This paper examines the relationship between commuting time and satisfaction with different life domains. Based on data for Spain, the results show that commuting time exerts a negative impact on all areas of satisfaction for male and female workers, and that longer commute...
The aim of the article is to examine the commuting behaviour of self‐employed workers in Spain as well as its relationship with satisfaction with job and housing. According to our results although conventional estimations indicate that commuting trips are shorter among the self‐employed, the differences with employees vanish when the potential endo...
Labour market areas and other functional regions (FRs) are increasingly used within research and policy, but how FRs are best defined is an unresolved issue. This is important because the policy impacts, or the research results, will differ depending on the specific FR boundaries used. As a result of this sensitivity (termed the Modifiable Areal Un...
Casado-Díaz, J.M.; Driha, O.; Simón, H. (2020) The Gender Wage Gap in Hospitality: New Evidence From Spain, Cornell Hospitality Quarterly, OnlineFirst https://doi.org/10.1177/1938965520971273 ABSTRACT: This article examines the gender wage gap in the Spanish hospitality industry versus the rest of the economy. Decomposition techniques are applied t...
This article examines the origins of the shorter commutes typically observed for women, a phenomenon that contributes to the poorer work outcomes they typically suffer. The analysis extends previous research on the gender gap in commuting by using econometric decomposition techniques that are novel in this field which, combined with a Spanish natio...
Sub‐national economic policies increasingly use labor market areas (LMAs) rather than administrative areas for analysis and implementation. How a set of LMAs was defined influences the results of such analyses, and so accurate policy delivery needs appropriately defined LMAs. Multinational bodies need comparable LMA definitions in many countries, c...
This article examines the differences in commuting length between native and immigrant employees in Spain, a relevant issue since immigrants' longer commuting times may, among other factors, reflect an imperfect spatial matching of their labour supply and demand with negative implications for their relative labour outcomes and their individual well...
Labour market areas (LMAs) are a type of functional areas that provides the appropriate framework for spatially-explicit analyses of the labour market to guide policymaking in this field. This resource presents a data base with the most recent definition of LMAs for Spain using a state-of-the-art methodology. All defined LMAs are highly self-contai...
El objetivo de este informe es examinar la precariedad laboral en España desde una doble perspectiva novedosa, centrada, por una parte, en la precariedad general que existe en el conjunto del mercado de trabajo y, por otra, en la precariedad que sufre específicamente el colectivo más amplio de la fuerza laboral, el conformado por asalariados. Para...
Labour market areas (LMAs) are a type of functional region (FR) defined on commuting flows and used in many countries to serve as the territorial reference for regional studies and policy making at local levels. Existing methods rely on manual adjustments of the results to ensure high quality, making them difficult to be monitored, hard to apply to...
Functional regions capturing local socioeconomic dynamics are a framework for territorial statistics and policymaking. The usefulness of such statistics and policies depends on the adequateness of the regions used in the analysis. Several authors have adopted the modularity quality function to drive their regionalisation methods. This function, ori...
El objetivo de este texto es realizar un balance de la evolución del mercado de trabajo de la provincia de Alicante desde 2006 hasta 2018. Aunque en nuestro país no son muy abundantes los datos laborales para ámbitos provinciales, los datos de la Encuesta de Población Activa (EPA) y de los registros administrativos del Servicio Público de Empleo Es...
El capital humano es un elemento clave para el logro de objetivos en términos de competitividad y crecimiento del sector de turismo en España. En este trabajo se utilizan datos muy recientes (procedentes de la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida en el Trabajo, ECVT) para abordar tres aspectos fundamentales en su análisis: el rendimiento educativo que los t...
En el presente estudio se pretende analizar las diferencias que existen en relación con las estilos de aprendizaje del alumnado universitario diferenciando por sexo, y el impacto sobre su rendimiento académico. Para ello se ha desarrollado una encuesta específica para el alumnado de segundo curso de los grados de ADE, TADE, I2-ADE y Marketing de la...
En esta investigación se examina el efecto que sobre los resultados académicos del alumnado universitario tienen el tipo de alojamiento de los estudiantes (en función de la permanencia o no en el domicilio familiar) y el tiempo de desplazamiento entre el domicilio y la universidad, cuestiones para las que no existe evidencia previa para España. En...
Employees’ job satisfaction influences their commitment, affects quality and productivity and is, therefore, crucial for a labour-intensive industry such as tourism. In this article, the determinants of job satisfaction are examined in comparative terms for tourism workers versus those employed in the rest of the service sector. In contrast with pr...
En esta investigación se examina si los resultados académicos del alumnado universitario están estadísticamente relacionados con el tipo de centro (público o de otro tipo) en el que los estudiantes cursaron la educación secundaria, y enlaza, por tanto, con una línea de trabajo cada vez más relevante en numerosos países pero en la que los trabajos r...
Introducción. La investigación tiene dos objetivos: caracterizar a los estudiantes universitarios que simultanean trabajo y estudios y el tipo de trabajo que desempeñan, por un lado, y analizar el efecto que tiene trabajar sobre distintas medidas de su rendimiento académico, por otro.Método.

