Las debilidades que presenta el modelo de financiación local provocan que en algunos municipios haya surgido el debate sobre si la distribución de los fondos de los entes superiores de gobierno se realiza en base a principios adecuados o simplemente son resultado de criterios puramente partidistas. En este contexto, este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar cuáles son los criterios que determinan la cantidad de fondos que reciben los 45 municipios que conforman la Región de Murcia por parte de ésta durante el periodo 2009-2017. A través de un modelo de datos de panel estimado por efectos fijos, se obtiene que el ciclo electoral es el único factor político relevante. Por su parte, los criterios presupuestarios de suficiencia, inversión y deuda per cápita son los más relevantes para determinar las transferencias que reciben los ayuntamientos. Finalmente, destacar que el desempleo ha sido el único factor socio-económico relevante.

This paper analyses the labour efficiency in Andalusia, and takes into account labour and demographic characteristics of the Andalusian municipalities. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is the methodology employed. The results obtained indicate differences at the municipal level that depend on the geographical arrangement, with the provincial capitals being the least efficient. An inverse relationship is established between the size of the municipality (in terms of number of inhabitants) and its labour efficiency: the smaller the size of the municipality, the greater the efficiency. The distance to the capital is also important in establishing the efficiency: the greater the distance to the capital, the greater the efficiency.

The debate on cohesion policy has recently intensified due to the increasing tensions within the EU and requires constant inputs with regards to various instruments which are applied. In Poland, a unique mechanism for guarantee distribution was adopted – the guarantees are mainly distributed through NGOs (nonbanking organisations granting guarantees – NOGG). Thus, the article aims to investigate the relationship between the level of regional development, the experience of nonbanking organisations granting guarantees and their performance which leads to observations and recommendations with regards to the functioning and assessment of guarantees as cohesion policy instruments. We have used panel regression for 156 observations covering 26 NOGG in Poland. The results confirm that there exist positive associations between the level of regional development, NOGG size (measured with guarantee capital) and experience and some financial performance measures. We posit, that a prerequisite for the high performance of these organisations is to ensure that they have an adequate level of guarantee capital and experience. We call for future EU-wide comparative research allowing deeper understanding of various guarantee distribution mechanisms performance.

