COVID‐19 and tourism: What can we learn from the past?
2020
Abstract The impact of the COVID‐19 crisis on tourism flows is without precedent in terms of speed and severity. In this paper, we try to infer a possible future scenario for the tourism sector, evaluating the medium‐term effects of past pandemics on tourist arrivals. We find that pandemics lead to a persistent decline in tourist arrivals, with the effects being larger in developing and emerging countries. Interestingly, the effects are heterogeneous across countries and episodes, and depend on several economic conditions such as the overall health system performance, the severity of the shock, and the uncertainty induced by the pandemic event.
Hidden costs of cuts: austerity, civil service management and the motivation of public officials in Central and Eastern Europe after the crisis
2016
The implementation of austerity measures presents a dilemma for governments. While austerity measures such as cutbacks aim to reduce costs and enhance public sector efficiency, the same measures might undermine the motivation of employees and, consequently, the prospects of effectively implementing austerity programmes. Based on a survey of ministerial officials in Poland and Latvia, this article finds that the scale of cutbacks explains a larger decline of staff motivation in Latvia than in Poland. The article further shows that motivation was more likely to decrease after the crisis if austerity measures involved cutbacks such as staff reductions, recruitment freezes, and a reduction of t…
Image is everything! Professional football players’ visibility and wages: evidence from the Italian Serie A
2021
Sport is one of the most popular forms of entertainment and its worldwide spread has turned athletes into icons who have economic impact and international visibility as global brands. In our paper we would like to show how marketing strategies in the sports industry, amplified by social networks, have put the athlete at the centre of media attention In the world of football, football players have come to play a key role, since their image is the face of their clubs, and this can affect the number of digital fans, that is, fans who are not bound to a club by constant passion but who can change team depending on the athletes that have been lined up. This could explain why the teams playing in…
Does a red shirt improve sporting performance? Evidence from Spanish football
2011
Recent research has linked red shirts to sporting success. In this article, we analyse the relationship between the colour red and sporting performance in the Spanish Professional Football League. Our foremost conclusion is that once the effect of the different endowments of resources and the ability of managers have been discounted, teams with red shirts do not show greater performance than teams wearing shirts of other colours.
Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Rollouts and Their Effects on Health Outcomes

The lack of balance in the Spanish First Division football league
2014
Research question: The importance of balance in sports competitions has been made evident on many occasions. The dominance of a few teams over the rest of the participants in the Spanish First Division Football League has made the subject of a lack of balance an omnipresent one in sports journalism. The aim of this article is to show that the lack of balance is not just a matter of the past few seasons, but also it has been evidenced since far back in time. To test this hypothesis, the results of the league have been analyzed since its inception through various static and dynamic indices of competitive balance.Research methods: The empirical distribution of static and dynamic indices under …
The Spanish Football Crisis
2008
Abstract This article analyses the economic results of Spanish professional football teams using data collected over the past few years. These data differ substantially from the information presented in the annual reports of the “Liga de Futbol Profesional” (Spanish professional football league), which are obtained from the initial budgets elaborated each season. Special attention is paid to the two most important teams in the Spanish league: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The results of this research show that Spanish football has the same problems as those evidenced by the Italian and English football leagues and, therefore, requires similar solutions in order to be able to survive in fort…

Usages du TBI par les enseignants et compétences numériques des élèves d'école élémentaire : quelle mise en perspective ?
2018
International audience; On assiste en France depuis plusieurs années à une implantation progressive du tableau blanc interactif dans les écoles primaires. Cet outil serait susceptible d'augmenter la réussite des élèves en améliorant la pratique pédagogique des enseignants, en faisant varier la nature des ressources pédagogiques et en augmentant l'interactivité dans la classe (Karsenti, 2016). Néanmoins, les travaux étudiant le rôle du TBI sur les acquisitions des élèves se font encore rares, particulièrement dans le cercle de l'Hexagone. En conséquence, cette contribution vise à analyser l'efficacité du TBI à l'école élémentaire, en examinant ses effets sur les compétences numériques des él…
Indivīda brīvības atņemšanas tiesiskuma kritēriji Eiropas Cilvēktiesību tiesas praksē
2016
Konvencijas 5.pants paredz personas tiesības uz brīvību, vienlaikus norādot uz izņēmumiem, kuros personas brīvības atņemšana ir tiesiska. Darba mērķis ir konstatēt Konvencijas 5.panta apakšpunktu patieso tvērumu, kas tieši neizriet no Konvencijas teksta. Darba uzdevums ir analizēt Eiropas Cilvēktiesību tiesas praksi, izdarot secinājumus par kritērijiem, kas jākonstatē katrā konkrētā situācijā, lai atzītu, ka personas brīvības atņemšana bijusi tiesiska, kā arī definējot tos Konvencijas 5.panta jēdzienus, kuru saturs ir neviennozīmīgs. Darba rezultātā tiek sniegtas atziņas par tiem Konvencijas 5.panta elementiem, kuru satura definēšana Eiropas Cilvēktiesību tiesas praksē izrādījusies visstrīd…
