¿Está relacionada la eficiencia en el servicio urbano de agua con la titularidad del gestor?
2015
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión de la literatura acerca de qué forma de titularidad de los servicios de agua urbana, pública o privada, se muestra superior en términos de eficiencia. Con el fi n de arrojar luz sobre esta cuestión hemos realizado, en primer lugar, un análisis de la situación de la industria a nivel internacional. A continuación se ofrece una exposición de los principales argumentos a favor y en contra de la privatización para finalizar con el examen de la evidencia empírica al respecto. La revisión efectuada no nos permite concluir que alguna de las formas de gestión se muestre indiscutiblemente superior en términos de eficiencia. Sin embargo, e…
Pricing and infrastructure fees in shaping cooperation in a model of high-speed rail and airline competition
2020
Abstract This paper studies the effects of cooperation in a hub-and-spoke network with high-speed rail and airline competition. The distinctive elements of our analysis are the consideration of: (i) per-passenger airport and rail infrastructure fees; (ii) mixed bundling pricing by partners, and (iii) an airline duopoly in the international market. We show that partners fix the cheapest bundle price of the combined trip, that non-allied operators respond by decreasing the prices per link, and that connecting traffic increases. Per-passenger fees significantly affect the price differences following cooperation. An empirical application confirms that it is privately profitable and that welfare…
Financiación de asociaciones: examen especial del ejercicio de actividades económicas
2019
The economic crisis has led to an increase in the funding needs of associations and at the same time, a decrease of its resources. In view of this situation, we will examine the different existing possibilities to obtain a stable financial framework and, in light of the limitations which other systems suffer from, we will conclude that implementation of economic activities will prove to be the most practical solution. However, this exercise faces the disapproval of the Administration which considers, in many cases, that said alternative leads to the loss of its declaration of public utility and subsequently the possibility of opting for the privileged tax regime inherent in Law 49/2002 on T…

The negotiation of rules and state intervention in irrigation management: The Júcar Canal in the mid-19th century
2012
The way the rules for distributing water work in irrigation communities has been the object of numerous studies. Yet, little is known about how the negotiation process that is required to design such rules has developed historically, which is what this article focuses on. Specifically, the case of the Júcar Canal, which was built in the 13th century and went on to become the largest irrigation system in Spain after undergoing an extension in the early 19th century. As a result of said extension, there were many clashes between the old and the new irrigators, the climate of cooperation between users diminished and it became necessary to draw up a new set of regulations. Two crucial factors a…
Global health security and islands as seen through COVID-19 and vaccination
2022
Since the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020, significant research and attention has focused on countries’ abilities and interests in enacting response measures to the spread of the coronavirus including lockdowns, travel restrictions, and vaccination programmes to contain infections, hospitalisations, and deaths. As the pandemic has continued, much discussion has also centred on the ability of islands to control borders, enact public health measures, and keep the virus out or controlled, owing in part to presumed islandness characteristics of isolation and remoteness. Drawing from ongoing empirical examples of island experiences in the context of COVID-19, this article exa…

Éducation et formation a Madagascar :
2002
International audience; The prospects for educational development are excellent in Madagascar, in light of the increasingly favorable, policy environment for the sector. Public spending for education, relative to the gross domestic product declined in the 90s, coinciding with a five-fold rise in the country's interest payment for external debt. As the debt service burden began to ease in the late 90s, public spending on education began to recover, and can be expected to grow. A key challenge however, is to transform the sector's public spending into educational outcomes that would make significant contributions to poverty reduction. The report identifies challenges at all levels of formal e…
