La inversión pública en medio ambiente en España, 2002-2014: Caracterización y dinámica territorial
Ruiz Peñalver, Soraya María; Porcel Rodríguez, Laura
Este artículo pretende analizar la evolución del gasto público destinado a la
protección medioambiental en España desde 2002 hasta 2014. La finalidad de dicho
documento es analizar, cuál ha sido la tendencia presupuestaria para esta partida en el
periodo considerado; constatar la importancia relativa que tiene el gasto público en
medio ambiente respecto al gasto público total; y comparar cómo ha incidido la crisis
financiera y económica en los presupuestos, los gastos, las inversiones y las
subvenciones destinadas para la protección, prevención, planificación e investigación
en el Medio Ambiente.; This article aims to analyze the evolution of public expenditure for
environmental protection in Spain from 2002 to 2014. The purpose of this document is
to analyze, what has been the budgetary trend for this item in the period considered; to
note the relative importance of public expenditure on the environment in relation to
total public expenditure; and to compare how the financial and economic crisis has
affected budgets, expenditures, investments and subsidies for protection, prevention,
planning and research in the environment.

From high-tech clusters to open innovation ecosystems: a systematic literature review of the relationship between science and technology parks and universities

As part of the third mission of universities to promote innovation and economic development, the popularity of science and technology parks (STPs) as a policy tool is increasing. The co-location of innovative companies and universities should be conducive to knowledge exchange between universities and industry, thus leading to more innovation. However, STPs have evolved in different contexts and to serve different purposes. Furthermore, the research on them has evolved mainly through case studies of individual parks and it is scattered across different disciplinary conversations. Building on 1,711 articles published from 1985 onwards, this study presents a systematic literature review of research on STPs and their relationships with universities. We find three different phases in the evolution of this literature: a formation phase (before 2000), where the focus was on the creation of STPs; a geographical expansion phase (2000–2010) reflecting the geographical expansion of STPs to East Asia and other emerging economies, with heavy focus on high-technology firms mainly in ICT; and a topical expansion phase (2011 onwards) when the literature expands to cover a diversity of new topics, including open innovation and sustainability, reflecting broader changes in the understanding of innovation.

Identification of leading hazardous waste generating industries with high improvement potential in Spain

This paper employs Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment and Data Envelopment Analysis to attribute
total (direct and indirect) hazardous waste generation to the different industries and to connect total hazardous
waste generation to the value added generated by each industry in Spain. In difference with previous studies we
include all the industries of the economy and we focus on one specific type of environmental burden: the generation of hazardous waste. The results show that there is a very high concentration in total hazardous waste generation: only three industries accounted for almost 80% of total hazardous waste generation. This concentration
also affects the type of hazardous waste generated. Thus, we find two main types of waste that account for 93% of
total hazardous waste. Overall, the greatest hazardous waste generating industries are also the least efficient ones
and exhibit a high improvement potential. Prevention measures directed to these industries should be
implemented.

In December 2015 the European Commission adopted the Circular Economy Package that includes legislative proposals on waste as well as long-term targets to reduce landfilling and increase recycling and
reuse. A detailed and comprehensive accounting of waste arisings forms the quantitative basis for
designing adequate policy instruments for a Circular Economy. The aim of this paper is to estimate total
waste generation throughout the supply chain in Spain by applying an input-output based hybrid Life
Cycle Assessment model. Both the waste generated by direct suppliers and indirect suppliers (that is,
suppliers to suppliers) are estimated. The results show that there is high concentrations in total waste
generation both in terms of sectors and waste types so the government should concentrate its waste
prevention strategy on those sectors and types of waste that have a higher impact on total waste
generation.

Direct and indirect generation of waste in the Spanish paper industry
Ruiz-Peñalver, Soraya María; Rodríguez Molina, Mercedes; Camacho Ballesta, José Antonio; Ruiz Peñalver
The paper industry has a relatively high degree of reliance on suppliers when compared to other
industries. Exploring the role of the paper industry in terms of consumption of intermediate inputs from
other industries may help to understand how the production of paper does not only generate waste by
itself but also affects the amount of waste generated by other industries. The product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a useful analytical tool to examine and assess environmental impacts over the entire life
cycle of a product ‘‘from cradle to grave’’ but it is costly and time intensive. In contrast, Economic Input
Output Life Cycle Assessment Models (IO-LCA) that combine LCA with Input–Output analysis (IO) are
more accurate and less expensive, as they employ publicly available data. This paper represents one of
the first Spanish studies aimed at estimating the waste generated in the production of paper by applying
IO-LCA. One of the major benefits is the derivation of the contribution of direct and indirect suppliers to
the paper industry. The results obtained show that there was no direct relationship between the impact
on output and the impact on waste generation exerted by the paper industry. The major contributors to
waste generation were the mining industry and the forestry industry
