With trade tensions running high, the Trump Administration is considering new tariffs on imported automobiles, and the main target would be the European Union, traditionally America's closest ally. In this paper we combine disaggregated models to estimate the impact of these tariffs worldwide, and especially on Spain. First, a trade-policy simulation model computes the potential effects worldwide. Then we plug these into the World Input–Output Database, obtaining the inter-sectoral effects of the tariffs on Europe and the rest of the world. Finally, we insert these results into the Spanish inter-regional Input–Output Tables, obtaining final effects for Spanish regions via their inter-sectoral relations with the European Union and the rest of the world. By our calculation, the new US auto tariffs could end up destroying 10,400 jobs in Spain alone and 567,000 jobs worldwide. Moreover, they might have unexpected consequences, affecting, Spanish regions and sectors that just indirectly depend on the automobile industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Seventeenth-century travel accounts written by ordinary people are a rarity. In this article, we analyze the unusual travel report by Gregorio de Robles, a Castilian peasant (labrador) who travelled several European empires in Western Europe and America at the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries. The approach we offer is that of a global microhistory. The aim of this article is mainly methodological: we try to delineate the methodological steps we had to undertake to trace Robles in the sources. Looking for an early modern peasant traveler is comparable to searching for a needle in a haystack, but we argue that this endeavor is worthwhile because Robles offers a unique perspective on how ordinary people traveled in early modern times and on imperial frontier zones. We show that his convivial ties and the places he mentions were key elements in the methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the way that music was used in the region of Moxos (in today’s north-eastern Bolivia) during the Spanish government of Lázaro de Ribera (1786–92) as a means of integrating the indigenous population into the new administrative system established in that area of the Amazon after the disorder provoked by the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. The musical splendour of Jesuit missions in Moxos has been covered by the musicological literature, but the period immediately after 1767 has been neglected, on the assumption that it was less important. However, many documents from archives in Spain, Bolivia and Chile show unceasing musical activity in Moxos under Governor Ribera, and the presence of music and musicians as part of the economic and administrative reforms he initiated. The article also explores how Ribera strengthened the authority of the Indian musicians to consolidate the social structures and create a new image of Moxos through many reports, drawings, musical compositions and other documents he sent to peninsular Spain. It also proposes a re-examination of nine musical pieces (1790) preserved at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, written by Moxo Indians with indigenous texts and European musical notation, which praise the Spanish monarchs Carlos IV and María Luisa de Borbón, as well as Governor Ribera. Although these are known through several publications and recordings, their socio-political context has remained scarcely explored. These compositions, together with other documents, were sent to the Spanish king to show the advantages of the new Ribera’s Government Plan in Moxos and are a paradigmatic example of the efforts made by the governor to integrate Amerindian musical ‘Otherness’ into the colonial machinery of the Hispanic enlightened monarchy.