Due to confidentiality considerations, the microdata available from the 2011 Spanish Census have been codified at a provincial (NUTS 3) level except when the municipal (LAU 2) population exceeds 20,000 inhabitants (a requirement that is met by less than 5% of all municipalities). For the remainder of the municipalities within a given province, info...

Lifestyle migration refers to the movement of relative affluent individuals in search of a better way of life (Benson and O'Reilly, 2009). Traditionally, the study of this phenomenon has focused on the motivations and meanings of this form of mobility as well as the implications for the origin and destination communities. In recent years, scholars...
A general trend in the study of international retirement migration has been the
increased attention paid to the social contacts and network connections of the migrants in
both the destination and origin areas. These studies have examined the extent to which
migrants build social relationships with their neighbours and the host society while also

This two-volume work comprises a selection of seminal articles published over the past decade that have significantly advanced the study of tourism economics. The papers have been selected for their theoretical contributions as well as their contribution to informed policy making. Volume I comprises articles representing advances in the areas of de...
This paper analyses the individual returns to education in the Spanish tourism sector. The results, which are robust to different specifications of Mincer earnings regressions, show that the earnings returns to schooling for tourism workers are only half those for all other sectors, and that the difference in returns between these two groups has in...
The delineation of functional economic areas, or market areas, is a problem of high practical relevance,
since the delineation of functional sets such as economic areas in the US, Travel-to-Work Areas in the
United Kingdom, and their counterparts in other OECD countries are the basis of many statistical operations
and policy making decisions at loc...
El presente libro se encuentra disponible para el préstamo interbibliotecario y para la consulta en sala en las universidades listadas en REBIUN: "http://catalogo.rebiun.org/rebiun/record/Rebiun02363187"
The paper reviews international scientific research on the delineation of local labour market areas (LLMAs) used in a range of contrasting countries for administrative and statistical purposes. The concept of LLMA is discussed, emphasising the spatial ‘clustering’ of interaction between labour supply and demand. The paper develops a taxonomy of met...

