The analysis concludes that this reform outlines a new framework and multilevel CAP 3.0 governance, which will be developed in the forthcoming reforms.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Albert Massot Marti https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/16995 The role of infrastructures in rural depopulation. An econometric analysis 2022-04-06T10:52:24+02:00 Verónica Cañal-Fernández vcanal@uniovi.es Antonio Álvarez alvarez@uniovi.es <p>The aim of this article is to contribute to the analysis of the causes of rural depopulation and, particularly, the role of infrastructures. We build a panel data set with the 78 municipalities of a region in Northern Spain, Asturias. We estimate an econometric model where rural population is explained by a set of economic and infrastructure variables as well as some characteristics of the municipalities. The main results show the importance of infrastructures to maintain rural population. The presence of a medium–size town in the municipality helps to fix the population in the countryside. However, the income gap with urban municipalities contributes to reduce rural population.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Verónica Cañal Fernández, Antonio Álvarez Pinilla https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/16971 Implementation of multifunctional margins in rainfed arable crops. Analysis of the willingness to accept of Andalusian farmers 2022-05-06T08:58:26+02:00 Rubén Granado-Díaz ruben.granado@juntadeandalucia.es <p>The “multifunctional margins” are strips of the field with spontaneous or cultivated vegetation, which enhances biodiversity. This practice is included in an agri-environmental measure in Andalusia for rainfed herbaceous crops, and it is compatible with future eco-schemes. To assess farmers’ willingness to implement this practice, a double-bonded dichotomous-choice contingent valuation model is used, carried out from a telephonic survey. The obtained farmers’ willingness to accept is higher than the amount expected in the current measure, which has implications for policy design.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Rubén Granado-Dí­az https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/16916 Transnational Governance Frameworks for Sustainable Innovation: The Case Of The Blue Bioeconomy In The Mediterranean 2022-07-08T10:00:49+02:00 David Fernández-Guerrero david.fernandez.guerrero@upc.edu Riccardo Palazzolo-Henkes ricardo.palazzolo@upc.edu Martin Federico Alba martin.federico@upc.edu Saray Ramírez-Rodríguez maria.saray.ramirez@upc.edu Lourdes Reig-Puig lourdes.reig@upc.edu <p>Recent developments in innovation policy have challenged the initial assumptions of Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3), initially aimed at promoting innovation for regional growth. In response to the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the new S3 seeks to address social and sustainable development challenges. The present study sets out to propose an extension of one of these reformed S3 approaches to a multilevel governance setting. The study will propose a governance model suitable to support innovation in the blue bioeconomy –those economic activities related to the living resources at sea–, in the Mediterranean.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 David Fernández Guerrero, Riccardo Palazzolo Henkes, Martin Federico Alba, Saray Ramírez Rodríguez y Lourdes Reig Puig https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/17402 Social network of knowledge transfer in the digital transformation of the olive sector in Andalusia: Perspective of knowledge generation agents 2022-08-16T09:28:25+02:00 Liliana Reina-Usuga liliana.reina@uma.es Carlos Parra-López carlos.parra@juntadeandalucia.es Carmen Carmona-Torres mcarmenct@gmail.com Samir Sayadi samir.sayadi@juntadeandalucia.es <p>The configuration of the social network of knowledge transfer in digital transformation (DT) in the Andalusian olive sector is analysed using Social Network Analysis techniques. The results indicate that universities and technology companies are the main knowledge emitting agents, while olive growers and cooperatives are the main receiving agents. The social network of DT has a high potential for the creation of social capital, however, most of the interactions established between actors are of very low intensity, which could lead to some actors being isolated from knowledge in DT.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Liliana Reina-Usuga, Carlos Parra-López, Carmen Carmona-Torres, Samir Sayadi https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/17007 Constructing a sustainability index for dairy cattle farms in Cantabria (Spain) 2022-07-08T09:14:45+02:00 Ibán Vázquez -González iban.vazquez.gonzalez@usc.es Elena García-Suárez halaness@hotmail.com Francisca Ruiz-Escudero ruiz_fr@cantabria.es Gabriel Caymmi Vilela-Ferreira gabriel.ferreira@ifg.edu.br Ana Isabel García-Arias anaisabel.garcia@usc.es <p>This work is a methodological proposal for the construction of synthetic sustainability index for dairy cattle farms in Cantabria. By means of principal component factor analysis, we obtain 12 indicators, 4 for each dimension (economic, environmental and social) that allow to create three synthetic indexes and a global index. Dimensions that reach the highest scores are environmental and social. Furthermore, we observe a direct relationship between global sustainability and the productive size, which, however, we did not detect for the environmental dimension but we do have in the social and economic.</p> 2022-12-22T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Ibán Vázquez-González, Elena García-Suárez, Francisca Ruiz-Escudero, Gabriel Caymmi Vilela-Ferreira, Ana Isabel García-Ariasa https://polipapers.upv.es/index.php/EARN/article/view/19012 Prólogo 2022-12-22T18:15:21+01:00 Margarita Brugarolas secretaria.earn@gmail.com Eva Iglesias secretaria.earn@gmail.com 2022-12-23T00:00:00+01:00 Copyright (c) 2022 Margarita Brugarolas, Eva Iglesias
