AIMS:
The main aim of this course is that students grasp the theoretical concepts and common methodology of
accounting as a system of information for economic units. As this is the first subject of the degree which
students will take, it will furnish them with enough knowledge to tackle the rest of the course’s subjects.
A process of international harmonisation of accounting practices is currently underway, based on the plans
of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and within its international regulations. This
process will directly affect the European Union and thus Spain. As an introduction to the basics of
Financial Accounting, this subject cannot shy away from this reality. Therefore, it will focus on the
conceptual framework of the accounting model set out in the IASB’s international regulations.
At the same time, it will explore the field of company Financial and External Accounting so that, on an
initial level, students can solve any problems in this field.

AIMS:
In his History of Economic Analysis, J.A. Schumpeter defines economists by their command of three
disciplines: economic history, statistics, and economic theory. Economic history shows students the most
representative forms of economic organisation of the different stages of the history of humanity. Following
Schumpeter and other prestigious economists, it is our understanding that this subject is essential in the
training of economists for at least the following reasons:
1.
Some of the keys to understanding the characteristics and problems of present-day society can be
found in the process of its formation. Assessing the economy from this perspective may likewise aid us in
finding possible solutions to those problems.
2.
The relation between economic organisation and economic growth in the different periods of history
permits us to make useful observations concerning the temporal and spatial causes of the pace of
development.
3.
Among other tools, economic history uses economic theory to analyse and comprehend how past
societies functioned. The debate concerning the problems derived from this application is of much interest
from an educational perspective. From this viewpoint, economic history may be seen as an appropriate
testing ground for contrasting the results of the theoretical observations of economists, while at the same
time contributing to its advancement.
4.
Since it confronts students with a great variety of social organisations and theoretical and practical
problems which arise when attempting to understand them, it is of much interest for the training of
professionals who will work within a society in constant change, requiring an open and flexible education in
order to be able to adapt to that society.

To gain a knowledge of the economist’s basic tools which permit him to assess the structure and
functioning of the national economy using its figures. To that end, the basic concepts and sources will be
presented, and exercises will be performed to extract the relevant information from national accounts.
Each lesson includes an explanation of the subject content, as well as exercises which aid in learning
those concepts while giving them practical application. The student’s initiative in solving these exercises
in class will be taken into account. Likewise, other practical exercises and projects will be proposed,
comprising a part of the student’s final mark.

The main aim of this course is the study of contemporary economies which are linked to industry-led
economic growth. The programme begins with an introduction (Chapt. 1) which will break down the general
features of economic growth during the 20th century. From there, we will look at the two great historical
economic junctures between the wars (Chapt. 2-4) and the post-Second World War period (Chapt. 5-8).
For each juncture, distinction will be made between developed economies, centrally planned economies
and backward or developing economies. Two specific topics will also be devoted to analysing the Spanish
economy.

AIMS:
The principal objective of this subject, taught within the Curriculum of Studies during the second quarter of
the first year in the degree programme, is to provide students with a knowledge of how to apply the content
of the General Accounting Plan (GAP), as it relates to the material studied during the first quarter in
“Foundations of Accounting”, its specific objectives being linked to that course.
From this perspective, we will show the GAP as an accounting model developed from the Basic Model for
Calculation of Values, based on which students should be able to identify the content of each of the parts
in which that text is divided and, in accordance with its principles and rules of valuation, to develop a
complete accounting cycle and prepare annual accounts.

AIMS:
This course seeks to show students the importance and utility of statistical methods applied in the
economic-business environment. To that end, students should learn to use the most appropriate methods
and techniques for the correct processing and analysis of information provided by the data generated by
economic activity.
To do so, we will begin by consolidating students’ knowledge of unidimensional and bidimensional
descriptive statistics (Parts I and II of the Programme), while moreover introducing new concepts related
to the area of economics, such as measures of concentration and index numbers (Part III). Part IV will
provide an introduction to probability theory from its most basic principles, analyzing in detail the discrete
and continuous distributions most frequently used in economics.
Development of the course
The course will be taught in four weekly sessions during the second quarter, and will include both
theoretical material and practical exercises.
Evaluation
The final mark will be calculated by adding the mark obtained on the final exam in June to the marks on the
voluntary theoretical and practical projects which will be assigned during the course. These marks will be
taken into account provided that the mark obtained on the exam is at least 3,5 or above.
Mark for voluntary projects: 0,5 maximum points
Mark for practical exercises: 1,5 maximum points

AIMS:
This course concerns the most relevant economic relations between countries: commercial exchange and
financial transactions. Based on trade figures and the financial flows of the last few years, we will analyse
the causes explaining trade; the economic policy measures which may interfere with trade; how the
exchange rate is fixed; and finally, the implact of the increasing worldwide commercial and financial
interdependence of national economies.
In order to do so, we will use theoretical elements which, with a view to underscoring concepts, will be
illustrated with practical examples and comments concerning real data and the latest tendencies in
commercial and financial policy. The charts and readings to be discussed for each class will be available
at the school’s photocopy centre.

