			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The value of housing in Spain has increased by 3.6 from 1997 to 2007, which corresponds to the real estate boom. According  to the study in 1998 was necessary to use the 5-year average salary to  buy a house of 90 m2, while in 2007 it was necessary 12 years.</p>
<p>Responsible  for 84% of the increase in housing prices during the boom was the price  of land, compared to rising prices of the building that represented  only 16%. The  Basque Country is the region where the expensive price of land has more  impact on the price of housing with 91% of the total, said Ezequiel  Uriel, director of the report.</p>
<p>The  autonomous communities that offer the greatest capital stock of housing  with 53% in Spain in 2007 were Catalonia (993,395,000), Comunidad de  Madrid (928,782,000) and Andalusia (771,522,000). On  the other hand, Andalucía, Ceuta and Melilla are the regions where it  has increased the value of housing between 1998 and 2007.</p>
<p>During  the period that has lasted the housing bubble, housing prices have  grown at an average annual rate of 12% as did the CPI to 2.9% annually. The most populated municipalities (more than 100 000 inhabitants) and the coastal present higher prices.</p>
<p>The  Community of Madrid is the region with the 2007 housing price per  square meter high (3,221 per m2) and the lowest price we found in  Extremadura to 887 per m2).</p>
<p>Francisco  Perez, director of the Ivie, wanted to point out that &#8220;have to analyze  the consequences of a housing bubble of this magnitude has had on the  growth pattern and learn from it, since the rate of housing production  has led to a surplus and now must adjust. &#8220;Both experts agree that the housing boom could happen again but do not venture to predict when.</p>
<p>All  data in this study appear in the monograph &#8220;The capital stock of  housing in Spain and its geographical distribution (1900-2007), directed  by Ezequiel Uriel, a professor at the University of Valencia and Ivie  researcher and conducted in collaboration with Carlos Albert, Eva and Vincent Benages Cucarella, Ivie technicians.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elinor  Ostrom, professor at the University of Indiana (USA), is the first  woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics is awarded since 1969, for his  analysis of economic governance, especially the commons. &#8220;Ostrom said  stay stunned Upon learning of the award. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great and exciting surprise,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The  U.S. also Oliver Williamson, a professor at the University of  California at Berkeley, was honored for his theories &#8220;that indicate that  large corporations are, first, because they are efficient,&#8221; and for  &#8220;his analysis of political governance, especially in regarding the limits of the company, &#8220;ie, how some of the economic measures are decided in other markets and within firms.</p>
<p>Ostrom was born in Los Angeles in 1933 and is a lecturer in political science from the University of California. He also founded and directed the Center for the Study of Institutional Diversity at the University of Arizona. This  research bases its work on the analysis of public property management,  whose work has challenged the conventional wisdom that common property  is managed poorly and should be regulated by central authorities or be  privatized.</p>
<p>For  his part, Oliver Williamson received his doctorate in economics in 1963  at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and professor at the  University of Berkeley (California). The  Economist has discovered in his work that markets and hierarchical  organizations represent corporate governance structures that differ in  their approaches towards the resolution of conflicts of interest.</p>
<p>The  two winners will share equally the officially known as Sveriges  Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences and endowed with 10 million kronor  (1.4 million U.S. dollars).</p>
<p>The  Nobel Prize in Economics was instituted by the Bank of Sweden in 1969  and is the only award not established left Alfred Nobel in his will. Last year the award went to U.S. researcher and broadcaster Paul Krugman. This is the last of six Nobel announced this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And  encouraging new evidence suggests that most of the world&#8217;s fisheries,  including small-scale fisheries, which is usually not industrialized and  that millions of people depend for food, can be maintained by  community-based co.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most  of the world&#8217;s fisheries are not and never will be managed by strong  central governments with hierarchical rules and means to enforce them,&#8221;  said the Uruguayan Nicolas Gutierrez, PhD of Aquatic and Fishery  Sciences at the University of Washington (USA ) and author of the paper published by Nature this week.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our  findings show that many fisheries around the world co-managed by  communities are well managed under limited central government  structures, provided that fishing communities be involved proactively. Community-based  co-management is the only realistic solution for most of the world&#8217;s  fisheries, and is an effective way to conserve water resources and  livelihoods of communities dependent on them, &#8220;says the researcher.</p>
<p>Mayors and fishing agreements</p>
<p>With this management system the responsibility of the resources are shared between the government and users. On  a smaller scale, this may mean that mayors and fishermen from different  nations to agree to avoid fishing in each other&#8217;s waters.</p>
<p>Examples  of larger scale includes the most valuable fisheries of Chile, a  mollusc called &#8220;crazy&#8221; and also known as abalone from Chile. It  began growing in 1988 one local fishermen cooperative along a stretch  of coast of 4 km, and which today extends an administration area 700  with 20,000 fishermen along 4,000 km of coastline.</p>
