Smart specialization strategies (RIS3) have been implemented in the State of Mexico, one of the most important regions in Mexico, this framework was used to create state innovation agendas (SIA). Therefore, the main objective of this document is to analyze the experience of a project using the RIS3 methodology to build up an SIA as the basis to structuring a regional innovation system (RIS). We conclude that RIS3 in lagging countries face difficulties to be successful, especially if in the region there is a weak governance structure, an adverse institutional framework, and a lack of funding for innovation activities.

One of the most important phenomena of economic development in recent decades has been the services sector growth, which today represents the main economic sector worldwide, as well as a growing share of international trade. Among the causes that explain this growth is the trade opening to which they have been subject. However, due to the nature of barriers to trade in services and therefore the way in which their commitments are established, the analysis of the impact of trade negotiations on the incorporation of services in the domestic industry has not been profound. This article seeks, through the use of a new database that quantifies the liberalization achieved in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), to analyze its impact on the penetration of imported services within the manufacturing industry. Using data from the World Input-Product Database (WIOD) for 43 countries in the period 2000-2014, we managed to establish that the integration of imported services into the domestic industry is positively correlated with the level of openness recorded in the GATS.

Since nominal interest rate and nominal exchange rate are common for the Euro-zone (EZ) members, inflation differentials initiate real interest rate and real exchange rate divergences with further spill-over effects. The aim of the research is to investigate in which extent national price level, real interest rate and real exchange rate, co-move or diverge from supranational EZ variables. The research results, based on heterogeneous dynamic macro-panel data of 12 initial EZ members in the period 1999Q1-2019Q4, confirm heterogeneous adjustment, as well as the lack of balancing towards equilibrium, as a sign of EZ vulnerability.

During the confinement due to the Covid-19 crisis, economies survived thanks to the available technology and changes of the production model. To study the vulnerability of the economies against the challenges of the recovery, in this paper, we study the role of some factors related to the development of productive sectors, the use of technology, and the structure of public finances. Using panel data estimations, for the European Union, we identify some characteristics that would help economies to boost economic growth. We find that the employment in sectors with a high technological content is the variable that most drives output growth.

espanolEste articulo presenta una investigacion empirica sobre como la politica monetaria puede afectar a la distribucion del ingreso. Tras describir los canales a traves de los cuales la politica monetaria puede tener un impacto en la distribucion de la renta, se realiza un analisis para un panel de 15 paises de la UE (Union Europea) que abarca el periodo 1995-2014. Los resultados evidencian una relacion positiva significativa entre los tipos de interes reales y la desigualdad de ingresos medida como el coeficiente de Gini. Sin embargo, esta relacion solo es significativa a medio plazo, pero no a corto plazo. Nuestros resultados plantean que los bancos centrales tengan en consideracion los efectos redistributivos de la politica monetaria.

After describing the channels through which monetary policy may have an impact on income distribution, we perform a panel analysis of 15 EU (European Union) countries covering the period 1995-2014. The results provide evidence of a significant positive relationship between real interest rates and income inequality measured as the Gini coefficient. However, this relationship only becomes significant in the medium term but not in the short term. Our findings call for greater attention by central bankers to the redistributive effects of monetary policy.

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar como influyen las condiciones economicas y los valores culturales de un pais en su actividad emprendedora, utilizando un panel de datos. Se aplica un enfoque novedoso, que se adapta al hecho de que los factores culturales son bastante estables en el tiempo, mientras que las condiciones economicas son cambiantes. Concretamente, se plantea un modelo de produccion con frontera, en el que las condiciones economicas (cambiantes) determinan la frontera maxima para la tasa de emprendimiento de un pais, mientras que los valores culturales predominantes (estables) explican el nivel de eficiencia-ineficiencia. En concreto, el arraigo es el valor cultural que presenta la relacion mas fuerte con el nivel de eficiencia.

espanolNuestra investigacion pretende revelar si existen diferencias entre los paises de la zona euro y los de fuera de ella en cuanto al cumplimiento de algunas variables relevantes establecidas en los criterios de Maastricht (inflacion, deficit y deuda publica). Tambien examinamos las consecuencias del incumplimiento de uno o varios de estos criterios, incluyendose el desempleo, relacionandolo con el rendimiento de los bonos a largo plazo de los paises que se incorporaron a la moneda comun con los que no lo hicieron. Los resultados muestran que, en terminos generales, el incumplimiento ha sido mas perjudicial en los paises de la Eurozona, especialmente en terminos de deficit y desempleo. EnglishOur study aims to reveal whether there are differences between the Eurozone and non-Eurozone countries in terms of their compliance with the variables established in the Maastricht criteria (inflation, public deficit, and public debt) to which we extend unemployment and the long term bond yields of countries that joined the common currency and those that did not. The results show that, in general terms, the non-compliance has been most hurtful in the Eurozone countries, especially in terms of deficit and unemployment.