The fundamental objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic concepts of statistical
inference, i.e., to the development of the mathematical methods of statistics to test hypotheses or
characteristics of a population using the information provided by data. In addition to the techniques of
classical statistics, the goal is to develop recent estimation methods which are in general use.
A deeper understanding of the foundations of STATISTICAL METHODS will be provided, as well as the
calculation of probabilities and sampling theory.

AIMS:
The subject Public Finance I introduces students to the study of the public sector's economic role. This
theme is continued in the subjects Public Finance II, Public Economics I and Public Economics II, as well
as in the optional subjects in the specialised study of "Public Economy" that is taught in the second cycle
of the Economics Degree. The subject is therefore designed as an initial introduction to the theory of
Public Economics.
It aims to give students the conceptual and analytical tools to allow them to understand the reasons for
public intervention in the economy and the operation of the intervening political institutions. The aim is to
give students the necessary education to deal with, in future studies, the analysis of the most
characteristic public actions in developed economies: public spending and taxation programmes,
economic regulation, decentralisation of the public sector, public management techniques, redistributive
policies, or the latest reform movements in the public sector.
The programme is structured into six lessons. The first lesson introduces students to Public Economics
as a scientific discipline and to the public sector as an object of one of its lines of study. The second
lesson deals with the study of the regulatory analysis tools. This lesson seeks to define the general
framework that enables students to organise ideas on the appeal of different public actions. Lessons three
and four analyse the theory of the two main market mistakes: public goods and externalities. The lessons
will focus on the features, economic problems and intervention tools through which distortions that occur
in the economic system may be corrected. The fifth lesson covers the methodology of cost-benefit
analysis as the main practical tool to evaluate and support decision-making regarding public expenditure
policies. Finally, the sixth lesson deals with studying public intervention from a positive perspective. The
lesson highlights the problems inherent to the process of collective choice, both those generated by the
imperfections of different voting rules and those derived from the behaviour of the participating agents in
this process.
CURRICULUM:
Lesson 1: The Public Sector and the Public Economy
Lesson 2: Regulatory analysis tools
Lesson 3: Public property
Lesson 4: Externalities
Lesson 5: Cost benefit analysis

AIMS:
The "Economic Policy" course is a part of the programme of studies toward the degree in Economics which
includes a series of subjects whose objective is to analyse the causes, objectives, implementation and
consequences of the intervention of the public sector in market economies. Thus, this course on
"Economic Policy" is principally related to three other courses in the second-year programme: "Public
Finance I" which analyses market failures which justify public intervention, and "Macroeconomics I and
II" which provide the basic theoretical knowledge of different markets and of the calculation of national
income. Dealing with such broad issues, it is logical that each subject will concentrate on the analysis of
certain specific aspects of public intervention. In that regard, "Economic Policy" is devoted preferably to
the study of the short and long-term objectives of public intervention, examining their significance and
measurement, the economic theories which support these objectives and the general policies for achieving
them.
After completing this course, students will have sufficient knowledge to continue in the second cycle with
other subjects which are also related to public intervention in the economy. Thus, during the third year, the
course in "Current Policy I" will examine implementation policies (monetary, fiscal, exchange rate,
income) and the course "Current Policy II" will analyse sectorial policies (industrial, commercial,
agricultural) as well as those devoted to the objective of economic growth (involving technology, human
resources and infrastructures). Finally, the course on "Economic Policy" will provide a good starting point
for the study of other practical subjects such as "The Spanish Economy", "The Economics of the European
Union" and "International Economics".
CURRICULUM:
The subject is divided into THREE PARTS.
In the FIRST, Economic Policy is introduced by means of an initial, conceptual approach, followed by an
overview of the schools of economic thought revolving around government intervention in the economy. A
study is made of the traditional idea of both long and short-term Economic Policy objectives-instruments
according to the different schools of thought. Subsequently, the problems involved in public sector
decision-making and the forces conditioning choice of Economic Policy instruments will be analysed.
In the SECOND PART, short-term Economic Policy objectives (full employment, inflation, and balance of
trade) will be analysed, taking into account their conception, indicators, theory, and possible conflicts
between them.
The THIRD PART deals with the analysis of long term Economic Policy objectives (growth, distribution of
wealth, quality of life, and the environment); as with short-term objectives, this takes into account their
conception, indicators, theory, and possible conflicts between them.
Upon completion of each part PRACTICAL CLASSES will be held.

