The Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB) is a research centre whose goals are to promote and disseminate work in
applied economics, and to contribute to the debate and decision-making process in economic policy.
As this Report of Activities highlights, 2015 was a highly productive year for the IEB. Our researchers have published
40 articles in journals included in the Journal Citation Reports, while a further 24 papers have been accepted and will
appear in forthcoming issues. An additional 31 articles have been published in other academic journals, 16 appearing
this year, the rest to appear in the near future.
These output figures are extremely important for us as a research institute, as are the quantity and quality of the
seminars and workshops we have organised, the number of visiting researchers we have welcomed, and the number
of working papers we have published as part of the IEB series. Our research excellence and international vocation
make our research centre a point of reference in its fields.
We are particularly interested in disseminating our research, contributing to a broader public debate and influencing
decision-making in the area of economic policy and for these reasons the Institute has been highly active in forging
partnerships with the university, the public sector and business.
As part of this task, the Institute publishes the IEB Reports (comprising the Report on Fiscal Federalism and Public
Finances), Info IEB and a widely circulated newsletter. The IEB also organizes a range of events (symposia, conferences,
workshops, etc.) to disseminate research, but also to ensure we reach a broad audience and make a rigorous
contribution to debates on social questions.
The IEB was founded in 2001 and received a major boost with the creation of the IEB Foundation in 2008. I should
like to thank Abertis, Applus, Gas Natural Fenosa, La Caixa, the Barcelona City Hall, the Barcelona Provincial Council
and the University of Barcelona for their invaluable support.
The Institute also hosts the UB’s Chair in Fiscal Federalism (in cooperation with the Spanish Institute for Fiscal Studies).
Additionally, thanks to an agreement between the University of Barcelona and FUNSEAM (a nonprofit institution
founded by a number of leading enterprises: ACS, CEPSA, CLH, Enagas, Endesa, HC Energia, Gas Natural Fenosa, and
Repsol), the IEB hosts the UB’s Chair in Energy Sustainability.
Finally, I would like to thank all IEB researchers, PhD students and administrative staff for their daily contribution to
our Institute. You will be able to see the fruits of their labours in this annual report.

2.3. Research
The IEB’s research is mainly organised in Research Programmes, in particular:
• The Research Programme in Fiscal Federalism promotes the study of the public finances in multilevel
systems of government (national, regional, and local) and debate on local and regional funding. Its research covers
topics such as the effects of the decentralization of public services, the allocation of certain taxes at subcentral level,
and the effects of intergovernmental transfers. This programme is coordinated by UB professors Núria Bosch and
Albert Solé-Ollé and includes the UB’s Chair in Fiscal Federalism, which is currently held by Dr Bosch.
• The Research Programme in Cities and Innovation promotes the study of urban and regional economics,
focusing on competitiveness and prioritizing the issues that may be relevant to the design of public policies. The
programme analyses “knowledge spillovers”, covering areas such as human capital, innovation, the role of universities
in disseminating knowledge, and the location of the most advanced and innovative economic activities, and examines
the effects of public sector intervention on economies.This programme is coordinated by UB professors José GarcíaQuevedo and Elisabet Viladecans-Marsal.
• The Research Programme in Infrastructure and Transport promotes research in this area from an
economic viewpoint, in order to generate knowledge that is useful to society and is able to guide public policy. It
focuses on the effects of infrastructure investments and transport policies on economic growth and the environment,
examines the impact of policies of regional distribution, regulation and competition in the transport sector as well as
user charges for infrastructure. This programme is coordinated by UAB professor Anna Matas.
• The Research Programme in Tax Systems Analysis seeks to promote research in the field of taxation,
analyzing the effects of taxes, how taxes might be best designed and implemented and how their correct administration
impacts their outcomes.The programme places special emphasis on empirical research and the analysis of the Spanish
tax system, so as to generate knowledge useful for society as a whole. The programme, created in late 2013, is
coordinated by UB professor Alejandro Esteller-Moré.
In addition, the Chair of Energy Sustainability at the UB promotes research into the production, supply, and
use of the energy needed to maintain social welfare and development, placing special emphasis on economic,
environmental, and social aspects. The research programme of the Chair has three main areas of interest: energy
sustainability, competition and consumers, and energy firms. Disseminating research outputs to a broad audience is an
important objective of the programme, whose results must be relevant both at national and international level. The
Chair is held by UB professor Maria Teresa Costa Campi.
Finally, there is also a research group in Human Capital that promotes research related to the education and
training of individuals and fosters the analysis of education systems and policies from an economic perspective. The
group is led by UB professors Jorge Calero and J. Oriol Escardíbul.
2.4. The XREAP
The IEB belongs to the Reference Network for Research in Applied Economics (Catalan acronym XREAP), a research
network of the most important research groups in applied economics at Catalan universities. The XREAP was set up
in 2006 as part of a contract program with the Department Economy and Knowledge of the Catalan government.

