Sharing the research results carried out by the Ivie is one of the Institute’s main objectives, providing in this way useful tools and knowledge for decision-making economic and social actors. During 2016, the research activities developed by the Ivie and their results were disseminated by the media with more than 2,300 news items.
In total, Ivie researchers and technicians participated in 166 publications, including scientific articles, monographs, reports, books and book chapters. Ivie’s 2016 Annual Report, now available for download, provides detailed information on all the activities, projects and publications developed during the year.
In 2016, 9 studies were presented to the media on important social and economic issues such as education, regional funding, knowledge economy and income distribution inequality in Spain. Among the reports with more media coverage were Distribución de la renta, crisis económica y políticas redistributivas (Income distribution, economic crisis and redistributive policies), developed by Francisco Goerlich, and the study and database Cuentas de la Educación en España (Education accounts in Spain), directed by Francisco Pérez and Ezequiel Uriel.
In addition to the media presentations, the Ivie and its collaborators participated in national and international scientific meetings, organizing seminars, conferences, workshops and courses to promote the dissemination and use of its research. Among the noteworthy events organized in 2016 were: 7th Conference on the Spanish Banking Sector and the Workshop Proposals for a new financing system of Spain’s regions. However, the most important event for the Ivie in 2016 was the celebration of its 25th Anniversary with a special act titled 25 years promoting economic research.
