Remittances from international migration: a comparison of El Salvador and Nicaragua

Article Abstract:

A research study compared remittance patterns in household data from El Salvador and Nicaragua to analyze the determinants of remittances from global migration. The households in San Salvador, El Salvador received remittances from migrant relatives that amounted to nearly double the amount received by households in Managua, Nicaragua. Salvadorans received an average of $119 monthly while Nicaraguans received $45 each month. Behavioral coefficients and self-selection bias variations are believed to have caused these differences.

Deregulation, firm capabilities and diversifying entry decisions: the case of financial services

Article Abstract:

Edith Penrose and David J. Teece's resource-based view that business enterprises are collections of fixed assets or competencies leads to the assumption that diversification patterns will show that more pronounced attempts to use these properties have been made. The Penrose-Teece perspective also suggests that diversification attempts are not confined to a firm's activities. Rather, it extends to joint ventures allowed by contracting costs.
