This paper reviews the financing of the Spanish civil war. We present new evidence showing that the combatants, the Republican government, and the Franco administration followed similar financial strategies. We argue, contrary to established wisdom, that both sides consumed similar shares of...

The gold standard began to emerge as a universal monetary system in the late 1870s, and it had spread throughout the world economy by 1900. It was unusual for nations to be off the gold standard, and it meant that they were detached from the international financial community. Spain never joined...

El trabajo presenta una nueva reconstrucción de las balanzas de pagos del periodo autárquico (1940-1958). El uso de fuentes complementarias y nuevos métodos para el tratamiento de los datos da como resultado una mejor aproximación a la realidad del sector exterior español. Entre los...

The impact that the francoist autarkic economic policy had on the Spanish economy is assessed using the Domestic Resource Cost (DRC) as an indicator. This indicator compares the real opportunity cost of the primary factors used in the production of a certain good with its aggregated value at...

<b>Resumen:</b><br> <br> La globalización configura un reordenamiento de la estructura espacial. Es en ese contexto donde lo local emerge como espacio potencial para el desarrollo de un proyecto comunitario. Frente a la articulación convencional global-local donde las interconexiones y flujos globales...

We are interested in testing hypotheses that concern the parameter of a logistic regression model. A robust Wald-type test based on a weighted Bianco and Yohai [ Bianco, A.M., Yohai, V.J., 1996. Robust estimation in the logistic regression model. In: H. Rieder (Ed) Robust Statistics, Data...

We introduce a class of robust estimates for multivariate linear models. The regression coefficients and the covariance matrix of the errors are estimated simultaneously by minimizing the determinant of the covariance matrix estimate, subject to a constraint on a robust scale of the Mahalanobis...
