O presente estudo teve por objetivo verificar a influência do recebimento de recursos financeiros por intermédio de políticas esportivas e da participação em eventos relevantes na obtenção de ...resultados esportivos em competições internacionais. A amostra deste estudo baseou-se em 907 atletas brasileiros que representaram o Brasil nas seguintes competições internacionais: Jogos Pan-Americanos de Lima 2019, Jogos Mundiais Militares (JMM) de Wuhan 2019 e Jogos Olímpicos de Verão de Tóquio 2020 (2021). Por meio da análise, pode-se observar que o fato de ser beneficiário de programas públicos esportivos e o fato de participar de competições internacionais influenciou na obtenção de resultados esportivos em competições internacionais. Pode-se perceber que receber recursos por meio de mais de um programa apresentou influência positiva, do que ser beneficiário de apenas um. Com base nestes achados, ficou exposto que o incentivo ao esporte por meio de bolsas, a participação em eventos esportivos e a quantidade de medalhas obtidas, tiveram correlação positiva com o financiamento concedido.
This open access book focuses on public actors with a role in the settlement of investment disputes. Traditional studies on actors in international investment law have tended to concentrate on ...arbitrators, claimant investors and respondent states. Yet this focus on the “principal” players in investment dispute settlement has allowed a number of other seminal actors to be neglected. This book seeks to redress this imbalance by turning the spotlight on the latter. From the investor’s home state to domestic courts, from sub-national governments to international organisations, and from political risk insurance agencies to legal defence teams in national ministries, the book critically reviews these overlooked public actors in international investment law.
The proper functioning of the EU financial market is protected by public actors, both national and supranational, who are responsible for rulemaking and for supervision of investment firms and other ...private actors. At the same time, the effectiveness of the EU legal system requires vigilance from private actors such as investment firms and their clients, who may invoke their rights before national authorities and courts. This means that investment firms have a dual role within the system, as subjects of control and enforcement, as well as agents in the maintenance of the rule of law. This book brings together a group of scholars with expertise in different legal disciplines, but a shared interest in the EU internal market and its development. It is intended to integrate a modern study of the form and function of EU rulemaking in the internal market after the financial crisis with an evaluation of core aspects of rulemaking in the financial market and, in this way, to provide a cross-cutting treatment of EU law. The book focuses on the regulatory framework in MiFID II and MiFIR, and the following thematic questions: what are the legal mechanisms for accountability, and what is the role of investment firms in the operation of those mechanisms?; what are the implications of the answers to the previous question for EU law and the EU legal system?; how do the findings contribute to the understanding of the concept of accountability?
Em face da intensificação dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas, e das limitações das estratégias de mitigação em enfrentá-los, a temática da adaptação vem ganhando crescente importância. Este artigo ...apresenta parte dos resultados de uma ampla pesquisa que mapeou as iniciativas e os projetos em adaptação implementados pelo setor público, por organizações não governamentais e pelo setor privado, em todos os segmentos da atividade econômica e em todas as regiões do país, analisando em particular o destino dos investimentos do sistema financeiro privado. Aponta os principais vetores dos projetos de adaptação, concluindo que o binômio água-clima concentra a maior parte dos financiamentos desse segmento, e que os desafios colocados requerem uma coordenação articulada entre financiamento, governo e comunidade acadêmica.
Sports in Brazil and in the world are sources of employment and income. Despite being the most popular sport in the country and having several fans, football clubs do not participate in the Brazilian ...stock market. Observing this fact, the research identified the degree of probability of the team fan turning into an investor. Therefore, a quantitative research of the survey type, using the Likert scale, was carried out with 283 fans from several soccer teams in Brazil. Nonparametric statistics were used to analyze the data. The research hypothesized about the gender, age, income and fans of the largest Brazilian teams. The survey results indicate that respondents are in the "undecided / doubtful" category. Genders do not have different indexes, however, numerically women have more confidence in investing. Age and income, too, do not influence the likelihood of becoming an investor. Finally, even the teams with a large number of fans did not differ from the other teams in relation to the option to invest. The research aims to contribute to the analysis of the strategy of association between fans and investors with possible policies for the construction of investment environments in soccer clubs in Brazil.
Os esportes no Brasil e no mundo são fontes de emprego e renda. Apesar de ser o esporte mais popular no país e possuir torcedores diversos, os clubes de futebol não participam no mercado de ações brasileiro. Observando este fato, a pesquisa identificou o grau de probabilidade do torcedor do time transformar-se em um investidor. Portanto, foi realizada pesquisa quantitativa do tipo survey, utilizando a escala de Likert, com 283 torcedores de diversos times de futebol no Brasil. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada estatística não paramétrica. A pesquisa lançou hipóteses acerca do gênero, idade, renda e torcedores dos maiores times brasileiros. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os entrevistados se encontram na categoria dos “indecisos/duvidosos”. Os gêneros não possuem índices diferentes, porém, numericamente as mulheres possuem mais confiança no investimento. A idade e a renda, também, não demonstram influenciar na probabilidade de tornar-se investidor. Por fim, mesmo os times com grande número de torcedores, não se diferenciaram dos demais times em relação a opção de investir. A pesquisa visa contribuir para a análise da estratégia de associação entre torcedores a investidores e com possíveis políticas para construção de ambientes de investimentos em clubes de futebol no Brasil.
How to leverage existing resources to meet the current and future needs of cities
Crumbling streets and bridges. Poorly performing schools and inadequate social services. These are common complaints ...in cities, which too often struggle just to keep the lights on, much less make the long-term investments necessary for future generations.
It doesn't have to be this way. This book by two internationally recognized experts in public finance describes a new way of restoring economic vitality and financial stability to cities, using steps that already have been proven remarkably successful. The key is unlocking social, human, and economic wealth that cities already own but is out of sight-or "hidden." A focus on existing public wealth helps to shift attention and resources from short-term spending to longer-term investments that can vastly raise the quality of life for many generations of urban residents.
A crucial first step is to understand a city's balance sheet-too few cities comprehend how valuable a working tool this can be. With this in hand, taxpayers, politicians, and investors can better recognize the long-term consequences of political decisions and make choices that mobilize real returns rather than rely on more taxes, debt, or austerity.
Another hidden asset is real estate. Even poor cities own large swathes of poorly utilized land, or they control underperforming utilities and other commercial assets. Most cities could more than double their investments with smarter use of these commercial assets. Managing the city's assets smartly through the authors' proposed Urban Wealth Funds-at arm's-length from short-term political influence-will enable cities to ramp up much needed infrastructure investments.