EVALUATION:
There are two modes of assessment depending on whether or not students choose to undertake practical
activities.
IF STUDENTS WISH TO DO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES, they must complete the activities assigned for
each part of the subject, contributing a maximum of three points towards the final assessment. The
remainder of the assessment will consist of a multiple-choice exam where the basic concepts of the
subject will be tested. This exam will be out of ten points.
IF STUDENTS DO NOT WISH TO DO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES, assessment of the subject will be made
by means of a multiple-choice exam with a pass mark of 5 out of 10. In addition, there will be an optional
written exercise for these students to be corrected in the case where they obtain a mark equal to or
greater than 4.5 but under 5. Participation by these students in practical classes will also be taken into
account, even though they have not undertaken the practical activities programme.

AIMS:
Given that this course lasts for one term, and in order not to separate the general theory from the major
sociological problems, from the outset, students will be encouraged to deal with a specific social situation,
not necessarily here and now. In groups of 5, students will work on socio-economic aspects of any small
city anywhere in the world. Research carried out will be worth 40% of the subject. The idea is that the
other 60% will be awarded through continuous assessment, without restricting the students from taking an
oral or written exam on it.
The topics covered, given the short duration of the course, will not be fixed and to simply memorise.
Instead they will be extensive and will change each year, depending on the most current social issues at
the time. All of the programmes' lessons may not be covered. The official legal required level as stated in
the current regulation of industrial and sociology of work will always be covered.

AIMS:
The "Market Analysis" course is optional in the first cycle and represents 6 credits in the Economics
degree programme.
The fundamental objective of this course is to provide students with a basic knowledge of markets and
their environment, to enable them to analyse and take the essential commercial decisions.
The course programme commences by presenting the introductory concepts of marketing, to later
approach more specific subjects concerning the environment, markets and demand. Subsequently, content
including market segmentation, market research and consumer behaviour will be presented, later adding
four lessons concerning the four classic variables of marketing, in which product policy, advertising,
pricing and business distribution will be analysed respectively. Finally, the programme includes two
lessons devoted to the analysis of the procedures for developing an international market strategy and a
marketing plan. The presentation of the subject matter will be complemented with practical examples, as
well as exercises and cases to be solved by students in order to stimulate active participation in the
classroom through the expression of opinions and open debate.
As for the system of evaluation, there will be a final examination with questions on theory and practical
exercises to evaluate the knowledge students have acquired. To be able to take the exam, students must
have prepared and turned in the practical exercises assigned by the professors of the course during the
semester. The final mark may be raised based on students' active participation in the classroom when
practical cases are solved.

AIMS:
This course provides an introduction to the economics of taxation and has a double objective: on the one
hand it seeks to complement the knowledge gained in Public Finance I and, on the other, to serve as a
foundation for subsequent courses in Public Economics and Tax Systems.
The course is divided into three parts. In the first, the basic concepts of the subject are introduced,
defining and classifying taxes, describing the principles of taxation and systematising the elements of the
structure of taxes.
The second part concerns the most significant taxes in any fiscal system -personal income tax, corporate
income tax and value-added tax- choosing the most relevant problems which they pose for tax specialists.
These problems are approached by conducting a theoretical analysis, but also by examining the solution
chosen in each case by the Spanish legislator. In the second part, tax evasion and fraud will be examined.
Finally, the third part of the programme looks at the spatial dimension of taxation. Lesson seven analyses
-once again, from a double theoretical and practical perspective- the problems arising from the existence
of different tax systems in different states.

