    Desigualdad de género y convergencia en los países de la UE-28 (2005-2015)
    (Universidad de Huelva, 2019-12-10) González Martínez, María Isabel; López Martínez, María; Martínez Hermosilla, Ginés; Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa
    La igualdad de género beneficia a toda la sociedad. En este trabajo se compara la situación de los países de la Unión Europea en términos de igualdad de género, y se analiza si los países con mayores desigualdades (los orientales) han logrado reducir la brecha con los más avanzados (los nórdicos) en el periodo 2005-2015. Para ello, examinamos σ-convergencia y β-convergencia utilizando datos de panel del Índice de Igualdad de Género para los 28 países de la Unión. Los resultados muestran cierto acercamiento en términos de igualdad de género. Esta convergencia se ve condicionada por las diferencias educativas entre los países. --------------------

    Output growth thresholds for the creation of employment and the reduction of unemployment: a spatial analysis with panel data from the Spanish provinces, 2000–2011
    (Elsevier, ) Buendía Azorín, Jose Daniel; Sánchez de la Vega, María del Mar; Economía Aplicada
    The financial crisis that set in at the end of 2007 and the ensuing years of recession have had devastating effects on the labor markets. This has led us to research into employment thresholds -Verdoorn's law - and unemployment - Okun's law - from the perspective of the Spanish provinces. We use a spatial SUR model which allows us to link the panel data with analysis of spatial dependence in order to obtain efficient and robust results about the stability of the Verdoorn and Okun coefficients. We remove the spatial dependence by using spatial filtering techniques from the semiparametric method of vector decomposition. The results show that thresholds vary over time and the output growth required for a rise in employment is well below the level necessary to reduce the unemployment rate.

    The influence of gender diversity on corporate performance
    (2010) Gallego-Álvarez, Isabel; García-Sánchez, Isabel María; Rodríguez-Domínguez, Luis
    This work focuses on the effect of gender diversity on corporate performance. The current work, an extension of previous studies, focuses on the presence and effect of female stockholders, directors and top managers by analysing their impact on various accounting ratios, market value and technical efficiency. With a view to testing these hypotheses, we selected Spanish corporations that were listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange over the period 2004-2006 as an objective population. Corporate governance information on these companies is available from the CNMV database. Our findings show that companies with higher levels of gender diversity do not obviously outperform other companies with lower levels, in terms of several market and accounting measures. Therefore, gender diversity may not influence corporate performance
