STRUCTURAL BREAKS AND VOLATILITY PERSISTENCE IN HOTEL OCCUPANCY RATE
Get PDFPurpose: Although Singapore has been one of the most attractive destinations for international tourists over the past 20 years, little evidence exists on the dynamics of its hotel occupancy rate. Our study aims to extend this scarce literature
Design/Methodology/Approach: The present study employs time-varying volatility processes (e.g., GARCH process) and models the uncertainty associated with the hotel occupancy rate in Singapore.
Findings: The main results indicate that shocks to the occupancy rate have a long run persistence and that there are asymmetric impacts in the occupancy rate. Further analysis suggests that structural breaks emanating from extreme news or shocks exert substantial impacts on the level of uncertainty for hotel occupancy rate.
Originality/Value: Managers in the hotel industry could benefit from our findings while adopting active measures to reduce risk in tourism demand and hotel occupancy and attract more international tourists
REMAINING OR MIGRATING? A PRESPECTIVE IN THE LIGHT OF THE SDGS
Get PDFObjective: The aim of the study is limited to the complex dynamics between permanence and migration, exploring the motivations behind these population movements in the light of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the most important concepts and theories on which the research is based. Of particular note is the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)], which provides a solid basis for understanding the context of the research.
Method: The decision to return or stay is intrinsically linked to professional, social and personal factors. Professional aspects include salary considerations, working conditions and opportunities for career advancement. In contexts where the labor market is highly competitive, it can become an element of repulsion for the immigrant. On the other hand, financial incentives from the country of origin can act as attractive factors, as evidenced by the Chinese government offering benefits for the return of qualified emigrants, making professional opportunities in the country more attractive. Social aspects refer to the immigrant's adaptation to the social, political and cultural context of the host country. Personal factors, such as family situation and friendship networks, are interlinked with social and cultural issues, influencing the decision to stay or migrate.
Results and Discussion: The topics studied revealed that migrating or staying is a complex choice, influenced by various motivations. Some are rooted in economic stability and employment conditions, or even with the influence of family seen as a crucial factor, molding educational and professional decisions, transmitting values and expectations. Cultural preservation and identity stand out as fundamental elements in the decision-making process.
Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, covering factors such as geographical mobility, resistance to change, family influence, cultural preservation, identity and the socio-economic impacts of demographic change.
Originality/Value: The importance of this study arises from the scarcity of studies that have attempted to cover factors such as geographical mobility, resistance to change, family influence, cultural preservation, identity and the socio-economic impacts of demographic change
RESOLUÇÃO EXTRAJUDICIAL DE CONFLITOS SOCIETÁRIOS: O PAPEL DAS DEADLOCK CLAUSES
Get PDFObjectives: This article seeks to analyze the clauses of forced purchase and sale of quotas as a way to resolve corporate conflicts contractually, without the need for intervention by the judiciary or arbitration.
Theoretical Framework: The research is aimed at limited liability companies composed of two partners with an equal amount of quotas, as this formation is conducive to the emergence of conflicts that are hardly resolved out of court, which justifies the use of forced purchase and sale clauses for the exclusion of one of them.
Method: The research was carried out mainly through the methodology of data collection contained in bibliographic survey and jurisprudential decisions.
Results: In view of this, it was concluded, with the research, that the forced purchase and sale of quotas is an effective mechanism for the solution of corporate disagreements, and guarantees the setting of fair values for the operation, and it is also important for the preservation of the company, which is a basic principle of business law.
Discussion: The clauses of forced purchase and sale of quotas do not have a legal affirmation, consisting of a creation arising from business practice. For this reason, it is appropriate to investigate their nature, lawfulness and how they are valued in resolving disagreements. In addition, it is also necessary to investigate its variants and its effects on the possible affectio societatis existing between members of limited liability companies.
Research Implications: The use of deadlock provisions allows partners to resolve their conflict more quickly and efficiently. In addition, it reduces costs and time, which are important factors when seeking the preservation of the company. Because of this, the research brings a specific contribution in the field of corporate law, impacting not only the legal technique, but also the market agents, since they have another mechanism for the prevention and control of litigation between partners.
Originality/Value: Deadlock clauses enable the resolution of corporate conflicts contractually, without the need for intervention by the judiciary or arbitration, which reduces costs, time and consequently reinforces the principle of preservation of the company. Therefore, the application of the knowledge built through research allows a gain in economic efficiency for partners of legal entities dedicated to the exploration of business activities.Este artigo analisa as cláusulas de compra e venda forçada de quotas como forma de resolver conflitos societários contratualmente, sem a necessidade de intervenção do judiciário ou da arbitragem, o que diminui custos, tempo e consequentemente, reforça o princípio da preservação da empresa.
A pesquisa é voltada para sociedades limitadas compostas por dois sócios com quantidade igualitária de quotas, pois, essa formação é propícia para o surgimento de conflitos que dificilmente são resolvidos extrajudicialmente, o que justifica a utilização das cláusulas de compra e venda forçada para a exclusão de um deles. Além disso, por se tratar de sociedade intuitu personae no decorrer da pesquisa são analisados os efeitos dessas disposições perante a affectio societatis, e demonstrado que sua utilização serve na verdade para reforçar o vínculo dos sócios, ao manter a relações pessoais intocadas.
Diante disso, conclui-se com a pesquisa que, a compra e venda forçada de quotas é mecanismo eficaz para a solução de desavenças societárias, e garante a fixação de valores justos pela operação, sendo importante ainda para a preservação da empresa, que se trata de princípio basilar do direito empresarial
