This paper provides a review of empirical research on pension accounting. Empirical research on pension accounting has focused mainly on two issues, the value-relevance of pension accounting information and earnings management in pension accounting. Further work has been done on the information efficiency of capital markets with regard to pension accounting information. I outline how research in these areas has evolved over the past decades and discuss the results that have been obtained. I also point out methodological issues. Furthermore, this review reveals that almost all existing studies on pension accounting are based on US accounting and capital-market data. I therefore discuss which effects national or regional differences in, for instance, pension regulation, taxation and fundi...

This author draws upon recent research to explain the popularity of intrinsic rewards and how these rewards can be used to build a high-engagement culture. Extrinsic rewards -- usually financial -- are the tangible rewards given employees by managers, such as pay raises, bonuses, and benefits. They are called "extrinsic" because they are external to the work itself and other people control their size and whether or not they are granted. Here are seven guidelines for building a culture that supports high levels of engagement and intrinsic rewards: 1. Begin with a meaningful purpose. 2. Build intrinsic motivation and engagement into management training and executive coaching. 3. Focus conversations on meaningfulness, choice, competence and progress. 4. Pay special attention to building in...

Looking at the underlying trends there does seem to be some encouraging, yet tentative, news on exports - stripping out oil and erratics, export volumes were more than 8% up on a year earlier. [...] recently the exports data had been puzzlingly weak given that the surveys were reporting surging export orders.

ALTHOUGH it was meant as a joke, but I'd say it sounds like a plan. The Financial Times suggests that the solution for Portugal - heading for an EU/IMF bail-out, with a collapsed government, a parliament which refuses to pass further austerity measures and chronic economic underperformance - is annexation by its former colony, Brazil.
Think about it. The Portuguese economy has stagnated for a decade. It is no coincidence that Portugal joined the single currency a decade ago. The country is one of the PIIGS, the peripheral eurozone economies along with Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain, that are collapsing, one after the other, trapped by the euro in an impossible debt burden and shrinking economies.
