Essays on emerging markets

Year: 2015
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis presents three essays on emerging Markets, with a special emphasis in Ecuador. The thesis uses both individual level (Chapter 1) and firm level data (Chapter 2) from Ecuador. Using dynamic pseudo panels, the first chapter finds an effect of entrepreneurship on the social mobility of Ecuadorians, with women experiencing a larger effect. The second chapter finds that FDI acts as external economies of scale, increasing the size of Ecuadorian firms. Finally, the third chapter presents a theoretical approach to the term maturity mismatch in Emerging Markets’ sovereign debt.
