La elevada y preocupante cifra de desempleo juvenil hoy día en España invita a reflexionar sobre cómo era esta situación en los prolegómenos de la actual crisis económica y social. En el presente artículo se analiza y reflexiona si tras la explicación predominante, basada en la responsabilización del joven, se eludían otros aspectos interesantes a tener en cuenta. Para ello se aplica una metodología variada, basada en la revisión estadística y documental, complementada con observación participante y entrevistas (semiestructuradas y estructuradas) a jóvenes (16-19 años), a profesionales del ámbito educativo-ocupacional y a responsables de la administración local. La principal aportación realizada es, por un lado, la identificación, a partir del análisis empírico, de algunas reflexiones en torno a elementos que cuestionan el discurso culpabilizador hacia el joven, y por otro lado, la presentación de elementos exógenos a la figura del joven interesantes de incorporar en el análisis sobre jóvenes e inserción laboral.

Työ käsittelee vuonna 2007 puhjenneen finanssikriisin syitä, seurauksia ja ratkaisumalleja sekä vaikutuksia suomalaisiin vientiyrityksiin. Kriisin syynä ei voida yksistään pitää yhdysvaltalaisten pankkien antamia subprime-lainoja, vaan todellisuudessa kriisi syntyi useiden tapahtumien summana. Muita syitä ovat esimerkiksi valvonnan puutteellisuus, rahoitusmarkkinoiden muuttuminen globaaleiksi ja Yhdysvaltain keskuspankin harjoittama matalan koron politiikka. Finanssikriisin suoria vaikutuksia olivat rahoituksen saamisen vaikeutuminen ja luottamuksen katoaminen finanssimarkkinoilta. Epäsuoria vaikutuksia finanssikriisistä aiheutuu reaalitalouden ongelmien kautta. Näitä ovat esimerkiksi yritysten kysynnän ja tulosten heikkeneminen sekä lisääntyneet luottotappiot. Yksityishenkilöille seuraukset näkyvät irtisanomisten ja lomautusten kautta. Suomen vienti laskee jo pelkästään kysynnän heikkenemisen seurauksena, mutta lisäksi vaarana on protektionististen toimien vähentävän ulkomaankauppaa. Kriisin seurauksena voi myös aiheutua vaara, että yritysten omistus siirtyy ulkomaisille sijoittajille. Finanssikriisin ratkaisemiseksi tärkeät toimet ovat maailmanlaajuisen valvontajärjestelmän luominen ja sellaiset elvytystoimet, joilla saadaan kysyntä palaamaan kasvuun. Kaikkein tärkeintä on saada palautettua luottamus finanssimarkkinoille. Valtioiden tulee olla erittäin tarkkana, etteivät elvytystoimet vaaranna vapaata kilpailua ja näin ollen maailman vapaakauppaa.

The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate winner-loser performance when financial markets are facing crisis. This is examined through the idea that does the prior loser portfolios outperform the prior winner portfolios during the three major crises: The depression of the 1990s, the IT-Bubble and the Subprime -crisis. Firstly, the winner and loser portfolios superiority is counted by using the cumulative excess returns from the examination period. The portfolios were formed by counting the excess returns and locating them in to the order of superiority. The excess returns are counted by using one year pre-data before the actual examination period. The results of this part did not support the results of De Bondt & Thaler’s (1985) paper. Secondly, it is investigated how the Finnish and the US macroeconomic factors are seen to be affecting the stock market valuation in Finnish Stock Markets during economic crises. This is done to explain better the changes in the successes of the winner-loser performance. The crises included different amount of selected macro factors. Two latest crises involved as well few selected US macro factors. Exclusively the IT-Bubble -crisis had the most statistically significant results with the US factors. Two other crises did not receive statistically significant results. An extra research was produced to study do the US macro factors impact more significantly on Finnish stock exchange after lags. The selected lags were three, six, nine and twelve months. Three and six month lagged US macro factors during the IT-Bubble -crisis improved the results. The extra research did not improve the results of the Subprime -crisis.

Tras dos décadas con todo a favor para las entidades bancarias españolas, sobre todo para las cajas de ahorros, en cuento a su crecimiento y su expansión, la llegada de la crisis actual ha cambiado toda esta tendencia. El proceso de reestructuración del sistema bancario español a partir de 2009 provoca grandes transformaciones dentro del sector financiero, que afectan especialmente a las mismas cajas. Estos cambios son visibles a diferentes escalas del territorio. Por ello en este trabajo descubriremos el comportamiento de las oficinas bancarias en la ciudad de Lleida, especialmente durante el reciente período para averiguar las repercusiones que pueden tener estas medidas en una ciudad de tamaño medio, pero para ello encuadraremos nuestro trabajo en otras escalas territoriales.

