Abstract: This paper aims to determine the factors that influence the participation of the Sub-Saharan Africa countries in the global value chain (GVC). The paper use of a spatial panel Model to show that the variability of participation in the global value chain is explained by the total factor productivity, the dollar rate, the terms of trade, the type of economic zone and the degree of integration of countries into the Global Economy (Globalization). Empirical evidence displays a positive link between the total factor productivity growth and the participation in the global value chain. The rise of the Dollar against the Euro strengthens the participation in the global value chain. The deterioration of the terms of trade decreases participation in the global value chain. Special Economic Zones have a positive effect on the global value chain. On the other hand, a significant negative relationship between the free trade zones and participation in the GVC is observed. Finally, with the exception of the Economic Globalization Index and Political Index, all the other indexes have a positive and significant impact on participation in the GVC. The Sub-Saharan African countries have an interest in becoming more integrated into the globalization of trade, information technology and finance. They must also promote economic and political integration.

Abstract: Currently, public managers have the challenge of combining intense demand for essential services for the population with limited financial resources. Due to this fact, they submit themselves to gradually seek more efficiency in decision making. The literature shows us that analysis via indicators extracted from accounting balance sheets is one of the vital mechanisms to contribute to this purpose. Thus, the research aimed to answer the following question: Are the accounting indicators, calculated through the balance sheets of the municipalities of Espírito Santo, related to the amount invested in education? Regarding the methodology, it is a bibliographic and quantitative research. To answer the research question, the following statistical methods were used: descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression and Pearson correlation. The results found indicate that some quotients used in the research, such as Budget Result Quotient (BRQ), Current Liquidity (CL) and Debt Composition (DC), showed a statistically significant relationship with the amount invested in education. Through the results, we note the importance of using accounting indicators to suggest ways that can help public managers in making a decision to invest more or not, that is, whether it is better to increase or reduce their assets and liabilities in order to increasingly improve the services provided to society, generating more efficiency and quality for its stakeholders.
