  • Welfare Effects of the Allocation of Airlines in Different Terminals
    The costs of a peak-load demand: An application to Gran Canaria airport Ofelia Betancor Juan Luis Jiménez M. Pilar Socorro Economics of Infrastructure and Transport Group (EIT) Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Colección Estudios Económicos 12-08 Serie Economía de las Infraestructuras CÁTEDRA Fedea – Abertis ISSN 1988-785X www.fedea.es The costs of a peak-load demand: an application to Gran Canaria airport ∗ Ofelia Betancor†, Juan Luis Jiménez, and M. Pilar Socorro Economics of Infrastructure and Transport Group (EIT), Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. March 2008 Abstract Many airports around the world suffer from peak-load demand problems. To meet demand at the peak periods, airports need to over-invest in capacity. However, the costs associated with the peak-load problem are not only those related to the new investment but much more extensive affecting other economic agents. We use data from the airport in Gran Canaria where the peaks in capacity are associated with tourist arrivals and departures. We estimate the costs that demand peaks impose not only on agents located inside the airport, but also to the society in general. The aim of this paper is to provide a methodology for analyzing the costs imposed on those agents and to explore alternative airport policies. Keywords: airports, peak-load demand, costs JEL Classification: L13, L50, L93 ∗ We would like to thank our colleagues Ginés de Rus and Javier Campos for their helpful comments and suggestions. We are also grateful to Alejandro Hermida, Isabel Santana and Augusto Voltes for their assistance.

  • Gran Canaria After a Bus Ride to Santa Cruz, a Ferry Ride to Puerto De Las Nieves and Another Bus Ride, We Arrived in Las Palmas De Gran Canaria
    Gran Canaria After a bus ride to Santa Cruz, a ferry ride to Puerto de las Nieves and another bus ride, we arrived in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria is second to Tenerife in terms of population, most of the people reside in Las Plama, in the northeast corner of the relatively round island. Similar to Tenerife, Gran Canaria experienced several episodes of volcanism. An initial alkali basaltic shield volcanoe (“Old Cycle”) developed very quickly between 14.5 and 14.1 Ma. This was followed by extrusion of large quantities of silicic lava that produced ignimbrites during and following a collapse that produced the Caldera de Tejeda between 14.1 and 13 Ma. This structure is about 20 kms in diameter but only sections of the caldera margin are exposed today. After this, around 13 Ma, there was resurgence of volcanism and a stratovolcano develped in the caldera. Lava flows and ignimbrites emitted from 12.6 to 9 Ma consisted of trachytes and phonolites (silica undersaturated). A related syenite stock and cone sheet dikes formed below the Caldera between 12.3 and 7.3 Ma, resulting in as much as 1,400 meters of uplift in the central zone. A later phase (“Roque Nublo cycle”) took place from 5.6 to 2.9 Ma, after a 3 million year quiescence, and produced less material. The phase started with alkali basaltic to phonolite eruptions (NW-SE fissure), possibly strombolian-type, that created a stratovolcano in the central island. The phase ended with more violent eruptions that generated pyroclastic flows and large quantities of unwelded ignimbrite, the Roque Nublo breccias.

  • El Triptico De Agaete (Gran Canaria) Y Unas Pinturas De Joos Van Cleve Del Kunsthistorisches Museum De Viena
    EL TRIPTICO DE AGAETE (GRAN CANARIA) Y UNAS PINTURAS DE JOOS VAN CLEVE DEL KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM DE VIENA Juan Sebastián LOPEZ GARCIA Joos Van Cleve vuelve a la actualidad al cumplirse el 450 aniversario de su fallecimiento (ca. 1485-Amberes, 1541). Este notable pintor adquiere particular interés para Canarias por la existencia en el archipiélago de piezas atribuidas a su pincel. En el presente trabajo se determinarán los paralelos de una de estas obras, conservada en Gran Canaria y conocida como Triptico de Las Nieves o de Agaete, con otras existentes en el Kunsthistorisches Museum de Viena, cuyo análisis viene a reforzar la más que probable autoría del artista flamenco. Las obras de arte flamenco llegaron abundantemente a las islas durante el siglo XVI, como resultado de unas intensas relaciones comerciales que, nacidas en las ŭltimas décadas del Cuatrocientos, tuvieron en el az ŭcar canario el principal producto de exportación i . Entre estas muestras artísticas destaca el Triptico de Las Nieves, conservado Buen ejemplo lo constituye la entonces ŭnica catedral de las islas, cuyo cabildo no sólo adquirió pinturas y esculturas, sino un par de campanas, un reloj y hasta la madera de borno para el coro; Vid.
