A comparative study on Spanish regions’ investment capacity in a budgetary discipline anticipated scenario, by means of multicriteria Promethee method
(European Regional Science Association (ERSA), 2004) Arévalo Quijada, María Teresa; Castro Nuño, Mercedes; Yñíguez Ovando, Rocío; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Economía Aplicada III
The principle of the budgetary discipline, compulsory for the Spanish regions by the Law 18/2001, December 12th [General Law of Budgetary Stability] and the Organic Law 5/2001, December 13th, complementary to the former one, established in the frame of the European Agreement for Stability and Growth, can generate conflicting situations with those Spanish regions which investment capacity depends on external borrowing. This paper deals with the corresponding relative position of the different regions, according to its investment capacity, using for that purpose a simulation exercise, in which we advance the budgetary stability constraint for the period 1997-2000. In this paper, the public financial activity is treated, for each region, through different public revenue and expenditure ratios per capita. This situation leads to consider a multicriteria Promethee method as the apropriate one to obtain a global ranking for all of them. In the opinion of Al-Shemmeri, Al-Kloub and Rearman (1997), this method is the most adequate one because of the following advantages: public authorities, as decision takers, can understand easily the results, regardless the knowledge they may have about it; the method uses understandable economic parameters; the method avoids distorting scale effects among different alternatives and, as well, makes possible the deviation evaluation between alternatives and, finally, allows for sensibility analysis.
A DEA-based Evaluation of Latin America and the Caribbean Agricultural Environmental Performance under the Assumption of Natural and Managerial Efficiency
(Universidad de Huelva, 2017) Moreno-Moreno, Juan-Javier; Sanz Díaz, María Teresa; Velasco Morente, Francisco; Ludena, Carlos E.; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Economía Aplicada I; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
This study uses the Data Envelopment Analysis to measure the agricultural environmental performance under the assumption of natural and managerial disposability, but also evaluates the Returns to Scale and Damages to Scale in Latin America and the Caribbean during 2012. Seven agricultural variables are analyzed: animal feed, fertilizers, capital stock, labor, land, value of the gross agricultural production and agricultural emissions (CO2eq). The results found that the Bahamas, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica and Mexico attained the maximum efficiency level in all efficiency measurements. These countries present the best performances compared with the other countries evaluated
A feasible proposal for energy-efficient roof retrofitting in southern European obsolete residential neighborhoods
(MDPI, 2023) Domínguez Torres, Carlos Antonio; Domínguez Torres, Helena; Hernández Valencia, Miguel; Roa Fernández, Jorge; Herrera-Limones, Rafael; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Estructuras de Edificación e Ingeniería del Terreno; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
1960s Europe saw a large number of residential neighborhoods built to house those migrating from the countryside. Today, more than 50 years later, these neighborhoods suffer high levels of functional, social, and technical obsolescence. In response to this, the University of Seville developed the Aura Strategy as an intervention methodology to find global solutions to issues in outdated neighborhoods. To provide visibility to this aspect of the Aura Strategy, the retrofit proposal presented in this article provides a solution to improve the roofing of buildings in a case study neighborhood (Polígono de San Pablo, Seville) and an analysis of the results in terms of energy and financial savings for local residents. The results show that for a population of roughly 18,000 (in 2018), net savings, including energy and retrofitting costs, ranging from nearly e6.5 to over e8.6 million can be made over the 20-year life-cycle span. Likewise, the results obtained on the reduction of thermal loads indicate a 72% decrease in energy consumption, equivalent to a saving of close to 4500 tons of greenhouse gas emissions for the district and the entire life-cycle time period, with the consequent benefits on the impact on air quality and the fight against climate change.
A global and comparative assessment of the level of economic circularity in the EU
(Elsevier, 2023) Martínez Moreno, María Magdalena; Buitrago Esquinas, Eva María; Yñíguez Ovando, Rocío; Puig Cabrera, Miguel; Universidad de Sevilla.

