Jean-Baptiste Say’s Traité d’économie politique made a profound impact on Spain in the 19th century due to its prominent influence on parliamentary debate and teaching. Probably due to the success achieved in Spain and the numerous editions and translations into Spanish, certain confusion is perceived in the literature. The aim of this article is t...
This study approaches the use of the market within the framework of economic sciences in order to
explain entrepreneurial activity. A variety of models and accounts taken from the history of economic
analysis are presented. The few suggestions from those that proposed it, Jean-Baptiste Say, Alfred Marshall,
and Frank Knight, will be examined. First...
Spain is delayed in adopting information and communication technologies (ICT) and its productivity per hour worked presents a downward trend since the mid-90s. In this paper we argue that these two facts are related. Using the EU KLEMS dataset we test the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis in a cross-section of sectors in Spain. We find that...
A proposal to introduce the entrepreneur into economic theory sets out to treat his economic performance as a production factor. It considers that the activity of entrepreneurs, their link to different productive actions and their economic payment are subjected to the same laws as any other factor ― i.e., the laws of the functioning of competitive...
This work analyses the particular and repeated attempt to introduce the entrepreneur into economic activity through the market for entrepreneurs. We shall examine the few suggestions ― Richard Cantillon, Jean-Baptiste Say, Alfred Marshall and Frank Knight ― that propose it. The analysis of the writings of these authors enables us to draw relevant c...

The aim of this article is to analyse the strategies employed by the Rothschilds until 1940 to limit competition in the non ferrous international market. We will study how they opted for rigid demand products of highly concentrated supply which were favourable to market control (mercury, nickel, lead and copper and sulphur) by assuming administrati...
Using the EU KLEMS dataset we test the capital-skill complementarity hypothesis in a cross-section of sectors in Spain between 1980 and 2005. We analyze three groups of workers, who are classed according to skill level: high, medium and low. Capital assets have been broken down into ICT (information and communication technologies) assets and non-IC...
In the period between 1835 and 1931 the Rothschild House established one of the most complex and influential business networks in Spanish economic history. This network controlled a wide range of activities, including financial services for the Spanish Government and the Bank of Spain, as well as the management of industrial, mining and railway fir...
Taking business decisions in large corporations requires the establishment of a competent network to channel information, permit the delegation of routine decisions, and assure the whole process is undertaken in the strictest confidence. Recent theories on social networks and the carrying out of the entrepreneurial function tackle these questions a...
Utilizando la base de datos EU KLEMS, se contrasta la hipótesis de complementariedad entre habilidad y capital en los distintos sectores productivos en España en el periodo 1980-2005. Se analizan tres tipos de trabajadores clasificados según su nivel de habilidad sea alto, medio o bajo. Los activos de capital se van a clasificar entre activos TIC (...
The required tools for the analysis of the entrepreneur and their economic actions are absence and some confusion does exist
which impedes theoretical development and empirical testing. The aim of this article is to set out a collection of analytical
tools which in turn makes it difficult to draw-up economic policy used to foster entrepreneurship....
This volume provides a comprehensive review of the theoretical concepts and empirical models of entrepreneurship from a non-conventional perspective. Its main purpose is to contribute to the design of an efficient system of indicators of entrepreneurship and competitiveness. The existence of a gap between the theory of entrepreneurship and the meth...
This paper deals with the French economic thought throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A series of distinctive concepts were developed to come to a clear understanding of the economic problems which the French authors were interested in. J.A. Schumpeter called these economists 'the French tradition'. The arguments presented in this p...

RESUMEN
Este trabajo analiza la difusión de la teoria del empresario de Jean-Baptiste Say en España, como último eslabón de una línea de pensamiento que tiene su origen en Richard Cantillon. Se prueba que la particularidad de este autor es su gran difusión en el siglo XIX español –siendo uno de los más traducidos– y la escasa influencia de su teorí...
