The Barcelonnettes: an example of network-entrepreneurs in XIX century Mexico. An explanation based on a theory of bounded rational choice with social embeddedness

A theory of network-entrepreneurs or "spin-off system" is presented in this paper for the creation of firms based on the community’s social governance. It is argued that firm’s capacity for accumulation depends on the presence of employees belonging to the same social/ethnic group with expectations of "inheriting" the firm and becoming entrepreneurs once they have been selected for their merits and loyalty towards their patrons. Such accumulation is possible because of the credibility of the patrons’ promises of supporting newcomers due to high social cohesion and specific social norms prevailing in the community. This theory is exemplified through the case of the Barcelonnettes, a group of immigrants from the Alps in the South of France (Provence) who came to Mexico in the XIX Century.

Why did London become the main money market? Monetary Policy, Arbitrage and European Money Market Integration in 18th century

How did the leading capital market start to attract international bullion? Why did London become the main money market? Monetary regulations, including the charges for minting money and the restrictions on bullion exchange, have played the key role in defining the direction of the flow of international bullion. Countries that abolished minting charges and permitted the free movement of bullion were able to attract international bullion, and countries that applied minting taxes suffered an outflow of bullion. In these cases monetary authorities tried to limit bullion movement through prohibitions on domestic bullion exchange at a free price, and tariffs and quantitative restrictions on bullion exports. The paper illustrates the logic of international monetary flow in the 18th century, using empirical evidence for England, France and Spain. The first section defines and measures monetary policy, and the second section introduces minting charges into the arbitrage equation in order to explain the logic of bullion flow between the pairs of nations England-France, England-Spain and France-Spain. The conclusion emphasises the importance of monetary policy in the creation of leading money markets.

Between specialization and globalization. The marketing of agrarian products and its environmental impacts seen from a historical perspective: the province of Barcelona in the mid-nineteenth century

Ecological economics has five good reasons to consider that economic globalisation, spurred by commercial and financial fluxes, to be one of the main driving forces responsible for causing environmental degradation to our planet. The first, is the energy consumption and the socio-environmental impacts which long-distance haulage entails. The second, is the ever-increasing flow of goods to far-away destinations which renders their recycling practically impossible. This is particularly significant, because it prevents the metabolic lock of the nutrients present in food and other agrarian products from taking place. The third, is that the high degree of specialization attained in agriculture, forestry, cattle, mining and industry in each region, generates deleterious effects not only on the eco-landscape structure of the uses of the soil, but on the capability to provide habitat and environmental functions to maintain biodiversity as well

Television and the construction of identity: Barcelona, Olympic host

This document, originally published as part of the book The Keys of success: the social, sporting, economic and communications impact of Barcelona’92, comes from a larger study that looked at all aspects of television in the Olympics and can be found in its original version, in Miquel de Moragas Spà, Nancy K. Rivenburgh and James F. Larson (1996). Television in the Olympics. London: John Libbey.

“Un fol anar don es en fol venguz”: idas y venidas del desconocido Engles

Investigación elaborada a partir de una estancia en la Facoltà di Lettere e filosofia de la Università degli Studi dell'Aquila entre los meses de octubre del 2006 y marzo del 2007. Engles es uno de los trovadores occitanos de los siglos XII y XIII más misteriosos i desconocidos. Ante la falta de datos históricos o documentales, la única vía que queda es intentar descubrir las posibilidades comunicativas de los textos literarios que mencionan a Engles cuando son leídos en conjunto, como parte de un mismo grupo temático en torno a este personaje enigmático. De hecho, haciendo una lectura de este tipo, resulta evidente que parte de la información que podemos deducir hoy en día de Engles pudo haber sido, en cierto modo, alterada; o, como mínimo, leída erróneamente a lo largo del tiempo. Por ello resultan contradictorias las conclusiones que se derivan de la información que existe de él. Parte del problema es que a la falta de información archivística se suma la escasez del corpus de textos relacionados con Engles; y, sin embargo, a pesar de lo escaso en números, resulta de gran interés informativo. Partiendo del estudio de algunas de estas menciones, el artículo intenta establecer un diálogo coherente entre todos los textos, buscando dilucidar quién fue el misterioso Engles.

The identity type weak factorisation system

We show that the classifying category C(T)of a dependent type theory T with axioms for identity types admits a nontrivial weak factorisation system. After characterising this weak factorisation system explicitly, we relate it to the homotopy theory of groupoids.
