Description
Summary:The economic recession has had a big impact on businesses in our country decisively affecting the development patterns of their activity, among which are included policies for hiring and firing, expansion projects, sales volume and even the continuation or ending of the own business activity. However, these changes have not occurred evenly among the different branches of economic activity or with the same form and intensity in different areas of the Spanish geography. This differential intensity with which the economic crisis has affected the companies located in different Spanish regions is the focus of the analysis of this article. The database used is the Central Companies Directory, elaborated by the Spanish Statistical Office. In order to analyze the business dynamics, the authors obtained the number of companies by year, region, sector of activity and legal regime, and they work them using simple and accumulated variation rates. They have found that the business dynamics at regional level is heterogeneous, distinguishing different patterns among them before and during the crisis.
