Dear Evgeny,

For Llívia, you can find all the stats about economics, population,
social activities... at

http://www.idescat.net/en/

Select "your town" and then "Llívia" on "municipis". You can find
all you want.

Also, you can obtain a .pdf file with a large amount of stats
selecting "territory" and then "municipal files". Find the Llívia
municipality. You can see the stats on HTML or obtain a .pdf file.

Tell me if you have problems with translations. I can help you.

It could be useful a thesis available on the web at:

Abstract

Half of France, half of Spain or Catalan Cerdanya? Boundaries,
national identities and space of sociability in a Pirinean region
Albert Moncusí Ferré

This thesis has by objective the comprehension of the current impact
of the border division in a Pyrenean region (the Cerdanya valley)
crossed by the spanish-french border since 1659. The text has three
parts. The first one (chapters 1 and 2) presents objectives and
methodology of the research. The same part tells the theoretical
position of the thesis, departing of the arguments of several
authors. The second part (chapters 3 and 4) sets the Cerdanya in the
context of processes of terciarisation, urbanisation, nationalisation
and European unification, which the population of Cerdanya has
experimented. Finally, the third part (chapters 5 and 6) analyses
population's strategies, practical, speeches and interplay situations
in relationship to the topic of national identities and international
frontier. The supported thesis is that terciarisation, urbanisation,
nationalisation and European unification have favoured that
international frontier is a symbolical and unavoidable fact.
Interplay situations reproduce the border symbolical existence by the
construction of daily life around and national identities and the
border as a reality.