AIMS:
Public Economics deals with the economic analysis of the presence of the state in civil society. Among the
many forms which that presence may take are those which have a direct effect on budgets through taxes
and spending measures, as well as those which regulate the activity of economic agents. In this course,
Public Economics I, students are provided with a conceptual and analytical overview which completes the
introduction provided in the previous course Public Finance I. In this course the economic theory of
taxation and public spending will be studied with a view to achieving a better understanding of the nature of
economics and the effects of income and spending programmes. Together with the preceding subject and
Public Economics II in the next quarter with which it is paired, this subject provides a basic knowledge of
the economics of the public sector which, for those students who wish to do so, may be complemented with
additional optional courses offered in the corresponding area of specialisation.
CURRICULUM:
PART I: THEORY OF TAXATION
Lesson 1.- Introduction to the theory of taxation
Lesson 2.- Principles of taxation and the optimum tax system
Lesson 3.- Distributive impact of taxation
Lesson 4.- Effects of tax incentives
PART II: THEORY OF PUBLIC SPENDING
Lesson 5.- Effects of public spending incentives
Lesson 6.- Distributive impact of public spending
EVALUATION:
Assessment will be by means of two alternate systems. At the start of the module, students must choose
to follow one or the other:
First system: this has the sole requirement of one written exam in which the student must write essays to
answer a series of questions with a theoretical and practical nature
Second system: in this case the student’s final result will be obtained through the assessment of two
separate sections:
a) the result for the first section will be obtained by means of an essay and presentation/discussion in
class for each of the questions and exercises set by the lecturer after explaining a topic
b) the result for the second section is obtained by means of an exam in which students must write essays
to answer a series of theory and practical questions. A result lower than 4 in this section will mean the
subject has been failed and it will not be possible to combine it with the mark from the first section to
obtain an average.
Detailed conditions for inclusion in the second assessment system will be given by the lecturer in the first
classes.

AIMS:
Broadening knowledge of the self-evident basis of consumer theory, the development of which will place
special emphasis on issues such as duality, the problem of integrability of differential equations of
preferences and on restrictions on demand functions. Wider analysis of the consumer-worker setting
allows the plotting of work supply curves and income demand in Robbins’ terms. Here, income earned with
productive effort varies in the same way as individual welfare. Under different axioms, the theories of
Neumann-Morgenstern utility and revealed preference complete the consumer framework.
CURRICULUM:
Topic 1. Additions to the consumer-worker, production and market theories. Model suppositions and
construction.
Topic 2. Income distribution and equilibrium in the consumer goods market system (taking production
decisions as given).
Topic 3. Existence, unique nature and stability of equilibrium in the consumer goods market system.
Topic 4. Social indifference curves, income distribution and the problem of social preference transitivity.
(I). Consumer equilibrium in terms of social indifference curves.
Appendix (optional). Chamberlin’s large and small “groups”.
EVALUATION:
Students will complete a final exam, the assessment of which will also take into account the marking of
exercises put forward and outlined during the course.

AIMS:
The subject aims to analyse the factors that help generate long-term economic growth. Understanding
these factors will enable students to understand how they can and should develop efficiently the public
interventions aimed at achieving economic stability and growth.
Therefore, the first topic will reflect on the importance of the trend of economic growth and its impact on
development.
Topics two to five will cover some of the most important growth factors: investment in physical capital,
human capital, technology and institutions. In addition, this topic will examine economic policies that
encourage their accumulation.
Although, throughout the whole programme, special attention will be paid to Spanish case studies, topic
six proposes a more detailed study of the structural factors of the Spanish economy, with an analysis of its
special features and economic policies that best fit its needs.

EVALUATION:
ASSESSMENT:
The final mark of the subject is based on both the examination and the practical work. The multiple choice
exam will be worth 7.75 points and the practical work 2.25 points. To pass the subject, it is essential to
score at least 40% in the examination, i.e. 3.10 points. The practical work system is detailed below.
PRACTICAL WORK:
The subject's practical work is designed to help clarify the theory concepts. Thus, carrying out this
assignment will serve to support or rebut ideas, using empirical evidence.
The data to conduct the assignments is available in an Excel document on the subject's website within the
folder for each assignment. It is easy to download and handle the Excel data. In addition to the data, each
Excel document contains an additional sheet with the definitions and sources of the variables used.
Students who have never used Excel can consult introductory guidelines for the programme, also available
on the subject's website. Students who are already familiar with Excel but have some doubts about the
commands needed to carry out the practical work will find the tips useful that are provided at the end of
each sentence.
The assessment of the subject's group assignment is worth 2.25 points. There are two options:
1. Voluntary attendance and completing a group work assignment choosing from topics 1 to 5 of the
subject.
Students interested in this system must inform the tutor their intention to do so, so that groups can be
organised in sufficient time. To do so, send an email to Lecturer Gregory Gimenez through his Digital
Teaching Ring account. In the body of the message include, in capital letters:
SURNAME, NAME
GROUP TO WHICH STUDENT BELONGS
Example:
GÓMEZ GARCÍA, MARÍA ELENA
GROUP 36
The deadline to send the email for enrolment will be 25 February. After this date, it will be assumed that
students who have not sent a mail to the Digital Teaching Ring opt for the non-attendance system
Once students wishing to do so have enrolled, the work groups will be assigned, as well as the assignment
for each group. This allocation will be done exclusively by surname; groups may not be formed to the
student's discretion nor can the assignment to be completed be chosen. The number of people in each
working group will depend on the total number registered.
In this system, class attendance will be taken with an attendance sheet, about 0.75 points, prorated by
the number of practical sessions the student has attended, in relation to the total number of course
sessions, which will take place on Thursdays between March 6 and May 22.
The group practical work is to be submitted, without exception, on the date specified for each group in
order to be assessed. As follows:

