Designing a Model to Display the Relation between Social Vulnerability and Anthropogenic Risk of Wildfires in Galicia, Spain
Since the beginning of the 21st century, most of the forest fires that have occured in Spain have taken place in the northern region of Galicia.

Tracking the Business Cycle of the Euro Area
This article proposes a multivariate bandpass filter based on the trend plus cycle decomposition model. The underlying multivariate dynamic factor model relies on specific formulations for trend and cycle components and produces smooth business cycle indicators with bandpass filter properties. Furthermore, cycle shifts for individual time series are incorporated as part of the multivariate model and estimated simultaneously with the remaining par…
