Purpose This study examines the relationship between curricular university internships and labour market outcomes for university graduates in Spain. It investigates both short- and long-term associations across two graduate cohorts. Design/methodology/approach The analysis draws on microdata from two cohorts (2014 and 2010) of the Spanish University Graduate Job Placement Survey. Linear probability models are estimated to assess the relationship …
Technological agglomerations and the emergence of artificial intelligence start-up ecosystems in Europe
The emergence of new industries is shaped by intricate geographical dynamics influenced by multiple factors. Yet, the rationales underpinning the locational choices of AI-based startups remain insufficiently understood. Traditional explanations have largely emphasized agglomeration economies, but their applicability to the AI industry requires further examination. This study investigates the growth of the AI industry across seven major European r…
Incomplete regional innovation systems, territorial servitization and the distant hybridization of manufacturing and knowledge intensive business services (Kibs) industries
This paper examines how manufacturing firms collaborate with knowledge-intensive business services in distant regions within territorial servitization processes, where local manufacturing industries cooperate with distant knowledge-intensive business services. The paper proves how the selection of a local or distant knowledge-intensive business service partner depends on the local situation and conditions, defined by the characteristics of the re…

Digital literacy affects how people use the internet. However, we argue that the concept of "digital literacy" cannot usefully be applied to all internet users; there is simply too much heterogeneity across devices, platforms, and social contexts. We conduct surveys in Mexico and Colombia to understand how these people use the internet. We find that WhatsApp is by far the dominant platform across all sectors of society. In contrast to evidence fr…
Do gifts buy votes? Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America
Can Facebook Ads and Email Messages Increase Fiscal Capacity? Experimental Evidence from Venezuela
Tax compliance is an important challenge in weakly institutionalized countries, especially when fiscal capacity is limited. E-government platforms, which have become popular in recent years, provide governments with more and better taxpayer information, allowing new forms of communication with citizens. In particular, social media targeted advertising may be used by tax authorities to increase tax compliance. We performed a randomized field exper…
Run-off Elections in the Laboratory
We study experimentally the properties of the majority run-off system and compare them to those of plurality rule. Our focus is on Duverger’s famous prediction that the plurality rule leads to higher co-ordination of votes on a limited number of candidates than the majority run-off rule. We find strong co-ordination forces under both systems. However, as predicted by the theory, in some cases these forces are stronger under plurality. Despite the…

Civil conflict and voting behavior
What are the effects of war on political behavior? Colombia is an interesting case in which conflict and elections coexist, and illegal armed groups intentionally affect electoral outcomes. Nonetheless, groups have used different strategies to alter these results. This paper argues that differential effects of violence on electoral outcomes are the result of deliberate strategies followed by illegal groups, which in turn result from military cond…

Services in Developing Economies
This study contributes to the debate on the premature deindustrialization of developing countries by analysing the contribution of services to aggregate productivity and output growth within a Kaldorian framework. The article revisits Kaldor's Growth Laws and empirically tests them for a number of economic activities, including four service branches across 29 developing economies in Asia, Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa over three decades (1…
Self-enforcing clientelism
Political clientelism is a dyadic relation in which a politician (the patron) gives material goods and services to a citizen (the client), in exchange for political support. If, at different stages of this relationship, both the patron and the client have incentives to defect and not honor informal agreements, what makes clientelism self-enforcing? The following paper presents a game-theoretical model of political clientelism in which a candidate…

The Specialization in Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (Kibs) across Europe
Gallego J. and Maroto A. The specialization in knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) across Europe: permanent co-localization to debate, Regional Studies . Knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) have traditionally been said to require the establishment of face-to-face contacts in the transmission of the knowledge-based intermediate inputs they provide, which accordingly influence their localization patterns. However, the search of ge…
Abstraction of covariations in incidental learning and covariation bias
Experiment 1 was devised to distinguish, in a given set of features composing drawn robots, those whose variations were related a priori for participants from those whose variations were a priori independent. In Expt 2, correlations were experimentally induced between a priori ‐related features for one group of participants ( pre‐primed group), and between a priori ‐independent features for another group { arbitrary group), in incidental learning…
Abstraction of covariation in category learning
Several studies directed by K. Richardson (Richardson, 1986, 1987; Richardson & Carthy, 1989, 1990) claimed that people are able to abstract imperfect covariations among feature variables defining artificial categories, and to use that information in various subsequent tasks. We challenge this claim on a twofold basis. First, a large part of the performance variance Richardson attributed to covariation knowledge may be accounted for by a very sim…
