La economía gallega post-COVID

This paper shows the situation of the Galician economy through an analysis of its main magnitudes and variables and the effect of COVID on them

La conectividad portuaria de Galicia y del Norte de Portugal: características esenciales.

The connectivity index reveals the level of accessibility that a country / port has in relation to transport networks. It is measured through the maritime connections it has and is a basic tool to know the levels of trade facilitation and the degrees of global insertion. In the Galician ports, the high level of specialization of the port of Vigo stands out, while the others register much smaller movements. In the case of Portugal, the ports of Sines and Leixoes stand out, as they polarize containerized traffic and the scales of vessels that make up the current global supply chains

Los salarios en Galicia. Una visión a través de las fuentes estadísticas

Actividad económica en Galicia 2020. Una contracción histórica condicionada por la evolución del COVID

After the slowdown in the rate of GDP growth in 2019, the health crisis caused by COVID and the measures subsequently approved to contain its expansion led to a contraction of Galician economic activity of 8.9% - two points lower than the state measure (11%).

Comportamiento de los puertos del Eje Atlántico en el periodo 2019-23: un análisis diferencial

Globalization is modifying traditional paradigms on the articulation of ports with the territory. Port studies focused from functionalist perspectives (in which the units of analysis were the port spaces themselves) have given way to systemic approaches that place ports in a new position, within the chains of physical circulation of goods. Thus, ports are understood as intermediate nodes, within multimodal logistics and transportation networks that facilitated the formation of production-distribution chains at a global level. Nowadays, we see new flows of goods moved under door-to-door parameters and without load breakage, through standard containers that adapt to other modes of transport, and can be deployed and located in different locations in various latitudes and continents. Currently, mobility and connectivity are considered basic elements of modern analyzes in which four characteristics stand out: the fragmentation of production; a new technological, operational and organizational perspective of production; the configuration of a territory of networks and connectivity; and a lower relevance of physical distance
