THE PUBLIC HOSPITAL AS A SYSTEM: FINANCING POLICIES AND THEIR LONG-TERM IMPACT ON THE HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED

Σκοπός: Οι νέες πολιτικές χρηματοδότησης που υιοθετήθηκαν κατά την περίοδο της οικονομικής ύφεσης συνέβαλαν αναμφισβήτητα στη μείωση των δαπανών του νοσοκομείου, αλλά φαίνεται να είχαν αρνητικό αντίκτυπο για τους ασθενείς και τους εργαζομένους των νοσοκομείων (Economou, Kaitelidou, Karanikolos, & Maresso, 2017; Keramidou & Triantafyllopoulos, 2018; Mitropoulos, Vasileiou, & Mitropoulos, 2018; OECD & European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, 2019). Η παρούσα ποιοτική μελέτη χρησιμοποιεί τη μέθοδο των δυναμικών συστημάτων (system dynamics) για να αναλύσει και να εξηγήσει τα μακροπρόθεσμα αποτελέσματα των πολιτικών αυτών.

Mean-Field Game Modeling the Bandwagon Effect with Activation Costs

2015

This paper provides a mean-field game theoretic model of the bandwagon effect in social networks. This effect can be observed whenever individuals tend to align their own opinions to a mainstream opinion. The contribution is threefold. First, we describe the opinion propagation as a mean-field game with local interactions. Second, we establish mean-field equilibrium strategies in the case where the mainstream opinion is constant. Such strategies are shown to have a threshold structure. Third, we extend the use of threshold strategies to the case of time-varying mainstream opinion and study the evolution of the macroscopic system.

Analyse spatiale des disparités régionales dans l'Europe élargie

2004

The aim of this paper is to study the regional inequalities in the enlarged European Union using Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis applied to per capita GDP for 258 regions of EU27 over the period 1995-2000. Strong evidence in favor of global and local autocorrelation as well as spatial heterogeneity is found for the wealth distribution. We also show that the enlargement process leads to a new North-West - East polarization scheme instead of the previous results obtained in the literature highlighting a North-South polarization scheme. Implications for regional development and cohesion policies are finally explored.

Spatial effects in housing price models : do housing prices capitalize urban development policies in the agglomeration of Dijon (1999) ?

2004

In this article we suppose that the integration of accessibility and neighborhood variables in hedonic housing models doesn't allow to take into account the spatial effects between the housing prices. Using a sample of 1520 transactions of apartments in the urban area of Dijon, we focus on two types of location variables : the distance to the CBD and the distance to several Disadvantaged Districts located in peripheral areas. We detect the presence of a spatial error autocorrelation in the hedonic model indicating that the valuation of the price of an apartment is locally influenced by the prices of the neighboring apartments. Then, we estimate a spatial error model which shows that the loc…

La Política de la Educación social en la Europa de las desigualdades

2013

The aim of this research is to analyse some indicators which allow us to understand the current state of social education politics in Europe, with special reference to Spain. Some European and Spanish social and educational policies which try to confront the challenges of the current financial crisis are also explained. Some deficiencies, failures and contradictions attached to the process of the construction of European citizenship are pointed out. Some key topics which seem to foresee a deeper social and democratic crisis apart from the economic one are tackled. It is explained how the new forms of inequality evidence the failure of some of the important declarations of intent and objecti…

Innovating European Long-Term Care Policies through the Socio-Economic Support of Families: A Lesson from Practices

2022

LTC and socio-economic deprivation of families are two relevant issues in international debate. The economic or time investment made by families in caregiving has an impact on the socio-economic status of family members in terms of economic means and social inclusion. This study analyzes the practices that are supported by home LTC, examining their characteristics, identifying their strengths, weaknesses, drivers, and barriers, as well as identifying social innovation aspects. The study provides a qualitative interpretative comparison of 22 practices from eight countries, representing the four LTC care models existing in Europe. Cross-studies aid in the development of sustainable policies. …

El factor innovador en la agricultura de la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Factores que impulsan la innovación agraria

2021

[ES] La presente investigación sociológica se centra en la figura del productor agrario valenciano y su comportamiento frente a la innovación. Adoptar una actitud que favorezca la innovación depende de múltiples factores que influyen en la gestión de la empresa agraria. Este estudio utiliza los datos procedentes de una encuesta a productores agrarios valencianos que profundiza en los factores socioeconómicos que pueden decantar al productor agrario hacia una postura favorable a la innovación. Posteriormente, el estudio se centra en obtener un perfil tipo que represente al productor según sus características y las de su explotación, según su actitud innovadora y la orientación hacia factores…

El Objetivo de la Flexiseguridad en la Reforma Laboral Española de 2012

2015

En el preámbulo de la Ley 3/2012, de 6 de julio, de medidas urgentes para la reforma del mercado laboral, se establece literalmente que “el objetivo es la flexiseguridad”. Y se añade también que “la reforma propuesta trata de garantizar tanto la flexibilidad de los empresarios en la gestión de los recursos humanos de la empresa como la seguridad de los trabajadores en el empleo y adecuados niveles de protección social”, o que dicha reforma “apuesta por el equilibrio en la regulación de nuestras relaciones de trabajo”. Sin embargo, del análisis de las medidas concretas que contiene la reforma laboral se desprende una clara contradicción con ese objetivo y lo mismo sucede cuando se analizan l…

La Territorialización de las Políticas de Inclusión Social desde el punto de Vista de los Espacios Rurales Españoles: Comparativa Autonómica

2020

En el artículo examinamos cómo se materializa la atención al medio rural en los planes de inclusión social españoles. Analizamos el marco estatal y autonómico clasificando las Comunidades Autónomas según su grado de ruralidad (OCDE). Así, establecemos si existe relación entre el carácter territorial de cada CCAA y el tipo de acciones inclusivas planteadas para los espacios rurales, y cuáles son los temas abordados. Los resultados evidencian que, al contrario de lo que cabría esperar, las CC.AA. predominantemente rurales no registran la mayor cantidad de actuaciones destinadas al medio rural, y que las temáticas sobre las que más se actúan atienden a la planificación y desarrollo territorial…
