El análisis cuantitativo de trayectorias laborales. Un estado del arte
2022
La metodología cuantitativa aplicada al estudio de las trayectorias laborales ha experimentado un rápido auge que se ha extendido más allá del tradicional análisis de secuencias. El presente artículo es un estado del arte del desarrollo de nuevas técnicas estadísticas que pueden aplicarse o ya se aplican al estudio de trayectorias laborales. Además, incluimos sugerencias de software estadístico para la aplicación de cada una de las técnicas descritas. A lo largo de todo el texto, podrá observarse que la descripción de cada técnica se ha realizado desde un punto de vista conceptual, con el objetivo de llegar a un público amplio, que no necesite poseer una fuerte formación estadística. Es med…
Does the GATT/WTO promote trade? After all, Rose was right
2019
This paper re-examines the effect of the GATT/WTO on trade using recent econometric developments that allow us estimating structural gravity equations with the Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator on a large dataset that requires computing high-dimensional fixed effects. By doing so, we overcome computational limitations that are present in previous studies. In line with Rose’s (Am Econ Rev 94:98–114, 2004) seminal work, we find that, unlike regional trade agreements and currency unions, the GATT/WTO accession has not generated positive trade effects. This result is robust to the use of alternative measures of trade flows, across periods and country groups, to changes in the p…
Recursive and bargaining values
2021
Abstract We introduce two families of values for TU-games: the recursive and bargaining values. Bargaining values are obtained as the equilibrium payoffs of the symmetric non-cooperative bargaining game proposed by Hart and Mas-Colell (1996). We show that bargaining values have a recursive structure in their definition, and we call this property recursiveness. All efficient, linear, and symmetric values that satisfy recursiveness are called recursive values. We generalize the notions of potential, and balanced contributions property, to characterize the family of recursive values. Finally, we show that if a time discount factor is considered in the bargaining model, every bargaining value h…
¿Existen demasiadas sucursales bancarias en España? Un análisis para el periodo 1999-2011
2016
Tras un largo periodo de intensa expansión territorial que culminó en 2008, la reestructuración del sector bancario español ha llevado a que el número de sucursales haya pasado de 45.000 a poco más de 28.000 en menos de una década. Las implicaciones de esta tendencia son notables, pues el acceso a la oficina física sigue siendo clave en comunidades remotas y/o desfavorecidas, además de existir un impacto todavía no medido en términos de banca relacional. El objetivo del trabajo consiste en determinar, a través de un modelo estadístico, si los fenómenos de over-branching y under-branching, esto es, exceso o escasez de oficinas, han estado presentes en el sector bancario español entre 1999 y …
One swallow does not make a summer: episodes and persistence in high growth
2021
This paper analyzes firms’ episodes (spells) of high growth (HG) using a sample of Spanish manufacturing firms observed over two decades. The use of duration models allows us to investigate the following: (i) the probability of experiencing HG episodes, (ii) persistence in HG, and (iii) the determinants of the transitions in and out of the HG state and whether their impact varies over the business cycle. We find that about half of the firms experience at least one HG episode, but they seldom experience more than one. Moreover, high-growth status is rarely repeated due to high first-year selection. Yet, in subsequent years beyond the first one, the hazard rate from HG status falls substantia…
Key Electoral Institutions and Rules Influencing Proportionality and Partisan Bias in Spanish Politics
2021
The current paper focuses on the Spanish electoral rules governing political competition for the central “Congreso de los Diputados”. It is well-documented that the system as a whole has traditionally favoured one or the other of the two main political parties (PP and PSOE) at the expense of proportionality and the remaining political parties. This paper focuses on some key Spanish electoral rules and investigates how much the observed biases could be altered by introducing some alternative rules taken from the Swedish electoral system, ceteris paribus. Measures of disproportionality are made through the Loosemore–Hanby index and the Gallagher index. The electoral raw data used for our esti…
Cancelling out systematic uncertainties
2011
We present a method to minimize, or even cancel out, the nuisance parameters affecting a measurement. Our approach is general and can be applied to any experiment or observation. We compare it with the bayesian technique used to deal with nuisance parameters: marginalization, and show how the method compares and improves by avoiding biases. We illustrate the method with several examples taken from the astrophysics and cosmology world: baryonic acoustic oscillations, cosmic clocks, Supernova Type Ia luminosity distance, neutrino oscillations and dark matter detection. By applying the method we recover some known results but also find some interesting new ones. For baryonic acoustic oscillati…
Spanish electoral archive. SEA database
2021
This paper introduces the SEA database (acronym for Spanish Electoral Archive). SEA brings together the most complete public repository available to date on Spanish election outcomes. SEA holds all the results recorded from the electoral processes of General (1979–2019), Regional (1989–2021), Local (1979–2019) and European Parliamentary (1987–2019) elections held in Spain since the restoration of democracy in the late 70 s, in addition to other data sets with electoral content. The data are offered for free and is presented in a homogeneous and friendly format. Most of the databases are available for download with data from various electoral levels, including from the ballot box level. This…
Creating Shared Value: Exploration in an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
2022
The effects of companies on society and the practices of Corporate Social Responsibility have been the source of interest for many research studies. Questions concerning the traditional model resulted in Porter and Kramer developing the concept of Creating Shared Value, an approach where companies consider the value of society and the environment in their business models, creating value for all stakeholders. We take the issue of shared value creation in an entrepreneurial ecosystem to determine how clustered companies understand and create shared value, identifying its antecedents and consequences. Using a single case study, we were able to identify that the entrepreneurial ecosystem become…
