Prensa La competitividad de la economía española. El antes y el después de la crisis (V). Las mejoras de la competitividad vía precios

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.

Prensa Competitiveness of the Spanish Economy. Before and After the Crisis (V). Improvements in Competitiveness through Prices 

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.

Prensa The ‘Umbrella Revolution’ and Civil Disobedience in China 

News agency dispatch from Thursday 11 December, 2014: ‘Hong Kong police begun clearing today, after more than two months of occupation, the Admiralty site, the central district of the city, where thousands of people camped beside the seat of the local government demanding true democracy in the former colony.’ A couple of things about the so-called ‘Umbrella Revolution’ – the students demanding democracy and universal suffrage in Hong Kong protected themselves from tear gas fired by the police with umbrellas: hence the name – are worth noting: first, the actions of the People's Republic of China with regard to domestic policy; second, a ‘Manual of disobedience’ that could have consequences in the People's Republic of China. First things first. 

Prensa 2015, A Global Economy in Transition

The growth patterns of the global economy after the crisis begin to differ substantially from those we envisaged back in 2009 and which continued during the Great Recession. At that time, we witnessed a decoupling between the damaged developed economies and the thriving emerging economies led by the BRICs, as well as the asymmetric effects caused by a crisis of balance between providers and recipients of capital. At the core of the financial crisis lay an accumulation of unprecedented monetary reserves in the emerging countries as a result of rocketing exports triggered by three decades of continuous gains in productivity and increased exports of raw materials.

Prensa State of the Russian Nation

On 4 December, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the citizens of his country in his traditional speech on the state of the nation. This annual address, which can be divided into three parts – Economy, Foreign and Defence Policy – is intended primarily for the Russian people and describes the medium-term strategy of the Kremlin. According to the Russian President, the next four or five years are going to be very difficult and critical for Russia. Given the popular belief that the Russians are a nation of survivors who thrive in difficult situations and never give up, Putin proclaimed that they must face the challenges and win and, presenting himself as the only man capable of ensuring the stability of country, proposed 'not waste a good crisis like this one.'