EnglishThe present article provides a detailed overview regarding the position of Spain and its Autonomous Communities in the European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) programmes where the whole country (or some regions) are eligible. This analysis compares the presence of Spain in terms of participation in projects funded by these programmes, focusing on three main variables: the regional scope, that is the relative presence of each Autonomous Community, the thematic scope, in terms of the different thematic axes of the programme, and in terms of the institutional scope, in terms of the typology of participating institutions. To perform this analysis, a brand new database has been generated, aggregating and treating data from eight different sources linked to the four programmes analysed: Interregs Europe, Atlantic, Mediterranean, and South West. The main result shown in the analysis is that Spain participates in ETC on the average of other EUs states, and that the distribution of this participation among AC depends on each programme and changes over the duration of the programming period; we also show that the distribution across the programmes’ thematic objectives is quite proportionally divided and somewhat in alignment with the use of ERDF in each territory; additionally, we conclude that the role of the private sector is still scarce and must be fostered. EnglishEl presente articulo proporciona una vision detallada sobre la posicion de Espana y sus Comunidades Autonomas en los programas de Cooperacion Territorial Europea (ETC) donde todo el pais (o algunas regiones) son elegibles. Este analisis compara la presencia de Espana en terminos de participacion en proyectos financiados por estos programas, centrandose en tres variables principales: el alcance regional, es decir, la presencia relativa de cada Comunidad Autonoma (CC.AA.), el alcance tematico, en terminos de las diferentes ejes tematicos del programa, y el alcance institucional, en terminos de la tipologia de las instituciones participantes. Para realizar este analisis, se ha generado una nueva base de datos, agregando y tratando datos de ocho fuentes diferentes vinculadas a los cuatro programas analizados: Interregs Europe, Atlantic, Mediterranean y SUDOE (Sur-Oeste). El principal resultado mostrado en el analisis es que Espana participa en ETC en la media de lo que lo hacen otros estados de la UE, y que la distribucion de esta participacion entre CC.AA. depende de cada programa y cambia durante la duracion del periodo de programacion; tambien mostramos que la distribucion entre los objetivos tematicos de los programas esta dividida proporcionalmente y en cierta medida alineada con el uso del FEDER en cada territorio; ademas, concluimos que el papel del sector privado aun es escaso y debe fomentarse.
本文详细概述了西班牙及其自治区在整个国家(或某些地区)都有资格参加的欧洲领土合作(ETC)计划中的地位。这项分析比较了西班牙参与这些方案资助的项目的情况,着重于三个主要变量:区域范围,即每个自治区的相对参与情况;专题范围,就方案的不同主题轴而言;机构范围,就参与机构的类型而言。为了进行这项分析,建立了一个全新的数据库,汇总和处理来自八个不同来源的数据,这些数据与所分析的四个项目有关:Interregs欧洲、大西洋、地中海和西南。分析中显示的主要结果是,西班牙参与ETC的平均水平高于其他欧盟国家,而这种参与在欧洲共同体之间的分布取决于每个方案和方案拟订期间的变化;我们还表明,各个方案的主题目标的分布是相当按比例划分的,并且在某种程度上与每个地区使用的ERDF保持一致;此外,我们的结论是,私营部门的作用仍然很少,必须加以促进。英文他提出了《关于西班牙通过自治委员会和欧洲领土合作方案(ETC)的立场的具体比例和愿景》,这些方案是为了在符合条件的情况下完成el pais (o algunas regions)的工作。对西班牙项目参与情况的比较分析,财政方案参与情况的比较分析,集中变量分析原则:区域平衡、决策、相对于西班牙自治共同体的参与情况(CC.AA.)、技术平衡、方案参与情况的比较分析、机构平衡、机构参与情况的比较分析。Para实现了环境分析,即建立了新的数据基础,整合了不同地区的环境数据,建立了不同的环境分析方案:欧洲、大西洋、地中海和SUDOE (Sur-Oeste)。主要的结果是,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中,在西班牙的参与和分析中。取决于哥伦比亚的加拿大方案durante la durion del periodo de方案;在全国范围内,根据分配中心的目标,按比例分配分配方案,并在全国范围内分配分配方案;因此,结论是,部门私营部门的私营部门是由私营部门管理的。

De manera complementaria, la LOEPSF tambien ha presentado deficiencias para cubrir el periodo transitorio ahora finalizado, en la aplicacion de los mecanismos correctivos, en la ausencia de un mayor automatismo y en la interpretacion de algunas de sus clausulas sobre superavits e ingresos extraordinarios. De cara a su posible reforma, habria que tener en cuenta el nuevo marco de gobernanza fiscal europeo, una eventual reforma de la financiacion autonomica en un contexto de profunda recesion economica y un cambio radical (si no la deseable eliminacion) de los mecanismos extraordinarios de financiacion. EnglishThis paper provides a critical assessment of the current legislation on budget stability for the case of the Spanish regions. Particularly, the paper focuses on its very limited effectiveness for the compliance of the deficit and expenditure rules objectives. Moreover, the application of this legislation has experienced significant failures in dealing with the transitory period, the application of the corrective mechanisms, the lack of higher automatism and the interpretation of some provisions related to budget surplus and nonexpected fiscal revenues. The possible reform of such legislation should take into consideration a number of issues, namely, the reform of the European economic governance, the changes in the Spanish territorial financing system and the complete revision (if not elimination) of the extraordinary financial funds.

Education is a key element for territorial development. In turn, the territorial dimension influences opportunities. This paper analyses the relevance of the socioeconomic context in Galicia, beyond the family unit. It raises two main question: the relationship between educational aspirations and the academic and socioeconomic profile of the students, and how the territorial variable affects this relationship, through intra and inter educational community analysis. The methodology combines descriptive analysis based on the ANOVA test, with the estimation of an ordinal logistic regression model. The results suggest higher opportunities and training level in the larger areas. In addition, it is found that educational expectations depend on performance and socio-economic index.

