Sustainability is a crucial aspect of tourism growth and development. This paper suggests the adaptation of a methodology originally designed for analysing explosive behaviour in financial market time series to assess the explosive behaviour of demand pressure in tourist destinations. The proposed methodology could function as an early warning system for potential issues such as over-tourism by identifying further unsustainable growth in destinations. The methodology is exemplified by examining the long-term evolution of tourism pressure in both Spain as a whole, and in Barcelona, which is a destination frequently scrutinised in the literature and media due to perceived over-tourism. The findings suggest explosive behaviour in tourism pressure, especially in the case of Barcelona, from which valuable lessons can be learned and meaningful conclusions drawn.

Este trabajo tiene un doble objetivo, el primero exponer el planteamiento realizado del modelo Flipped Calssroom en dos asignaturas de finanzas en los estudios de tipo económico, empresarial y financiero de la Universidad de Sevilla durante el curso 2022/23. El segundo es analizar la percepción del alumnado que ha participado en la experiencia a través de una serie de cuestiones sobre la carga de trabajo, el tiempo de estudio y el nivel de satisfacción con el desarrollo del modelo dentro y fuera del aula.

Los orígenes de los estudios empresariales mayoritariamente se han recogido en literatura no académica como los aniversarios de las Escuelas de Comercio, de las Escuelas Universitarias o de las Facultades. Sin embargo, no conocemos que haya un estudio sistemático acerca de esa transición en general, ni tampoco en Contabilidad en particular. Por ello, el motivo de este estudio es contrastar empíricamente la afirmación de que los primeros profesores de las Facultades de estudios empresariales provenían de las Escuelas de Comercio y analizar los orígenes de los estudios empresariales con objeto de reconocer el papel de los académicos pioneros y describir dicha transición en el área de la Contabilidad en España. Para ello se han llevado a cabo entrevistas semiestructuradas con diversos participantes referentes de las primeras Facultades de estudios sobre el ámbito empresarial creadas en España., The origins of business studies have mostly been recorded in non-academic literature such as the anniversaries of School of Commerce, University Schools or Faculties. However, we are not aware of any systematic study of this transition in general, nor in Accounting in particular. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically contrast this statement and to analyse the origins of business studies in order to recognise the role of the pioneering academics and to describe this transition in the area of Accounting in Spain. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were carried out with various participants from the first Faculties of Economics and Business Studies (FCEyE) created in Spain.

This paper analyzes the impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methodology, a teaching method that involves working with real-world problems and developing skills for their resolution, on university students’ Intrapreneurial Intentions (IIN). A sample of 267 students participated in the study, and their responses were collected at two different times. The data were analyzed using statistical regression analysis and the fs-QCA technique. The results revealed that the PBL methodology significantly improved the behavior of variables associated with potentially intra preneurial behaviors. Specifically, three components, namely Subjective Norms, Perceived Behavioral Control, and Risk-Taking Capacity, positively influenced undergraduate students’ IIN. These findings suggest that the PBL methodology can be a valuable tool for universities in developing initiatives to improve graduate employability.

Electrification is a key pillar in energy transformation to reduce emissions. However, it may also have consequences on production. This study analyzes the effect of using electricity and non-electricity energy sources on production growth. An extended neoclassical production function, with the two uses of energy (electricity and non-electricity), is estimated for 17 Latin American countries from 1990 to 2019 and, for subsamples, based on the level of production per persons employed. The study is performed applying the cross-sectionally augmented, autoregressive distributed lag modeling approach and a non-parametric time-varying coefficients model. The parametric results indicate that the effect of both sources of energy on production are positive and significant. However, the production elasticity with respect to non-electricity consumption is higher than that with respect to electricity consumption. Only in countries with the lowest production levels could electrification be neutral. The non-parametric results show that the effect of non-electricity consumption is decreasing slightly over the period, while the effect of electricity use is increasing slightly, with a tendency towards stabilization at the end of the period. Nevertheless, these changes have been small.

In this paper, a comprehensive review is carried out on the strand of the literature related to the effects of bubbles on production, which includes the scarce empirical literature. The content is structured according to the bubble phase, since a major part of the literature considers that during the boom, there can be a crowding-in effect that can even offset the crowdingout effect derived from the bursting of the bubble. This possibility is due to the influence of two opposing mechanisms: a substitution effect derived from the possible diversion of resources previously allocated to productive investments, and an income effect derived from the fact that investors have more resources obtained from the sale of the bubble assets and from the role of these assets as collateral in loan operations. Studies also show the negative effect derived from the involvement of banks in bubbles. In this paper, both the results of the research and the main methodological framework are reviewed, thereby identifying as a gap in the literature to be considered for future research: the scarcity of empirical research, of studies that include demand factors, of papers that address bubbles in nonfinancial and nonhousing markets, and in undeveloped and emerging countries

