Las asociaciones de inmigrantes como organizaciones no gubernamentales de desarrollo. Entre la agencia y la adaptación institucional

2020

De modo progresivo las asociaciones de inmigrantes en España se han convertido en un agente importante de la cooperación para el desarrollo. En este sentido, el entorno político, favorecido por la incorporación del codesarrollo en las políticas públicas a partir del año 2002, propició la creación de una estructura y una nueva ventana de oportunidad para las asociaciones de inmigrantes. Como resultado, en muchas de ellas se generaron procesos de adaptación o incluso hibridación organizativa hacia la reconversión como ONGD. Es por ello que, a raíz de los resultados de un estudio realizado sobre el estado de las entidades del campo de la cooperación para el desarrollo en España, debatimos y an…

Propuesta de política pública para acelerar la transición hacia el automóvil eléctrico en el contexto español

2018

Este trabajo pretende determinar el tipo de intervención pública deseable en España para acelerar la transición hacia una adopción mayoritaria del coche eléctrico. Para ello primero se tratará de explicar los efectos positivos de esta transición, la situación actual del mercado del coche eléctrico en España, las barreras que frenan una mayor penetración en el mercado y las iniciativas políticas en otros países en este tema. Y posteriormente haremos un repaso de los planes de estímulo a la adquisición de vehículos eléctricos en nuestro país estos tres últimos años. Observamos que en España la ciudadanía responde positivamente a unas políticas de incentivo al coche eléctrico que se han mostra…

La multifuncionalidad del mundo rural

2002

En este artículo se describen las bases conceptuales de la multifuncionalidad de la agricultura, y se analiza hasta qué punto pueden servir para justificar la intervención pública en apoyo del sector. A continuación, se destacan algunos aspectos concretos que tienen que ver con la multifuncionalidad en las áreas relacionadas con la biodiversidad, el desarrollo rural y la seguridad alimentaria para, finalmente, contemplar las posibilidades que ofrecen las actuales normas de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) a la hora de tener en cuenta las denominadas «preocupaciones no comerciales» (non-trade concerns) y, entre ellas, las relacionadas con la multifuncionalidad. ereig@uv.es

Public Spending and Trade Liberalization: The Compensation Hypothesis Revisited

2013

Despite a widespread fascination with the so called compensation hypothesis – i.e. the proposition that governments have to provide insurance against the risks of open markets to make integration into the international economy politically feasible – there appears to exist a complete lack of research where a rather straightforward implication of this theoretical mechanism is concerned, namely that liberalization of the trade regime should become more likely with a larger public sector and more social spending already in place. In this paper, we test this hypothesis that can be regard as a complement to existing research on the compensation hypothesis. We draw on a theoretical model that link…

Goals are Not Enough: Building Public Sector Capacity for Chronic Disease Prevention

2013

The rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) challenges the public health sector to develop, support and implement effective interventions to reduce this global epidemic. The United Nations has responded with a global action plan that includes goals and voluntary targets for the prevention and control of NCDs. However, setting goals is not enough. To achieve meaningful outcomes, governments must act and invest to improve key enabling capacities. Political and other public sector leadership at every jurisdictional level is needed to implement health-in-all-policies initiatives and to measure progress against set objectives, while technological and human resources for health should b…

Promotion of service industries by means of entry restriction: the case of operators in the slot machine industry

2009

This article examines the effects of government policy on entry restriction for firms within a specific market of the Spanish gambling industry. Spain is an ideal economic region for studying this topic, as it allows for the analysis of quasi-identical populations exposed to different regulatory regimes. In Spain, gaming legislation is determined at the autonomous community level (state level), where differences across states within a single country are of particular interest. This paper analyses the performance of slot machine operators in three autonomous communities, each with different policies with regard to entry restriction. Fifty-eight firms were analysed using multiple regression, …
