SDG #. Description

O Nova SBE Economics of Education Knowledge Center won a call for the 2021-2023 Studies Program from Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos. The project is called The Economic Returns of Education: students, workers, and managers and is coordinated by Luís Catela Nunes. Pedro Martins, Francisco Queiró, Ana Balcão Reis, Pedro Freitas, Gonçalo Lima, Miguel Estevinho Nunes, and Teresa Thomas are part of the team that will  study the transition to the labor market of students from vocational education and students from higher education, as well as managers' training, to understand:

  • The wage premium and employability of different areas and courses of vocational education;
  • The wage return and  employability of different courses in higher education;
  • The impact that managers' training has on companies' productivity and the hiring of their workers.

 With this project, Nova SBE will receive around 138 000 euros.

José Tavares won a FCT project

José Tavares won a project in the Competition for research projects “The 25th of April and Portuguese democracy”, promoted by FCT in collaboration with the 50 years of the 25th of April Commemorative Commission. The Legacy of Conflict on Socioeconomic Dynamics and Human Behavior: Evidence from Portugal’s Veterans of War will analyze the socio-economic trajectories of Portuguese war veterans who served in military operations in African territories from 1961 to 1974.

  • Eduardo Costa e Céu Mateus new article

    We invite you to read this article authored by Eduardo Costa and Céu Mateus, alongside other authors, titled: "The economic burden experienced by carers of children who had a critical deterioration at a tertiary children’s hospital in the United Kingdom (the DETECT Study): an online survey."

    Unplanned critical care admissions following in-hospital deterioration in children are expected to impose a significant burden for carers across several dimensions. One dimension relates to the financial and economic impact associated with the admission, from both direct out-of-pocket expenditures, as well as indirect costs, reflecting productivity losses. A robust assessment of these costs is key to understand the wider impact of interventions aiming to reduce in-patient deterioration. This work aims to determine the economic burden imposed on carers caring for hospitalized children that experience critical deterioration events.

Researchers Corner

Value-Based Healthcare – The Road to Knowhere

This PhD research addresses the myriad challenges confronting in the healthcare sector, focusing on the implementation of the Value-Based Healthcare (VBHC) model. VBHC aims to enhance healthcare delivery by aligning resources with clinical outcomes that matter most to patients, thus fostering a healthcare system that is economically sustainable and highly effective. The relevance of this research investigates the dimensions influencing a paradigm shift necessitated by the need for evidence-backed value creation. In this pursuit, it is confronted the escalating quandary of optimizing healthcare delivery in a new framework of healthcare management. Despite the theoretical promise of VBHC, its practical application has encountered numerous obstacles, including inconsistent execution and limited empirical support mainly notably in dimensions like Change Readiness, Trust, Leadership and Organizational Culture. Is VBHC on a road to nowhere?


This research is contributing to the literature by delineating the complexities of organizational theory in VBHC implementation and offering pragmatic recommendations for healthcare systems aiming to adopt this model by stratifying dimensions into four overarching categories: Foundational Pillars of Value-Based Healthcare, Collaborative Ecosystem, Organizational Mindset, and External Landscape Influencing VBHC. By delineating a clear and actionable framework for healthcare providers and policymakers it leads to a more efficient, effective, and patient-centered healthcare systems that creates value.
