Título próprio: Financing long-term care in Portugal: Is there a role for home equity release schemes? Autoria: Bravo, J. M.; Gonçalves, J. Editor: Gaspar, Pedro Miguel; Facal, David; Navarro-Pardo, Esperanza; Ramadani, Veland Resumo: Long-term care (LTC) needs are high in Portugal and in EU countries and tend to be concentrated among vulnerable populations. Despite public support, particularly for people with more severe needs, out-of-pocket costs with LTC remain high, and the social protection gaps may push older people into income poverty. Reforming LTC schemes to cope with increasing demand due to population ageing, protection gaps, fiscal sustainability, and intergenerational fairness is a significant challenge that many countries face. In an asset-based approach to welfare in which individuals accept greater responsibility for their welfare needs, policy solutions for balancing affordability for users and fiscal sustainability should not ignore the role of home equity release schemes (ERS). This paper investigates the role of ERS in the financing of LTC in Portugal. Using data from the Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), we analyse household wealth distribution, breakdown home equity estimates by socioeconomic group, and estimate the potential for income release from monetising home wealth through ERS mechanisms such as reverse mortgages and home reversion schemes. The empirical findings suggest that homeowners may tap into their accumulated home wealth to finance LTC costs, smooth consumption, and increase their resilience against financial shocks.

Título próprio: Os fatores que influenciam a escolha das empresas de auditoria em Portugal Autoria: Caeiro, A.; Pais, C.; Almeida, P. P. Editor: Rocha, Álvaro; Peñalvo, Francisco; Gonçalves, Ramiro; Holgado, Alicia; Moreira, Fernando Resumo: O objetivo do estudo é verificar os fatores que podem estar na escolha das firmas de auditoria, nomeadamente das Big 4. Apesar de este tema já ter sido estudado, ainda não o foi, tanto quanto sabemos, estudado em Portugal. Usando questionários estudamos 347 empresas através de uma regressão logística. Os resultados sugerem que a qualidade da auditoria, a dimensão da firma de auditoria e a prestação de serviços a nível internacional aumentam a probabilidade de escolha de uma firma Big 4, e que a competência técnica, a recomendação e a proximidade geográfica têm um efeito contrário. Sendo um estudo pioneiro em Portugal e tendo por base 347 empresas contribui para o conhecimento dos possíveis fatores na escolha da firma de auditoria, sendo essa informação útil para as firmas de auditoria bem como para os organismos reguladores da auditoria.

Título próprio: HR analytics in the commercial aviation sector: A literature review Autoria: Brito, A. P.; Sousa, M. Editor: Martin Rich Resumo: HR Analytics is the area of Human Resources Management (HRM) that uses the techniques of artificial Intelligence, social sciences, and innovation to extract, treat, and present data for decision-making. This has been a big trend in HR in recent years, with already business cases, academic studies, and industry applications, but it is still in an early stage of development. The commercial aviation industry has people at the heart of its strategy, as it is a people-to-people service. But there are no satisfied customers without satisfied employees. In addition, the topic of aviation safety is a central one, and the sector has extensive regulations on the subject. Aviation safety is also based on human-machine interaction and crew resource management (CRM). People must therefore be in the core strategy of aviation companies because, for the provision of their service, the human factor in the interaction with the machine, the team, and the customer is a critical success factor. An appropriate approach to HR Analytics is to start with the problems that the business faces and, from there, create indicators and models that can measure them. In this paper, a sectoral and problem-based HR analytics is discussed, which is one of its main contributions. HR analytics techniques are descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. Starting from the nature of the air operation and its problems, HR analytics is an essential strategy to better know and act on the evidence of aviation service and operation. The purpose of this publication is to understand what academic studies exist on the applications of HR Analytics to the aviation industry. Through a literature review, it was concluded that the aviation sector has also few academic studies about HR analytics; however, there are already some indicators and models that can point in the right direction for the future. This is an area that can help measure performance indicators of HR policies and provide management with important data for decision-making in human resources management. The results of this research are presented, future research paths are suggested, and the limitations of this study are pointed out.
