    Identification, sympathy and willingness to pay
    (Elsevier España S.L., 2012) Sánchez Santos, José Manuel; Pena López, José Atilano
    The present study analyzes the effects of sympathy and identification between sports fans and clubs in the recognition of willingness to pay in favor of these organizations. With this objective, after reconsidering the diverse approaches to this type of bonds, we propose in the first part a theoretical model that considers the psychosociological factors which affect the willingness to pay for this kind of goods and services that have characteristics similar to public goods. This model allows us to extract two hypotheses on the interrelation between sympathy, income and willingness to pay. In the second part, we put these hypotheses to the test. The results establish, as predicted, that identification or sympathy with a club constitutes an important causal factor in its valuation, although income has no causal relation with this. Both can explain some irregularities found within the contingent valuation method

    Is economic growth sufficient for poverty alleviation? Empirical evidence from Malaysia
    (Elsevier España S.L., 2012) Mulok, Dullah; Kogid, Mori; Asid, Rozilee; Lily, Jaratin
    Malaysia’s success story has been highlighted by the remarkable social transformation and poverty reduction accompanying rapid economic growth. Some three decades ago, more than half of the population was poor, the number of illiterates was high, and the average person could only hope to live until the age of 48. The proportion of poor people is currently down to 5.6 percent, 90 percent of adults are literate, and life expectancy is up to 68 years. Although Malaysia’s population has increased from approximately 10 million in the 1960s to about 28 million in 2010, the number of poor people has dropped significantly during this period. This paper attempts to determine the empirical relationship and importance of growth for poverty reduction in Malaysia. The results show that growth explains much, but not all, about the evolution of poverty. Economic growth is necessary but not sufficient for poverty reduction, especially if the objective is rapid and sustained poverty reduction. This study proposes that if a policy’s objective is focused on poverty alleviation, poverty reduction as well as economic growth should be simultaneously taken into account as the final target

    Variables determinantes de la satisfacción laboral en España
    (Elsevier España S.L., 2012) Bòria‑Reverter, Sefa; Crespi‑Vallbona, Montserrat; Mascarilla Miró, Óscar
    El trabajo analiza los nexos de unión potenciales entre salario, distintos activos intangibles y satisfacción laboral en las organizaciones. Para ello, contempla, por un lado, un análisis de la literatura científica que clarifica los conceptos clave del estudio y las variables determinantes de la Satisfacción Laboral y, por otro, un análisis empírico basado en la Encuesta de Calidad de Vida en el Trabajo (ECVT) realizada a los trabajadores ocupados referida al conjunto de España para el año 2010
