/06.03.15/.- FAES Foundation has published today the analysis ‘Fiscal Balances and Regional Funding’, in which the tenured lecturer of Public Finance, University of Oviedo, Santiago Álvarez García, addresses the need to separate clearly both issues and concludes that fiscal balances should not contaminate the reform process of the regional funding model.
Fiscal balances measure the difference between taxes paid by taxpayers living in a given territory and the improvements arising from public spending on that same territory. Its calculation raises important methodological problems, since different criteria may be used when allocating tax revenues and government expenditure to each territory and, depending on the chosen approach, results may vary significantly.
/05.03.15/.- FAES foundation has published today an analysis by José Ruiz Vicioso, MA in the History of Political Thought by the University of Exeter, on the uncertain electoral scenario of the UK with conservatives and labours tied in the polls, and an underlying concern on the effectiveness of the system to produce stable majorities.
Unless an unexpected change of trend occurs during the election campaign, it seems that, once again, neither conservatives nor Labour will have a sufficient majority in the next British Parliament. The two major parties are still tied in the polls (around 35% of the vote each) and neither of them has managed to stand out above the other in recent months. Typically, and given the characteristics of the British electoral system, the winning party should have a double-digit lead over the second in order to have the necessary majority.
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.
