Jordi Nadal i Oller (1929-2020): Esfuerzo newtoniano, conciencia profética
Nota biográfica del Dr. Jordi Nadal i Oller, fundador y director emérito de Revista de Historia Industrial, fallecido el pasado 8 de diciembre de 2020
Del crecimiento con crisis a la crisis de crecimiento, 1315-1516. La gran depresión bajomedieval y la economía catalana
Después de tres centurias de revolución comercial y progreso manufacturero durante la anomalía climática medieval, el Mediterráneo experimentó un período de carestía alimentaria, intensificación bélica y virulentos brotes de peste durante el siglo XIV, coincidiendo con el mínimo de Wolf de irradiación solar. Su efecto combinado hizo caer la población, la producción agraria e industrial, el comercio, la renta de la tierra y los ingresos fiscales, …
Hierarchical Clusters: Emergence and Success of the Automotive Districts of Barcelona and São Paulo
This article analyzes the causes for the long-term success of the Barcelona (Spain) and São Paulo (Brazil) automobile industry clusters. Comparative evidence suggests that both clusters emerged in the early twentieth century through the formation of Marshallian external economies. Nevertheless, neither Barcelona nor São Paulo reached mass automobile production before 1950. The consolidation of the clusters required the adoption of strategic indus…
The stagflation crisis and the European automotive industry, 1973–85
The success in coping with the stagflation crisis depended on two groups of factors. On the one hand, survival depended on assemblers’ strategies to promote economies of scale and scope, process and product innovation, related diversification, internationalisation and, sometimes, changes of ownership. On the other, firms benefitted from long-term path-dependent growth in their countries of origin’s industrial systems. Indeed, the main winners of …
Les clusters de l'édition de Barcelone et de Madrid et leur cycle de vie depuis 1898
L’Espagne compte aujourd’hui parmi les cinq nations qui sont les plus grandes exportatrices de livres. Au sein du pays, la production est très concentrée, avec deux clusters dans ce domaine : à Barcelone et à Madrid. La question qui se pose est de savoir si ces deux clusters ont été dominés par un petit nombre de grandes entreprises pivots, selon le modèle identifié par A. Markusen, M. Porter et A. Chandler, ou par de petites entreprises, selon l…
Marshall in Iberia. Industrial Districts and Leading Firms in the Creation of Competitive Advantage in Fashion Products
Firms dealing with “Made in Spain” fashion products (e.g., textiles, apparel, and footwear) have increased their presence in the world market over the last two decades. This paper focuses on the origins of this process. After constructing a new database of export districts, it first investigates the sources of the international competitiveness of these districts. Second, it explores whether industrial districts boosted the internationalization of…
Strategic policy revisited: The origins of mass production in the motor industry of Argentina, Korea and Spain, 1945–87
During the postwar 'golden age' of economic growth, Argentina, Korea and Spain promoted the development of their motor industries by restricting imports, licensing investment, imposing a high level of local sourcing for parts, and supporting their own national champions. These strategic policies took advantage of economies of scale, achieving significant increases in output, and creating dynamic competitive advantage. Sudden liberalisation or the…
