En la última década, la organización del sistema financiero español ha tenido una convulsión de un alcance inimaginable y puede decirse sin ningún género de dudas que el cambio ha sido histórico. De un sistema en el que el reparto de las instituciones financieras estaba representado por las Cajas de Ahorro y la banca en un 50% por cada grupo, se ha pasado a un escenario en el que las Cajas de Ahorro han desaparecido casi en su totalidad y la banca ha ocupado completamente todo el sistema financiero español. Difícilmente se puede explicar este cambio por factores exclusivamente atribuibles a unas u otras instituciones ya que, en buena lógica, una crisis económica afecta con distinta intensidad a cada una de las empresas y, por lo tanto, hubiese cabido esperar que el mantenimiento de algunas cajas de ahorros ante el embate de la crisis hubiese significado que quedasen algunas en funcionamiento. Pero ¿todas? También hubiera cabido esperar que la crisis hubiera afectado a más bancos, pero ¿tan pocos? ¿Tan bien estaban o sabían más que las demás entidades financieras? En esta comunicación vamos a tratar de analizar el comportamiento del Banco de España en este proceso y ver hasta qué punto sus decisiones o falta de decisiones han contribuido a profundizar en la crisis económica y en el hundimiento de todo el sector de cajas de ahorro españolas.

In April 2012 Argentinean Government nationalized 51% of Repsol shares in YPF. Expropiation of YPF is a new step in a broad list of protectionist and interventionist decisions, such as the nationalization of Aerolíneas Argentinas, nationalization of private pension plans, or the amendments of the Central Bank regulations to make the use of reserves more flexible. Institutions set the rules of the game for citizens and companies, allowing incentives and creating expectations. Nationalization of the above mentioned Argentinean companies has created legal uncertainty bringing a relevant increase in the risk premium as a result. Privatization of YPF and its later nationalization, together with the company shareholder composition, and resulting international disputes will be addressed in this article.

Background: To develop and validate an item bank to measure mobility in older people in primary care and to analyse differential item functioning (DIF) and differential bundle functioning (DBF) by sex. Methods: A pool of 48 mobility items was administered by interview to 593 older people attending primary health care practices. The pool contained four domains based on the International Classification of Functioning: changing and maintaining body position, carrying, lifting and pushing, walking and going up and down stairs. Results: The Late Life Mobility item bank consisted of 35 items, and measured with a reliability of 0.90 or more across the full spectrum of mobility, except at the higher end of better functioning. No evidence was found of non-uniform DIF but uniform DIF was observed, mainly for items in the changing and maintaining body position and carrying, lifting and pushing domains. The walking domain did not display DBF, but the other three domains did, principally the carrying, lifting and pushing items. Conclusions: During the design and validation of an item bank to measure mobility in older people, we found that strength (carrying, lifting and pushing) items formed a secondary dimension that produced DBF. More research is needed to determine how best to include strength items in a mobility measure, or whether it would be more appropriate to design separate measures for each construct.
