International Trade: threats and opportunities in a globalized world.
Abstract
The aim of the conference is to bring together high quality academic papers that analyze the interactions between the new wave of globalization and the real economy of developed countries, and especially contributions that study the determinants and consequences of participation to international trade and foreign direct investments. The fragmentation of the production processes across the world has resulted in a massive increase in the vertical trade of parts and components and has given rise to a growing choir of anxious voices. Globalization opens up threats and opportunities to developed countries whose balance needs to be further investigated.Researcher(s)

Abstract
This project takes a long-term perspective on the role of business groups. Using a unique database of Belgium listed companies over the 19th and 20th century, and taking into account the evolution of institutions, we study how business groups affect company performance, and how business groups use political connections to pursue the interests of their owners.Researcher(s)

Construction of a "Bell-20 index" for all stock quoted shares on the Brussel Stock Exchange during the period 1832-2005. Comparison with the returns on the Belgian Banking sector, the risk free rate and the all share index and other portfolios.
Abstract
The project has practical objectives and aims at calculating a "BEL-20 index" (capital gain as well as total return index) for the period 1832-2005 for the Brussels Stock Exchange. These indices will be compared with returns calculated for the risk free rate, for the banking sector, for the all share index and other portfolios of the Brussels Stock Exchange for the same period. By doing so a brand new benchmark will be available for a long historical period.Researcher(s)

Causes and Consequences of Interlocking Directorships and Seat Accumulation in Belgian Companies.
Abstract
In this research project we investigate the causes and consequences of interlocking directorships and seat accumulation in Belgian companies. First, we investigate the determinants of interlocking directorships. Second, we investigate how interlocking directorships on firm value. To what extent do interlocking directorships destroy or create value? We analyze the impact on both stock market value and accounting profitability, taking into account other firm characteristics. In a first part of the study, we investigate interlocking directorships of listed Belgian companies in the period 1893-1935.Researcher(s)