<p>Although  there are individual case studies co-managed fisheries, this new work  uses data from 130 fisheries in 44 developed and developing, and  includes items such as marine and freshwater, and various fishing gears  and target species.</p>
<p>The  statistical analysis shows that co-management often fails unless it has  key elements: the presence of prominent leaders in the community and  social cohesion, ensuring clear incentives for fishermen, for example,  the amount that can capture or area in which to  fish, and protected areas, especially when combined with a regulated  harvest within or outside the area and when the proposed protected area  is controlled by local communities.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our  results show that additional resources should be allocated to efforts  to identify community leaders and build social capital, not just to  impose administrative tactics to exclude users,&#8221; said Gutierrez.</p>
<p>The Nobel Ostrom was right</p>
<p>The  new study confirms the theories of Elinor Ostrom, who won the Nobel  Prize in Economics in 2009 for defying the conventional wisdom that  common property is always given as deficient and should be regulated by  central authorities or privatized. According  to Ostrom, resource users often develop sophisticated mechanisms for  decision making and implementation of rules for handling conflicts of  interest.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elinor  Ostrom was right,&#8221; says Omar Defeo, a professor at the University of  Uruguay, scientific coordinator of the national fisheries administration  and co-author Uruguay. &#8220;With  community-based co-management, fishers are able to self-organize,  maintain their resources and achieve sustainable fisheries.&#8221;</p>
<p>After  reading the article before posting, Ostrom said the work was &#8220;fabulous&#8221;  and said: &#8220;It was very exciting to see the findings on the cohesion of  the community based on norms, trust, communication, commitment and  respect for leaders as the most important attributes that lead to a fisheries co-management success. &#8221;</p>
<p>For  the study met Gutiérrez scientific information, government reports and  non-governmental organizations, as well as personal interviews with 130  co-managed fisheries. The  eight attributes evaluated, ranging from community empowerment towards  sustainable catch up to increases in the abundance of fish and prices of  what was caught.</p>
<p>The best fishing</p>
<p>With  40% of the fisheries with positive score at 6, 7 or 8 attributes, and  another 25% scored positively in 4 or 5, the co-authors argue that  community-based co-management &#8220;is a great promise for success and  sustainability fisheries around the world. &#8221;</p>
<p>Ray  Hilborn, Professor of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of  Washington and coauthor of the study, participated in another Science  article in 2009 in which it was noted that many major industrial  fisheries and fisheries ecosystems are increasingly sustainable.</p>
<p>&#8220;This  new study illustrates the potential for growth in the world to manage  sustainable fisheries and appropriate tools for industrial fisheries in  countries with strong central governments are very different from those  with small-scale fishing or without such strong central government&#8221; said the expert.</p>
<p>This  work was supported by the National Science Foundation, Ecology Program  Fulbright / OAS (Organization of American States) and the Pew Charitable  Trusts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Of  the countries studied, Spain, Italy and Portugal are the countries of  the European Union where the long-term unemployment affects more  negatively to salary, once the individual returns to work,&#8221; explains to  SINC Carlos García Serrano, a researcher University of Alcalá (UAH) and one of the authors.</p>
<p>The  paper analyzes the labor mobility and &#8220;losses relative&#8221; of wages when  the individual passes the idle-state workers not actively seeking work  or have use for it-or unemployment in Spain, Italy, Portugal, United  Kingdom, France and Germany for seven consecutive years (1995-2001), from data collected in the Panel Survey Household Panel (ECHP).</p>
<p>&#8220;We  wanted to know the effect on wages in unemployment and inactivity, and  see if the selected countries were grouped according to level of impact  on remuneration. To  this end, we took into account the different labor market institutions  and social protection systems that exist in each country, &#8220;said Garcia  Serrano.</p>
<p>The results, published in Manchester School, show that the countries studied are divided into three groups. The  first one is formed by Germany and France, countries representative &#8220;of  protective institutions, ie, following a more proactive model of social  security or to the job.</p>
<p>For  its part, Spain, Italy and Portugal, have a similar preventive policy  but &#8220;weaker&#8221; and differences in the system of collective bargaining and  active labor market policies work. And finally, the United Kingdom has the most flexible and lowest unemployment protection.</p>
<p>&#8220;We expected that the impact of inactivity and unemployment was higher in countries like France and Germany, but it was not. Only  in the case of inaction, France, Germany and Portugal are at the  forefront of negative impact on wages in the later work, &#8220;says the  researcher.</p>
<p>A temporary phenomenon</p>
<p>But not all negative data: periods of relative wage losses after unemployment are not permanent. &#8220;In  workers who have moved from job due to a recent period of unemployment,  wage figures are 4.5% lower in Spain, Italy 5.6% and 7% in Portugal  compared to those have remained in occupation, but his recovery is quick as they disappear after one year, &#8220;he stresses.</p>
<p>Younger workers have the highest wage increases in every country (especially if they move voluntarily). However,  individuals between 31 and 45 years are most affected by periods of  unemployment on wages later and they are more permanent effects.</p>
