The Autonomous Communities are the institutions responsible for providing education services, health and social services. However, taxes collection is mainly done by the national administration. The current system of financing this multi-level government is not completely satisfactory. For instance, there are large disparities in per capita funding among the 17 regions. Some communities can fund basic services using just 55% of the resources that they are transferred, whereas others need to invest up to 80%. The case of the Valencian Region is the most dramatic, because, despite being in the queue of per capita spending on essential public services, it suffers a structural deficit by insufficient income. This article discusses the causes of this situation and outlines a fair reform of the current system, which also enables correct the anomaly that represents that the Valencian Region being the only region of Spain...

La importancia demostrada por esta actividad se traslada tambien al mercado internacional donde Espana ostenta una posicion de liderazgo tanto en terminos de produccion, como de ventas al exterior. Buena parte de las empresas elaboradoras de vino de nuestro pais se ubican en distritos industriales, o lo que es lo mismo, en entornos geograficos caracterizados por la elevada concentracion de pequenas y medianas empresas cuya organizacion productiva responde a un esquema basado en la especializacion flexible. En anteriores trabajos, se ha podido constatar como las empresas elaboradoras de vino ubicadas en este tipo de enclaves industriales presentan una mayor eficiencia respecto de competidores localizados en otro tipo de entornos.

Las Comunidades Autonomas son las encargadas de proveer los servicios de educacion, sanidad y servicios sociales. La recaudacion de recursos, sin em¬bargo, se realiza fundamentalmente por la administracion central. El actual sistema de financiacion de este gobierno multinivel no acaba de ser satisfactorio. Por ejemplo, entre las comunidades autonomas, algunas pueden financiar los servicios basicos empleando solo el 55% de los recursos que le son transferidos, mientras otras precisan invertir hasta el 80%. El caso de la Comunitat Valenciana es el mas dramatico, pues, a pesar de estar a la cola en gasto por habi¬tante en servicios publicos fundamentales, genera un deficit estructural por la insuficiencia de ingresos. En este articulo se esbozan las causas de esta situacion y se propone una reforma del actual sistema que permita ademas subsanar la anomalia que supone que la Comunitat Valenciana sea la unica region ...

The importance given to this activity has also been transferred to the international market where Spain holds a position of leadership, both in terms of production as in overseas sales. A large number of the wine-producing firms in our country are located in industrial districts, which is to say in geographical areas characterised by a high concentration of small and medium-sized companies whose productive organisation corresponds to a model based on flexible specialisation. In previous papers, it has been possible to verify how wine-producing industries located in industrial areas show greater efficiency in relation to rivals located in other types of environments. The aim of this article is to further research on the specific features of industrial districts which could explain their firms’ increase in efficiency. For the identification and quantification of these determining factors af...

Creative service industries offer services that increase a region's capacity to generate and combine new ideas, resulting in an increased production of innovations which raise productivity. The paper proposes an analytical framework and compares findings in 250 regions in 24 countries of the European Union in 2008. We find that creative service industries increases labour productivity of the regions and their effects are as important for regional productivity as scientific research or highly qualified human capital.
