How different policy instruments affect green product innovation : A differentiated perspective
2018
Based on representative firm-level data for the three countries Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, we investigate the effects of energy-related regulations, taxes, voluntary agreements, and subsidies on the creation of green energy products, and analyze through which channels policy affects green product innovation and which factors mediate the observed effects. Policy may affect green product innovation by directly stimulating the supply of green products/services, or more indirectly by stimulating the demand for green products/services. Our data set allows us to distinguish between the two channels, which improves our understanding of the frequently observed positive net effect of policie…
Evaluation of Clutch Plate Integrity with Non-Destructive Methods
2009
Abstract Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) represents an important phase in the life cycle of a product to detect defects both in service and in production. NDE techniques most commonly used to detect surface defects are visual inspection and methods based on eddy current and ultrasound. Laser and non-contact sensors have been recently used to inspect ultrasonically without contact. Components with complex geometry are usually inspected combining several NDE techniques, or simply visually where analysis and evaluation of results are performed by an operator based on specific parameters of acceptance. This last method is currently used to inspect the clutch plates since their complex geometry,…
A study on the assessment of the production costs curves in micro-grids
2013
In micro-grids, due to their small scale, there is commonly only one power supplier. A competitive wholesale market hardly exists, so the question about how to consider market issues for small producers within micro-grids arises. On the other hand, the specific features of micro-grids where load and generated power hardly find a balance, require that customers take part to regulation issues, also using demand-response (DR) programs. In this paper, price responsive (PR) policies and their programs are discussed to answer this question. A case study of a micro-grid with one micro-turbine and two photovoltaic (PV) generators is analyzed to assess the overall production cost in order to build a…
Product market regulation, innovation and productivity
2014
Several recent policy and academic contributions consider that liberalising product markets would foster innovation and growth. This paper analyses the innovation-productivity relationship at the industry-level for a sample of OECD manufacturing industries. We pay particular attention to the vertically-induced influence of product market regulation (PMR) of key input sectors of the economy on the innovative process of manufacturing and its consequences on productivity. We test for a differentiated effect of this type of PMR depending on whether countries are technological leaders or laggards in a given industry and for a given time period. Contrary to the most widespread policy claims, the …

Principales problemas jurídicos que plantea Google en la UE y España
2020
Tras varias quejas y denuncias de terceros, la CE ha abierto varias investigaciones sobre el comportamiento de Google que ha privado a otras empresas de la oportunidad de competir e innovar en función de sus méritos y, como resultado, ha violado las reglas de competencia de la UE. Pero lo que es más importante, a los consumidores europeos se les ha negado el beneficio de una competencia efectiva en el importante campo de las tecnologías móviles. En julio de 2018, la Comisión impuso una multa de 4,34 mil millones de euros a Google por violar las normas de competencia de la UE debido a que desde 2011 la empresa impone restricciones ilegales a los fabricantes de dispositivos Android y operador…
Réflexion historiographique sur l'industrialisation des pays scandinaves
2005
International audience; Présentation de l'historiographie scandinave relative aux évolutions économiques de la Suède, de la Norvège, de la Finlande et du Danemark. Les courants successifs sont présentés depuis les années 1920 en prenant soin de souligner l'originalité de chaque pays (histoire maritime et "Business History" en Norvège, histoire ouvrière et proto-industrialisation en Suède, étude des échanges en Finlande et au Danemark etc.). Une quarantaine d'ouvrages et articles majeurs sont évoqués, les titres en langues scandinaves (ou finnoise) sont traduits.
Un proceso de intervención sobre las conductas de seguridad y las condiciones de seguridad y salud en las obras de construcción
2013
Esta investigación ha desarrollado y contrastado con éxito un método de observación y control de la seguridad de las obras de construcción y un método de acción preventiva que ha demostrado ser eficaz para incrementar la seguridad de las obras, ajustado a las obras españolas de construcción en las fases de estructura y albañilería. Esta metodología es viable para las empresas (de hecho ha sido testada con la participación activa en su aplicación de sus técnicos de prevención) y aumenta significativamente la seguridad de modo tangible y demostrable, reduciendo la probabilidad de accidentes laborales. Se basa en la observación y control regular en visitas de seguridad (2 semanales aproximadam…
Trabajo colaborativo en entornos virtuales: diseño y evaluación de una intervención para la mejora de la eficacia y el bienestar
2022
The combination of teams in organizations, technology and globalization fostered the popularization of collaborative virtual environments (CVE) (virtual teams and virtual communities). CVE have advantages and opportunities for members and organizations. Consequently, its adoption is growing. Yet, CVE presents challenges that are a threat to its sustainability, effectiveness, and well-being (management of diversity (faultlines and subgroups); expression of affect; lack of competencies of relational computer-mediated communication). Thus, there is a need to conduct research that helps to overcome these challenges. Considering this, we study effectiveness and well-being in CVE; and we design a…