The European Union (EU) stands as one of the pioneering areas worldwide in the planning of the Circular Economy (CE), despite the fact that practical advances in this area are currently ahead of the related research. Significant gaps remain to be filled, particularly with regard to the measurement of circularity. This work is based on the need for global tools to measure the circular transition which, in turn, can be useful in evaluating the implementation of the action plans under development by the EU. A composite index of economic circularity (CECI) has been built for the EU and its Member States with which to approximate the progress after completion of the first Action Plan for the Circular Economy (APCE): 2014–2020. This index is based on recycling and downcycling, which is the main strategy developed by APCE. In contrast to previous indicators, CECI globally and rigorously summarises the transition towards the circular economy throughout the period of validity of the plan, by using a simple and easy-to-interpret calculation methodology known as Principal Component Analysis. Likewise, the results of the CECI make it possible to establish a ranking of the EU Member States based on their CE performances for each year under consideration. The results of the CECI show that the EU as a whole has advanced in economic circularity by 17.9%, which is almost 3% on average per year. The situation is very uneven across the various Member States and, although differences have narrowed during the APCE period, in recent years this rapprochement has deaccelerated. The countries that continue to lead the circular transition of the EU are the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, while trailing behind are Romania, Malta, and Cyprus. In light of the results of the CECI and with the aim of achieving greater convergence in the transition to economic circularity in the EU, it would be advisable to intensify actions in those Member States whose starting situation is comparatively worse.
A multi-dimensional analysis on how different types of innovations impact SMEs business performance
(2019) Sanchís Llopis, Juan A.; Expósito García, Alfonso; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
This paper examines the impact of innovation decisions on business performance for small and medium-sized enterprises based on a multi-dimensional analytical approach. With this aim, the impact of the firm’s innovation decisions (in terms of the introduction of product, process, and/or organisational innovation) on four alternative performance indicators (two financial indicators: sales increase and cost reduction; and two operational indicators: increase of productive capacity and improvement in quality) is analysed. Additionally, an array of potential moderating determinants (such as firm and entrepreneur characteristics) are controlled for. Our findings highlight the existence of positive impacts of innovation decisions on both dimensions of business performance (financial and operational), but these impacts significantly differ depending on the type of innovation and the performance indicator considered. Thus, in order to study the multifaceted effects of innovation decisions made by the firm, results point out that the relationship between innovation (product, process, or organisational) and business performance should be analysed from a multi-dimensional approach. These findings imply significant implications for the design and implementation of innovation strategies in SMEs, since these should be tailored according to the business performance sought by the firm.
A multi-regional input-output analysis of ozone precursor emissions embodied in Spanish international trade
(Elsevier Science, 2016) Román Collado, Rocío; Cansino Muñoz-Repiso, José Manuel; Rueda Cantuche, José Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis económico y economía política; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis económico y economía política
Higher levels of ozone in the troposphere is a severe threat to both environment and human health. Many countries are concerned about the effects that critical levels of ozone have on them. Countries pollute to satisfy their domestic and external demand (production perspective) and, at the same time, these countries also generate emissions abroad indirectly via their imports and via their domestic production (consumption perspective). Spain is one of the EU countries with the highest pollution records in the emissions of tropospheric ozone precursor gases. A multiregional input-output model (MRIO) allows us to analyze the total emissions embodied in Spanish international trade in 35 sectors within the EU area and the rest of the world. MRIO models, are commonly chosen as they provide an appropriate methodological framework for complete emissions footprint estimates at the national and supranational level The results show that the most polluting sectors involved in Spanish trade are Agriculture, Basic Metals, Coke and Refined Petroleum Production. Some policy recommendations follow these results; for example, a higher number of environmental regulations focused on the Agricultural sector, such as the introduction of codes of good practices in the use of fertilizers and the promotion of cleaner production technologies might lead to less burden to the environment.

