Quality in work and productivity
Vicente Royuela, Jordi Suriñach. 2009.
Abstract: We inspect the relationship between quality in work
and productivity. Using recent Spanish aggregate data for the period
2001-2006, we find that quality in work is an important factor to explain
productivity levels in sectors and regions. Consequently, quality in work
is not only an objective per se, but it also may be a production factor
able to increase the wealth of regions. In our work we use two alternatives
definitions of quality in work, coming respectively from survey data and
from a social indicators approach. Besides, we employ two different measurements
of labour productivity, in order to test the robustness of our result. We
estimate our model using a simultaneous equation model for our panel of
data, and we find important differences in high tech and low tech sectors.
The former display a positive relationship between quality in work and
productivity, while the latter show a negative relationship.
Modelling quality of life and population growth using simultaneous
equation models. The case of the Barcelona Metropolitan
Area.
Vicente Royuela,
Alessandra Faggian. 2008.
Abstract: In this work we look at changes in the
intra-metropolitan distribution of population. We use the classical
determinants of urban growth to test which ones are more important within a
metropolitan area. These determinants are: amenities and disamenities, which are considered as constituents of
the more global concept of quality of life; the supply-oriented
dynamic approach; and the city network paradigm. In particular we focus our
paper on the role of quality of life variables in urban growth. In this
sense, as we expect a potential endogeneity
between quality of life and urban size (growth), we use a simultaneous
equation model. We also expect a spatial relationship between the
considered variables. Thus, we estimate our simultaneous equation model
empirically using several alternatives, including spatial econometrics. Our
exercise is developed in a local dynamic framework, the Metropolitan Area
of the city of Barcelona (Spain), in the period
1991-2004.
Defining housing market areas
using commuting and migration algorithms.Catalonia
(Spain) as an applied case study.
Vicente Royuela, Miguel Vargas. 2007, 20 pàg. IREA-Working Paper 2007/07
Abstract: In the literature on housing market areas,
different approaches can be found to defining them, for example, using
travel-to-work areas and, more recently, making use of migration data. Here
we propose a simple exercise to shed light on which approach performs
better. Using regional data from Catalonia,
Spain,
we have computed housing market areas with both commuting data and
migration data. In order to decide which procedure shows superior
performance, we have looked at uniformity of prices within areas. The main
finding is that commuting algorithms present more homogeneous areas in
terms of housing prices.
Is the influence of quality of
life on urban growth non-stationary in space? A case study of Barcelona.
Vicente Royuela, Rosina Moreno and Esther Vayá. 2007, 25 pàg.IREA-Working
Paper 2007/03
Abstract: There are several determinants that influence
household location decisions. More concretely, recent economic literature
assigns an increasingly important role to the variables governing quality
of life. Nevertheless, the spatial stationarity
of the parameters is implicitly assumed in most studies. Here we analyse
the role of quality of life in urban economics and test for the spatial stationarity of the relationship between city growth
and quality of life.
Research networks and scientific
production in Economics: The recent spanish
experience.
Juan Carlos Duque. Raúl Ramos, Vicente Royuela. 2007,
10 pàg. IREA-Working Paper 2007/01
Abstract: This paper studies Spanish scientific production
in Economics from 1994 to 2004. It focuses on aspects that have received little
attention in other bibliometric studies, such as
the impact of research and the role of scientific collaborations in the
publications produced by Spanish universities. Our results show that
national research networks have played a fundamental role in the increase
in Spanish scientific production in this discipline.
Economía
Urbana y Calidad de Vida. Una revisión del estado del conocimiento en
España.
Vicente Royuela, Diona Lambiri,
and Bianca Biagi. 2006, 23 pàg.
IREA-Working Paper 2006/06
Abstract: Quality of life is increasingly becoming a
concept researched empirically and theoretically in the field of economics.
In urban economics in particular, this increasing interest stems mainly
from the fact that quality of life affects urban competitiveness and urban
growth: research shows that when households and businesses decide where to
locate, quality of life considerations can play a very important role. The
purpose of the present paper is to examine the way economic literature and
urban economic literature in particular, have adopted quality of life
considerations in the economic thinking. Moreover, it presents the ways
various studies have attempted to capture the multidimensional nature of
the concept, and quantify it for the purposes of empirical research.
Additionally we focus on the state of the art in Spain. Looking at the
experiences in the last years we see very important possibilities of
developing new studies in the field.
