Worldwide Fiscal Progressivity: What can we Learn from Subjective Wellbeing Economics?
(Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, 2023) Ruiz Guillermo, Angela; Gómez García, Francisco; Palma Martos, Luis Antonio; Economía e Historia Económica
The link between fiscal progressivity and subjective well-being at global level is an issue that has hardly been considered in the literature on the Economics of Happiness. Oishiet al.(2012)is almost the only work in this field, and they concluded that those countries which had more progressive income tax systems were also happier. Our work use their definition of progressivity as the difference between the upper and lower marginal rate on income, in order to prove its relationship with subjective well-being (SWB), but we have observed that such indicator is not very significant for a sample of 111 countries. Besides, we conclude that the fact that a country's maximum income tax rate is high turns out to have a strong influence on the declared subjective well-being of its citizens. One possible explanation for it couldbe that they are countries with a high GDP per capita in which disposable income after taxes remains high. However, it must be taken into account that in our work we have managed to isolate the influences that the GDP per capita variable could have using the principal component analysis method.
Artes escénicas y territorio: cómo el capital cultural influye en la participación teatral de los mayores en el País Vasco
(Gobierno Vasco. Departamento de Economía, Trabajo y Empleo, 2025) Díaz León, Blas; Martínez Fernández, Ignacio; Palma Martos, Luis Antonio; Heredia Carroza, Jesús; Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Economía e Historia Económica
Las diferencias en la oferta cultural tienen un impacto significativo en la participación en las artes escénicas, ya que las características territoriales pueden influir en estos patrones. En este contexto, el estudio de la asistencia al teatro en los distintos territorios de España resulta particularmente relevante. Este trabajo analiza el papel del capital cultural y social en la participación en el teatro en el País Vasco, utilizando datos de la Encuesta de Hábitos y Prácticas Culturales de España 2018-2019. Los resultados revelan que el número de variables que explican la participación es menor en el grupo de mayores de 65 años. En particular, las variables que miden el interés cultural no influyen en su asistencia al teatro, ni tampoco la educación superior, a diferencia de los otros grupos etarios. Además, aunque según las teorías del capital cultural el entorno familiar desempeña un papel clave en la transmisión del gusto y la participación cultural, los hallazgos indican que, en el caso de los mayores de 65 años, la participación cultural de los padres tiene un efecto negativo.
The Contribution of US Taxes and Social Transfers to Income Redistribution
(Sage, 2012) Hierro Recio, Luis Ángel; Gómez-Álvarez Díaz, Rosario; Atienza Montero, Pedro; Economía e Historia Económica
The aim of this work is to solve the problem of nonadditivity revealed by work that calculates the redistributive effects of the budget or public policies made up of different instruments of income or public spending. To do this, the authors use the Shapley value. This technique allows us to consistently, symmetrically, and directly decompose the redistributive effect and the vertical and horizontal effects. This method is consistent because the total effects can be explained by the sum of the individual contributions; it is symmetrical because it does not depend on the aggregation ranking of the instruments; and it is direct because each index can be calculated without the need to calculate the rest. The main result obtained for the case of taxes and social transfers in the United States is that previous calculations undervalued the redistributive effects and their vertical and horizontal components for taxes and transfers. Undervaluation is more important for taxes.
Balancing relational and contractual governance to foster innovation: Evidence from smes in morocco’s textile Sector
(Elsevier, 2025) Hanane Bougadir; García Sánchez, Antonio; Mustapha Zahir; Economía e Historia Económica
This study investigates the innovation behaviors of subcontracting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Morocco’s textile industry, focusing on the governance mechanisms influencing these behaviors. SMEs signifi- cantly contribute to Morocco’s economy but face intensified global competition and complexities within multinational supply networks. Subcontracting emerges as a strategic response, providing SMEs with avenues for growth and innovation. Yet, the specific governance conditions enabling or constraining subcontractor inno- vation remain inadequately explored. Adopting an exploratory qualitative approach, this multi-case study ex- amines three Moroccan textile SMEs engaged in international subcontracting. Employing thematic analysis of interview data, observations, and secondary sources, the research identifies critical factors influencing innova- tion behaviors. Findings reveal a nuanced interplay between contractual and relational governance mechanisms. While formal contracts provide structural clarity, relational governance, grounded in trust, proactive commu- nication, and mutual commitment, proves essential for sustained innovative activities. Internal innovation ca- pacities, particularly dedicated funding and skilled personnel, significantly enhance innovation potential but are constrained by limited resources. Moreover, cooperative relationships characterized by mutual learning, risk- sharing, and transparent communication foster innovation more effectively than transactional subcontracting approaches. This research underscores the necessity of balancing relational trust with contractual protection to optimize SMEs’ innovative performance. Practical implications include recommendations for SME managers to cultivate long-term, trust-based relationships complemented by strategic contractual agreements. Policymakers are advised to encourage relational governance practices through targeted support programs. Future studies should extend these insights across different sectors and larger samples to validate the findings’ broader applicability.
