Abstract:
... Taphonomic studies have experienced a considerable development in the Cantabrian region during the last few years. These studies have demonstrated that Magdalenian hunter-gatherers had a significant role in the formation of the bone assemblages documented at archaeological sites. Nonetheless, the question of how these communities exploited animal resources has not been analysed in sufficient detai ...

Abstract:
... El Esquilleu cave provides one of the most interesting Mousterian sequences in recent decades. The upper part of its stratigraphic sequence has provided significant lithic materials with preliminary dating that places human occupation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Both the regional chronological context and the dating question preliminary interpretations are based on the radiocarbon resul ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates the incentives and inhibiting factors of eco-innovation capacities in the firm. Firms materialize the objectives of eco-innovation from a reactive attitude to external pressures, to a more proactive attitude that implies the voluntary incorporation of eco-innovation activities. This variability in the behaviour of companies with respect to the level of eco-innovation develo ...

Abstract:
... The limited success in the promotion of biomass use through technologically advanced heating networks in economically depressed areas has been, in part, attributed to the insufficient understanding of the transformation patterns of the energy for use of indigenous resources. In this regard, Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is proved to be reliable technology that can efficiently convert resources into u ...

We find that productivity growth of a company is related to productivity growth of neighboring companies, in both the short and long term. The marginal effects of the different factors on productivity growth are stronger in the short ru ...

Abstract:
... Conventional wisdom has it that the food economy has transitioned from organized to disorganized capitalism. An era of extensive state intervention between around 1930 and 1980 would have been followed by an era of deregulation and increasing coordination through markets after around 1980. This article uses the case of Spain's dairy chain to propose an alternative view. In the case under study, th ...

In this paper we use sovereign quanto-CDS spreads as proxy for redenomination-risk in the Eurozone, i.e., the risk of a sovereign default obtained by the redenomination of debt in a different currency. Quanto-CDS spreads are the difference between the CDS quotes in U.S. dollars and euros. We capture spillovers with ΔCoVaR, a risk-indicator proposed by Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016), that measures ...

Abstract:
... The Segura basin in south-eastern Spain is one of the most water-scarce regions in Europe. Its water economy has characteristics that constitute very favourable conditions for water market activity, and there are significant trading opportunities. However, the traded volumes have been rather small even though most of the water market activity in continental Spain is concentrated there. This paper ...

Conflicting relationships between the economic, social and environmental elements of business sustainability, which are also referred to as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), characterise today's business environment.

Foredunes have the important functions for mitigating impacts caused by extreme events, providing sediment to the beaches during storm and accumulating sediment again under fair weather wave conditions. Mainly for this ...

The first phase of incision started in approximately the 1840s ...

The location of these large plants in desert areas leads to very specific problems in their design and great uncertainty among CSP promoters. In particular, there is no reliable information on the losses due to solar extinction between the heliostats and the receive ...
