What Explains Prevalence of Informal Employment in European Countries: The Role of Labor Institutions, Governance, Immigrants, and Growth
2011
This paper looks into institutional and other macro determinants of prevalence of informal dependent employment, as well as informal self-employment, in European countries, using European Social Survey data on work without legal contract in on 30 countries, covering years 2004-2009. Consistently with theoretical predictions, quality of business environment has a significant negative impact on prevalence of both types of informal employment. The share of non-contracted employees is negatively affected by perceived quality of public services and positively related to economic growth. Informal self-employment is positively related to growth in Europe at large, as well as in Eastern and Souther…
The Physical Education curriculum design in Spain: A critical review from the LOGSE to the LOMCE
2016
This paper analyses the curriculum framework of the different Education Acts through democracy in order to identify and compare their most distinctive features; their flexibility and the granted autonomy for schools and teachers, in order to materialise and develop the curriculum, is also dealt with in this contribution. The analysis concludes that the open and flexible curriculum of the first Education Acts in democracy has evolved towards a more closed and prescriptive curriculum, which indirectly leads into an objective-based pedagogy and places the teacher in a technical teaching role. The texts’ analysis confirms this trend in the Physical Education area, in which teachers will meet wi…

Boundary Issues in New Metropolitan Cities
2012
In the last decade, the focus of Italian politics aimed at the definition of metropolitan cities and independent associations of municipalities has become increasingly important. With regard to legislation, the issue has been considered since the 1990s, but despite several debates and legislative reforms there have been no real results. The only approach used was political-institutional, anchored in obsolete patterns and unable to deal with existing realities.Urban Planning and Urban Studies materialize the political choices in operational programs and control the evolution of urban and territorial transformations. These disciplines represent the starting point to reflect upon the process o…
The General Education Act of 1970, a law for the modernization of Spain
2021
El artículo pretende desarrollar aspectos que ayuden a una mejor comprensión de la Ley General de Educación de 1970, y para ello examina los factores que permiten hablar de una Ley para la modernización de España. En este sentido se ha considerado que el rasgo más definitorio de la Ley es su ambición modernizadora del sistema educativo; de ahí que se concrete el concepto «modernización» y se estudien los precedentes y los ejes modernizadores de la Ley. También se ha prestado atención al contexto socioeconómico y político que ayuda a entender mejor su aparición. Dada su importancia, el artículo se detiene en analizar los obstáculos y resistencias que dificultaron su génesis y su aplicación, …

Seniority rules, worker mobility and wages : evidence from multi-country linked employer-employee data
2018
We construct multi-country employer-employee data to examine the consequences of last-in, first-out rules. We identify the effects by comparing worker exit rates between different units of the same firms operating in Sweden and Finland, two countries that have different seniority rules. We observe a relatively lower exit rate for more senior workers in Sweden in the shrinking firms and among the low-wage workers. These empirical patterns are consistent with last-in, first-out rules in Sweden providing protection from dismissals for the more senior workers among the worker groups to whom the rules are most relevant. Similarly, we observe a steeper seniority-wage profile in Sweden, suggesting…
Educar para la salud en tiempos de pandemia
2021
La experiencia de la pandemia que estamos viviendo exige repensar la educación para la salud. En este trabajo lo hacemos a partir de dos conceptos procedentes de la Declaración Universal de los Derecho Humanos: primero, entender que el fin de la educación es el pleno desarrollo de la persona; y segundo, que los deberes para con la comunidad contribuyen a ese desarrollo. A partir de ellos, defendemos una concepción de la educación para la salud basada en el carácter relacional del ser humano, en la relevancia de los determinantes sociales de la salud y en los peligros del entorno digital, a pesar de los enormes beneficios que ha aportado durante la pandemia.
Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment, Survival Clauses and Reform of International Investment Law
2016
In the last decade, international investment law has been on a trajectory of rapid evolution with reform high on agenda priorities. Reform requires a reconciliation of competing interests, which is generally so difficult to achieve that it is often unclear whether an option constitutes ‘reform’ or unwanted change. Two specific treaty provisions, the most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment and survival clauses, can interfere with the reform process and become an impediment to changing the rules of the game. This is particularly true when political will is present. The MFN treatment, a guarantee of non-discrimination present in the quasi-totality of investment treaties, can have far-reaching ram…
The Design and Execution of Performance Management Systems at State Level: A Comparative Analysis of Italy and Malaysia
2016
ABSTRACTThis comparative study analyses the experience of Italy and Malaysia in the design and execution of performance management systems at the state level. The article investigates how performance management systems have changed over the past decades, the motivations behind their metamorphoses, their common elements across the two countries, and what accounts for the respective progress. It also investigates the role that the institutional framework plays in making performance management systems robust. The study presents policy recommendations on how governments can create more robust performance management systems for enhanced accountability and transparency in an age of resource const…