Retirement Decisions in Recessionary Times: Evidence from Spain
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017) Amuedo-Dorantes, Catalina; Borra Marcos, Cristina; Economía e Historia Económica
The recession that started in the United States in December 2007 has had a significant impact on the Spanish economy through a large increase of the unemployment rate and the bursting of the housing and financial bubbles. We explore how the crisis and changes in the labor, housing, and financial markets might have impacted retirement patterns of Spanish men and women nearing retirement age. We find that the recession primarily reduced women’s retirement likelihood by 27%. The effect, which was associated with the labor market deterioration, as captured by higher unemployment rates, was circumscribed to women already at work, who chose to stay at work longer. In contrast, for the most part, men’s retirement likelihood did not change with the labor, housing, and financial market fluctuations. Overall, the findings suggest that working women might have prolonged their working lives to make up for lost household income.
New Evidence on Breastfeeding and Postpartum Depression: The Importance of Understanding Women's Intentions
(Springer Nature, 2015) Borra Marcos, Cristina; Iacovou, Maria; Sevilla, Almudena; Economía e Historia Económica
This study aimed to identify the causal effect of breastfeeding on postpartum depression (PPD), using data on mothers from a British survey, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Multivariate linear and logistic regressions were performed to investigate the effects of breastfeeding on mothers’ mental health measured at 8 weeks, 8, 21 and 32 months postpartum. The estimated effect of breastfeeding on PPD differed according to whether women had planned to breastfeed their babies, and by whether they had shown signs of depression during pregnancy. For mothers who were not depressed during pregnancy, the lowest risk of PPD was found among women who had planned to breastfeed, and who had actually breastfed their babies, while the highest risk was found among women who had planned to breastfeed and had not gone on to breastfeed. We conclude that the effect of breastfeeding on maternal depression is extremely heterogeneous, being mediated both by breastfeeding intentions during pregnancy and by mothers’ mental health during pregnancy. Our results underline the importance of providing expert breastfeeding support to women who want to breastfeed; but also, of providing compassionate support for women who had intended to breastfeed, but who find themselves unable to.
El sector textil y el comercio exterior de Mallorca en una época de cambio (1630-1720)
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 1999) Bibiloni Amengual, Andrés; Economía e Historia Económica
A lo largo del siglo XVII la economía mallorquina conocerá un profundo cambio estructural identificado, especialmente, en su capacidad exportadora. La tradicional hegemonía de la manufactura de lana en las exportaciones se quiebra para dar paso a la supremacía del aceite. Los paños de baja calidad experimentan un descenso acelerado que les lleva a desaparecer de las exportaciones mientras que desde 168O se disparan las compras de tejidos y fibras de lino y algodón así como de tintes. La balanza comercial se deteriora cuando el aceite, acompañado coyunturalmente por las extracciones de aguardiente, no puede compensar la fiebre importadora. Los productores textiles reaccionan con la producción de telas de lino y algodón. Sin embargo no parecen ser competitivos en el mercado exterior y canalizan su producto hacia el mercado interno. La vinculación con el mercado francés, las nuevas medidas proteccionistas de la segunda década del siglo XVIII y la irrupción del tráfico comercial ligada a la peste de Marsella abren un nuevo tipo de relaciones aún por estudiar.

