2025 , Morales Molina, Tania , Ximena Morales-Urrutia , Marcelo Mantilla Falcón , Estefanía Cayo-Hurtado

The objective of the research is to analyze the intellectual capital and financial performance of concessionaires in the city of Ambato in the period 2018–2022. In order to analyze intellectual capital, the Intellectual Added Value Coefficient (VAICTM) was used, while to measure financial performance, the profitability indicators ROA and ROE were used. The methodology used was quantitative in nature, the sample was 11 dealerships belonging to ISIC G4510.01 corresponding to the sale of vehicles. According to the results obtained, it is shown that the Ciudad del Auto CIAUTO Cía dealerships. Ltda., and Ambacar Cía. Ltda., have the best indices in each of the components of intellectual capital. However, when analyzing these values using the Pearson Correlation, it was concluded that the VAICTM has no relationship with the financial performance in the 5 years studied, since salaries and wages are low in relation to the income received by the concessionaires.

The population consisted of 11,581 people and the sample consisted of 116 people chosen by non-probabilistic convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire was applied personally to collect the data. The results denoted that the economic capital and environment of a country represent a future prognosis in the economic coverage to ensure education, health, food, personal privileges that improve the lifestyles of individuals and their families. The results of this research can be useful to evidence the project of local public policies that collaborate to the prevention of diseases as a determining factor in the economic progress and living conditions of individuals in Ecuador

Unemployment and Vulnerability in Ecuador

2024 , Morales Molina, Tania , Ximena Morales-Urrutia , Anderson Argothy , Génesis Assef

In Ecuador, both the vulnerable sectors and the informal and underemployed workers face challenges in terms of employment and working conditions. Informality implies a lack of protection and benefits, while underemployment affects the quality of life. Inclusive policies are required to address these issues and promote equitable development. The objective of this study is to explain the incidence of vulnerable sectors in informality and underemployment in Ecuador for the foundation of public policies. The data analyzed comes from the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment (ENEMDU) - Accumulated. The results indicate that vulnerable sectors have a great impact on informality and underemployment regardless of factors such as gender, education and area.
