  • Foreign Aid, Political Power and FDI: Do Aid-dependent Institutions Facilitate Investment in Africa

    Open AccessDongni Wang, Carmen Fillat et al.ARTICLEInsight on Africa2024

    In this article, we examine the nexus between foreign development assistance and the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) through a de facto political power, as an aid-seeking and likely aid-dependent group. We apply structural equation modelling to investigate the direct and indirect effect of aid on FDI via economic institutions for a sample of 42 African countries from 2002 to 2016. Our results corroborate a direct positive effect of …

  • Politics and interests in the classical gold standard. Spain (1876-1913)

    Open AccessMarcela Sabaté-Sort, Marcela Sabaté Sort et al.ARTICLERevista de historia industrial2022

    Spain never formally joined the classical gold standard, partly because its aspiration for gold convertibility did not match the financing needs of the Treasury. This paper illustrates how preferences for convertibility, that is, for fixed exchange rates, were shared by the parliamentary representatives of its manufacturing provinces because of their dependency on imported inputs (coal and cotton). However, to explain their preference for currenc…

  • Trigo y política: El proteccionismo cerealista en el Parlamento, 1886-1890

    Open AccessJosé María Serrano Sanz, Marcela Sabaté-Sort et al.ARTICLEHistoria Agraria Revista de…2021References: 1

    This paper studies the channels through which the agrarian crisis (1886-1890) arrived in the Spanish Parliament and, once there, centered the economic debate until an increase of protectionism was passed. The analysis of the roll-call votes on agrarian customs that took place in those years allows to identify, narrative and quantitatively, the line-up of congressmen according to partisan guides, but, also, according to the economic interests, agr…

  • Budget deficits and money creation: Exploring their relation before Bretton Woods

    Open AccessMarcela Sabaté-Sort, Marcela Sabaté et al.ARTICLEExplorations in Economic History2019Cited by: 1References: 40

    The sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone has rekindled the use of the North–South (core-periphery) terminology to refer to the heterogeneity of countries belonging to the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In the gold standard literature, this geographical partition had already been employed to oppose the fiscal profligacy and subsequent problems of convertibility of southern countries against the fiscal probity and long convertibility records o…

  • The peripheral protectionist backlash in the First Globalization: Spain (1870-1913)

    Open AccessMarcela Sabaté-Sort, Marcela Sabaté et al.ARTICLERevista de Historia Económica /…2011Cited by: 5References: 23

    This paper studies the role played by different trade barriers (transport costs, customs and currency) in the evolution of Spanish imports during the First Globalization (1870-1913). Through the estimation of several gravity equations with panel data analysis, we obtain the elasticities of imports to each barrier, which allows us to combine them into a single ad valorem measure of barriers to trade (which we call the trade costs tariff equivalent…