A review of nature-based solutions for urban water management in European circular cities: a critical assessment based on case studies and literature
(IWA publishing, 2020) Oral, Hasan Volkan; Carvalho, P.; Expósito García, Alfonso; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
Nature-based solutions (NBS) can protect, manage and restore natural or modified ecosystems. They are a multidisciplinary, integrated approach to address societal challenges and some natural hazards effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits. NBS applications can be easily noticed in circular cities, establishing an urban system that is regenerative and accessible. This paper aims to offer a review on NBS for urban water management from the literature and some relevant projects running within the COST Action ‘Implementing nature-based solutions for creating a resourceful circular city’. The method used in the study is based on a detailed tracking of specific keywords in the literature using Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Based on this review, three main applications were identified: (i) flood and drought protection; (ii) the water-food-energy nexus; and (iii) water purification. The paper shows that NBS provide additional benefits, such as improving water quality, increasing biodiversity, obtaining social co-benefits, improving urban microclimate, and the reduction of energy consumption by improving indoor climate. The paper concludes that a systemic change to NBS should be given a higher priority and be preferred over conventional water infrastructure.
A simplified hydro-economic model of Guadalquivir river basin for analysis of water-pricing scenarios
(MDPI, 2020) Borrego Marín, María del Mar; Expósito García, Alfonso; Berbel, J.; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
This study describes an economic model in the Guadalquivir river basin (Southern Spain) that considers inter-sectoral and hydrological effects of changes in water use as a response to various water-pricing policy scenarios. The main economic variables include water use, gross regional product, return flows in the river basin, and employment at sectoral and basin levels. The response of the different sectors to water pricing and of the sectoral productivity is derived from official data. The background of the model is based on previous research for the implementation of the UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounts and on the application of this framework to the Guadalquivir basin. Results based on the elicited curves illustrate that the structure of the demand function for irrigated agriculture passes from inelastic to elastic sections, while the function corresponding to the remaining economic sectors shows a continuous decreasing function with minor change in the elasticity structure of the curve. Results show that the impact of extreme measures of water pricing reduces water abstraction by up to 42% vs. the baseline scenario, with an economic reduction in regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 1%.
A straightforward diagnostic tool to identify attribute non-attendance in discrete choice experiments
(Elsevier, 2021) Espinosa Goded, María del Pilar; Rodriguez-Entrena, Macario; Salazar Ordóñez, Melania; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
To distinguish between respondents that have attended to/ignored an attribute in discrete choice experiments (DCE), Hess and Hensher (HH) apply the coefficient of variation of the conditional distribution, setting a threshold of 2 as a conservative rule of thumb. This paper develops an analytical framework (piecewise regression analysis — PWRA) to refine the HH approach, offering a flexible method to identify attribute non-attendance (ANA) in highly context-dependent DCE. It is empirically tested on a datasetusedtovalueagriculturalpublicgoods.Theresultssuggestthattheidentification of non-attendance and goodness of fit of different random parameter logit models that accommodate ANA are better when the framework developed in this research is applied. When comparing welfare estimates from the HH and PWRA approach, significant differences are observed. Consequently, the flexibility of the PWRA notably contributes to revealing context-specific ANA patterns that can help to provide more accurate welfare measures and therefore policy recommendations.
A tool proposal to detect operating anomalies in the Spanish wholesale electricity market
(Elsevier, 2020) Román Collado, Rocío; Cansino Muñoz-Repiso, José Manuel; Colinet Carmona, María José; Dugo Domínguez, Víctor; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
Mainly in the mass media, the operating of the wholesale electricity market in Spain is under of controversy because of the sensitivity of end consumers to the price of their electricity bill. Part of the controversy derives from possible collusive behavior from the main generation companies due they shared 55% of wholesale market. The goal of this paper is to design a tool to detect anomalies in determining electricity prices on that market. The tool claim to be used by supervisory agencies with responsibility on this market. The tool is based on a spatial LMDI-I decomposition analysis. This methodological approach has been less developed in the literature than the temporal LMDI-I analysis. Decomposition is applied to the differences between the daily cost and monthly average cost of electricity generation. To test the smooth functioning of the tool, data was taken for a period of time in which the supervisory agency sanctioned proceedings for generation companies but also for control periods of time when no sanctions were imposed. The decomposition analysis used the price, structure and scale effects as the decomposition effects. The proposed tool has allowed us to capture anomalous behaviours of the electricity costs in the electricity wholesale market for the same periods in which the supervisory agency in charge initiated sanctioning proceedings. These anomalies do not appear in the control periods for which the tool was tested.
