Ivie’s 2022 Annual Report now available!

Ivie created 4 new databases in 2022 and the 5th Valencian Economic Congress marked the comeback to organizing large in-person events

Generating economic data that is readily available to the scientific community, government officials, and society at large is one of the Ivie’s key goals. In order to provide this information, 4 additional databases were included as a result of research in projects developed in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation. These new databases created in 2022 are: Inequality based on individual consumption, Household investment and capital endowments in durable assets, Economic value of human capital and The Size of Cultural, Creative and ICT Activities in Spain.

Along with generating knowledge, the Ivie actively takes part in promoting and supporting the participation of its associates in national and international events. In 2022, the Ivie returned to celebrating large in-person events with the 5th Valencian Economic Congress which was held in two separate sessions, one in Alicante and the other in Valencia. Through the broadcasting of its activities on YouTube and, thus, removing the geographic barrier, the Ivie has been able to reach more people.

Also in a hybrid format, a new edition of the Ernest Lluch Foundation-Ivie Dialogues was held in 2022, which analyzed different approaches to innovation as creative destruction. In addition, the series “2030 Challenges for the Spanish economy and society” continued with four new webinars.

The dissemination of research results has been promoted through the elaboration of 25 press releases and 45 opinion articles published by its researchers. The Ivie keeps a regular presence in the media, with more than 3,000 news items in the press during 2022. Once again, the U-Ranking project stood out with 387 news items collected, as a result of the publication of its annual report and a new Guide for Guidance Counselors and Families. However, the project with the greatest impact in the media with a single distribution was the Report on Financial Inclusion in Spain developed for the Spanish Banking Association (AEB), CECA and the National Union of Credit Cooperatives (UNACC), with 359 news items. Two other studies developed by the Ivie stood out in 2022: the report for Cajamar Group, with a total of 240 references in the media, and the document The Valencian economy… 40 years after the 1982 Statute of Autonomy was approved, carried out for Generalitat Valenciana, with 106.

During 2022, the following brief dissemination documents were published: 4 GECE Analyses for the GECE Observatory, an initiative shared with CaixaBank; 4 GVANext issues of the Valencian Regional Government; and 8 reports on the Monthly Price Evolution of the Valencian Community of the IvieLAB project. Furthermore, 62 research projects were developed during 2022.
