Abstract
There is a generalized lack of clear definitions and estimations as to what represents cultural activities and creative industries. This paper critically reviews the growing corpus of literature on approaches to the measurement of creative industries and presents a detailed mapping of the creative sectors according to relevant industry- based methodologies. Using a unique official database, Quadros de Pessoal/ Matched Employer-Employee Dataset, which includes over 3 million workers, we found that, for Portugal, depending on the approach used, the size of creative industries differs considerably, ranging from 2.5% (DCMS model) to 4.6% (WIPO copyright model). We further propose a distinct industry-based approach focusing on core creative industries. Accordingly, core creative industries represent 3.5% of Portuguese employment, in which ‘software publishing’/‘computer consultancy’ (1.0%), ‘publishing’ (1.0%) and ‘advertising and marketing’ (0.4%) are the most relevant sub-segments. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract
The relationship between FDI and corruption/institutional quality in host countries has been widely analyzed. However, the use of distinct samples and indicators for corruption tends to hinder the interpretation and outcomes of econometric assessments. The aims of this paper are to assess the extent to which the use of distinct proxies for corruption provides diverse evidence regarding the relationship between corruption and FDI, and to assess whether controlling for other indicators of institutional quality reinforces the effect of corruption indicators on FDI inflows. In order to accomplish these goals, we estimate a set of multivariate logistic models using 96 countries over the period 2000 to 2010. The results evidence that using distinct proxies for corruption variables, as well as controlling for other types of the countries' institutional quality, generate distinct outcomes. In isolation, a country's transparency and its citizens' corruption perceptions fail to impact on FDI whereas a bribe-free environment is conducive to FDI inflows. When we control for the human, social and economic development of the countries, the impact of a transparent and bribe-free context on FDI attraction is enhanced. Overall, it is clear that in order to become a large recipient of FDI a country has to guarantee a transparent and bribe-free environment, characterized by low income taxes, high literacy rates and generalized economic freedom (own labor and property control by citizens).

Abstract
Corruption is increasingly placed on top of the agenda of national governments and supra national institutions, such as the OECD, UN or the World Bank. A necessary condition for promoting sustainable economic growth is the pre-existence of a stable political system which is able to control corruption. Corruption, however, is a very complex issue, associated with institutional and cultural specificities, personality traits related to individualistic values, and criminal personalities. In this book the social, political and economic realities that prevail in particular settings are viewed from an interdisciplinary, multidimensional, and a multi country perspective. This book is divided into three parts. The first part presents a comprehensive, theoretical and empirical framework of corruption with an overview of literature on economic growth and corruption. Part two, encompasses the in-depth analysis of several countries, ranging from middle corrupted contexts like Portugal, to highly corrupted countries including Serbia, Russia, Thailand and China- the latter viewed from the perspective of firms from a very low corruption country such as Finland. The final part explores the prevention and control of corruption, looking at the public sector in Thailand and fighting corruption with different strategies. This volume is of the interest of those who study international economics, development economics or organised crime.

Abstract
O objetivo do estudo é verificar e compreender a relação entre o desenvolvimento motor da criança e suas características empreendedoras. A relevância do estudo resulta do carácter inovador devido à escassez de trabalhos científicos que relacionam, em crianças, o desenvolvimento motor e o empreendedorismo. Não será relevante compreender como ocorre o desenvolvimento de competências empreendedoras nas crianças e como promovê-las? Será possível, a longo prazo, melhorar a qualidade de vida dos cidadãos evitando comportamentos sedentários adquiridos na infância, bem como promover a autonomia e responsabilidade perante uma sociedade que se tornará mais sustentável do ponto de vista social, económica e financeira.;The aim of the study is to assess and understand the relationship between the child's motor development and their entrepreneurial characteristics. The relevance of the study results from the innovative character due to lack of scientific papers that associate motor development and entrepreneurship in children. Won't it be relevant to understand how the development of entrepreneurial skills occur in children and how to promote them? lf students with better motor development would present a greater number of entrepreneurial characteristics, it will be possible to describe indicators that show the importance of stimulating the motor and entrepreneurial skills at early ages and that will contribute to rethink the education of children and consequently the teacher training. lt will be possible, improve the quality of life avoiding sedentary behaviors acquired in childhood, as well as promoting autonomy and responsibility to a society that will become more sustainable in social, economic and financial point of view.
