POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT IN THE VERA CAMPUS OF A SPECIAL SOUND AND
IMAGE DEGREE ON THE GITSI OF GANDIA CAMPUS (2012)
The purpose of this study is to estimate how the establishment of a degree in Technical Telecommunications
Engineering specialized in Sound and Image (GITT) at the Vera campus of the Polytechnic University of
Valencia would impact the enrolment in the degree in Telecommunications Systems, Sound and Image
Engineering (GITSI) that is taught on the Gandia campus of that University. Based on a survey to the students
of this degree at the time of their enrolment, it is estimated how many students would not enroll in the Gandia
campus to do so at the Vera campus and how many would remain in this degree or in other degrees offered at
the Gandia campus. It also estimates the impact that an implementation of a specialized degree program at
some of the universities of the city of Valencia would have on the Gandia campus.

ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM HOME SALES TO FOREIGNERS (2012)
In this research work, carried out for the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure, Territory and Environment and for
the Valencian Trade Agency (IVEX), the economic impact of house purchase by foreigners in the Valencian
Community is estimated and its interest as an aim of public or commercial policy is evaluated. The report is
structured around the following sections:
⎯ Based on an input-output analysis, the economic impact of home sales to foreigners in the 2008-2012
period as well as the potential impact of future promotional efforts to boost international demand are
assessed.
⎯ Additionally, the individual direct and indirect impacts on each household resulting from home sales
to foreigners are estimated, taking into account aspects such as household spending on goods and
services directly related to home purchase and those indirectly linked to households’ everyday life, the
different types of households and the different lengths of time the owners spend in Spain.
⎯ Estimation of the economic impact (production, income and employment) both for each type of
household and for the aggregate of homes sold to foreigners for the 2008-2012 period.

• INDICSER (2010-2012)
The European Commission promotes and funds the INDICSER project of the Seventh Framework Programme,
in which Ivie participates along with seven other European institutions. The starting point of INDICSER was the
EU KLEMS project, in which the Ivie also participated from 2004 to 2008 and which analyzed productivity in
the European Union. Its main objective is to identify and develop a set of indicators to examine how the services
sector affects economic growth. The different indicators constructed will allow international comparison and will
be used to design a better economic and social policy in Europe, among other issues. Various aspects of the
services sector are explored such as productivity, innovation, financial services and environmental issues.
Special attention is also paid to some very relevant subsectors such as finance, health and education, all of
whose output and productivity are particularly complex to estimate.
The research of the INDICSER project is divided into seven areas of work.
During the year 2012, within the area of education, the Ivie worked in collaboration with researchers from the
University of Birmingham to obtain estimates of the output of the post-compulsory education sector in European
countries. Estimates for 27 European countries during the 2005-2009 period were obtained, which combined
