Media and corruption scandals in Spain: plaintiffs, magnifiers, accomplices?

2013

Partiendo de la idea según la cual el periodismo es, en regímenes de tradición liberal democrática, un freno a la arbitrariedad de los que gobiernan y de que los medios de comunicación, y en especial la prensa escrita, han acometido la tarea de vigilancia de los casos de corrupción acaecidos en la España democrática, se indaga sobre los mecanismos que dificultan el ejercicio de un periodismo de denuncia de la corrupción política y se proponen orientaciones para acercar la ética periodística a la ética cívica propia de la democracia. Starting from the idea that journalism is, in liberal democratic regimes tradition, a brake on the arbitrariness of those who govern and that the media, particu…

The Tax Returns of Public Spending on Universities: An Estimate with Monte Carlo Simulations

2015

Pastor J. M. and Peraita C. The tax returns of public spending on universities: an estimate with Monte Carlo simulations, Regional Studies. This paper proposes a methodology based on counterfactual scenarios and the existence of uncertainty to estimate the tax returns of public spending of regional governments on their public universities. The introduction of differences in the time spent by the students at university and the proportion of the total public expenditure implies making assumptions about uncertainty. The paper applies Monte Carlo simulations incorporating stochastic elements to estimate the tax returns of public spending in the University of the Basque Country (Spain). The resu…

Place-based policy in southern Italy: evidence from a dose-response approach

2021

This paper evaluates the effectiveness at a territorial level of a place-based policy for southern Italy, that is, territorial integrated projects (TIPs). We combine classical counterfactual designs and the construction of a dose–response function to assess the impact of the infrastructural interventions on the municipalities involved in a target region (Sicily). The results are robust enough to show policy effectiveness on both the number of workers and the number of plants. In the latter case, we also identify a significant and increasing dose–response function highlighting the positive relationship between funding intensity and the growth of plants.

Spatial Localization in Manufacturing: A Cross-Country Analysis

2009

This paper employs a homogenous firms' database to investigate industry localiza- tion in European countries. More specifically, we compare, across industries and countries, the predictions of two of the most popular localization indices, i.e., the Ellison and Glaeser index (Ellison and Glaeser, 1997) and the Duranton and Over- man index (Duranton and Overman, 2005). We find that, independently from the index used, localization is a pervasive phenomenon in all countries studied, but the degree of localization is very uneven across industries in each country. Furthermore, we find that the two indices significantly diverge in predicting the intensity of the forces generating localization with…

La semilla migrante. El círculo vital en la poesía de Cecilia Balcázar

2000

En espera de nuevos poemas, ya es posible esbozar un recorrido de la obra de Cecilia Balcazar: en su actividad poetica, pues, la autora ha logrado constituir un corpus lirico coherente y lleno de sugerencias. El intento se revela enseguida muy interesante: el camino que va de La maquina mitica (1987) a Peregrinaciones (1997) pasando por Sendero de palabras (1992) no me parece moverse segun una linea recta - supuestamente cronologica- sino disenar un circulo donde coinciden inicio y fin. El al...

Asociaciones de inmigrantes, Estados y desarrollo entre España y Colombia. ¿Un nuevo campo social transnacional?

2017

A pesar de la distancia geografica, las asociaciones de inmigrantes colombianos en Espana han tenido una creciente incidencia en los asuntos locales de su pais de origen, y sus acciones han ido adquiriendo una progresiva dimension transnacional. Entre otras practicas, las asociaciones han implementado numerosos proyectos de desarrollo en Colombia que han implicado la movilizacion de redes verticales y horizontales, tanto en el pais de origen como en el de destino, en paralelo con el renovado interes de los Estados colombiano y espanol por dar soporte a esas acciones. En este articulo nos preguntamos en que medida estas dinamicas, inducidas por la migracion, podrian haber contribuido a la co…

Adolescentes y drogas : su relación con la delincuencia

2016

Esta investigación describe la relación con las drogas en una muestra de 286 Adolescentes en Conflicto con la Ley de la ciudad de Valencia (España). Tiene por objeto analizar la relación entre trayectoria delictiva y consumo de drogas. Los resultados informan que, a mayor incidencia delictiva, mayor dependencia. En cuanto a patrones de consumo por tipo de sustancia, el cannabis se asocia a trayectorias delictivas iniciales, y la cocaína, a trayectorias consolidadas. El consumo se produce en escenarios habituales diurnos y se extiende a otros de ocio nocturno, y particularmente forma parte de la trayectoria consolidada en la vida cotidiana de los adolescentes en conflicto con la ley. This st…

Deconstructing Machos, Constructing People. Narratives of Alienation from Hegemonic Masculinity in Spain

2022

Resumen: Esta investigación analiza algunas de las alternativas que ciertos hombres encuentran como medio de desafío y resignificación del lugar ocupado hasta ahora por la idea hegemónica de masculinidad. Entre las dificultades de este proceso personal y social, a la vez externo e interno, resulta importante el conflicto con los hombres que se aferran a una idea monolítica de masculinidad. Alejarse del modelo tradicional comporta confrontaciones en múltiples sentidos. Con una metodología basada en algunas autobiografías, observamos cómo cinco hombres seleccionados por la diversidad de sus características reconstruyen sus historias vitales y llevan a cabo una reflexión crítica sobre sus cuer…

Nonverbal Influence During Televised Debates

2016

Experimental studies find a strong influence of nonverbal signals on the evaluation of political candidates when raters are asked to judge unknown candidates from short-duration exposures. Yet when viewers are exposed to candidates’ verbal and nonverbal communication in a more naturally occurring context, the presence of verbal communication can make the influence of nonverbal communication seem attenuated. To link these findings, the present study uses continuous response measurement to uncover the relative influence of verbal and nonverbal communication on political opinion formation during a debate clip lasting about 9 minutes. The analysis suggests that nonverbal communication influenc…
