“…The variables chosen are the annual maximum temperature (TMX) for each province and the frequency of wet days throughout the year (WET). In both cases, the information has been directly drawn from the Climate Research Unit TS 2.1 database, collected by Goerlich (2012) for Spanish historical data. In the case of the TMX variable, a positive relationship is expected and for the WET variable a negative relationship is expected, as the highest maximum temperatures and the lowest frequency of days with probability of rain generate dryness in the atmosphere which can facilitate the spread of the burnt area once a fire has started.…”

This paper analyses the increase in forest surface covered by trees in Spain in the second half of the twentieth century in the light of Forest Transition Theory and explores the existence of a statistical relationship between this process and the extension of forest fires. The study describes the afforestation policy based on new forest plantations started by Franco´s regime in 1940 which surpassed the chronological limits of the dictatorship and lasted until 1988, linking it to the forest fires that occurred in the period 1968-2002. The objective is to determine, at a provincial level, the extent to which the afforestation activity affected the number of hectares burnt. The evidence shows a significant positive relationship between forest fires and the afforested hectares, especially 30-35 years after plantations. The effect increases when the model is implemented exclusively for the Cantabrian and Atlantic northwest provinces, especially affected by afforestation programmes. Our findings reinforce the need to complement certain models of Forest Transition based on tree plantations, taking into account the possible relationship that they have with fires, particularly in environmental contexts prone to fires.

“…By contrast, GDP per capita in Extremadura or Andalusia was more than 25% lower than the national average. These differences seem to be persistent in the long run, with a trend that may have existed since 1800 (Carreras, 1990), although including a period of convergence in the 1960s and 1970s (Goerlich Gisbert andMas Ivars, 2002, Tortosa-Ausina et al 2005) As it was discussed above, development and sectoral specialization may be linked. Thus, convergence in sectoral patterns between regions may reduce inequality.…”

The outburst of deaths and cases of Covid-19 around the world has renewed the interest to understand the mortality effects of pandemics across regions, occupations, age and gender. The Spanish Flu is the closest pandemic to Covid-19. Mortality rates in Spain were among the largest in today's developed countries. Our research documents a substantial heterogeneity on mortality rates across occupations. The highest mortality was on low-income workers. We also record a rural mortality penalty that reversed the historical urban penalty temporally. The higher capacity of certain social groups to isolate themselves from social contact could explain these mortality differentials. However, adjusting mortality evidence by these two factors, there were still large mortality inter-provincial differences for the same occupation and location, suggesting the existence of a regional component in rates of flu contagion possibly related to climatic differences.
