Abstract

The critical problem of decline in economic activity and unemployment in Spain has its reflection in the vicious circle generated by bankruptcy, proxied in this paper by the legal figure of the “concurso de acreedores”. This work studies the phenomenon from a geographical point of view to analyze the possible contagion effect between provinces. The results show that bankruptcy does not spread affecting other companies in the construction sector but this effect is effectively verified in the industrial sector, which is the one that contributes to generate a contagion effect in the economy viewed as a whole. This contagion is verified only in the years before the crisis, whereas in the recession period it seems there seem to be stronger and alternative negative macroeconomic factors that affect all businesses than contagion itself, as this last one can be considered a firm-specific effect that impacts each company depending on the neighbor companies the firm has relationship with.// El gravísimo problema de caída de la actividad económica y desempleo en España encuentra un fiel reflejo en el círculo vicioso que genera el cierre de empresas, aproximado en este trabajo por la figura legal del concurso de acreedores. Este artículo se propone examinar el fenómeno desde un punto de vista geográfico para analizar el posible contagio entre provincias. Los resultados muestran que no hay efecto contagio del fracaso en el sector de la construcción, pero sí en el industrial. Es en este sector donde se contagia a la economía vista en su conjunto, pero sólo para los años anteriores a la crisis. En el periodo de recesión parece que tienen más fuerza los factores macroeconómicos negativos que afectan a la totalidad de las empresas que el contagio, que es un efecto particular que ejercen sobre cada compañía las empresas próximas con las que tiene relación
