En este trabajo se realiza un estudio de la evolución del impacto del turismo en la economía asturiana durante el periodo 1998–2008. La metodología empleada consiste en la aplicación del análisis Input-Output a la medición del gasto turístico regional, de manera que permite evaluar los...

Esta investigación ofrece un primer estudio que analiza teórica y empíricamente cómo se ve afectada la productividad de las compañías ferroviarias europeas por el marco regulador en el que desempeñan su actividad. Para ello, hemos estimado un sistema de ecuaciones basado en la dualidad de...

In this paper we explain the decline in cinema attendance in Spain since 1968. We use a cointegration analysis to estimate an individual demand function for cinema, with annual data and in terms of average attendance per inhabitant. We find that cinema is a luxury good and that its demand is...

An original model is put forward in this article to explain and consider the behavior of some of the most important public services in Spain. The cost function approach and the input distance function approach are used to estimate the existence of overcapitalization as a result of rate of return...

In some contexts, firms have to deal with certain elements or factors that affect the production outcome but which are non-market in nature and therefore do not have a price. In this paper we propose a new use of a production economics tool, the input distance function, to empirically measure...

In this study, a theoretical model for the passenger transport demands in Spain is presented. The data is used for the 1980.I-1992.IV quarterly period, and several equations are estimated for the different modes of transport: railway (Talgo), railway (long distance); road and air transport....

The main contribution of this research is to offer a theoretical explicative model and provide empirical evidence to the determinant variables which explain the behaviour of maritime imports and exports for a particular economy such as the Spanish one. Until now, maritime transport demand...

This article analyses the behaviour of the functions of importing and exporting goods by maritime transport in Spain during the period 1994.I–1998.IV. Cointegration techniques are used in the estimations to obtain long-term price and income elasticities. These estimations can be used to assess...
