Clemente, J., Larramona, G and Montuenga, V. (2013) Scale and composition effects of human capital on Spanish regional migration, Applied Economic Letters, 20(18) 1644-1647.  The aim of this paper is to test the effects of human capital on Spanish internal migration, decomposed into two components: the size, and the composition of the labour force. Our results indicate that those Spanish regions that experienced increases in the ratio of skilled to […]

Larramona, G. (2013). Out-migration of Spanish immigrants, Population, 68(2) 213-236. Out-migration is an increasingly significant phenomenon in Spain. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the role of Spain as a sending country changed, and it became a significant receiver of immigrants. The empirical literature, scant as it is, focuses on return migration rather than on the broader concept of international out-migration, and on international return migration from the […]

Aísa, R., J. Cabeza, G. Larramona (2014). Education and age at migration, Optimal Control, Applications and Method, DOI: 10.1002/oca.2078. We have designed a three-stage optimal control problem that endogenously determines age at migration and level of education. The combination of social and economic factors related to migration allows us to detect different patterns in the age at migration and the level of schooling. Our main finding is the negative relationship […]

Larramona, G. y M. Sanso (2014) Internal migration and Spanish regional convergence (1972-1998), International Migration, DOI: 10.1111/imig.12027. Following the results of a simple endogenous growth model, some useful conclusions are drawn from the empirical analysis of Spanish internal migrations between 1972 and 1998. Firstly, we find that there is no absolute convergence of the capital/labor ratio towards a unique value in the steady state but, rather, a persistent gap between […]

Manuel Flores y Adriaan Kalwij (2014) The associations between early life circumstances and later life health and employment in Europe. Empirical Economics. DOI: 10.1007/s00181-013-0785-3. Abstract: We use data from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe to estimate for thirteen European countries the associations of early life circumstances ­- measured by childhood health and socioeconomic status (SES)- with educational attainment, and later life health and employment (at ages […]

Bonhomme, S., & Hospido, L. (2013). Earnings Inequality in Spain, Intereconomics, Review of European Economic Policy, Volume 48, Number 6, November/December Summary and policy implications The social security data show that male earnings inequality in Spain has varied considerably over the past two decades. However, this evolution presents distinctive features compared to other developed countries such as the US or Germany. Our evidence shows that there was no apparent trend […]

Hospido, L. & Zamarro, G. (2014). Retirement patterns of couples in Europe, IZA Journal of European Labor Studies, forthcoming In this paper we study the retirement patterns of couples in a multi-country setting using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe. In particular we test whether women’s (men’s) transitions out of the labor force are directly related to the actual realization of their husbands’ (wives’) transition, […]

Bonhomme, S., & Hospido, L. (2013). Earnings inequality in Spain: new evidence using tax data. Applied Economics, 45(30), 4212-4225  We use tax files from 2004 to 2010 to document the recent evolution of earnings inequality in Spain. We find that inequality went in parallel with the evolution of the unemployment rate during the period. This evolution is consistent with the evidence from Social Security records recently documented in Bonhomme and […]