Water for Whom?: Unravelling the Allocation of Water Storage Capacity between Irrigation and Electricity Uses in Spain during the 20th Century
(Universidad de Murcia, 2024) Bartolomé Rodríguez, Isabel; Rubio Varas, Mar; Sesma Martín, Diego; Economía e Historia Económica
This work explores the intricate dynamics of water management, energy generation, and irrigation in Spain by examining the evolving regulatory framework governing water resource allocation. It introduces a novel approach to quantify water usage and unpacks the ‘mixed uses’ category for the first time, focusing on entities holding water allocation concessions rather than mere dam ownership. Our findings reveal the profound influence of private electricity companies on water resource management, despite the significant portion of state-owned dams. The results point to hydroelectric dominance in water allocation and underscore the complex interaction between public ownership and private management of electric companies. This research emphasises the need for nuanced policy considerations in the broader context of energy and agriculture while contributing to a richer understanding of Spain’s unique water governance landscape.
Feminization of Spanish Regional Parliaments: Influence or Mere Presence?
(Asociación Internacional de Economía Aplicada, 2025) Asián-Chaves, Rosario; Masero Moreno, Inmaculada; Patiño Rodríguez, David; Economía Aplicada II; Economía Aplicada III; Economía e Historia Económica
The aim of this paper is to analyze the historical evolution of gender parity in the 17 Spanish regional parliaments from 1983 to 2021 and to assess whether there are still significant gender differences in the representation of women, especially in positions of power in regional politics. We also examine whether the legal and organic measures aimed at correcting gender imbalances have succeeded in increasing the share of power held by women. As a novelty, the analysis is carried out using feminization indices based on the percentage of female representation in the total. Our main findings, as shown in the results, is an increase in female participation, although there is still a significant gender gap in parliamentary positions of power. Regression analysis is used to identify the determinants of women's participation in regional parliaments. The main results lead us to conclude that scrupulous compliance with the standard is not entirely satisfactory, since the analysis notes the persistence of the glass ceiling in political power. Therefore, our study is relevant given the limited literature on this topic, with some of these hypotheses already being considered in other areas, and opening a line of research with the possibility of extension to other positions of power.
Interés por las artes escénicas desde el capital cultural y la educación: el caso español, 2019
(Editorial Universidad Católica de Colombia, 2023) Díaz León, Blas; Martínez Fernández, Ignacio; Palma Martos, Luis Antonio; Análisis Económico y Economía Política; Economía e Historia Económica
Los estudios de participación cultural tienden a concentrar su enfoque en el análisis de las variables socioeconómicas o la disponibilidad de infraestructuras, dejando en un segundo plano variables de carácter idio-sincrático como el interés manifestado o la predisposición a participar. Empleando los datos de la Encuesta de Hábitos y Prácticas Culturales de España 2018-2019, y mediante la modelización con mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO), se busca estudiar los pesos de las va-riables socioeconómicas clásicas, así como las diferentes variables que componen el capital cultural dado su ca-rácter aditivo en el desarrollo del interés. Los principales resultados obtenidos presentan al capital cultural como el componente más determinante en la formación del interés, siendo la lectura en la infancia la que presenta el mayor impacto. Destaca también la posible existencia de transferencia intergeneracional del interés, al presentar un mayor peso entre las variables la participación de los padres que la del propio sujeto durante la infancia.

Les antécédents de la régulation du service d'électricité en Espagne (1890-1945)
(Armand Colin, 2018) Bartolomé Rodríguez, Isabel; Economía e Historia Económica
Cet article traite de l’intervention publique sur les marchés espagnols de l’électricité au cours de ses cinquante premières années d’existence. Depuis 1900, le gouvernement central a pris en charge l’approbation technique et, depuis la Première guerre mondiale, a intensifié son intervention, déclarant en 1924 l’approvisionnement en électricité comme un service public, mais la législation concernant la régulation physique et économique des marchés de l’électricité est restée dispersée. Sur le plan technique, si la normalisation était adéquate, bien qu’elle n’ait pas fait l’objet d’un contrôle, les coupures de courant et les fraudes de la part des entreprises et des utilisateurs étaient tolérées. Dans le domaine strictement réglementaire, l’accélération de l’accès au marché et le gel des tarifs depuis 1920 ont accéléré à la fois la diffusion de l’éclairage et la transition vers l’hydroélectricité, tout en renforçant l’intégration verticale des entreprises.
