging state of EU-China relations, the EU should keep in mind that China remains a necessary cooperation partner in certain areas – particularly where multilateral solutions are needed – besides being a competitor and a systemic rival. Our economies are strongly interdependent, and we face many common global challenges that need collective solutions. Therefore, the EU should keep engaging with China in areas of interest with the aim of creating conditions for a constructive and balanced cooperation. However, this cooperation will only be possible if there is political willingness and commitment on both sides.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 10px 0px; padding-left: 20px; position: relative; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">iii) Addressing climate change and its consequences is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The European Union is at the forefront of the global fight against climate change and European business is committed to achieving a climate-neutral economy by mid-century. However, the fight against climate change can only be successful with the full mobilisation of all countries, and especially China. European business thus calls for more cooperation between the EU and China on policies to tackle the climate crisis whilst ensuring a level playing field for industry, where costs are shared.</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 10px 0px; padding-left: 20px; position: relative; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">iv) Standardisation is an essential tool to facilitate trade and interoperability, but it can also be used to erect barriers to international economic exchanges. Both the EU and China have an interest in avoiding a decoupling in this field, which would lead to market fragmentation and increased costs for research and development, unnecessary trade barriers and, potentially, unfair competition. The EU needs to work with like-minded partners and China to boost international standard-setting and the adoption of international standards to avoid such an outcome. Moreover, regulatory dialogue could play an important role in helping prevent trade barriers for EU exporters and encouraging regulatory convergence."</span></li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Num evento realizado sobre o mesmo tema, no dia 20.09.22, e tendo por base o referido documento, o Director-Geral da BusinessEurope, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #262626; font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">Markus J.

spread in early 2020, many economists who stepped forward with projections of
its impact assumed that a one-time shock would be followed eventually by a
return close to the status quo. Views have differed since then regarding both
the time it would take to produce vaccines and the extent of potential economic
scarring, but, until the last few months, few outside the public health
community seriously contemplated the possibility that the pandemic could
persist on a significant scale.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: PT;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has made this assumption
questionable. (…) As our colleagues Chad P. Bown, Monica de Bolle, and
Maurice Obstfeld explain in a </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: PT;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5335510072922535993/7522836833331832401"><span lang="EN-GB" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; color: #407ca7; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">recent post</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #172a3a; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: PT;">, the periodic emergence of
new, potentially dangerous variants will remain a serious threat so long as
parts of the world lack access to effective vaccines.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: PT;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

If COVID-19 persists and keeps threatening
lives, two scenarios then seem possible. The first is recurrent waves of
infection, leading governments to oscillate between imposing and lifting
sanitary measures in response to the ups and downs of the disease. The second
is a “zero COVID” scenario: sharp and sustained containment policies at the start,
followed by milder sanitary measures combined with systematic tracing and
testing to maintain a very low infection level thereafter.</span></p>

We see three main economic implications of a
scenario of recurrent outbreaks. The first is lasting border restrictions, as
countries try to protect themselves from infections elsewhere. The second is
the likelihood of repeated confinements. The third is enduring effects on the
composition of both supply and demand."</span></p>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span>Nos primeiros lugares deste <i>ranking</i> surgem fundamentalmente países da União Europeia, com excepção dos EUA, mas numa análise mais alargada deste estudo<i> </i>vemos também em posição de destaque alguns mercados extra-comunitários, como a China (69), Coreia do Sul (68), Turquia (68), México (67), Japão (65), Marrocos (64), Rússia (63), Chile (63) e Brasil (61). </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span>Em termos gerais, e se acrescentarmos os PALOP, estes países têm também constituído, nos últimos anos, os principais mercados de internacionalização das empresas portuguesas, ao nível das exportações, do investimento directo no estrangeiro e até na captação de investimento estrangeiro, sinal das interdependências e das convergências de posicionamento internacional das economias e das empresas portuguesas e espanholas.</span></span></div>

