Salvador Mar\u00edn Hernandez, Ph.d.<\/strong> is president and chief executive officer of COFIDES <\/a>(Compa\u00f1ia Espa\u00f1ola del Desarrollo \u201cSpanish Company for the Financing of Development\u201d). COFIDES is a major private-public sector institution which finances the establishment of innovative Spanish firms in virtually all regions of the world. It is closely affiliated with the nation\u2019s Ministry of Commerce, operates at the near \u201cPrime Ministerial\u201d level, and is funded by some of the largest banks in the world (Santander, Banco de Bilbao). It is also Spain\u2019s sovereign wealth fund.<\/p>\n

Academically, Professor Mar\u00edn is a full professor of financial accounting at the University Murcia, where he has served for well over two decades. He has published more than 100 articles on bank accounting and small business in Spain\u2019s most prestigious journals, namely Revista Espa\u00f1ola de Contabilidad<\/em> and Financiacion,\u00a0<\/em>as well as in international journals, which include collaborative work with URI faculty. In addition, he has authored or edited three books, including Contabilidad Bancaria<\/em> (Bank Accounting), Contabilidad Bancaria en Mexico<\/em> (Bank Accounting in Mexico), and Contabilidad Bancaria en el Siglo XXI<\/em> (Bank Accounting in the Twenty First Century).<\/p>\n

Given the recent financial crises in the Spanish speaking world, Professor Marin has studied the impact of financial crisis on the evolution of bank accounting and how bank accounting may impact the creation of pre-crisis \u201cspeculative bubbles.\u201d Much of this work has been coauthored with URI accounting faculty, most notably Dr. Alejandro Hazera.<\/p>\n

In Spain, Mar\u00edn has been at the forefront of not only banking, but the development of small and medium size businesses in both Spain and Latin America. He is a major player in FAEDPYME<\/a> (Fundacion Para el Analisis Estrategico de la Pequena y Mediana Empresa\u2014Foundation for the Strategic Analysis of Small and Medium Size Enterprises), an organization which analyzes business strategies for small and medium size business all over the world, especially in Spanish-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

Mar\u00edn\u2019s work has not only won praise from influential policy makers, but has placed him in the middle of policy making itself. In the middle 2000s, Mar\u00edn was appointed to head the Region\u2019s Economists Association. Based on his administration and research with this organization, in 2008 the governor of Murcia named Mar\u00edn the minister of higher education, and later the region\u2019s finance minister. When Spain\u2019s financial crisis began (2009-2010), Mar\u00edn was tapped to head COFIDES. This was considered a major appointment since Spain\u2019s government recognized that the economy could only improve by increasing the nation\u2019s entrepreneurship, innovation, and export capabilities.<\/p>\n

During his visit, Mar\u00edn will conduct a general lecture on the measures that have been taken by the Spanish government to reverse the nation\u2019s financial crisis, the measures\u2019 impact on Spanish society, and the sudden the appearance of new political parties, such as Podemos<\/em> (a movement which preceded the U.S. \u201cOccupy Wall Street\u201d movement). He will also conduct \u201ctechnical\u201d lectures regarding finance, banking, and trade to classes and special audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
