“…Este resultado se explica esencialmente por las mayores dotaciones de educación de este colectivo, ejerciendo las dotaciones de edad un efecto contrapuesto (figura 3). En este sentido, cabe destacar que el efecto reductor que se deriva de la mayor educación relativa de las mujeres sobre la brecha salarial por género a lo largo de la distribución salarial concuerda con los resultados de De la Rica, Dolado y Llorens (2008), Gradín y Del Río (2009) y Del Río, Gradín y Cantó (2011) 17 .…”

ResumenEl artículo examina la evolución de las diferencias salariales entre hombres y mujeres en España entre los años 2002 y 2010. La evidencia obtenida sugiere que el notable empeoramiento de la coyuntura económi-ca tras el inicio de la Gran Recesión ha tenido dos impactos reseñables sobre el diferencial salarial por razón de género. El primero es que se ha revertido la tendencia hacia la reducción de la brecha salarial por géne-ro que se venía produciendo en la economía española con anterioridad, durante la expansión económica. El segundo es que se ha generado un perfil creciente de la brecha salarial a lo largo de la distribución de salarios coincidente con el fenómeno de techo de cristal observado para otros países, pero no en períodos previos para España.Palabras clave: Diferencias salariales por razón de sexo; datos emparejados empresa-trabajador; descomposición salarial de Juhn-Murphy-Pierce; descomposición de Fortin-Lemieux-Firpo.Clasificación JEL: J16, J70. IntroducciónEl análisis de las diferencias entre los salarios obtenidos por hombres y mujeres con similares características productivas ha acaparado tradicionalmente un gran interés en la literatura económica (Altonji y Blank, 1999;Weichselbaumer y Winter-Ebmer, 2005). Este interés se ve acrecentado por las consecuencias de la Gran Recesión, que ha originado un dramático empeoramiento de los mercados de trabajo en el ámbito internacional. La literatura que aborda los efectos del ciclo económico sobre las condiciones laborales de las mujeres sugiere, en este sentido, que la respuesta de este colectivo en términos de empleo y salarios reales ante cambios en la coyuntura económica pudiera diferir de la de los hombres * Este trabajo se ha beneficiado de la financiación del proyecto de investigación CSO2011-29943-C03-02 del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. Agradecemos los comentarios y sugerencias recibidos por parte de dos evaluadores anónimos.

The agricultural investigation of the italian Parliament, published in 1884, also highlighted, especially in reports on individual territorial districts, the importance of chestnut in the italian mountains. Since the early twentieth century are available long time series collected by ISTAT (National Statistics Institute) data on surface and production of the chestnut and foreign trade of the chestnuts. Key words:Role of the chestnut, statistics, multifunctionality, agricultural policy Official statistics and role of the chestnutThe chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) is the breadfruit and the tree of life that precedes and then accompanies the first man in history. Since Roman times, and even more in the Middle Ages and in Modern times, Italy is the european territory in which the chestnut spreads further contributing increasingly to the survival of the mountaineer.In the second half of the nineteenth century, the widespread presence of chestnut still identifies two particular social and economic situations: "The international poverty and the chestnut" portrays the role of the chestnuts in human nutrition in large parts of the Alps and the Apennines and "The civilization of the chestnut" photographs with a still of the customs, traditions, use of timber, fruit and use rules that govern the lives of many mountaineers from Piemonte to Veneto, from Lombardia to Calabria [1].The agricultural investigation of the italian Parliament, published in 1884-1886, also highlighted, especially in reports on individual territorial districts, the importance of chestnut in the italian mountains [2].Since the early twentieth century are available long time series collected by Ministry of Finance [3] and ISTAT (National Statistics Institute) [4, 5, 6] data on surface and production of the chestnut and foreign trade of the chestnuts.The examination of the many available statistical data to divide the evolution of italian chestnut by the unit to date in four historical periods.Adua Mario, Istituto Nazionale di Statistica (ISTAT), email: adua@istat.it 1951 1956 1961 1966 1971 1976 1981 1986 1991 1996 2001 Years The first period: "the autumn of the patriarch"The first period, from 1901 to 1950, "the autumn of the patriarch", is characterized by a general decrease in cultivation, however, maintains basically stable overall role of the italian mountain agro-forestry. In the early twentieth century, based on the conclusion of the Agricultural cadastre, it began the publishing of annual data of forestry; for 1910 it was estimated a total area in high forest of chestnut of 652 thousand hectares and a production of 607 thousand tons (Fig. 1). In 1911 it was observed the historical maximun of production: 830 thousand tons. In the thirties ISTAT (then Central Statistics Institute) [7] realizes the survey on the cultivation of chestnut in Italy -Years 1934. This survey is the picture sharper and more detailed on the role of the chestnut tree in the agricultural landscape and chestnuts in the diet. The survey shows a total area o...

“…Even though several authors have focused on inequalities detrimental to one group, 3 only recently formal de nitions of the concept have been put forward, with a concern for censoring inequalities when they are not detrimental to the group of concern. The most recent and neat de nition by del Rio et al (2011), based on the work of Jenkins (1994), applies to comparisons of actual distributions against counterfactuals. This approach effectively deals with distributions of the same population size.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Gaston Yalonetzky University of LeedsAbstract A long literature on inter-distributional inequality (IDI) has developed statistical tools for measuring the extent of inequality between two groups (e.g. men versus women). Firstly, I introduce the property of group-specific disadvantage focus (GDF). Indices satisfying this property are only sensitive to inequalities that are disadvantageous to one specific group. Then the paper reviews some of the most prominents IDI indices proposed in the last four decades. The assessment focuses on whether these indices satisfy GDF and, if not, how they react to inequalities that are disadvantageous to different groups. I also discuss whether these indices are informative, or not, regarding other interesting features related to IDI comparisons, e.g. distributional equality, absence of distributional overlap and presence of first-order stochastic dominance. Finally, I propose amendments to several of these indices in order to render them in fulfillment of GDF and more informative on the mentioned distributional features.Paper submitted to the special issue The Measurement of Inequality and Well-Being: New Perspectives JEL D30, J71
