El presente trabajo tiene como propósito medir la intención emprendedora en estudiantes universitarios tomando en consideración la Teoría de la Conducta Percibida (TCP) desarrollada por Ajzen (1991), el instrumento utilizado es un Cuestionario de Intención Emprendedora (CIE) desarrollado por Krueger (2000) y aprobado en España por Rueda (2011), esta encuesta fue enviada a 1430 correos de estudiantes de diferentes universidades tanto pública como privadas de la Zona administrativa 8 que comprenden los cantones de Guayaquil, Durán y Samborondón en Ecuador, en la que se obtuvo una tasa de respuesta del 21%, se realizó un análisis descriptivo correlacional, donde se obtuvo como resultado que existe un alto índice de intencionalidad en  el grupo estudiado y que es explicado fuertemente por la actitud hacia la conducta y por la autoeficacia percibida, lo que comprueba la fiabilidad y validez del instrumento utilizado.

The attraction of foreign direct investment is a common objective in developing countries, and this broad aim is carried out with different approaches in public policies. Corporate social responsibility is very common in international corporations, and it tends to produce a positive image for investors and in the surrounding society. This study aims to clarify the influence of the enhancement of corporate social responsibility by companies established in Tunisia as a consequence of the host country government general policies on the attraction of direct foreign investment. We propose the testing of a conceptual framework that describes this influence and explains the benefits of the social commitment, especially when it will be encouraged by public policies which can favor the attraction of foreign investments. The paper opted for an exploratory analysis on a sample of foreign companies with subsidiaries in the country. It contains a descriptive analysis, a study of the reliability of the scales of measurement and a principal components analysis. This approach is completed by an analysis of moment structures (AMOS) through a structural equation model linking the interactions of public policies with the development of strategies in social responsibility in companies, and their induced effects on the investment decisions in their subsidiaries. This approach tends to be associated with the sustainability and the commitment in the country, which is especially important in the present moment, with the political changes in the Maghreb region. With the models proposed, it has been shown that public policies, in addition to having a direct impact on investment decisions, can produce positive effects when they are carried out with the aim of promoting sustainable growth, and using indirect tools like the promotion of corporate social strategies in the companies that are already established in the country.

Si bien uno de los problemas que afectan a todos los grupos de población es el desernpleo, el objetivo del presente estudio es el análisis de esta situación entre los recién titulados. As% tal y como indica Corrales, et al (20Q3) tina situación en la gz.ie la mayorparte de los jóvenes saliera del sistema educativo y encontrara sin dificultad un empleo sería ciertamente tranquilizadoia, tanto para los jóvenes como para la sociedad en su conjunto, sin embargo, in realidad muestra que una parte importante de/os jóvenes, tras salir de sistema educativo, se enfrenta a importantes dificultades para encontrar un empleo y, en muchos casos, acaba desempleado o inactivo. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos del analisis del la situación

The purpose of this article is to present and test a conceptual framework that describes how the government’s commitment in improving corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices promotes the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Tunisia. As such, this conceptual framework inspires the existence of an interaction between the improvement of CSR practices by public policies (PP), and the attraction of FDI. In this regard, this study applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to empirically test this proposed model. It finds that the Tunisian government is valuing CSR and considering it as an investment. It presents examples of instruments, PP and tools that encourage to adopt CSR practices, thus, enhancing the attraction of FDI, which will have a positive impact on the growth of the country in terms of wealth creation, jobs and poverty reduction.

En la década de los noventa en el sector financiero se produjo  un proceso sin precedentes de fusiones y adquisiciones en toda Europa. Esta tendencia se inició en Estados Unidos en los ochenta, extendiéndose rápidamente al continente europeo. El estudio realiza un análisis de las variables que tienen un efecto marginal sobre la probabilidad por parte de una entidad financiera de participar en un proceso de reestructuración financiera como entidad fusionada o nacionalizada. Para ello se usan modelos con variable endógena categórica para representar las distintas situaciones de absorción consideradas. En el proceso de modelización se han utilizado las técnicas econométricas usuales de selección de variable y la interpretabilidad financiera de éstas.    In the nineties in the financial sector, there was an unprecedented process of mergers and acquisitions in Europe. This trend started in the United States in the eighties, quickly spreading to Europe. The study analyzes the variables that have a marginal effect on the probability by a financial institution to participate in a process of financial restructuring as a merged or nationalized entity. For this, categorical models with endogenous variable are used to represent the different situations of absorption being considered. In the modeling process we have used the usual econometric techniques for variable selection and their financial interpretability.
