Este libro es producto del intenso trabajo que se viene realizando en el área de la medición de la eficiencia y la productividad desde hace varios años en el Departamento de Economía de la Universidad de Oviedo. Asimismo, se han incorporado aportaciones de otros destacados investigadores de esta área, pertenecientes a otras universidades españolas y extranjeras. Los capítulos del libro combinan el rigor con la claridad, formando un volumen autocontenido donde se estudian tanto los conceptos básicos como las líneas más avanzadas de investigación. Al mismo tiempo, se ha tratado de usar una notación común que facilite la entrada y el avance relativamente rápido en esta literatura. A esto se añade el contar con aportaciones de los más prestigiosos investigadores en el campo internacional. Por estos motivos, el libro constituye una magnífica referencia para la iniciación, puesta al día y consulta de los estudiantes e investigadores interesados en los distintos campos relacionados con la medición de la eficiencia y la productividad.

 

 

 

Título: Introducción al análisis empírico de la producción

El objetivo de este libro es hacer más fácil el camino a los estudiantes interesados en el campo de la microeconomía aplicada. La conjunción de teoría y práctica es la aportación más importante del libro, que está estructurado en cuatro grandes partes: I) Introducción al análisis econométrico aplicado; II) El análisis teórico de la producción; III) El análisis empírico de la producción; IV) Aplicaciones. La estructura del libro intenta reflejar el objetivo del mismo. Así, las cuatro partes anteriormente reseñadas intentan cubrir: la 1, de lo que se trata el libro (econometría aplicada); la 2 y la 3, a lo que se aplica (economía de la producción); y la 4, ¿cómo se aplica? (estudios empíricos). El libro va dirigido a estudiantes que quieren hacer investigación aplicada en economía de la producción. El libro puede usarse como texto en un curso avanzado de microeconomía aplicada, que de hecho fue la idea inicial bajo la que fue concebido, o también como manual auxiliar de un curso introductorio de econometría.

La gestión medioambiental constituye una oportunidad para el futuro de las explotaciones lecheras, ya que además de los efectos positivos sobre el medio ambiente puede generar mejoras en la competitividad del sector productor, tanto por la vía de la reducción de costes como por la diferenciación de la producción.

Esta monografía analiza el comportamiento medioambiental de las explotaciones lecheras asturianas y su relación con los resultados económicos a través del estudio de una muestra de 59 ganaderías para las que se describen y calculan 40 indicadores de impacto ambiental, a partir de los cuales se realizan comparaciones según el grado de intensificación del sistema productivo al igual que se analizan los efectos de dichos impactos ambientales sobre la competitividad de las unidades productivas. También se estudia la ecoeficiencia como una medida expresiva de la «rentabilidad medioambiental» de las ganaderías, en el sentido que tiene en cuenta tanto el impacto medioambiental como los resultados económicos de la producción lechera.

Los resultados obtenidos muestran la relevancia de la gestión medioambiental en el sector lechero, existiendo un importante potencial de mejora que debería traducirse en efectos positivos para el entorno rural al igual que para la competitividad y la supervivencia de las ganaderías asturianas.