A translog production function for the Spanish provinces: Impact of the human and physical capital in economic growth
(Elsevier Science, 2013) Pablo-Romero Gil-Delgado, María del Populo; Gómez-Calero Valdés, M. Palma; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
A translog production function and an extended translog production function with third-order terms are estimated for the 50 Spanish provinces in the period 1985–2006. The results show the existence of comple- mentarity relationships between private physical and human capital. Likewise, they show the existence of decreasing returns of private physical and human capital. However, the direction of the decreasing returns of private physical capital is reversed for a high endowment level of this factor. These results suggest the importance of capitalizing the Spanish economy, since it would increase the effect of human capital upon productivity and may also generate positive externalities.
A Water Footprint Management Construct in Agri-Food Supply Chains: a Content Validity Analysis
(MDPI, 2022) Werneck Barbosa, Marcelo; Cansino Muñoz-Repiso, José Manuel; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política
Common problems when carrying out water footprint (WF) assessments are obtaining specific primary data, dealing with the complexity of its computation, and the availability of quality data. In a supply chain context, inconsistencies are even more exacerbated. In order to fill in this research gap, this study proposes and evaluates the content validity of a survey scale to assess WF management initiatives implemented by companies, with a focus on supply chains and the agriculture industry. In order to do so, a literature review was performed to identify candidate survey items whose content was later validated with experts in terms of their relevance, clarity, and essentiality to measure WF management. Content validity was assessed using several indices (items’ content validity index (I-CVI), Kappa’s coefficient, Aiken’ V coefficient, and content validity ratio (CVR)), which indicated high content validity for the selected items. This study provides a set of measurement survey items that can be used to evaluate WF management initiatives implemented in agri-food supply chains in future empirical studies

En España, la aceituna de mesa se produce principalmente en Andalucía. Destaca la producción de Sevilla. El cultivo del olivar con las variedades Manzanilla y Gordal se encuentra en un contexto bastante difícil y complejo desde hace un buen número de años. Por una parte, está en clara desventaja frente a otros sistemas olivareros con variedades con menos costes y más competitivas. Además, la fuerte expansión internacional del olivar de mesa con plantaciones intensivas y costes bajos son un serio competidor para el olivar manzanillo y para el gordal. Y por otra, se ha producido una concentración en el sector de la gran Distribución comercial, adquiriendo un elevado poder de negociación en la cadena de valor. El objetivo general es el estudio de los principales cambios en el cultivo del olivar de las variedades Manzanilla y Gordal, y la estimación de la rentabilidad de la cadena de valor

Adaptación de las asignaturas de Economía a las experiencias recientes de innovación docente
(Iris-copy, 2014) Vázquez Bermúdez, Isabel; González-Limón, Myriam; Pazos Casado, Manuel Luis; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Vázquez Bermúdez, Isabel
La metodología de aprendizaje continuo, como consecuencia de la aplicación del Plan Bolonia, ha supuesto la constante adaptación de los proyectos docentes a la definición de un portfolio de tareas y pruebas periódicas de control que han sido objeto de análisis por los responsables de las asignaturas al final de cada curso, teniendo en cuenta los resultados académicos y la distribución del trabajo del alumnado a lo largo del periodo lectivo. En este trabajo se muestran los resultados de la experiencia docente en las asignaturas de Economía I y II, de primer curso en el Grado de Turismo, y su evolución a lo largo de los cursos 2012/2013 y 2013/2014, en base a unos cambios provocados por la eliminación de las horas Tutela de Actividades Académicas Dirigidas (T.A.A.D.) en el Plan docente del curso 2013/2014, lo que supuso para el profesorado de la asignatura el reto de sustituir estas actividades de evaluación continua por otras, donde el trabajo del alumnado fuera directamente evaluado en clase. El análisis permite tener elementos de juicio para seleccionar y definir los sistemas de enseñanza-aprendizaje y evaluación futuros.
