Panorama de la investigación en Economía Social
2021
En los últimos decenios las investigaciones sobre el tema de la economía social han conocido un notable impulso. El artículo pasa revista al estado actual de la investigación en esta materia y analiza las más importantes propuestas teóricas elaboradas en el ámbito del denominado tercer sector, deteniéndose en los dos enfoques teóricos más relevantes, el de la economía social (ES) de raíz continental europea que integra a cooperativas, mutualidades, asociaciones y fundaciones y el del sector no lucrativo integrado por las organizaciones no lucrativas —non profit organizations (NPO)—, promovido por la literatura económica anglosajona. El artículo concluye afirmando que, aunque existen varias …

La distribución de la renta en España en el período de crecimiento económico: 1998-2005
2021
El objetivo del trabajo es analizar la relación entre el crecimiento económico y la distribución de la renta en España entre 1998 y 2005 (crecimiento económico con escasa reducción de la desigualdad). El trabajo intenta mostrar la relación entre ambas variables económicas, así como buscar las claves que explican por qué la última larga etapa de crecimiento económico en España no se ha traducido en una clara mejoría de la distribución de la renta.
Hacia una ordenación de las pequeñas empresas atendiendo a su posible situación de fracaso
2021
En la literatura contable son muchos los trabajos que han intentado explicar el posible fracaso empresarial a partir de la información contable y poner de manifiesto la relación entre dicha información y la situación de fracaso. Sin embargo, los resultados obtenidos hasta ahora no son definitivos, en cuanto no existe un mínimo común en todos ellos que permita modelizar el comportamiento de dicho fracaso. Este trabajo pretende constatar, mediante la definición de un indicador en el que intervengan una gran batería de ratios contables, que efectivamente la información contable ofrece pistas sobre el posible fracaso de la empresa. Al canalizar toda la información de los ratios contables a trav…
Climate Change and Global Justice: New Problem, Old Paradigm?
2014
In this paper, we focus on the conceptualization of climate change as an issue of global justice. While we do not deny that climate change raises fundamental and dramatic issues of justice among peoples as well as generations, our claim is that the language of global justice can obscure the fact that problems provoked by climate change lack some characteristic features of problems of global justice, while possessing others that are not characteristic of such problems. We begin by describing briefly how we got to where we are, climatically speaking; we go on to show why it is plausible to think of climate change as provoking problems of global justice; point out four respects in which this d…
The Climatic Challenge to Global Justice
2014
How should we think of justice when the evil we can do to one another is not visible nor immediate, but rather impalpable and causally, spatially and temporally dispersed? What does justice demand, when our actions and institutions do not directly sabotage the life prospects of others but rather do so derivatively, by sabotaging the very eco-systems in which such lives are or will be lived? In a globalized, resource-depleted, overpopulated, rapidly changing, ecologically deteriorating world, what is owed to the billions of spatiotemporally distant people who are paying or shall pay the costs of the last 200 years of heavy industry, globalized trade and enthusiastic economic growth? And is t…
The organisational dimension of executive authority in the Global South: Insights from the AU and ECOWAS commissions
2022
The growing importance of executive authority at the international level has fuelled scholarly debate about the level of autonomy enjoyed by international public administration (IPA), that is, the executive arms of international organisations. Insights from IPAs in the West or Global North, such as the European Union, have largely shaped these debates, whereas data from IPAs in the Global South are largely missing in the discussion. This article seeks to remedy this imbalance and contribute to an organisational-theory-inspired conceptualisation of IPA autonomy: We draw insights from survey data from the commissions of the African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States …
The Role of Capital and Liquidity in Bank Lending: Are Banks Safer?
2020
The aim of this paper is to examine whether and to what extent bank capital requirements and liquidity standards influence the level of bank stability. Our approach is that both capital and liquidity affect lending growth, which in turn affects bank stability. We construct a panel dataset on a sample of 2,054 commercial banks from 117 developed and developing countries during the 2000–16 period. By applying a two-stage least squares (2SLS) empirical methodology, our findings show that capital and liquidity have a negative direct impact on the level of bank stability. However, this influence is counteracted by an indirect positive effect through the increased level of credit. Our results are…
