8.4. THE SPANISH PUBLIC SECTOR
The database Regional differences in the Spanish public sector is part of a research project carried out by the
BBVA Foundation and the Ivie which has a double objective. First, to generate new fresh information on the
public-sector performance in Spain and its regions. Second, to analyze the data obtained in order to gain a
more detailed picture of the extent of its performance, the reasons underlying regional differences and their
effect on inter-territorial solidarity and economic efficiency.
The database, available at the BBVA Foundation website (http://www.fbbva.es), contains regionalized data for
the period 2000-2008 and covers information on the size the public sector in each region and its territorial
distribution by levels of government, by functions and by revenue and expenditure items.
8.5. HUMAN CAPITAL IN SPAIN AND ITS REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION
The results obtained from the Human Capital project undertaken by the Ivie in collaboration with the Bancaja
Foundation improve the statistical information already available on human capital and have enabled the Ivie to
create a database that contains abundant information on the evolution of the Spanish population’s educational
levels.
