- Caracterização socioeconómica e análise do impacto económico do ano 2012, do Instituto Politécnico de LeiriaPublication . Oliveira, Pedro; Cunha, Jorge; Silva, José Manuel; Lucas, Eugénio Pereira; Nicolau, AnaAcompanhando a prática de outros países e recomendações de organizações internacionais, tem vindo a ganhar peso a preocupação por parte das instituições do ensino superior (IES) em estimar o impacto económico que resulta da sua atividade nas regiões onde se encontram inseridas e também os decisores regionais e a população em geral revelam interesse em conhecer essa realidade e avaliar a sua importância no desenvolvimento local e regional. No presente contexto de crise económica e de constrangimentos orçamentais é exigido cada vez mais às instituições uma cultura de accountability (prestação de contas) que justifique o financiamento público envolvido na qualificação dos alunos e na produção e difusão do conhecimento. Assim, torna-se imperativo para as IES justificar a forma como são utilizados os meios financeiros de que dispõem e os impactos que estes originam nas regiões onde aquelas estão implantadas (...)
- Socioeconomic characterization and analysis of the economic impact of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, in 2012Publication . Oliveira, Pedro; Cunha, Jorge; Silva, José Manuel; Lucas, Eugénio Pereira; Nicolau, AnaTaking the practice of other countries and recommendations of international organizations into account, higher education institutions (IES) are showing a growing concern in estimating the economic impact resulting from their activity in the regions where they are inserted; regional decision-makers and the population in general also show interest in knowing about that reality and also evaluate its importance in local and regional development. In the current context of economic crisis and budget constraints, institutions are required to have a culture of accountability that can justify public financing involved in students’ qualification and in the production and spread of knowledge. Therefore, it has become urgent for IES to justify how their financial means are used and the impact they cause in the regions where they are established (...)
- The socio-economic impact of a Polytechnic Institution in a local economy: some insights of field researchPublication . Cunha, Jorge; Alves, João; Carvalho, Luísa; Correia, Florbela; Farinha, Luís; Fernandes, Joana; Ferreira, Manuela; Lucas, Eugénio; Nicolau, Ana; Nunes, Sandra; Nunes, Sara; Oliveira, Pedro; Pereira, Cristina; Pinto, Sandra; Silva, José ManuelHigher Education Institutions (HEI) are considered important mechanisms of regional development. However, due to the current economic recession and budget constraints, HEIs need to demonstrate the impact that their activities have on the surrounding community that contributes for its economic development. Hence, the aim of this paper is to present the results of a model to estimate the economic impact of different HEIs that are located in regions with different socio-economic development. Moreover, the common framework of analysis, whilst considering the different socio-economic realities, allows the comparisons of the results for the different HEIS.
- The impact of polytechnic institutes on the local economyPublication . Alves, João; Carvalho, Luísa; Carvalho, Renato; Correia, Florbela; Cunha, Jorge; Farinha, Luís; Fernandes, Joana; Ferreira, Manuela; Lucas, Eugénio; Mourato, Joaquim; Nicolau, Ana; Nunes, Sara; Nunes, Sandra; Oliveira, Pedro; Pereira, Cristina; Pinto, Sandra; Silva, José ManuelHigher education institutions and, particularly, polytechnic institutes in Portugal are, generally speaking, recognised as key stakeholders in regional development. However, due to the economic recession of recent years and the consequent budget constraints, higher education institutions, now more than ever, need to demonstrate the social and cultural impact of their activities within their communities and, also, their contribution to its economic development. Thus, the aim of this paper is to estimate the economic impact of a group of polytechnic institutes located in regions with diverse socioeconomic realities, by using a common methodology. This common framework enables a comparative study and a better identification of the variables that differentiate the realities of the different regions, the respective polytechnics and their impacts.