espanolEste trabajo investiga el impacto de las comunidades de inmigrantes (redes sociales) y de las relaciones comerciales historicas (redes de negocios) sobre la decision de localizacion de los inmigrantes en una determinada provincia de Italia, Portugal o Espana. Se analiza la dependencia espacial que puede afectar a esta decision contrastando, primero, si existen efectos spillover de la inmigracion en el resto de provincias y, a continuacion, si hay un efecto asociado a la presencia de estas redes en las provincias vecinas. Los resultados muestran que las redes sociales actuan como factor de atraccion, pero su efecto positivo se atenua cuando hay provincias adyacentes con comunidades de inmigrantes del mismo pais grandes. En el caso de las redes de negocios, las provincias contiguas con lazos comerciales historicos con el pais de origen del inmigrante compiten como destinos alternativos. Asi, el impacto de la inmigracion se desborda al resto de provincias en el pais de destino, y requerira de la coordinacion de las politicas de migracion locales y nacionales para que sean efectivas. EnglishThis paper investigates the effect of co-national immigrant´s communities (social networks) and historical international trade relationships (business networks) on the decision of migrants to locate in a particular province within Italy, Portugal and Spain. We study whether spatial dependence also determines the immigration decision by testing for migration spillover effects across provinces in the destination country and by accounting for the effects of social and business networks in contiguous provinces. We find that social networks enhance immigration of co-nationals, a positive effect that is moderated if neighbor provinces have large co-nationals´ communities. For the case of business networks, neighbor provinces having commercial linkages with the immigrants’ origin country compete as alternative destinations. Thus, the impact of immigration spreads over alternative destinations in the host country, so the coordination of local and national migration policies is required to be fully effective.

Public authorities have played a key role in the tourism competitiveness considering that this agent has the obligation to provide different infrastructures and to guarantee distinct services for both the tourist and the tourist destination itself. The public administrations of the territories in which tourism has an important weight for the economy of Spain have brought to light certain financing problems. Given this fact, the implementation of specific fiscal instruments which tax this activity and that fall to the agents participating in the sector may contribute to obtain the necessary funding to deal with different public policies.

espanolA medida que la Union Europea ingresa en la proxima decada, sus lideres aparentemente luchan por mas integracion futura en lugar de menos, a pesar del reciente reves del Brexit y el surgimiento de los partidos populistas anti-UE. En su estado de la Union en 2018, Jean Claude Junker hizo hincapie en la "solidaridad europea". Una politica clave de "expresion de solidaridad" seria la Politica de Cohesion y los Fondos Estructurales, que son "el unico mecanismo redistributivo real y significativo en la UE..." (Fratesi 2017). A pesar de las opiniones de la elite, sorprendentemente sabemos poco sobre lo que piensan los ciudadanos de la UE sobre la logica detras de la Politica de Cohesion, de la redistribucion economica dentro de la UE. Como parte del proyecto PERCEIVE Horizon2020, llevamos a cabo una encuesta unica para investigar como se sienten los ciudadanos acerca de la integracion economica dentro de la Union, entrevistando a 17.200 ciudadanos. En este documento, mostramos como medimos el apoyo a la politica, los resultados y una serie de elementos relacionados. Nuestro analisis muestra la variacion en el apoyo de los ciudadanos a la politica de cohesion de la UE entre paises, como varia el apoyo entre los grupos demograficos, asi como la medida en la que el apoyo se correlaciona con factores utilitarios e ideologicos. Se discuten las implicaciones para futuros desarrollos de esta politica. EnglishAs the European Union enters into the next decade, its leaders seemingly strive towards more future integration rather than less, despite the recent setback of Brexit and the rise of anti-EU populist parties. In his state of the Union in 2018, Jean Claude Junker emphasized s ‘European solidarity’. One key policy ‘expression of solidary’ would be Cohesion Policy and the Structural Funds, which are “the only real, significant redistributive mechanism in the EU…” (Fratesi 2017). . Despite elite commentary, we know surprisingly little about what EU citizens think of the rationale behind the policy of Cohesion – e.g. economic redistribution within the EU. As part of the PERCEIVE Horizon2020 project, we launched a unique survey to investigate how citizens feel about economic integration within the Union, where 17,200 citizens were interviewed. In this paper, we show how we measure support for the policy, the results as well as a host of correlates. Our analysis shows the variation in citizens’ support for EU Cohesion policy between countries, how support varies between demographic groups, as well as the extent to which support is correlated with utilitarian and ideational factors as well as cue taking. Implications for future developments of this policy are discussed.
