    Impacto de la inclusión de commodities en un portafolio para el Mila y Brasil
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Clavijo Moreno, John Jaime Andrés; Sánchez Moreno, Edwin Libardo; Botero Ramírez, Juan Carlos
    The process of globalization that has occurred in the last 30 years has offered a variety of investment alternatives for the various actors participating in the financial market. Each investor adapts these alternatives to their risk profile, trying to find the most efficient point from a mean-variance perspective. Traditionally, sovereign bonds are sought, accompanied by investments with a higher risk component such as stocks. Commodities become an alternative to generate a wider portfolio diversification than the traditional one. Gao and Nardi (2008) suggest that these assets possess “qualities that allow for high returns, risk diversification, and protection against inflation" (p. 366). Taking the above into consideration, this work aims to measure the impact of the inclusion of commodities in a portfolio of stock market indices, stocks, and fix income for the members countries of the Latin American Integrated Market -MILA- and Brazil, in a period ranging from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. The result is the design of a portfolio with the best assets under the mean-variance optimization model developed by Harry Markowitz.

    Impactos de la dependencia de commodities en el crecimiento económico
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Gil Macías, Miguel Ángel; Rendón Pulgarín, Luis Alejandro; Goda, Thomas
    The motivation of this work is to find new evidence linked to the possible existence of a resource curse, with the objective of verifying if there are different effects of exports of agricultural, mining and hydrocarbon products on long-term economic growth. For this purpose, we propose the analysis through an empirical model in order to identify what type of resource export generates a greater impact on economic activity. For this, a GMM dynamic panel model was carried out, analyzing 185 countries in the last 30 years. The main result of this model is that we do not find evidence that supports the theory of a resource curse, but we do find positive effects of commodity exports on growth. However, these effects are not robust.

    Marca privada: oportunidades y estrategias en USA y Francia para la categoría café
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2013) Quintero Pérez, Diana Carolina
    Coffee is one of the main commodities of the world and it has been an important part of Colombia’s income, thanks to high consumer recognition internationally and the high production level, proving to Colombian coffee a special identity. However the mayor part of those incomes have been generated by green coffee trading, with no added value as it has been the response from many producers to the challenges that Colombian companies face when trying to obtain brand positioning outside the local market -- On the other hand, globalization presents new tests for the companies, bringing into consideration additional topics such us product distribution, competitiveness as well as brand and product positioning due to the incoming and growing international competition and private labels -- Therefore this proposal will detail coffee category environment in the United States and France, trough a trip to those markets in order to identify the main competitors, main packaging formats, prices and product exhibition, describing the markets to identify opportunities and general strategies -- Even though private label has grown in the last years, sector studies were no identified that support coffee producers knowledge of this type of opportunities that could generate attractive volumes for production and sales, invigorating their activity and supporting country economy growth

    Uncommoditizing strategies by emerging market firms
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2019-07-15) Cuervo-Cazurra, A.; Carneiro, J.; Finchelstein, D.; Duran, P.; Gonzalez-Perez, Maria Alejandra; Montoya, M.A.; Borda Reyes, A.; Fleury, M.T.L.; Newburry, W.
    Purpose: This paper aims to analyze how emerging market firms upgrade their capabilities by focusing on “uncommoditizing strategies” that enable them to achieve levels of international competitiveness beyond the comparative advantages of their home countries and serve markets with premium pricing, quality and reputation of products. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, the authors studied 18 Latin American companies across six countries. Latin America represents an ideal setting because many of these countries have traditionally developed using natural resource endowments, and their firms have tended to rely on these in their internationalization. To facilitate the analysis of each case and the comparisons across cases, the authors used the same analytical framework for the companies, identifying the sources of differentiation and cost efficiency strategies that enabled these firms to upgrade their capabilities and compete on the basis of premium pricing, quality and reputation. Findings: The analysis identified a general framework that represents an abstraction of the actions taken by these companies over time. The proposed model consists of three main elements used to pursue uncommoditizing strategies: tropicalized innovation, global efficiency and coordinated control. Originality/value: Recent research on emerging market firms has shown interest in how these firms upgrade their capabilities. This paper contributes to this stream of research by providing an overarching framework that not only bridged previous narrower studies but also explained how firms can develop uncommoditizing strategies to upgrade their capabilities. Further, this paper helps managers by providing a comprehensive yet succinct overview of the main strategies that they can use to help their firms to achieve international competitiveness. © 2018, Emerald Publishing Limited.