Addicted to cruises? Key drivers of cruise ship loyalty behavior through an e-WOM approach
(Emerald, 2021) Castillo Manzano, José I.; Castro Nuño, Mercedes; Pozo Barajas, Rafael del; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Economía Financiera y Dirección de Operaciones; Universidad de Sevilla. Applied Economic and Management Research Group
Purpose – This paper aims to identify the drivers that explain loyalty behavior in cruise tourism with the aim of achieving a better understanding of repeat cruisers’ intentions to sail on the same ship or on another ship belonging to the same cruise line or cruise corporation. Design/methodology/approach – Based on over 150,000 online reviews about their satisfaction and experience posted by cruisers using so-called electronic Word of Mouth (e-WOM), the authors apply both a graphic and an econometric technique through input-output circular plots and discrete choice models. Findings – The main results show that cruisers’ behavior is influenced by multiple onboard attributes, such as the service crew, entertainment options, type of cabin, some characteristics of the ship (age, capacity) and the cruise line (Premium-Luxury versus mainstream), and, specifically, the quality and variety of the gastronomic experience. Practical implications – The results highlight that repeats cruisers are predominantly linked to a cruise company or a cruise corporation rather than a particular ship. This result provides information on the moderators that can influence the customers’ repetition behavior, which might be useful for planning revenue management and extending knowledge on hospitality loyalty in general and in the cruise industry in particular, specifically under the current uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value – The previous literature has essentially examined revisit intentions in the cruise market from a qualitative approach and the authors have found no study to date that has simultaneously addressed this issue in three dimensions, namely, ship, cruise line and cruise corporation. The research fills this gap by determining the reasons why passengers would repeat a cruise either on the same ship, with the same cruise line or the same cruise corporation based on previous experience.
Agricultural Irrigation Water Use in a Closed Basin and the Impacts on Water Productivity: The Case of the Guadalquivir River Basin (Southern Spain)
(MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), 2017) Expósito García, Alfonso; Berbel Vecino, Julio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (MINECO). España
This paper analyses the agricultural irrigation water use in a closed basin and the impacts on water productivity, and examines how they have affected the ‘closure’ process of the Guadalquivir river basin observed in recent decades. Following a period of expansion in irrigation, an administrative moratorium was declared on new irrigated areas in 2005. Since then, the main policy measure has been aimed at the modernisation of irrigated agriculture and the implementation of water conservation technologies. The analysis carried out in this paper shows a significant increase in mean irrigation water productivity in the pre-moratorium period (1989–2005), driven by the creation of new irrigated areas devoted to high value crops and with a dominant use of deficit irrigation strategies, while a second phase (2005–2012) is characterised by slower growth in terms of the mean productivity of irrigation water, primarily as a result of a significant reduction in water use per area. Findings show that productivity gains seem to have reached a ceiling in this river basin, since technological innovations (such as new crops, deficit irrigation, and water-saving and conservation technologies) have reached the limits of their capacity to create new value.
Altruism around the world. What can we learn from international surveys?
(2024-01) Artero López, Jesús Manuel; Caraballo, M. Ángeles; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Economía e Historia Económica; Universidad de Sevilla. Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Hinojosa Ramos, Miguel Ángel; Mármol Conde, Amparo María
This paper strives to provide an overview of altruism around the world whilst tackling these two issues from an economic perspective. Since we address altruism at an international level, our focus is on international surveys as a way of approaching altruism, and experimental methods have been disregarded. More precisely, we have selected the most commonly used international surveys in the economic literature: Global Preference Survey (GPS), World Values Survey (WVS), International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), European Social Survey (ESS), and General Social Survey (GSS). These surveys have been widely employed to analyse the characteristics of altruistic individuals and the implications of altruism on areas as diverse as the contribution to public goods, the prevention of COVID, the reduction of corruption, the redistribution of income, and public.
