Population Size and Civil Conflict Risk: Is There A Causal Link?

[spa] La estimación del impacto del tamaño de la populación sobre la probabilidad de conflicto civil se complica por el sesgo de endogeneidad y las variables omitidas. Este artículo trata el problema de causalidad utilizando métodos de variables instrumentales en un panel de 37 países del África Sub-sahariana en el período 1981-2004. Encontramos que un aumento de la población en un 1% aumenta la probabilidad de conflicto civil por un 5.2%.

The Swiss reform of the allocation of tasks : The conventions-programs as a new partnership model for vertical cooperation ?

This research examines the impacts of the Swiss reform of the allocation of tasks which was accepted in 2004 and implemented in 2008 to "re-assign" the responsibilities between the federal government and the cantons. The public tasks were redistributed, according to the leading and fundamental principle of subsidiarity. Seven tasks came under exclusive federal responsibility; ten came under the control of the cantons; and twenty-two "common tasks" were allocated to both the Confederation and the cantons. For these common tasks it wasn't possible to separate the management and the implementation. In order to deal with nineteen of them, the reform introduced the conventions-programs (CPs), which are public law contracts signed by the Confederation with each canton. These CPs are generally valid for periods of four years (2008-11, 2012-15 and 2016-19, respectively). The third period is currently being prepared. By using the principal-agent theory I examine how contracts can improve political relations between a principal (Confederation) and an agent (canton). I also provide a first qualitative analysis by examining the impacts of these contracts on the vertical cooperation and on the implication of different actors by focusing my study on five CPs - protection of cultural heritage and conservation of historic monuments, encouragement of the integration of foreigners, economic development, protection against noise and protection of the nature and landscape - applied in five cantons, which represents twenty-five cases studies.

Cooperation versus competition effects on information sharing and use in group decision making

Information processing in groups has long been seen as a cooperative process. In contrast with this assumption, group members were rarely found to behave cooperatively: They withhold unshared information and stick to initial incorrect decisions. In the present article, we examined how group members' cooperative and competitivemotives impact on group information processing and propose that information sharing and use in groups could be seen as strategic behavior. We reviewed the latest developments in the literature investigating different forms of strategic information processing and their underlying mechanisms. This review suggests that explicit cooperative goals are needed for effective group decision-making.

Competència autonòmica, competència entre ordenaments jurídics i codificació del dret civil català: un balanç

En la primera part del treball, l"autora explica el per què de la pluralitat legislativa en matèria civil a l"Estat espanyol i en descriu els avantatges i alguns dels problemes actuals en l"exercici de la competència. La segona part es dedica íntegrament a explicar la codificació civil catalana, amb una mirada crítica al procés i als continguts. La conclusió és favorable a què se"n faci la continuació, però també tenint en compte el dret privat europeu. En la primera parte del trabajo, la autora explica el por qué de la pluralidad legislativa en materia civil en el Estado español y describe las ventajas y algunos de los problemas que actualmente plantea el ejercicio de la competencia. La segunda parte se dedica íntegramente a explicar la codificación civil catalana, con una mirada crítica al proceso y a los contenidos. La conclusión es favorable a su continuación, pero teniendo en cuenta también el derecho privado europeo. In the first part of this paper, the author explains the role of the different private law systems which coexist within Spain and outlines the advantages and some of the problems currently posed by its development. The second part looks at the contents and process of making a Catalan Civil Code. The conclusion is favourable to its continuation, but alsoo taking into account the European private law.

Estanislao Reynals i Rabassa: la reacció catalana al Projecte de Codi Civil de 1851. La qüestió de la llibertat de testar

En ple procés de codificació del dret civil de Catalunya, pot semblar quelcom romàntic analitzar com es visqué al Principat un altre moviment co- dificador: el del segle XIX. És clar que aquest darrer tenia un caràcter que no s"assembla en res a l"actual, tret de la mateixa voluntat de codificar. Es va tractar aleshores d"unificar i sistematitzar el dret civil d"Espanya, en resposta a una tendència generalitzada que s"havia estès a bona part d"Europa. Es tracta, ara, de codificar el dret civil de Catalunya en exercici d"una competència legislativa constitucionalment i estatutàriament reconeguda. Malgrat aquesta diferent significació, o potser per això, sentim un agradable sentimentalisme en mirar enrere. L"objecte del nostre comentari se centra, només, en l"intent de codificació de mitjan segle XIX: en l"anomenat Projecte de Codi civil de 1851. A Catalunya, el dit Projecte va despertar reaccions apassionades, quasi totes desfavorables al text codificat i no tant pel fet de voler codificar el dret civil, sinó pel caire castellanitzant del seu contingut, que negava tota vigència als altres drets territorials. Alhora, l"anàlisi que es proposa es redueix a la regulació projectada de la llegítima. I la resposta que va merèixer des de Catalunya s"esbossà de la mà d"un jurista autoritzat de l"època: Estanislao Reynals i Rabassa. Esdevé un més entre una gran munió de personatges vuitcentistes, tots ells intel·lectuals, que apareixen aquí i allà, en el decurs d"esdeveniments literaris, acadèmics, polítics, etc., i que permeten identificar una reacció prou sentida en contra dels elements revulsius dels trets de la identitat catalana.

