Drivers of Innovation and Development of Top Performing Agribusinesses in China
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Zhu, Kunyan
The paper identifies and prioritizes the drivers of innovation and development of agribusinesses in China. By applying systemic and logical approaches, as well as the decomposition analysis method, the author classified innovation drivers in the agribusiness sector and projects implementing various digital tools in agriculture. Statistical and other calculations were used to estimate innovation growth rates. The research findings can be applied by: central and local governments to develop programs for recombining innovation opportunities, as well as training programs for farmers.
European Workers' Health and Well-Being: Do gender Gaps Persist Between 2010 and 2015?
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Merino Llorente, María Cruz; Somarriba Arechavala, Noelia; García Prieto, Carmen
After the 2008 crisis, gender gaps in workers' health and well-being have persisted in different EU countries. Using 2010 and 2015 data from the European Working Conditions Survey, this paper estimates synthetic indicators by gender, considering workers' health status as well as environmental, organisational and psychosocial factors at work, by means of the P2 distance measure. The study attempts to answer questions such as which countries evidenced the largest and smallest gender gaps in both years and where these gaps widened or narrowed in addition to what mechanisms support these results. Policies aimed at preventing and addressing occupational risks -in particular, psychosocial risks- would therefore be desirable to reduce these gaps.
The Role of the State in the 2030 Agenda: An Economic Policy Approach
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Cruz Prego, Fernando de la
The 2030 Agenda implicitly establishes a series of economic policies that give the State a prominent role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper delves into some of the key elements of the Agenda from an economic policy perspective. Specifically, it focuses on three elements: i) the compatibility/incompatibility relationships between the SDGs; ii) the instruments necessary to maximize the possibilities of achieving them; and iii) the key role of public intervention. The results show that it is still difficult to establish multidimensional strategies that enhance the comprehensiveness of the SDGs, that the State must play a key role in the productive field, in addition to the social and environmental spheres, and that it must pursue expansionary monetary and fiscal policies to set a proper economic landscape, as well as commercial and labor policies that foster redistributive efforts and environmental sustainability, in order to maximize SDGs accomplishments.
An International Empirical Study on the Fiscal Surplus from the Perspective of Sectoral Balances: Questioning the Current Fiscal Rules
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Garzón Espinosa, Eduardo; Medialdea García, Bibiana; Cruz Hidalgo, Esteban; Sánchez Mato, Carlos
The simultaneous recording of public surplus with current account deficit in a national economy could be related to strong private leverage that usually ends in financial crisis, what would make the public surplus unsustainable. The objective of this work is to check the extent to which this claim is bolstered by empirical support. The results reveal that, in effect, the concurrence of public surpluses and current account deficits is associated with private leverage processes and financial crises. These outcomes question the design of the current fiscal rules since they don’t pay attention to the current account balance.
Strategies and values towards co-responsibility in care in european countries
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Martínez Tola, Elena; Cal Barredo, María Luz de la
Work-life balance policies are one of the most influential factors in the equal sharing of care between women and men. However, for far-reaching changes to take place in the gender-based division of work in societies, a new framework of social values must accompany those policies, so that care tasks cease to be associated with families and with women. The goal of this study is twofold. First, to establish relationships between work-life models and gender equality in the labor market. Second, to link worklife balance models in European countries with predominant social values in regard to gender equality in care and employment. The sources of information used are previous studies on work-life balance plus data from the OECD, Eurostat and the European Values Study. The main conclusion is that in some countries is there great coherence between work-life models and values held concerning gender equality. These are the countries with advanced models (the Nordics) and some countries with traditional models (part of those that were socialist). In other countries, despite the existence of values favorable to gender equality, traditional worklife models persist. In many cases, part-time employment among women guarantees care management.
"Empty Plates": Impacts of Food Prices, Inequality and Trade on Malnutrition
(Universidad de Huelva, 2023) Bayraktar Sağlam, Bahar
This paper studies the complex link between nutritional status and income by using panel data from 150 countries over the period 1960–2018 and employing a panel VAR approach under system GMM estimates. The causal link between nutrition intake and income may change from one income group to another due to different effects of similar factors. While hikes in food prices, unfair distributions of income and rising international trade flows lower nutrition intake in lower middle-income countries, the same factors lead to higher body weights in upper middle-income and high-income OECD countries. Therefore, Engel Curve and Efficiency Wage Hypotheses fail for a group of countries.
