This work uses different sources of data from the Global Entrepreneur Monitor to show a descriptive and comparative analysis of the different dimensions of the entrepreneurial activity, in the Spanish regions, and at international level. I also study the individual determinants of the...

Este trabajo analiza las últimas tres décadas de la demanda de cinco agregados básicos en España con el objetivo de comparar la situación actual con el pasado y mostrar cómo la demanda ha ido evolucionando en los últimos años (1980-2015). El propósito de este trabajo contribuye a...

The objective of the work is to know the behavior of new Spanish companies in social networks and the use they make of them, trying to establish relationships between the type of company and its behavior in the digital world. We obtain information on the almost 30,000 companies constituted...

Existing research has concentrated on the determinants of entrepreneurship and the behaviours that give rise to it. There is a great deal of evidence, which points to intergenerational transmission as one of the fundamental reasons behind the decision of becoming an entrepreneur. However, there...

This paper analyzes the intrahousehold bargaining power of spouses in Spanish families, in a collective framework. Using data for Spain, we estimate household labor supply equations and, under certain testable restrictions, we obtain a theoretically-derived a sharing rule for household income,...

In this paper, we propose a new spatial framework to model excess commuting of workers and we show empirical differences between the self-employed and employees in the US. In a theoretical framework where self-employed workers minimize their commuting time, employees do not minimize their...

In this paper, we study self-employment in a theoretical setting derived from wage-efficiency spatial models, where leisure and effort at work are complementary. We develop a spatial model of self-employment in which effort at work and commuting are negatively related, and thus the probability...

In this paper, we analyze the time allocation decisions of teleworkers, and compare them with their commuter counterparts. Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003 to 2015, we analyze the time spent working, the timing of work, and the instant enjoyment experienced while...

This paper proposes an extension of the collective model for labor supply developed by Chiappori, Fortin and Lacroix (2002) to an intertemporal setting. We first develop a theoretical model to analyze the intra-household distribution of wealth in a multi-period framework, with a focus on labor...

This paper adopts an intertemporal labor supply perspective to propose a test that allows us to distinguish between intra-household non-commitment, limited commitment, and full commitment. It investigates whether, after controling for current and future (expected) wages, past wage shocks have a...
