Student graduation: to what extent does university expenditure matter?

Human capital is one of the most important channels via which universities positively affect regional development. This paper analyzes the relationship between university characteristics and graduation rates, and the role of regional characteristics in this process. We assemble a dataset for the entire public university system in Spain over the last decade. Observing the same university over several years helps us address the problem of unobserved heterogeneity. The main findings that can be drawn from our results are that university features, such as expenditure, student-teacher ratio and financial-aid to students are important in accounting for graduation rates. Likewise, regional characteristics such as labour market conditions appear to matter when generating graduate students.Universities, graduation, human capital, regional economy

Do universities affect firms’ location decisions? Evidence from Spain

Human capital, scientific research, and technology are the three chief mechanisms promoting knowledge spillovers from universities to firms. Based on a study of the impact of Spain’s 1983 University Reform Act (LRU), which opened the door to the foundation of new universities and faculties, this paper examines whether university (or faculty) location affects the creation of new firms within a given province. We conclude that the foundation of science and social science faculties has had a marked impact on the creation of firms.universities, firm location, spillovers, poisson regression

Universities and regional economic growth in Spanish regions

This paper examines the main contributions of universities to the economic growth of Spanish regions. It calculates the separate effects of the different university functions on the regional economy, namely the creation of human capital, research and technology transfer. It includes a panel data set with the key variables of university activities and their effects on the economy at provincial level. The econometric estimations are based on information for all 47 public universities and include 34 Spanish provinces. The empirical results suggest that the growth of regional GVA is positively correlated to both the human capital created by universities and the stock of university patentsregional economic development, universities, higher education, human capital, research, technology development

Bargaining set with endogenous leaders: A convergence result

We provide a notion of bargaining set for finite economies where the proponents of objections (leaders) are endogenous. We show its convergence to the set of Walrasian allocations when the economy is replicated.Junta de Castilla y León | Ref. SA072U16Agencia Estatal de Investigación | Ref.

Some equivalence results for a bargaining set in finite economies

We present a bargaining set for finite economies using Aubin’s (1979) veto and show its coincidence with the set of Walrasian allocations, providing a discrete approach to the characterization of competitive equilibria obtained by Mas-Colell (1989) for continuum economies. We also study how the restriction on the formation of coalitions affects the bargaining set. In the last part of the work, using our equivalence result along with some known characterizations of Walrasian allocations, we state additional interpretations of the bargaining set.Junta de Castilla y León | Ref.

On restricted bargaining sets

In this paper we analyze the behavior of bargaining sets in continuum economies when there are restrictions on the formation of coalitions. We provide several characterizations of Vind’s (J Math Econ 21:89–97, 1992) bargaining set in terms of its restricted versions, where not all the coalitions are formed. Moreover, we show that these equivalences do not hold for Mas-Colell’s (J Math Econ 18:129–139, 1989) bargaining set. These findings highlight the different nature of both notions of bargaining sets. Finally, we illustrate the impossibility of extrapolating our results to a more general setting.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad | Ref.

El trabajo por objetivos con los diagnosticados de psicosis. Un enfoque basado en las necesidades reconocidas por el paciente

Partimos de la definición de la terapia como el resultado del proceso que hace el paciente en su relación con el terapeuta. La técnica de trabajo por objetivos permite la integración de diferentes teorías y técnicas: trabaja sobre las necesidades reconocidas por el paciente, considera que son sus capacidades las que hacen posible su evolución, respeta su ritmo y supone una guía para la terapia. Definimos las características que debe tener un objetivo y consideramos las posibles dificultades a las que nos podemos enfrentar. Analizamos las peculiaridades de la comunicación con el paciente diagnosticado de psicosis. Especificamos el trabajo sobre el delirio y el sentido de concretar el objetivo en tareas, así como las características que éstas deben tener. Por último, abordamos el tema del incumplimiento y posibles estrategias ante la interrupción del tratamiento.We left from the definition of the therapy like the result of the process that the patient in his relation with the therapist does. The technique of work by objectives allows to the integration of different theories and techniques; it works on the necessities recognized by the patient, . it considers that they are its capacities those that make their evolution possible, it respects its rate and it supposes a guide for the therapy. We defined the characteristics that must have an objective and we considered the possible difficulties which we can be faced. We analyzed the peculiarities of the communication with the diagnosed patient of psychosis. We specified the work on the delirium and the sense to make specific the objective in tasks, as well as the characteristics that these must have. Finally, we approached the subject of the breach and possible strategies befote the interruption of the treatment