El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar la influencia de la fuerza laboral femenina en el desempeño de las instituciones microfinancieras (IMF) de América Latina y el Caribe (ALCA). Partiendo de datos obtenidos en el MIX Market, se analizó la influencia de la mujer en puestos como oficiales de crédito, gerentes y consejeras, de 171 IMF en 18 países de la región durante el periodo 2010-2018, en la eficiencia, productividad, rendimiento financiero y alcance. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las oficiales de crédito y las gerentes influyen de forma positiva en el desempeño en tanto que las consejeras lo hacen de forma negativa. No obstante, cuando se analiza la influencia de las consejeras en aquellos consejos donde tienen una participación mayoritaria, se observa un mejor desempeño. Se recomienda incrementar la participación femenina en la fuerza laboral de las IMF, especialmente en niveles gerenciales., The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the female labor force on the performance of microfinance institutions of Latin America and the Caribbean. Based on data obtained in the MIX Market, the influence of women in positions such as loan officers, managers and board members were analyzed in171 IMFS from 18 countries in the region between 2010–2018, measuring efficiency, productivity, financial performance and outreach. Results show that female loan officers and female managers positively influence performance, while female board members do so negatively. However, when analyzing the influence of the female boards on those boards where they have a majority participation, better performance is observed. It is recommended to increase the female participation in the IMFs workforce, especially at higher levels

Effective disaster risk reduction requires conducting research within communities that gave recognized natural or technological risks, to foster the development of more resilient societies. However, limited information is available regarding risk perception and preparedness for technological hazards in disaster-prone urban areas of South America. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence public risk perception regarding the Trans-Ecuadorian Oil Pipeline System and its relationship with household preparedness for a potential accident in the Metropolitan District of Quito (Ecuador). We assess the link among knowledge, trust in authorities, risk perception, intention to prepare, and preparedness. Results from a sequential mediation analysis reveal that risk perception partially and positively mediates the relationship between knowledge and preparedness and acts as a negative full mediator between the latter and trust. These findings provide valuable information for future risk governance and communication strategies, aimed at enhancing risk perception and improving individual preparedness of individuals, as well as risk mitigation procedures

En España, la aceituna de mesa se produce principalmente en Andalucía. Destaca la producción de Sevilla. El cultivo del olivar con las variedades Manzanilla y Gordal se encuentra en un contexto bastante difícil y complejo desde hace un buen número de años. Por una parte, está en clara desventaja frente a otros sistemas olivareros con variedades con menos costes y más competitivas. Además, la fuerte expansión internacional del olivar de mesa con plantaciones intensivas y costes bajos son un serio competidor para el olivar manzanillo y para el gordal. Y por otra, se ha producido una concentración en el sector de la gran Distribución comercial, adquiriendo un elevado poder de negociación en la cadena de valor. El objetivo general es el estudio de los principales cambios en el cultivo del olivar de las variedades Manzanilla y Gordal, y la estimación de la rentabilidad de la cadena de valor

El Consejo Regulador de las Indicaciones Geográficas Protegidas (IGP) de las aceitunas de mesa tradicionales sevillanas como son Aceituna Manzanilla de Sevilla y Aceituna Gordal de Sevilla junto a la Universidad de Sevilla han realizado un proyecto de investigación con el objetivo de profundizar en el conocimiento de las características geográficas de las parcelas adscritas a la IGP para disponer de una herramienta de análisis y valoración de su grado de sostenibilidad. El estudio y análisis de los datos nos permitirá comprender, y por tanto si fuera preciso intervenir, las relaciones espaciales y temporales de la producción de aceituna Manzanilla y Gordal en el marco territorial protegido de la IGP

The Circular Economy (CE) has notable potential for the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of agriculture. However, the literature on the CE has focused on the industrial sector, leaving significant gaps in the analysis of sustainable circular models in agriculture. In the case of traditional table-olive cultivation, which suffers from serious competitiveness problems, the possibilities of the CE are particularly relevant. Given the lack of previous research for the sector, this work aims to map the circular practices carried out in traditional tableolive groves and identify their drivers and barriers. To this end, an exploratory methodology of mixed approaches is proposed that combines desk research, observational fieldwork, focus groups with stakeholders and experts, and farmers’ in-depth interviews. This methodology can be generalised to other crops. The results obtained have enabled up to 59 practices to be brought to light throughout all stages of the life cycle of olive cultivation, which cover all the principles and strategies of the CE. Plant covers, the use of eco-efficient techniques, the repair and sharing of machinery and tools, and the management of organic outputs stand out. The collaborative economy and institutional support were identified as the main drivers, while technical-economic barriers and regulatory limitations constitute the main obstacles detected. Based on these results, three groups of recommendations are proposed as a guide to future policies for which certain CE practices are highlighted: increase financial incentives, create a stable legislative framework, and reinforce incentives for the collaborative economy.

Customer feedback on online platforms is an unstructured database of growing importance for organizations, which together with the rise of Natural Language Processing algorithms is increasingly present when making decisions. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis is carried out with the intention of understanding the prevailing state of research about the adoption of sentiment analysis methods in organizations when making decisions . It is also a goal to comprehend which business sectors and areas within the company they are most applied and to identify what future challenges that in this area may arise , as well a s the main topics, authors, articles, countries and universities most influential in the scientific literature. To this end, a total of 101 articles have been gathered from the Scopus and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science (WoS ) databases, of which 85 were selected for analysis using the Bibliometrix tool. This study highlights the growing popularity of sentiment analysis methods combined with Multicriteria Decision Making and predictive algorithms. Twitter and Amazon are commonly used data sources, with applications across multiple sectors (supply chain, financial, etc.). Sentiment a nalysis enhances decision making and promotes customer centric approaches.
