We analyse natural resource use dynamics in the Mexican economy during the last three decades. Despite low and uneven economic growth, the extraction and use of materials in the Mexican economy has continuously increased during the last 30 years. In this period, population growth rather than economic growth was the main driving force for biophysical growth. In addition, fundamental changes have taken place in the primary sectors, in manufacturing, and in household consumption and these are reflected in an increasing emphasis on the use of fossil fuels and construction materials. Mexico’s economy has been strongly influenced by international trade since the country commenced competing in international markets. In the 1970s, Mexico mainly exported primary resources. This pattern has changed and manufactured goods now have a much greater importance due to a boom in assembling industries. In contrast with other Latin American countries, Mexico has achieved a diversification of production, moving towards technology-intensive products and a better mix in its export portfolio. However, crude oil exports still represent the single most important export good. Mexico’s material consumption is still well below the OECD average but is growing fast and the current resource use patterns may well present serious social and environmental problems to the medium and long term sustainability of Mexico’s economy and community. Information on natural resource use and resource productivity could provide valuable guidance for economic policy planning in Mexico.

This text was presented at the Symposium “Olympic Arts and Culture Festivals: Recent Experiences and Future Design”, held in Chicago on the 23-24 June 2008. It provides with an analysis of good and bad points of the Cultural Olympiad of Barcelona’92 in order to discover, from that past experience, any lessons for future Cultural Olympiads and Olympic Movement cultural policy in general, as well as to rethink, in a critical way, Catalan cultural policies.

Using theory and empirical data from social psychology to measure for cultural differences between countries, we study the effect of individualism as defined by Hofstede (1980) and egalitarianism as defined by Schwartz (1994, 1999, 2004) on earnings management. We find a significant influence of both cultural measures. In line with Licht et al. (2004), who argue that individualistic societies may be less susceptible to corruption, we find that countries scoring high on individualism tend to have lower levels of earnings management. In addition, we find that egalitarianism, defined as a society's cultural orientation with respect to intolerance for abuses of market and political power, is negatively related with earnings management. Our results are robust to different specifications and controls. The main message of this paper is that besides formal institutions, cultural differences are relevant to explain earnings management behaviour. We think that our work adds to the understanding of the importance of cultural values in managerial behaviour across countries contributing to the literature on earnings management and law and institutions.

Projecte de recerca elaborat a partir d’una estada a la Universitat de Toronto, Canadà, des d’octubre del 2006 a febrer del 2007. El projecte Barchito és un projecte Interrnacional que va involucrar tres universitats: La Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, la Universitat de Toronto (Canadà) i la Universitat de Roosevelt (USA). El seu objectiu principal era posar en contacte estudiants de les tres universitats (de tres cursos diferents) per discutir al voltant de temes com ara l'ensenyament/aprenentatge i elements culturals de cada país. Aquest projecte presenta la natura de l'experiència des de la visió dels participants: alumnat i professorat. Superant diferències inicials de llengua, els participants van aprendre d'altra cultura, van aprendre sobre altres maneres d'ensenyar i van aprendre, en definitiva, sobre ells mateixos. L'eina d'aprenentatge col.laboratiu els va ajudar a sobrepassar el context immediat, emprant per això, l'eina tecnològica anomenada: Knowledge Forum.

Estudi realitzat a partir d’una estada a la Université René Descarte - Sorbonne Paric V, França, des d’agost fins desembre del 2006. Les diferents activitats culturals de caràcter temporal s’utilitzen, cada cop més, com una eina clau en la promoció turística, econòmica o social de les ciutats. Sovint, aquests ús es fa sense tenir uns objectius clars ni unes eines d’avaluació reals dels resultats obtinguts, fet que condiciona l’efectivitat de les polítiques. S’ha analitzat quins tipus de polítiques s’utilitzen a nivell europeu i valorar-ne la seva efectivitat. Concretament, s’ha establert contacte amb una cinquantena d’establiments culturals –alguns d’ells dels més importants del món -, que han mostrat la seva experiència en el camp. Així mateix s’ha pogut parlar amb responsables de grans esdeveniments culturals. Tot i l’augment de la preocupació per part dels diferents equipaments culturals per la imatge que projecten, aquest fet no es tradueix en canvis destacables en les seves polítiques. Actualment, únicament els grans museus nacionals disposen dels instruments financers i de personal necessaris per portar a terme actuacions que influeixin en la imatge que projecten. Tot i així hi ha una preocupació generalitzada del conjunt d’equipaments per la seva imatge, preocupació que es tradueix en algunes iniciatives innovadores, portades a terme amb pocs mitjans, però amb uns resultats molt satisfactoris.

This contribution aims at exploring the significance of the new generation of UNESCO conventions for the recognition of higher education qualifications. It discusses three possible scenarios and links them to the empirical findings of a study that compares the enabling conditions of the first generation of recognition conventions established in the 1970s and 1980s with the ones establishing the second generation today. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the paper argues that the changes illustrate a more general shift in the architecture of the global order and highlights a new role of UNESCO.

Projecte de recerca elaborat a partir d’una estada a la Stanford University entre abril i juliol del 2007. L’anàlisi de les dinàmiques socials i culturals establertes en els espais de poder de les comunitats locals sicilianes, les acròpolis, és el marc de treball que en l’actualitat s’està desenvolupant per a una futura tesi doctoral. Un estudi que intenta ometre les tradicionals lectures colonials i la perspectiva de l’hel•lenització que habitualment envolten els estudis centrats en les poblacions locals que entren en contacte amb les colònies gregues. En aquest cas, partint de la materialització del discurs de l’elit es vol analitzar com les comunitats sicilianes actuen en una complexa situació d’encontre cultural que caracteritzarà Sicília al llarg de quasi tot el Ir. M. a.C.

In this paper we attempt an empirical application of the multi-region input-output (MRIO) method in order to enumerate the pollution content of interregional trade flows between five Mid-West regions/states in the US –Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin – and the rest of the US. This allows us to analyse some very important issues in terms of the nature and significance of interregional environmental spillovers within the US Mid-West and the existence of pollution ‘trade balances’ between states. Our results raise questions in terms of the extent to which authorities at State level can control local emissions where they are limited in the way some emissions can be controlled, particularly with respect to changes in demand elsewhere in the Mid-West and US. This implies a need for policy co-ordination between national and state level authorities in the US to meet emissions reductions targets. The existence of an environmental trade balances between states also raises issues in terms of net losses/gains in terms of pollutants as a result of interregional trade within the US and whether, if certain activities can be carried out using less polluting technology in one region relative to others, it is better for the US as a whole if this type of relationship exists.