3.3. Reports on Fiscal Federalism and Public Finance
IEB’s Report on Fiscal Federalism and Public Finance
Since 2009, the IEB has published its annual report on fiscal federalism with contributions from experts at home
and abroad, who address questions that have a bearing on the sub-central level of government. In 2013 a more
flexible format was introduced and the report’s focus was widened to examine issues related to public finance in
general, alongside more specific questions of fiscal federalism. The various topics examined in the current report are
addressed in a series of articles by recognized experts outside the IEB as well as IEB’s own researchers, who provide
their expert analyses. The contributions are short and seek to tackle current concerns in public finance that are of
obvious Relevance to economic policy. The aim of the articles is to reach as broad an audience as possible, avoiding
unnecessary jargon, and to make a rigorous contribution to the debate on social concerns.
The IEB’s Report on Fiscal Federalism and Public Finance ’15 brings together the three IEB Reports published during
2015, which have addressed the issues of fiscal balances, environmental taxation and tax fraud. However, its central
theme is the debate on the future of Spain’s regional financing system, a subject of obvious relevance and interest in
our country today.

IEB Report
The IEB Report seeks to disseminate the opinions of researchers and academics on issues that affect all citizens, in
articles that place an emphasis on being as informative as possible. Each study examines a current affairs issue by
offering the opinions of leading national and international experts, and includes an editorial written by one of the
Institute’s researchers.The report can be consulted, in Spanish and in English, on an open access basis at the Institute’s
website, and its frequency of publication will be linked to unfolding events in the world economy.
The editorial board is composed by Núria Bosch (editor), Alejandro Esteller-Moré and Pilar Sorribas-Navarro, all of
them members of the IEB and lecturers of the University of Barcelona.The 2015 issues, available on the website, are:
• IEB REPORT 1/2015: “Corruption: magnitude, causes and consequences” / “Corrupción: magnitud, causas
y consecuencias” / “Corrupció: magnitud, causes i conseqüències”
• IEB REPORT 2/2015: “Tax Harmonisation in the European Union / Armonización fiscal en la UE /
Harmonització fiscal a la UE”
• IEB REPORT 3/2015: “An analysis of fiscal federalism in the EU” / “Análisis de la UE desde la perspectiva
del federalismo fiscal” / “Anàlisi de la UE des de la perspectiva del federalisme fiscal”
• IEB REPORT 4/2015 “Supranational policies to overcome the crisis / Políticas supranacionales para
superar la crisis / Polítiques supranacionals per superar la crisi”
The studies contained in these three IEB Reports make up, together with a specific study examining local government
reform in Spain, the IEB’s Report on Fiscal Federalism and Public Finance ’13, which will be presented in early 2015.

3.4. Information services
Our publications Info IEB and the IEB newsletter keep our members and the research community up to date with
the institute’s work and activities.
Info IEB
Info IEB is a communication tool that publicizes the studies carried out by IEB members for public and private bodies,
and to analyse subjects of general interest in which the IEB members are specialists. Each Info IEB is a summary of a
project carried out by a researcher; as a result, it does not have a fixed publishing schedule, but is published whenever
the institute’s research production requires it. Info IEB appears on the IEB website.
The topics of the 2015 Info IEB, also available on the website, are:
– The Social Effects of Local Diversity, Camille Hémet
– Tax Administration and Tax Autonomy, Luca Salvadori
– ¿Es conveniente el uso de incentivos salariales para el profesorado vinculados al rendimiento de los estudiantes?,
J.Oriol Escardíbul
Newsletter
The Newsletter, edited in English, is the IEB’s information bulletin which provides regular updates on the institute’s
activities in research and in other areas. Published quarterly, it contains news and a summary of recent activities,
and advertises upcoming events, economic projects and scheduled visits by foreign researchers. Like Info IEB, the
Newsletter appears on the IEB website.
In 2015, 2 Newsletter was published.
Social networks
Adopting web 2.0 communication channels, the Barcelona Economics Institute (IEB) has its own official profile on
Twitter. With the profile @FundacioIEB, which is regularly updated, this new channel will support the website and
the IEB’s publications by offering information on the institute’s activities, upcoming events and news regarding the