Privatization, cooperation and costs of solid waste services in small towns

This paper analyzes the cost implications of privatization and cooperation in the provision of solid waste services for a sample of small municipalities. In conducting this empirical analysis, a survey is first designed and administered to municipalities in the Spanish region of Aragon, and then an estimation of the determinants of service costs is undertaken, considering the possible endogeneity of delivery choices. Our findings indicate that cooperation is more effective than privatization in saving costs. Both production forms can enable small municipalities to cut costs by exploiting scale economies. However, the fact that inter-municipal cooperation involves lower transaction costs and is less likely to be affected by competition problems would seem to account for the fact that it is a more effective way of reducing costs.

Co-opetition: Coexistence of cooperation and competition in public sector – A case study in one city’s public companies

Business actions do not take place in isolation. Complementary competencies and capabilities are the most important resources in the exponential knowledge growth. These resources are partially accessed via business partners. A company needs partners and the capability to cooperate, but also the awareness of the competitive tension, when operating in the market with multiple actors. The co-opetition research studies the occurrence and the forms of simultaneous cooperation and competition between companies or their units. Public sector’s governmental and municipal organs have been transformed into companies over the past years. Despite of their non-profit nature, public sector and public companies are adopting business doctrines from private sector towards efficient business operations. This case study aims to show, how co-opetition concept can be observed within public sector companies and in their operations with others, how public companies cooperate but also compete with others and why this happens. This thesis also explicates advantages and disadvantages of the co-opetition phenomenon.

Responsabilidade civil do radiologista no diagnóstico do câncer de mama através do exame de mamografia

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a responsabilidade civil por erro médico no que tange, especificamente, à conduta do radiologista no diagnóstico do câncer através do exame mamográfico. Foram analisadas, para exemplificar, decisões judiciais com o objetivo de mostrar o entendimento dos tribunais nacionais, dentre eles, o Supremo Tribunal Federal, a quem compete revisar, em grau de recurso, as decisões judiciais que afrontam a Constituição Federal, bem como o Superior Tribunal de Justiça, que tem a competência de julgar em grau de recurso as decisões violadoras das leis federais. O material utilizado demonstra a visão dos tribunais acerca do tema objeto desta pesquisa, revelando as consequências do erro do médico radiologista e dos serviços de radiologia no âmbito do direito civil, que possui a indenização monetária como consequência da existência de responsabilidade civil. Ou seja, o dever de indenizar decorre da constatação da existência da responsabilidade civil. Assim, afastada a responsabilidade civil, fica afastado o dever de indenizar. Indenização não se confunde com a responsabilidade civil, esta é fundamento daquela.

A crise europeia: excepcionalidade econômica, gestão autoritária e emergência de formas ativas de resistência civil = The European crisis: economic exceptionality, authoritarian rulings and the emergence of active forms of civil resistance

Thirty years after neo-liberalism hegemony, the states shows its incapacity for driving democratically exceptional situations like global economical crisis. In this context, it seems a particularly interesting issue to exam the popular alternatives that are growing to reject the institutional paralysis. This work take these problems since European perspective, especially this one of Spain, and its scope is justify the new forms of civil disobedience that are growing. They are analyzed not like"paradoxes" of democracy, but like necessary instruments of participative democracy into a really exceptional scenario

Pleiotropy and the low cost of individual traits promote cooperation.

The evolution of cooperation is thought to be promoted by pleiotropy, whereby cooperative traits are coregulated with traits that are important for personal fitness. However, this hypothesis faces a key challenge: what happens if mutation targets a cooperative trait specifically rather than the pleiotropic regulator? Here, we explore this question with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which cooperatively digests complex proteins using elastase. We empirically measure and theoretically model the fate of two mutants-one missing the whole regulatory circuit behind elastase production and the other with only the elastase gene mutated-relative to the wild-type (WT). We first show that, when elastase is needed, neither of the mutants can grow if the WT is absent. And, consistent with previous findings, we show that regulatory gene mutants can grow faster than the WT when there are no pleiotropic costs. However, we find that mutants only lacking elastase production do not outcompete the WT, because the individual cooperative trait has a low cost. We argue that the intrinsic architecture of molecular networks makes pleiotropy an effective way to stabilize cooperative evolution. Although individual cooperative traits experience loss-of-function mutations, these mutations may result in weak benefits, and need not undermine the protection from pleiotropy.
