About the economic growth the Keynesian theorists defend circular and cumulative processes, benefiting the rich localities and harming the poorest, without external interventions. In these processes the Verdoorn law has an important role. For Verdoorn (1949) the productivity growth rate is endogenous and depends of the…

A study ranks critical Lean Six Sigma tools for implementation in Portuguese companies.

problem Identifying the most important tools for successful Lean Six Sigma implementation in Portugal.
method An online survey with Portuguese consultants evaluated 37 tools based on frequency of use, difficulty, importance, and impact. A ranking was developed using a procedure to assess consultants' know-how.
result Honshin Kanri, VOC, VSM were identified as the most important tools for Lean Six Sigma implementation.

With this study we want to test the validity of the well known "Verdoorn's Law" which considers the relationship between the growth of productivity and output in the case of the Portuguese economy at a regional and sectoral levels (NUTs II) for the period 1995-1999. The importance of some additional variables in the or…

Recent studies show that a negative shock in stock prices will generate more volatility than a positive shock of similar magnitude. The aim of this paper is to appraise the hypothesis under which the conditional mean and the conditional variance of stock returns are asymmetric functions of past information. We compare …