The authors analyse private returns to education in the Spanish tourism sector - that is, the increase in salary associated with an additional year of study. Mincer-type functions are estimated, drawing on a large sample from the Spanish Survey on Working Conditions, which allows robust estimations. Unlike previous analyses, the existence of an abi...
This paper presents empirical evidence on the returns to education in Spain using the Survey on the Quality of Life in the Workplace. Five waves of the survey have been pooled to build a dataset for which Mincer-type earning functions are estimated. Unlike other analyses experience is computed as actual and not potential experience, and a variable...
Given a territory composed of basic geographical units, the delineation of local labour market areas (LLMAs) can be seen as a problem in which those units are grouped subject to multiple constraints. In previous research, standard genetic algorithms were not able to find valid solutions, and a specific evolutionary algorithm was developed. The incl...
Purpose
Many international retirement migrants are amenity movers undertaking the first move in the late life course model of migration. The purpose of this paper is to examine second moves within the retirement destination community to test whether the model of late life course migration accurately portrays the motivations and housing choices loca...
La migración internacional de retirados no es un fenómeno nuevo entre los países de la
Unión Europea. Hay un buen número de sociólogos que han descrito el proceso y sus
implicaciones en las formas de vida, especialmente en los casos de migración de los hogares
de jóvenes retirados desde los países del norte de Europa hacia los soleados del sur. Muc...

This study examines the general influence of collective bargaining on inter-industry wage differentials drawing on an unique data set on industry minimum wages for Spain. Our novel evidence confirms the untested hypothesis that inter-industry wage premia are driven by industry minimum wages in corporatist countries with centralized collective barga...
This paper presents a new approach to the delineation of local labor markets based on evolutionary computation. The aim of the exercise is the division of a given territory into functional regions based on travel-to-work flows. Such regions are defined so that a high degree of inter-regional separation and of intra-regional integration in both case...
En este trabajo se analiza la evolución de la movilidad residencia-trabajo en la Comunidad Valenciana entre 1991 y 2001 y se delimitan para ambos años los mercados locales de trabajo (MLT) valencianos mediante una variación del procedimiento empleado en el Reino Unido para la definición de las denominadas Travel-to-Work Areas.

This article deals with the evolution of commuting in the Region of Valencia, Spain, between 1991 and 2001, and with the delineation of local labour market areas (LLMAs) through a procedure which is a variation of that used in the United Kingdom for the identification of so-called Travel-to-Work Areas (TTWAs). This regionalisation allow us to go be...
This paper presents a new approach to the delineation of local labour markets based on evolutionary computation. The main
objective is the regionalisation of a given territory into functional regions based on commuting flows. According to the relevant
literature, such regions are defined so that (a) their boundaries are rarely crossed in daily jour...
In many European local labour markets, a growing minority of workers are making longer commuting trips. One consequence for research into journey-to-work flows, which usually seeks to identify the boundaries of local labour market areas (LLMAs), is that these boundaries represent a ¡¥snap shot¡¦ of an increasingly volatile pattern. The challenge fo...
In many local labour markets across Europe and elsewhere, a rapidly growing minority of workers are making long commuting trips. One consequence for research into journey-to-work flows which seeks to identify the boundaries of local labour market areas (LLMAs), is that these boundaries represent a 'snap shot' of an increasingly volatile pattern. In...

En este capítulo se presenta una división del territorio de la Comunidad Valenciana (España) en mercados locales de trabajo. Estas áreas funcionales son delimitadas a partir de los flujos de movilidad residencia-trabajo. El objetivo es delimitar áreas autónomas, de manera que la mayor parte de los ocupados trabajan dentro de sus límites y la mayor...
This paper presents the results of a regionalization exercise carried out in Spain following the methodology used to define Travel-to-Work Areas (TTWAs) in the UK. These areas are defined so that most jobs are filled by residents of that area and most of the resident working population work in the area. For the regionalization a set of commuting da...
En este libro se delimitan los mercados de trabajo de la Comunidad Valenciana y se muestra que estos mercados tienen formas y tamaños distintos según el tipo de trabajo de que se trate, en función de su sexo, profesión o edad, entre otros factores. Además, en él se buscan las explicaciones de estos comportamientos y se señalan algunas de sus consec...
En este trabajo se aborda la cuestión de los mercados laborales locales (MLL) y se defiende su carácter de división óptima del espacio geográfico para reflejar la organización espacial del mercado de trabajo. Estas áreas son definidas por fronteras desplazamientos diarios que éstos efectúan entre sus lugares de residencia y de trabajo. En el segund...
