Novedades bibliográficas en economía vasca y navarra en el 2002

Abstract

The expected international economic recovery has not taken place, in a consolidated manner in the year 2002, a year characterised by considerable uncertainties of a geopolitical character, that have generated notable tensions in oil prices. Curiously, such factors have not prevented Basque economy and especially the Navarran economy from growing above the average of European Union countries, in the year in which the Euro was introduced. Because of this, bibliographical novelties in the field of Basque and Navarran economies during the 2001-2002 period present once again the common denominator of the need to take decisions in certain economies characterised by a growing market integration and interdependence. This is especially the case in the analysis of institutional characteristics of the different economies and the incidence of the informative asymmetries between economic agents play a decisive role when interpreting economic decisions made in companies, by the workers and in society as a whole.