4.2. Workshops, symposiums and other events
The IEB organized the following events in 2015:
• International Academic Symposium
“Energy Markets and Sustainability”
(03/02/2015)
The UB’s Chair of Energy Sustainability organised the
III International Funseam Symposium, last February 3,
to examine just how well the EU objectives are being
met for a unified energy market and for climate change
mitigation.
III INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC SYMPOSIUM
ENERGY MARKETS AND SUSTAINABILITY
February 3, 2015
The meeting was attended by key speakers from many of
the leading institutions in the field, including the University
of Barcelona, Cambridge University, the London Business
School, the University of Warwick, the German Institute
for Economic Research (DIW Berlin), the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg and the University of Groningen.
The Symposium began with a session addressing Energy
Markets, in which the speakers analysed how changes to
the electricity and gas markets are affecting electricity
prices. The second session, focused on Networks,
and examined the importance of networks and
interconnections in supply security, the implementation
of an optimal pricing system and the regulation of
transport networks for the large-scale integration of
renewable energies. The third and final session, entitled
Policies for Sustainability, included contributions on the
role of feasible policy actions as mechanisms to achieve
the goal of energy sustainability.
The Director of the Energy Sustainability Chair, María
Teresa Costa Campí, and the Rector of the University
of Barcelona, Dídac Ramírez, presented and moderated
the meeting.
Elena Verdolini, a researcher at the Eni Enrico Mattei
Foundation, Joëlle Noailly from the Graduate Institute
of Geneva, and Marzio Galeotti from the University of
Milan, presented their work on the detrimental effects of
regulatory uncertainty on innovation in the specific case
of wind energy; the role of multinational companies in
the diffusion of green technologies and the growth in the
registering of patents and productivity as a result of the
increase in environmental regulations, respectively.
The final session, chaired by Paulina Beato, focused on
energy efficiency projects. The speakers were Enrico
Cagno from the Milan Polytechnic; Peter Taylor, from the
38
Organising institutions:
Sponsor:
University of Leeds and Konstantinos Kounetas from
the University of Patras. José García-Quevedo from the
University of Barcelona and member of the Chair of
Energy Sustainability explored the determinants of energy
efficiency in the case of innovative firms.
Jean-Michel Glachant, a leading figure in the research field
of energy economics, gave the closing address, together
with Maria Teresa Costa.
Unlike Pollitt, Glanchant showed himself to be more
favourable to public policies that might promote research
in the sector on the grounds that, if the goal is to achieve
‘radical’ innovations, it is unrealistic to wait for them to be
developed by the private sector without public support. He
went onto highlight the insufficient nature of the resources
dedicated to R&D in the energy industries, and finished by
discussing the mechanisms that are best suited to promoting
innovation and how they should be put to use.

• V Workshop on Transport Economics:
Competition in Network Infrastructures
(25/05/2015)
A carefully designed infrastructure map is crucial for
the economic development and competitiveness of a
territory. This was the central theme of the V Workshop
on Transport Economics, held at the UB Faculty of
Economics, on May 25 last, and organized by the IEB, the
Fedea-Abertis Chair and the Network of Reference in
Applied Economics.
The event included papers from three leading experts
in the field. First, Mattia Nardotto, Professor at the
University of Cologne, delivered a paper entitled, “Open
access regulation in Infrastructure Sectors, evidence from
UK broadband”, in which he analysed the impact of the
40
telecommunications network on local development in
the UK.
Second, Yves Crozet, Professor at the University of Lyon,
spoke about “On-track competition in French high speed
rail market: the key variables of a challenge”, in which he
described the impact of high speed rail when applied in
accordance with criteria of competition.
Finally, Xavier Fageda, from the University of Barcelona,
closed the Workshop with a paper entitled “What
hurts the dominant airlines at hub airports”, in which
he analysed how the airlines have reacted to market
liberalization and the emergence of low-cost operators.
IEB researchers, Anna Matas and Javier Asensio, organized
and coordinated the Workshop.