La electrificación en países de industrialización tardía: Argentina y España, 1890-1950
(Universidad de Barcelona, 2015) Bartolomé Rodríguez, Isabel; Silvana Lanciotti, Norma; Economía e Historia Económica
Aimed at contributing to study of the electrification of peripheral host economies, this article examines the evolution and characteristics of electricity systems in Spain and Argentina from the early 19th century until the second postwar period. The global management and financing of electric utilities promoted their rapid expansion throughout the Western world, but the evolution of electricity systems in each country greatly diverged according to the timing of industrialisation and local conditions. The article shows that the evolution, profitability and extent of electricity systems depended upon economic conditions, market structures and the natural resources available in each country. While we identify similar trends of electricity production and consumption, the structure of both electricity markets reveals great contrasts. A very profitable electricity system which primarily served the Pampas region became consolidated in Argentina, while the early development of hydroelectricity associated with more diversified regional production made way for a less profitable, but more extended and equitable system in Spain.

The Flemish and German Nation of Seville: Collective Strategies and Institutional Development of the Northern European Merchant Community in Seville, Spain (1568-1598)
(Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis, 2022) Jiménez Montes, Germán; Economía e Historia Económica
This article studies how northern European migrants adapted their collective strate-gies to Seville’s institutional framework in the last third of the sixteenth century and how these strategies shaped the emergence of the so-called Flemish and German nation. It analyzes the group’s motivations to refuse the creation of a particularized commercial institution, as well as the alternative institutional mechanisms they de-veloped to organize themselves in southern Spain. The article sheds light on the role of open-access institutions in Spain to facilitate long-distance trade and gives a new insight into the evolution of the commercial connections between the Spanish monarchy and the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years’ War.
Does Public Expenditure on Education Improve Well-Being? International Evidence
(Wiley, 2025) Rubio Ortiz, Rubén; Patiño Rodríguez, David; Gómez García, Francisco; Economía e Historia Económica
The aim of this article is to quantify the relationship between public expenditure on education and individual subjective well-being, providing empirical evidence of the social return on this investment. We use microdata from the European Social Survey (ESS) merged with macroeconomic variables from official sources. Econometric estimations are carried out using multilevel models. Our results show a positive association between public expenditure on education and individual well-being. However, this effect is not homogeneous across educational levels, as robust evidence of a positive contribution is only found for tertiary education. Furthermore, we explore whether this relationship is contingent on individuals' ideological preferences. Our findings indicate that individuals who espouse a conservative ideology exhibit a weaker effect compared to those with a progressive mindset. Nevertheless, the positive correlation between education expenditure and well-being persists for the latter group. To assess the robustness of our results, we have replicated the calculations using a different survey, specifically the Eurobarometer, and conducted estimations with alternative methodologies, which confirm their consistency.

Una aproximación a Viridiana (1961) desde el enfoque económico
(Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, 2024-01) Martín-Serra, Elena; Gigirey Oliva, Fátima; Palma Martos, Luis Antonio; Economía e Historia Económica
Frente a la arcaica visión de entender las distintas disciplinas desde el aislamiento más radical, este estudio busca aproximarse a la película Viridiana (Buñuel 1961) utilizando herramientas propias de la ciencia económica, combinando el arte y la economía. Se pretende abordar la película desde un enfoque racional y lógico de las decisiones que en ella se toman para complementar los estudios ya existentes desde el campo audiovisual. La metodología de análisis sigue el modelo de sanción de Cournot-Nash, característico de la teoría de juegos, en el que se presenta el problema de decisión al que deben enfrentarse distintos participantes con los distintos criterios para tomar una decisión. Para ello, primero se plantea el pacto desde el enfoque de la teoría del consumidor y, a continuación, se procede a analizar el sentido que guarda el incumplimiento de este, materializado en la celebración del banquete que en la película acontece. También se completa el análisis añadiendo los papeles que la probabilidad y la curva de aprendizaje juegan en la toma de decisiones. Finalmente, se presentan los resultados de dicha decisión, concluyendo que las decisiones narrativas que acontecen en la película guardan sentido económico. Con ello, se ha contribuido al estudio económico del contenido de obras culturales, ampliando esta línea de investigación interdisciplinar para lograr un enfoque más integrador e interdisciplinar.
