The paper aims at assessing technological regimes in the context of the Brazilian manufacturing industry along the 2000-2005 period. The industries were classified in terms of SM-I and SM-II technological regimes by means of multivariate statistical methods based on variable approximating...

The article investigated structure-conduct-performance (SCP) relationships in the context of the Brazilian manufacturing industry in 1996. For that purpose, it considered a system with four equations pertaining concentration, advertising, R&D and profitability that was estimated with...

This article further investigated wave behaviours for mergers and acquisitions - M&A in the UK during the 1969Q1/2004Q1 period by means of Markov-Switching models. Previous analysis had focussed on traditional models that incorporate the potentially limiting assumption of constant transition...

The paper investigates the relationship between profit margins and business cycle in the Brazilian industry during the 1992-1998 period, taking as reference a dynamic panel data model founded around a conjectural variation framework. The empirical results indicate procyclical behaviour of profit...
