Impact of the 2012 pharmaceutical co-payment reform on drug consumption among children in Catalonia
BACKGROUND: Poor childhood health negatively affects health and socioeconomic status later in life. One crucial policy tool is the modification of co-payment conditions, which can cause parents to experience more rigid budget constraints and cause reductions in the number of prescription drugs given to their children. OBJECTIVE: This study estimates the price sensitivity of prescription drug demand using data on all prescription drug purchases fo…
A randomised control trial on the impact of nudges, information and incentives on food choices of vulnerable families

The effect of dual vocational education and training on grades and graduation in Catalonia, Spain
Dual vocational education and training (VET) has recently been introduced in Catalonia, as in the whole of Spain, and it should be the only VET system in the near future. However, Dual VET still coexists with traditional VET. The former has much more on-the-job training, companies are more involved in curricula design and training management, and trainees receive a salary or a scholarship. This study analysed the effect of Dual VET on students’ g…
How has the strict lockdown during the Sars-COV-2 outbreak changed the diet of Spaniards
The very restrictive lockdown negatively impacted the characteristics of food and beverage purchases made by Spaniards. However, we are unsure whether there was substitution to restaurant and bar visits. Additional work to find out whether there were permanent changes in purchasing behaviour after lockdown ended is needed in the future
The impact of an easy access drug supply management policy law on the consumption and abuse of opioids in Catalonia
The abolition of the duplicate prescription programme for strong opioids led to a reduction in the average monthly use of strong opioids, but an increase in abuse
How do consumers respond to "sin taxes"? New evidence from a tax on sugary drinks
It is unclear what the effects of taxes on sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) are on consumer behaviour and which consumers may be affected the most. We evaluate the effect of the SSB tax introduced in Catalonia (but not in the rest of Spain) in May 2017 using loyalty card data of monthly purchases by 884,843 households from May 2016 to April 2018. Using a Difference-in-Differences approach, we study the SSB tax effect on the purchased quantity of …

Quantitative Study on the Impact of Branchless Banking on Microfinance Institutions
In this study, we examined how implementing branchless banking partnerships (BBPs) can enable microfinance institutions to improve their efficiency by reducing cash handling and to expand its product offering to savings. We examined the case of Attawfiq Microfinance in Morocco, that implemented a BBP strategy named Low Income Banking (LIB) in order to achieve increased efficiency and expand its product offering to savings through the LIB account …
The influence of education on the access to childhood immunization
This paper evidenced the presence of an education gradient for specific preventive care through the public health system and visits to the GP without any particular disease or advice for specific vaccinations
Home Environment and Parental Involvement in Homework During Adolescence in Catalonia (Spain)
It is well documented that parental behavior is a strong determinant of a child's educational achievement and general well-being. Thus, it seems relevant to analyze the determinants of parental involvement in the education of their children. While most studies analyze the effect of family characteristics (such as parents' education, ethnicity, or family structure) on parental involvement, we focus on the effect of home environment. Specifically, …

The association between adolescent height and student school satisfaction
Measuring the Impact of EU Support for Cross-border Regional Cooperation
The European Community has provided financial support for cross-border territorial cooperation since 1990. The justification of the European Union (EU)’s current territorial cooperation policy for cross-border contiguous regions lies in its capacity to promote functional economic links between them. This capacity is based on two assumptions, namely that there is a relation between the degree of institutional cooperation achieved and the financial…

Mora T. and Moreno R. The role of network access on regional specialization in manufacturing across Europe, Regional Studies. This paper focuses on the debate over the importance of infrastructure in the course of European integration. It aims to analyse whether the accessibility created by the improvement in the access to the transport network has any effect on European regional specialization levels within manufacturing. The results point to th…
