Efectos de la crisis en el crédito comercial concedido y relevancia de la diversificación de la actividad
2014
ResumenEl objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las razones por las que las empresas manufactureras españolas conceden crédito comercial a sus clientes. Hemos analizado teórica y empíricamente 2 aspectos: el efecto producido por la crisis financiero-económica y la importancia que tiene la diversificación de la actividad y el tipo de cliente al que se le concede el crédito comercial. Las principales conclusiones que obtenemos son, por una parte, que el incremento del crédito comercial concedido en periodo de crisis provoca que las empresas sean menos competitivas, y en segundo lugar aportamos evidencia de que la diversificación de la actividad y el hecho de que los clientes sean más o menos h…
Determinants of interest margins in Spanish credit institutions before and after the 2008 financial crash
2017
As interest margins of credit institutions affect economic performance of countries, finding out which are the main determinants of their evolution is a research task of great interest at current times. This is the purpose of the present paper as regards to the Spanish case over the period 2004-2012. Based on the econometric contributions by Ho and Saunders (1981) and some of its extensions, the authors develop a model that includes as explanatory variables the factors usually examined in the literature and other singular variables that might be relevant. Particularly, the rate of leverage, the quality of their assets measured according to their risk, and the profit obtained from the sellin…

Vote Transfers, Thwarted Voters and Newcomers in the 2009 Presidential Runoff in Romania
2011
Abstract This article investigates the role of thwarted voters and newcomers in setting the result of the December 6th, 2009 presidential runoff in Romania. For this purpose it employs panel survey data from the Romanian Election Studies, collected across three waves: pre-election, between the two rounds, post-election. Initially, it draws a picture of the main evolutions in turnout and vote between the first and the second round, with a special emphasis on vote transfers and risks associated to turnout and pro-winner overreporting. Then it analyzes the thwarted voters and their rationalities of making second-order electoral choices in the presidential runoff. The influence of campaign deve…
UN PAÍS MÁS EXTRANJERO QUE LA CHINA: LIBROS ESPAÑOLES EN LAS LIBRERÍAS PARISINAS DEL SIGLO XVIII
2018
The image of Spain in 18th century Europe, and in Paris in particular, could be described as bittersweet. Despite the shared dynastic ties of France and Spain, and a few scattered and short-lived attempts by some intellectuals and journals to offer a benevolent image of Spain, the Parisians of the day continued to regard Spain as a country barely modern, a victim of its own inaction and subject to the rigours of the Inquisition. We are aware of these stereotypes thanks largely to literary works. This is not necessarily the case with bibliographic sources. If we are to clarify the «image» of Spain, we need to go down into the street and consider how people saw, or rather read about, the coun…
Impact of Global Economic Crisis on the European Welfare States
2013
The global economic crisis and the subsequent weaker growth are putting under pressure welfare states in the EU. This paper aims at discussing the effects of the crisis at the social level and at identifying whether the classic European welfare state models (Nordic, Continental, Anglo-Saxon and Mediterranean) are still valid in today’s economy. An answer will be tried using the mathematical tool of principal components analysis. The results will be observed in graphs where the states taken into consideration respect the classical welfare models or they regroup themselves into new circumstances’ adapted models. Even though the classical welfare models are generally still checked up with the …
The skilled migration in North-South direction: the case of the Spanish scientists in Ecuador during the Great Recession (2008-2015)
2020
Durante el periodo de crisis económica que se inició en 2008, Ecuador se convirtió en un destino atractivo para la emigración española cualificada, enmarcada en los nuevos flujos migratorios del Norte-Sur Global. El artículo trata de arrojar luz sobre la emigración española de científicos y científicas a este país a través del análisis de sus trayectorias formativas y profesionales, el papel de las redes científicas, las estrategias migratorias y de inserción laboral en destino, las percepciones sobre el sistema académico ecuatoriano y los planes de futuro. Para ello se ha utilizado una estrategia metodológica cualitativa mediante entrevistas en profundidad a investigadores/as españoles/as …
