Abstract: The doctoral thesis comprises three distinct research papers, each approaching the impact of various shocks on sectors and companies from different perspectives.
The first study has a 'macro' view of the shocks and compares the 2008 financial crisis shock and the recent covid-19 pandemic shock in the construction sector of Spain. While, Performance" mainly pertains to the economic outcomes, productivity, and resilience of the construction sector and its impact on the broader economy. The studies assess the performance of the construction sector in terms of growth, employment generation, contribution to GDP, and responses to economic shocks. Performance is evaluated by analyzing data on housing market trends, housing starts and completions, public works tenders, employment rates, and the overall economic growth. The study also examine how the construction sector's performance has been influenced by external factors such as the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The second study has a much greater scope. Shock in the second study refers to productivity shocks occurring within Spain's manufacturing sectors. It answers several questions. Firstly, if the productivity shocks existed in Spanish firms due to FDI? Second, If the productivity shocks spillovers transmitted towards other firms in the same industry and other firms in the same region? Third about the transmission mechanism / channels of these spillovers i.e., imitation / workers mobility. The concept of "performance" is central here that explore productivity shocks, spillover effects, and their impact on firms and industries. Here, "performance" refers to the efficiency, effectiveness, and competitiveness of firms with in 20 manufacturing sectors and 17 regions of Spain for almost two decades. The study analyze productivity shocks and their propagation to neighboring firms, evaluating how certain factors like foreign direct investments (FDI) and good management practices influence firm performance and spillover effects.
Shock in the third study refers to firms experiencing shocks in its Environmental and organizational performance due to public participation, government regulations, and organizational EMS. This study is carried out for textile industry of Pakistan. Performance is used to describe the effectiveness and outcomes of environmental policies, regulations, and management practices. Performance is crucial for understanding how different sectors, industries, and policies are functioning and used to measure the effectiveness of actions taken, the outcomes achieved, and the overall impact on economic, social, and environmental aspects.
