The attitudes towards communication were evaluated by means of the specifically designed instrument, those towards empathy with the Jefferson’s Scale of Empathy for Nursing Students, and those towards emotional intelligence by means of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, consisting of 24 items. The effect of the studied variables was assessed by means of ANOVA, multiple linear regression models were applied, and t…
La compra silenciosa. Arrendamientos, estabilidad y mejoras en la agricultura valenciana de regadío (1850–1930)
2007
Resumen Este articulo analiza como fue posible, en el regadio valenciano, un desarrollo agrario basado en el arrendamiento de pequenas explotaciones. Del estudio de los contratos firmados en la huerta de Gandia se deduce, en primer lugar, que los arrendatarios ocupaban la parcela durante un periodo bastante prolongado de tiempo, que tendio a crecer durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; y, en segundo, que a menudo los cultivadores eran indemnizados al finalizar su contrato por las mejoras que habian introducido. A largo plazo, todo ello consolido su posicion, porque el cultivador se convirtio en “semipropietario” de hecho de la tierra mejorada. Por su parte, los terratenientes rentistas ob…
Youth Transition from School to Work in Spain
2001
Using a data set drawn from the Encuesta Socio-Demográfica conducted by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística in 1991, we analyze the labor market entrance of Spanish school leavers and the match between education and work at the early stages of working life. The empirical evidence shows that human capital exerts a strong influence on the duration of unemployment. With regard to the job match between education and work we find that young workers are more likely to be underutilized compared to their adult co-workers. Regression results indicate that people with higher education have, all else being equal, a lower probability of being overeducated and a shorter lenght of unemployment. They al…
Are discriminatory procurement policies motivated by protectionism ?
1995
When purchasing goods and services, governments often discriminate in favour of domestic suppliers. It is widely assumed that such behaviour is motivated by protectionism. Although this interpretation is sometimes valid, it is also puzzling. After reviewing some of the puzzles, the paper proposes an alternative explanation of preferential procurement based on the assumption that governmental buyers want to purchase goods and services at minimum cost, but must do this in a context in which, because of the presence of unverifiable services, contracts are necessarily incomplete. The paper argues that preferential purchasing can guarantee the efficient delivery of these unverifiable services.
Contribution à la compréhension des causes des comportements socialement responsables : l'étude des contrats psychologiques au sein d'une entreprise …
2014
Stakeholders require companies to include in their management process social responsibility criteria such as health and safety and the fight against discrimination etc. Standards of CSR or sustainable development (ISO 26000, 14001, OHSAS 18001, 1000 AA ...) are many and reflect the issues and difficulties in its operationalization. NGO‟s criticisms reveal, among other things, the lack of commitment of employees who are at the very heart of the company's shares. This work is part of doctoral research determining causes of socially responsible behavior of employees. We discuss our research in terms of the Employment Relationship-Organization-and inscribe our work in the concept of psychologic…
Giuliano e i nova negotia: sulla tutela dei c.d. contratti innominati tra l’età traianea e l’età dei Severi
2021
The study deals with Julian's thought on the protection of innominate contracts. In this regard, the idea is widespread that the jurist was opposed to an enlargement of the contractual sphere beyond the figures recognized at the edictal level. This conviction is based primarily on Ulp. 4 ad ed. D. 2.14.7.2, well-known testimony in which Julian is reprimanded by Maurician and Ulpian for having granted an action in factum about a case of eviction, for which, according to both jurists his successors, he could have acted with the actio civilis incerti. The study disputes this idea and comes to the conclusion rather than to determine Julian’s solution of Ulp. 4 ad ed. it was a functional (or eco…
Essays On European Natural Gas Market
2018
La presente tesis ha cubierto diferentes aspectos de los mercados europeos del gas natural y la electricidad, en particular algunas propiedades que afectan a la efectividad de la cobertura, como la estacionalidad en varianza y en precios. Asimismo, se ha realizado un estudio de la prima de riesgo del gas natural, su relación con las variables de riesgo y su descomposición en una prima de riesgo de reinversión o ‘rollover’ y una prima de ‘preferencia por liquidez’ relacionada con el plazo. La tesis se compone de tres capítulos: el Capítulo I estudia la estacionalidad en los precios y la volatilidad y cómo mejora la efectividad de la cobertura teniendo en cuenta dicha estacionalidad; el Capít…
Bartomeu de Tresbens, metge i astròleg de Pere el Cerimomiós : aproximació biogràfica i diplomatari
2019
Aproximació biogràfica a Bartomeu de Tresbens, físic i astròleg al servei del rei Pere el Cerimoniós i del seu fill l'infant Joan, futur Joan I el Caçador. Ho fem a partir del conjunt de la documentació sobre aquest personatge que fins ara ha estat descoberta als arxius, fonamentalment a l'Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó, i també a partir de les notícies que apareixen en el conjunt de les seves obres sobre astrologia. Hem situat Tresbens en els seus orígens occitans, així com en el context de les activitats econòmiques, polítiques i socials durant el temps que el tenim documentat en terres de la Corona d'Aragó, mostrant l'home que hi ha al darrere de la més important obra astrològica en català. …
How Long-Term Contracts can Mitigate Inefficient Renegotiation Arising Due to Loss Aversion
2021
A loss-averse buyer and seller face an uncertain environment. Should they write a long-term contract or wait until the state of the world is realized? I show that simple long-term contracts perform better than insinuated in Herweg and Schmidt (2015), even though loss aversion makes renegotiation sometimes inefficient. During renegotiation, the outcome induced by the long-term contract constitutes the reference point to which the parties compare gains and losses induced by the renegotiated transaction. Whereas Herweg and Schmidt consider that the long-term contract is always performed, it should not in "bad" states. This alters the threat point in renegotiation, making it easier to renegotia…
