To this end we develop a multidimensional indicator to synthesize the most relevant dimensions and indicators around the world at a country level. Our results not only identify the aspects exerting the greatest impact on infant well-being, but also provide a full international comparison. The ranking obtained allows us to compare among countries, thus highlighting differences in the transformation of wealth into infant well-being. Moreover, incorporating gender into the analysis provides a new and relevant perspective.

The estimates take into account the problems of functional form, measurement of the cost and of the demand, choosing sampling scheme, and handling the sample. Considering these alternatives allows us to select a specification of demand under improved conditions and frees us from initial restrictive hypothesis. The results in terms of prediction of demand and consumer surplus estimates are quite dissimilar, stressing the importance of comparing various specifications that encompass a range of possible options.

Research paper thumbnail of On the Size and Determinants of Inter-regional Redistribution in European Countries over the Period 1995-2009

We rely on a standard approach based on the observation and comparison of both primary and disposable household income at regional scale. Once the redistributive effect in each country is quantified, we try to explain the drivers of crosscountry time-series differences. According to our estimates, cross-national standard deviation is significant and much higher than time variation. Secondly, interregional redistribution is strongly and positively related to personal redistribution by means of taxes and social benefits in cash; and is negatively related to both the extent of regional disparities in primary income and to the degree of political and fiscal decentralization.

En conjunto, los resultados alcanzados son discretos, con una ligera mejora de Galicia en los indicadores per cápita en el conjunto de España gracias a la fuerte pérdida de peso poblacional, y con un mejor comportamiento de Galicia respecto de la media de la UE-15 por ese mismo factor demográfico y por el fuerte ciclo expansivo y asimétrico en el escenario europeo que experimentó la economía española desde el año 1995 y que, con un diferencial negativo respecto de la media de las comunidades autónomas, también favoreció a Galicia. También se evalúa la transformación del crecimiento de la producción en un desarrollo social que pueda considerarse sostenible. Abstract: This paper offers an in-depth review of Galician production and employment macroaggregates since 1986, when it became an EEC member. As a whole, the balance shows a fairly average performance. With respect to the Spanish average, per capita GDP has slightly improved due to a shrinking population share. Regarding the EU-15 average, results are better. Both the demographic crisis and the asymmetric Spanish economic boom between 1995 and 2007 have fuelled convergence. The paper also analyzes the relationship between GDP growth and sustainable development.
