Slovo Cubano: El vocablo soviético en el español de Cuba
2015
Resumen: ?Se puede definir una nostalgia cubana por lo sovietico? Indagando sobre su estetica, entendida como percepcion, Slovo Cubano intenta responder a esta interrogante. Enfocandose en los rusismos-sovietismos, que llegaron a nuestra isla en diferentes epocas. Estas palabras ya son parte de nuestro catauro de extranjerismos; fragmento significativo en la historia de la adopcion linguistica en el espanol cubano-caribeno. Estos vocablos no son solo referencias filologicas, simbolos de una oralidad y escritura muy particulares, tambien son evidencias historicas, que actuan como codigos de acceso a la experiencia cultural sovietica. Slovo Cubano intenta confirmar que desde 1961 hasta 1991, …
Política monetaria en tiempos de pandemia: evaluación y propuesta del Helicóptero Monetario
2020
La pandemia del Covid-19 ha provocado una de las crisis más importantes desde la Gran Depresión. Ante esto, es necesaria una mayor coordinación entre la política monetaria y las políticas fiscales. En este artículo, se ha analizado el Helicóptero Monetario como posible respuesta a la crisis y como complemento a las medidas adoptadas. Tras presentar evidencia histórica de los efectos del Helicóptero Monetario, examinar los distintos ejemplos propuestos en la literatura, y evaluar sus fortalezas y debilidades, se ha articulado una propuesta para la eurozona a través del Banco Central Europeo (BCE) en coordinación con el grupo del Banco Europeo de Inversiones (BEI)

AbstractThe Horta of Valencia is a large irrigated area managed by eight communities of landowners. Traditionally, it was considered that these communities were composed of peasants, that they were self-managed and self-governed, and that they had remained immutable over time. However, the historical evidence shows that this is not true for pre-modern times. This article examines a possible Islamic origin of these institutions, the rupture caused by the Christian conquest of Valencia in the thirteenth century, the structure of the communities, and the social diversity of their members within the framework of feudalism. We conclude that irrigation communities cannot be used as examples of in…
Technological change and wage premiums: historical evidence from linked employer-employee data
2013
Abstract This study analyses the impacts of a technological change (the steam engine) on wage premiums. Using historical employer–employee panel data, we found that steam technology had both new skill-demanding and skill-replacing aspects. The former manifested itself as an increase in the demand for high-skilled engineers, the latter in a decline in the demand for intermediate-skilled, able-bodied seamen and an increase in the demand for unskilled engine room operators. Our panel data analysis, which controls for unobserved heterogeneity, implies that high-skilled labourers in abstract tasks and unskilled labourers in manual tasks improved their wage positions relative to intermediate-skil…