O número de Julho da revista Portugalglobal da AICEP faz um destaque à campanha de promoção de Portugal em França dinamizada pela AICEP, Turismo de Portugal e Embaixada de Portugal em França e que teve lugar entre os dias 6 de Maio e 25 de Junho de 2019, em Paris e em que estive directamente envolvido. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Esta campanha integrou a ação "Sous le Soleil du Portugal" que teve lugar no <i>department store</i> <a href="https://www.bhv.fr/">BHV Marais</a> (Grupo Galeries Lafayette) e as iniciativas complementares de "cross-selling", promovidas sob a designação de "Agenda Portugal à Paris", e que envolveram 26 entidades francesas e portuguesas.

Em França, estas entidades constituem estabelecimentos públicos de "caracter administrativo" e são financiadas e apoiadas pelas empresas e pelo Estado.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A CCIDF possui 19 estabelecimentos de ensino com mais de 32 400 alunos, entre as quais se contam algumas das mais melhores e mais prestigiadas escolas ("Grandes Écoles") de gestão, hotelaria, engenharia, artesanato e imagem e televisão francesas como a HEC Paris, ESSEC, ESCP Europe, Ferrandi, Gobelins, La Fabrique, ESIEE Paris.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Na sequência de uma alteração recente das regras de financiamento das CCI's, realizada pelo Ministro da Economia francês, Bruno Le Maire, </span><a href="https://www.lesechos.fr/politique-societe/societe/0600639645540-hec-escp-essec-dix-neuf-ecoles-franciliennes-se-preparent-a-ouvrir-leur-capital-2242234.php"><span>a CCIDF decidiu alterar o modelo de funcionamento destes estabelecimentos de ensino, e vai abrir o capital das mesmas à iniciativa privada</span></a><span>. Para o efeito vai ser criada uma holding, onde a CCIDF vai ficar com 51% do capital de cada escola, e onde um acionista não poderá deter mais de 33% do capital, não havendo lugar à distribuição de dividendos. Em relação a investidores estrangeiros interessados na entrada do capital, haverá, em principio, a limitação de entrada a 10% ou 15% do mesmo, com o necessário acordo da entidade gestora do estabelecimento de ensino e da associação dos antigos alunos.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A prevista abertura do capital dos referidos estabelecimentos de ensino superior, está a suscitar interesse junto de investidores franceses, como instituições bancárias e "family offices", mas também de investidores estrangeiros da China e do Qatar.</span></div>

Num artigo recente publicado no <i>Journal of International Business Studies</i>, designado “Diplomatic and corporate networks: Bridges to foreign locations” (que pode ser acedido <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41267-017-0098-4">aqui</a>), um grupo de investigadores, nomeadamente Jing Li, Klaus E. Meyer, Hua Zhang e Yuan Ding, referem o seguinte:</span></div>

<span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.05pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">"Firms and governments operate in broad networks in which the home
government and its diplomatic service are a critical node – or a “referral
point” – between firms and potential partners in foreign locations. Thus
diplomatic relations between countries matter for the choice of foreign
investment location. Using a network perspective, we argue that the extent to
which good diplomatic relations induce firms to invest in friendly host
countries depends on their political connections to home governments. Those
with stronger ties to home governments can better access and leverage
intergovernmental diplomatic connections, thus benefiting potentially from
enhanced access to information, reduced political risks, and increased
legitimacy”.<o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.05pt;">Trata-se de uma investigação que teve por base a análise das decisões de
investimento no exterior de empresas chinesas e que surge num momento particularmente
relevante caracterizado por uma grande instabilidade ao nível das relações comerciais internacionais, e de alguns dos acordos que as enquadram, e em
que vários países europeus, entre os quais Portugal, tentam reforçar as suas ligações
politicas e económicas, e as </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0666667px;">acções</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.05pt;"> da chamada “diplomacia económica”, com um
