Regional flows of domestic tourism in Spain = Flujos regionales del turismo doméstico en España

The paper analyses the regional flows of domestic tourism that took place in Spain in year 2000, contributing to the state of knowledge on tourism required by authorities and private firms when faced with decision making, for example, for regional infrastructure planning. Although tourism is one of the main income-generating economic activities in Spain, domestic tourism has received little attention in the literature compared to inbound tourism. The paper uses among others, gravitational model tools and concentration indices, to analyse regional concentration of both domestic demand and supply; tourism flows among regions, and the causes that may explain the observed flows and attractiveness between regions. Among the most remarkable results are the high regional concentration of demand and supply, and the role of population and regional income as explanatory variables. Also remarkable are the attractiveness of own region and neighbour ones, and that domestic tourism may be acting as a regional income redistributing activity

El comportamiento innovador de la empresa industrial. Un modelo de análisis a partir de la encuesta del INE

Los objetivos de la tesis son en primer lugar, el análisis del alcance de los datos disponibles y su grado de validez para proporcionar una visión de la realidad del comportamiento innovador de las empresas españolas. En segundo lugar la definición de un modelo de análisis que pueda ser de interés para la sistematización de los estudios y la posible definición de política de apoyo a la I+D. Finalmente evaluar el potencial que tiene el tratamiento regionalizado de los datos de la encuesta de innovación a partir del estudio del caso de Cataluña y su comparación con los resultados agregados no regionales.
