/04.03.15/.- FAES Foundation publishes a series of economic analysis documents devoted to the study of competitiveness, the factors on which it depends and the policies to promote it, by Professor of Economy at CEU San Pablo University Ana Cristina Mingorance Arnáiz.Documents answer questions like: Is the Spanish economy a competitive economy?; has it managed to improve its competitiveness as a result of the crisis?; if so, what are the factors that have helped improve competitiveness? and what can institutions and public agencies do to make Spain an increasingly competitive country?OTROSRead them here:- Déficit exterior y cuota de mercado - La productividad aparente del trabajo como fuente de competitividad- ¿Es posible el crecimiento sostenible de la competitividad?...
Hasta ahora hemos visto como la inadecuada inversión en capital productivo, el retraso tecnológico y los limitados cambios organizativos que han caracterizado a la economía española han marcado el retraso de su productividad y sus pérdidas de competitividad. Además, una estructura productiva basada en sectores intensivos en mano de obra, sumado a la diversidad contractual que existe en nuestro país y a la regulación del mercado laboral, excesivamente protectora para los trabajadores indefinidos, han empujado a las empresas a optar por el empleo temporal, cuyos costes de despido son, para el empresario, mucho más reducidos.

So far, we have seen how inadequate investment in productive capital, technological backwardness and the limited organizational changes that have characterized the Spanish economy have marked its lag in productivity and its losses in competitiveness. In addition, a productive structure based on labour-intensive sectors, coupled with the diversity of employment contracts in our country and labour market regulations, too overprotective of permanent workers, have pushed companies to choose temporary employment, the redundancy costs of which are, for the employer, much lower.
The UMP has suffered a significant electoral setback these last two weekends, especially Nicolas Sarkozy, with new polls which anticipate no signs of improvement for him in future ballots. Last November, Pierre Moscovici joined the new European Commission, which led to the announcement of by-elections in the 4th constituency of the Doubs département (Franche-Comté) on February 1st and 8th, the first held in France since the Islamist attacks last January in Paris, and also the first since Sarkozy returned to the presidency of his party. Both circumstances have made this by-election a matter of national relevance.
Europe is in the throes of two simultaneous crises: on the one hand, it is suffering from a political crisis, a crisis of leadership, one that has led to constitutional failure; on the other, it is suffering from a loss of identity, a phenomenon that results in cultural relativism. Marcello Pera, Speaker of the Italian Senate and Professor of Philosophy of Science at the University of Pisa, delivered a conference entitled “Strength of Identity” during the course of the FAES Campus 2005, a paper which the FAES Foundation is now publishing. Also known as the co-author of the book Senza Radici (“Without Roots”) alongside Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), Professor Pera urges European culture to proudly recall and reaffirm its origins and its universal democratic principles: freedom, equality and tolerance. In this respect, Europe must recognise the intrinsic value of a civilisation, Western civilisation, that has given the world so many universal ideas. “Europe must be aware of the moral superiority of a series of values that have prevailed over centuries and that have produced beneficial results wherever they have become established”.
