La integración de la Atención a la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales del Ayuntamiento de Sagunto
2011
El cuarto Pilar del Bienestar Social es el sistema de Servicios Sociales, la atención a la dependencia debería ser considerada un subsistema del sistema de Servicios Sociales, el catalogo de prestaciones que recoge la Ley de Autonomía Personal y Atención a las Personas en Situación de Dependencia (Ley 39/2006) se corresponde con las prestaciones reconocidas en las leyes de servicios sociales de las diferentes Comunidades Autónomas, todas ellas aprobadas con anterioridad a la Ley 39/2006. La implantación por parte de la Generalitat Valenciana de la Ley de atención a la dependencia puede vulnerar el principio de Autonomía Local recogido en varios marcos normativos. La visión de atención integ…
Mutations urbaines et logiques de localisation des emplois: le cas de la Communauté de l'agglomération dijonnaise (1990, 1999).
2004
The aim of this paper is to analyze the spatial changes in the Dijon urban area (COMADI) by studying in particular the new tendencies of localization of the high order producer services. Our results display a multicentric structure of the COMADI which exhibits several employment poles. Not only the economic composition of these poles differs between the central pole and the peripheral ones but this composition changes over the study period (1990-1999). New localization logics appear for the high order services : if the historical center remains specialized in financial activities, insurance and real estate (FIRE), the other producer services are more likely to be localized in the periphery.…
“I want creative neighbours”. Do creative service industries spillovers cross regional boundaries?
2014
The occurrence of creative service industries (CSI) is a strong determinant of differences in wealth amongst European regions. However, it is unknown if the strong effects are limited to occurring within regional boundaries or whether there are spillover effects into neighbouring regions. The purpose of this paper is to assess the existence of CSI spillover effects on the wealth of neighbouring regions. CSI and spillovers are integrated into both an empirical model and an endogenous growth model. Both models are estimated for a sample of 250 regions in the European Union in 2008. We find that most of the effects of CSI take place within regions, although there is also evidence that CSI has …
Local banks and credit: from crisis to the new regulatory proposals for the development of lending policies in favour of the real economy
2014
Comparing the credit cooperative banks (CCBs) and banking groups operating in Italy, descriptive analyses show that the CCBs, unlike large banks, despite the economic downturn, have continued to extend credit to customers, but at the cost of a higher incidence of bad credit. This increased credit risk of local banks has been caused by management policy choices, such as the preference to modify the conditions applicable to credit supply and to engage firms in long-term credit relationships rather than initiate credit recovery procedures. An empirical analysis shows that this risk has also been caused by a higher incidence of environmental factors such as the spread of situations of crime and…

Growing Like Germany: Local Public Debt, Local Banks, Low Private Investment
2021
The paper uses a panel of more than 1m German firms over 2010-2016, to provide the first firm-bank level evidence of local crowding out for a developed economy characterized by low interest rates and fiscal austerity. Our mechanism relies on two structural features of Germany's banking landscape: the local segmentation of credit markets for small and medium-sized firms (SME) and the role of local public banks in local public finance. Local public banks dominate lending to small and medium firms in Germany and also have an explicit mandate to lend to the local public sector. With spreads on local government debt at all-time lows, local public banks tried to break even, using their market pow…
"Kuchnia śląska jest najlepsza...", czyli o (do)cenionym dziedzictwie kulinarnym
2021
In comparison to other Polish regional cuisines, Silesian cuisine is complex and distinguished by the influence of other culinary cultures (mainly German, Austrian and Czech), which have made it so rich and include dishes not found anywhere else. Silesian cuisine, beside the Silesian dialect, is one of the determinants of the identity of people living in Upper Silesia. It not only identifies the origin of the inhabitants, but also cultural patterns arising from the long and rich culinary tradition.The article is devoted to discussing ways of presenting Silesian cuisine by culinary experts and – at the same time – culinary celebrities such as: Robert Makłowicz, Magda Gessler, Tomasz Jakubiak…
Cultura, transformación urbana y empoderamiento ciudadano frente a la gentrificación: Comparación entre el caso de Getsemaní (Cartagena de Indias) y …
2016
La cultura se ha convertido en un elemento esencial en los procesos de transformación urbana, especialmente en los barrios céntricos de las ciudades históricas. Ello se explica por lo decisivo de su rol en cuanto a fomentar el consumo y la marca territorial en el marco de la globalización de flujos económicos y turísticos. Este papel de la cultura en la refuncionalización del espacio urbano ha sido reiteradamente criticado por diversos autores. Sin embargo, también se plantea que la cultura puede contribuir a revalorizar los barrios marginales construyendo una imagen positiva, y a empoderar a la ciudadanía contra la gentrificación. Asimismo, como se analizará en el caso de Getsemaní y del R…
Turning Right/Turning Left? : A Neoclassical Socioeconomic Query of the Arts Signaled by Museum and Branding in Finland
2016
ABSTRACTThe Guggenheim Helsinki Plan indicated a wishful turn of the arts and culture in Finland from the socio-democratic tradition of a welfare society towards a further neoliberalism. Following the Finnish historical timeline and from a museological viewpoint, this article reviews how national identity was built through the arts, which later integrated into formal and informal education to enhance human capital. This instrumental view now promotes the idea of useful art to fuel an innovation economy of advanced technology. Considering embarking on the intricate platform of arts, economics, and finance through Guggenheim, rethinking the contemporary art market mechanism may prove to be be…