Aquest Treball Final de Grau se centra en la gestió de comunicació en les situacions de crisis institucionals, donat que aquestes han demostrat que la imatge és un dels actius més rellevants en les organitzacions. Per atenuar totes les conseqüències negatives de les crisis, s’ha de comprometre’s a la preparació i a la prevenció dels riscos des de tots els punts de vista. Les crisis ben gestionades poden ser oportunitats per reposicionar una marca i, a la vegada, enfortir-la. Per aquest motiu, una bona gestió de crisis és la base per intentar evitar una crisis o, en el cas que succeeixi, sortir il·lès de les conseqüències i millorar la imatge de l’entitat. A més a més, per recalcar la importància d’una bona preparació abans que esdevingui la crisis, s’analitza un cas - la crisis sanitària de l’ebola a España - on es reflexa clarament la necessitat d’estar previngut.

This paper compares different times of museums considering the situation of the past two decades. It reflects on the upswing and down, knowing that partake of the latter and we are in a deep crisis and unsustainable policies dictating contradictory. This situation raises the museums with their own project and creative professionals can better overcome difficulties because they do not suffer crisis of ideas. Some paradoxes are evident as the case of Greece, the place where the museums are repositories of highly relevant cultural values and the same institutions that have enhanced their improvement in the years of the upswing, they currently require, cuts that put them in a position risk. Similarly we can see that policies are applied to thin the identity of museums since they rely on adjustments that do not study each particular case. Alternatively there is the creativity and efforts of managers and professionals in general and cooperative work. It gives details of some of our participatory projects that go in this direction and to be successfully applied

Culture has several meanings: civilization, creation, knowledge, life… We analyze how each one suffers the so-called crisis of culture. Civilization lives the crisis as «liquidity», according to Bauman’s diagnosis, with significant negative impact on education. The creation and enjoyment of cultural products, such as museums, suffer its crisis as fragility resulting from the civilization crisis, notably in the form of consumerist banality or pure entertainment. Culture as knowledge and as life is analyzed under the joint notion «humanistic culture». This, which in turn is creation, knowledge and life has its specific corruption in the elitist knowledge, merely theoretical. The hallmark of genuine humanism contains an essential component, the dimension of ethical and political commitment. The crisis in the humanistic studies, noted by Nussbaum, threats the values of humanistic culture; in particular is a political risk, because democracy is a system that needs to sustain and improve the values of humanistic culture. In the background, and beyond the differences between the cultural meanings, there is a unique cultural crisis, a crisis of ethics and politics at a time

EONIA is a market based overnight interest rate, whose role as the starting point of the yield curve makes it critical from the perspective of the implementation of European Central Bank´s common monetary policy in the euro area. The financial crisis that started in 2007 had a large impact on the determination mechanism of this interest rate, which is considered as the central bank´s operational target. This thesis examines the monetary policy implementation framework of the European Central Bank and changes made to it. Furthermore, we discuss the development of the recent turmoil in the money market. EONIA rate is modelled by means of a regression equation using variables related to liquidity conditions, refinancing need, auction results and calendar effects. Conditional volatility is captured by an EGARCH model, and autocorrelation is taken into account by employing an autoregressive structure. The results highlight how the tensions in the initial stage of the market turmoil were successfully countered by ECB´s liquidity policy. The subsequent response of EONIA to liquidity conditions under the full allotment liquidity provision procedure adopted after the demise of Lehman Brothers is also established. A clear distinction in the behavior of the interest rate between the sub-periods was evident. In the light of the results obtained, some of the challenges posed by the exit-strategy implementation will be addressed.

The purpose of this study is to define what determinants affect the Credit spread. There are two theoretical frameworks to study this: structural models and reduced form models. Structural models indicate that the main determinants are company leverage, volatility and risk-free interest rate, and other market and firm-specific variables. The purpose is to determine which of these theoretical determinants can explain the CDS spread and also how these theoretical determinants are affected by the financial crisis in 2007. The data is collected from 30 companies in the US Markets, mainly S&P Large Cap. The sample time-frame is 31.1.2004 – 31.12.2009. Empirical studies indicate that structural models can explain the CDS spreads well. Also, there were significant differences between bear and bull markets. The main determinants explaining CDS spreads were leverage and volatility. The other determinants were significant, depending on the sample period. However, these other variables did not explain the spread consistently.

This thesis studies cash and short term investments to net assets ratio of Finnish industrial companies during financial crisis, and how different firm specific and macro economical variables affect cash and short term investments. The data consists of quarter level interim reports. Regression analysis was used to find out the effects of different variables. Regression models were formed based on previous studies on cash holdings. It was found that firms studied held more cash during financial crisis than before it. Cash and short-term investments acted as substitute of net working capital. Leverage had a positive and significant relationship to cash and short term investment ratio. It was also found out that firms have a target cash and short term investments ratio.
