Artifacts for "Living on a Diet: A Brief Study of the Daily Allowances of Spanish Public Workers"

The amount of this compensation, known as per diem or daily allowance, varies with the destination country and is defined in an official table set by the government in 2002. This study examines the adequacy of these allowances by comparing them to current accommodation and meal costs, defining a score to find countries where researchers can attend conferences without incurring financial loss.

Our results show that only 55 countries offer neutral or positive results, highlighting the need to update the official table to suit current cost of living conditions.
