Sommario/riassunto |
|
The present paper investigates whether tourism specialization is a viable strategy for development. We estimate standard growth equations augmented with a variable measuring tourism specialization using instrumental variables techniques for a large cross-section of countries for the period 1980-2002. We introduce an instrument for tourism based on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We find that there is a positive relationship between the extent of tourism specialization and economic growth. An increase of one standard deviation in the share of tourism in exports leads to about 0.5 percentage point in additional annual growth, everything else being constant. Our result holds against a large array of robustness checks. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
En el 2007 s’han commemorat els 70 anys de la construcció de l’emblemàtic edifici que la II República espanyola va encarregar als arquitectes Josep Lluís Sert i Luis Lacasa per tal de representar-la a l’Exposició Internacional de París de 1937 i que ha esdevingut un símbol de la lluita contra els totalitarismes i de la defensa dels valors democràtics que la República va representar.
Més de cinquanta anys després, es va recuperar aquest símbol a Barcelona i es va posar al servei dels ciutadans, cedint-se’n l’ús al Centre d’Estudis Històrics Internacionals de la Universitat de Barcelona.
Dues parts diferenciades –passat i present– articulen els textos que es recullen en el llibre. La primera part dibuixa el context artístic i sociopolític dels anys trenta. La segona part explica el procés arquitectònic de la construcció i quin ús actual té el Pavelló com a centre de recerca i documentació amb un Arxiu-Biblioteca de reconegut prestigi internacional. |