• Workshop on Economics of Taxation:
“Design and Evaluation of Tax Policy”
(08-09/06/2015)
Between June 8 and 9 last, the UB Faculty of
Economics hosted the Workshop on Economics of
Taxation, dedicated to the analysis of tax policies.
During the day-and-a-half-long meeting, a total of
12 papers were presented analysing the results of
such policies as VAT reform, the implementation of
asymmetric strategies in developed countries and
the optimal design of tax models.
In addition to the 12 authors of these papers, the
Workshop included two plenary sessions given
by specialist researchers in the field. Michael Keen,
from the International Monetary Fund, opened the
Workshop with a talk entitled “Taking a Bite Out of
Apple? Fixing (or Not) the Taxation of Multinationals”,
and Wojciech Kopczuk, from Columbia University,
closed the meeting with a presentation entitled “The
Polish Business ‘Flat’ Tax and Its Effect on Repor ted
Incomes: A Pareto Improving Tax Reform?” in which
he analysed the successful tax initiative that the Polish
government launched in 2004.
Alejandro Esteller-Moré and Amedeo Piolatto, both
researchers at the IEB, organized and coordinated the
Workshop.

Corruption and public policies were the subjects of the
Workshop on Political Economy & Public Finance, held
between June 9 and 10 last, at the Faculty of Economics
of the University of Barcelona. Over the two days,
participants attended the presentation of papers that
analysed the impact of corruption on public accounts,
the creation of lobbies and the political connections that
favour the phenomenon and the use of technology as a
means of controlling and bring public pressure to bear
on political leaders.
a
The Workshop included two plenary sessions given by
leading experts in the field. James Snyder, from Harvard
University, opened the Workshop with a paper entitled
“Political Rents in US States”, and Francesco Trebbi, from

• Conference: “Corruption: Magnitude, causes
and consequences”
(16/06/2015)
The Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB) of the
University of Barcelona (UB) has presented the report
“Corruption: Magnitude, causes and consequences” in
which analyzes the perception of corruption in Spain
and the social, democratic and economic implications
that are derived. The report features data of the Index
Corruption Perception prepared by Transparency
International (TI), which shows how the perception of
corruption in Spain among experts on the issue in the
public sector has grown 10 points during the crisis. Thus,
while in the years of economic boom the index gave
Spain a score of 70 (where 100 indicates the lowest
level of corruption), the result in 2014 fell to 60 points.
With these results, Spain maintains stable and close to the
average for the European Union and Western European
values. Compared with these countries, Spain is 19th of 32,
far from the Nordic (in first positions), but also far from
the results of Greece, Italy and Romania, where citizens
consider corruption as a systemic problem in the country.
Spain results are somewhat worse in population surveys
such as Eurobarometer 2013. The European report
showed as the 95% of Spaniards felt that corruption
was widespread in the country, a percentage only lower
than the ones of Greece (99%) and Italy (97%) and
far from the 76% averaged in the European Union. In
addition, 63% of the Spanish population surveyed said
that corruption affected them personally in their daily
lives, the same percentage as Greece and far from the
26% that marked the European average.
just below unemployment. Until October 2009, only 1%
of the population perceived corruption as a problem.
Correction elements
The IEB Report points to the creation of transparency
mechanisms as a possible measure of control and
correction of corruption and recommends the creation
of tools for both Passive Transparency (access to
administrative files and records) and Active Transparency
(disseminates information management) as the
Transparency Portal, active since 2014.
In this regard, the report provides a Transparency Index
of the Autonomous Communities, which analyzes 80
indicators about the information that communities give
their citizens. The index puts Castilla y Leon, Catalonia
and the Basque Country as the three most transparent
communities (100 out of 100) while Madrid (65), Murcia
(78.8) and Canarias (80) are placed in the queue. The
Spanish average is 88.6 points, above the 71.5 obtained
in 2010 and 79.9 in 2012.
In addition to the tools of transparency, the report
considers appropriate for the prevention of corruption
the existence of active media and strengthening an
independent judiciary. In this sense, the IEB Report
notes that in Spain there are 11.2 judges per 100,000
inhabitants (10 less than the European average) and
justice spending per capita is 32.4 €, by € 60.6 in average
spent by European citizens.
Perception of corruption as a problem
The economic crisis has also facilitated the viewing of
corruption as a social problem. IEB’s report says that
during the crisis, corruption has not increased, but has
served to give visibility and relies on data from the
Centro de Investigacions Sociológicas (CIS) to support
the claim. According to the latest barometer of the CIS,
50% of the population believes that corruption and
fraud is one of the three main problems of the country,
