It is well known that donors pursue different objectives (altruistic objectives or those based on recipient, and donor interests) in granting their aid. This study proposes an innovative tool that enables a combination of both types of objectives, allowing each donor (bilateral or multilateral) to better understand, optimise and target the distribution of its ODA according to the interests of both parties to the transaction (donor and recipient). This tool uses concentration curves and Suits’ indices to determine an optimal distribution of aid through the development of a constrained optimisation program that encompasses all of its purposes. Furthermore, used at the aggregate level, this tool could facilitate donor coordination to achieve international development goals.

Economic accounts at sub-territorial level are projected primarily through Location Quotients (LQ). The degrees of sectoral specialisation at this level will therefore be key in spatial projections. This article advocates rectified use of the Cross-Industry Location Quotient (CILQ). Indirectly, the aim is to check to what extent CILQs are well exploited, given that they are the fundamental reference in other techniques. The input-output (IO) tables for the Euro 19 Area for 2010 and 2015 are taken as a reference for analysis purposes. A statistic is used to measure the degree of similarity between the accounting frameworks of ten countries in the Euro Area and their projections using CILQ, Flegg's formula, its augmented version, and the CILQ variant.

The objective is to determine the relationship between the openness of markets and human development in Mexico and France for the period 2000–2019. A comparative analysis is carried out by looking at the effect of migration (measured by the inflow of remittances) and the opening of capital markets and trade on the Human Development Index in both countries. Estimations are based on a Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive model. Results show that Foreign Direct Investments has a positive influence on HDI in both countries, but remittances seem to contribute more to human development, in Mexico, than trade and capital liberalization do.

Este artículo analiza el acuerdo de tributación global para empresas multinacionales alcanzado por el G20 en octubre de 2021, que supone un importante primer paso tanto para que las empresas multinacionales paguen los impuestos que les correspondan como para que los paraísos fiscales vean notablemente erosionado su modelo de negocio. Se apoya en el marco de análisis de economía política planteado por Hall (1997) para explicar el papel de las ideas, los intereses y las instituciones en la consecución de un acuerdo global que había sido imposible alcanzar previamente. Asimismo, detalla el contenido del acuerdo, su funcionamiento y su posible impacto económico.

In this paper, a comparative analysis between the main political citizen attitudes before the crisis in Iceland and Spain is carried out. After a brief review of political and economical antecendents, it was concluded that in Spain, as well as in Iceland, the key explanatory factors of the deep economic imbalances are located at the institutional sphere. The excesses are related in both cases to political clientelism and to diverse corruptions practices, in such a way that even the alarming signs that preceded “the official date” of the economic crisis, no convenient measures were adopted in time. In this context, the crisis has played a catalyst role, accelerating the demands aimed at achieving a better performance of the democratic system in both countries. Distrust in politicians and in political parties, as well as in other formal institutions, has not been translated neither in lack of confidence in the democracy system per se, nor in poltical apathy. Moreover, the discontent has been in both cases translated into both formulae of more political informal participation and of a greater support to more direct democracy, though through differents channels and with different results. In the discussion, diverse hypotheses are explored in order to explain the main findings in the comparative analysis. On the one hand, some of the variables associated to small-states literature are taken into account, in order to argue the main differences found out between the Spanish and Icelandic cases. On the other, diverse hypotheses from the political science literature are considered in search of a plausible explanation of the major parallelisms found.

Con datos de la Encuesta Europea de Calidad de Vida 2011, se exponen las razones y el método para la elaboración de un indicador de bienestar socioemocional subjetivo de tipo cuantitativo aplicando un Sistema de Ecuaciones Estructurales. Las diferencias entre 25 países europeos apuntan a diversos factores socioeconómicos nacionales. A partir de una selección de 7 países del conjunto inicial, se analizan esos factores determinantes del Indicador mediante regresiones. Como variables explicativas encontramos la satisfacción con el trabajo, el nivel de vida, cuestiones relacionadas con la familia, las relaciones sociales y factores sociopolíticos como la confianza institucional y las políticas de bienestar. Los resultados señalan que ese indicador de bienestar permite establecer comparaciones más aproximadas a la realidad que otras medidas. Se observa que las diferencias nacionales muestran realidades dispares a tener en cuenta en las políticas públicas.

Cada vez es más frecuente el uso de indicadores subjetivos para el estudio de la calidad de vida, por el interés que genera conocer no solo lo que tienen sino también lo que sienten los ciudadanos en diferentes ámbitos de su vida. El objetivo de este trabajo es construir indicadores sintéticos subjetivos que cuantifiquen la calidad de vida en los distintos países de la UE-28, con los datos de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida (EQLS) en los años 2007, 2011 y 2016. Se construirá un indicador sintético general utilizando dos metodologías, basados en formulaciones claramente diferentes: análisis de Mazziota-Pareto (IMP) y análisis de componentes principales estandarizado (IACP) en los tres períodos. El estudio en varios años permite analizar la evolución de la calidad de vida en la UE-28 en el tiempo. Mediante ambos procedimientos se obtienen resultados similares en la clasificación de los países.

This paper empirically analyzes the convergence and interdependence of environmental taxes in Europe from 1998 to 2018. Our results evidence a lack of European integration and reveal a group of converging countries characterized by a lowering tax burden. Moreover, a subsequent spatial regression analysis supports that the converging countries exhibit a significantly greater sensibility to the neighboring environmental tax policies, compatible with some degree of cross-country tax competition.
