24. Critical to the cuts in research funding from the Ministry of Science and Innovation. Hispalink-Galicia Report on R & D

This chart prepared by the Hispalink-Galicia team with data from Eurostat, highlights the dearth of economic resources in Spain devoted to research and development (R & D). Now the Government announces cuts and many scientists are mobilizing against this nonsense . English society, although it still has an average educational level far below that of most developed countries, is more aware than our political parties of the importance of education and research for economic and social development, as evidenced by surveys of the Centre of Sociological Investigations (CIS).
international economic studies of the effects of R & D show that not only technological research is important research but also economic and other areas of social sciences and humanities often has a high positive impact on development economic and quality of life of citizens. In the coming weeks include here references and links to relevant studies in this regard.
Besides economic problems, there are many unfairness problems arising from a lack of support for R & D in Spain, such as young researchers precarious, injustice in the evaluation of the presidential administrations of invesrtigación of thousands of university professors and many others who are criticized in the webs Young Researchers Forum, University, Firgoa and others.
will include press reports and comments on this topic.

23. Hispalink-Galicia: Lower the industrial production index in Galicia and Spain in 2009

The graph shows the evolution of industrial production in Galicia and Spain in the period 2002-2009, with the average industrial production index for the previous twelve months. We observed a somewhat smaller drop in the case of Galicia, but worrying in Galicia and Spain.
In previous posts of this blog have seen as there was a convergence of real income per capita manufacturing Galicia compared with the English average, as seen in data inlet 12 this blog , in which the graph of Galicia vlaor increased while that of Spain remained virtually stagnant, due to a lack of policy support to the development industry. Moreover, the graph of the input 17 this Blog shows that most of the English regions are well below the levels of industrial production per capita in the more developed regions of the European Union.
The output of the economic crisis passes a boost to industrial activity that generates no increase in the deficit of foreign trade but also help to reduce the deficit.
In entries 8 and 19 of this Blog are graphs showing the evolution of external accounts. We note that after an excessive increase in the deficit in the period 2004-2007 (the insufficient increase industrial production per capita), there has been a sharp reduction in the deficit in the years 2008 and 2009, reflecting the difficulties in the context of the international financial crisis, to maintain a high level external debt. This adjustment is resolved not by way of increasing exports without reducing imports, which is preferable for the good of the English economy, but by way of reducing imports plus exports which has led to slow the English economic expansion.
is necessary to ensure moderation in the level of deficit in foreign trade while encouraging the development of all productive sectors, and it is therefore necessary to adopt measures to promote the industry. As we mentioned above is important to hear the voice of economists, both in the ruling party as opposition parties, since Spain has highly qualified economists who can help a very positive way out of economic crisis.
