Dr Ramon Xifré, research director and professor of Business Organization at ESCI-UPF, has recently published (together with Yulia Kasperskaya) in Public Money & Management’s journal an article about the two fiscal reforms Spain fostered after the financial crisis.
Titled «Reform or resist? The tale of two fiscal reforms in Spain after the crisis«, the paper states that both measures, being «The law on budget stability (2012)» and «The creation of the country’s first independent financial institution: AIRef (2013)» can be labelled to be limiting and even ambivalent.
Both laws have demonstrated crossed tendencies of reform and resistance concerning the retrievement of economic decision power. As its application has driven only minor improvements, the complexity and dynamism of the transforming process and the possible tensions that may arise meanwhile among individual reforms become still more evident.
Tot just fa una setmana, el grup de joves que aquest trimestre han participat al projecte Al’alwan, impulsat per la Fundació Bayt al-Thaqafa, van executar el nou mural que decora la façana posterior d’ESCI-UPF, al carrer Comerç.
Ahir a la tarda vam rebre la visita institucional del conseller de Recerca i Universitats, Joaquim Nadal i Farreras, que va poder conèixer de primera mà l’oferta formativa i les instal·lacions d’ESCI-UPF, i va mantenir una breu reunió amb la direcció del centre.
The Jean Monnet Module “Knowledge and Innovation for EU Trade Challenges” (EUKIT), concluded its three-year execution period at ESCI-UPF. It has been exciting and enriching for all participants, enabling our institution to contribute to ongoing discussions about the EU's trade policy in these times of significant turbulence and uncertainty.