The group members will present the conclusion of their work in class during their assigned session. The
work will be worth 1.5 points, taking into account the quality of the work and its presentation. Each group
member will receive the same mark. Failure to submit work on the agreed date will result in zero points.
Thus, in total, the practical work will have a potential joint value of 2.25 points.
While the students who choose this option must only submit and present in class the assignment that they
have worked on with their group (one document signed by all group members), all students attending
practical classes must read and understand the other groups' assignments.
During the practical classes in which the students work is presented, questions will be answered and
press-related material will be read connected with subjects dealt with in the theory classes.

AIMS:
At present we are currently witnessing an extension of political decentralization throughout the world. To
the classic federations of the United States, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and Australia, recently
numerous developing or developed countries have been added, one of them being Spain.
Territorial organisation in various levels having autonomous decision-making powers gives rise to many
challenges for the public economy: How should the functions of the public sector be distributed among the
different levels of government? How should the fiscal resources of a country be allotted among the central
and regional governments? What role should transfers among jurisdictions play in a decentralised state?
The branch of Public Economics which seeks to address these questions is known as the Economics of
Fiscal Federalism. Thus, in this course a course in fiscal federalism will be offered in both its theoretical
and practical aspects. The first part of the programme will introduce the basic results of the theory of
distribution of functions and income among the different levels of government. The second part will deal
with the economic problems associated with decentralisation arising from the Spanish Constitution of
1978, examining the levels of government presently existing in our country: central, regional and local.
CURRICULUM:
PART I. THE ECONOMIC THEORY OF DECENTRALISATION
Lesson 1.- Economic arguments in favour of decentralisation: distribution of the functions of the public
sector among different levels of government
Lesson 2.- Determining the optimum size of the jurisdictions providing public goods and services
Lesson 3.- Distribution of resources and income among the different levels of government (I): taxes and
fees
Lesson 4.- Distribution of resources and income among the different levels of government (II): transfers
PART II.
Lesson 5.Lesson 6.Lesson 7.Lesson 8.-
DECENTRALISATION IN SPAIN

AIMS:
Commencing with the model constructed in Microeconomics III, the technical study of production will be
extended by incorporating the production functions of each industry (in terms of the production functions of
the companies of which it is composed), analysing the production possibilities frontier of the economy
based on the scaled output and the intensity of factors. Once the equilibrium of the factors market system
and the equilibrium curve for the production sector (ECPS) have been determined, the results obtained in
Micro III will enable us to establish the equilibrium curve for the consumer sector (ECCS), which together
with the ECPS will provide an explanation for "general" equilibrium with rigid factor offers, as well as the
process of tatonnement which through the bons of Walras facilitate recontracting in a competitive economy
with production. That general equilibrium is subsequently formulated as a tangential situation between the
transformation curve of the economy and a social indifference curve on a transitive chart (which obliges us
to adopt very restrictive hypotheses concerning social preferences). Later, the normative properties of
general equilibrium will be examined, underscoring how the "great theorem" of welfare economics shows
that a perfectly competitive market satisfies all of the conditions of the Pareto optimum for a classic
environment. Finally, an (optional) appendix will be added to study the imperfections of the mechanisms of
the market within the framework of general equilibrium.
CURRICULUM:
Lesson 1. Technical aspects of the production sector and possible forms of the transformation curve.
Lesson 2. Equilibrium of the factor market system.
Lesson 3. Equilibrium curves of the consumer sector and the production sector.
Lesson 4. General equilibrium with rigid supply factors and Walsarian rules of dual adjustment of the
tatonnement process in an economy with production.
Lesson 5. Social indifference curves, income distribution and the problem of transitivity of social
preferences (II). General equilibrium with rigid supply factors in terms of social indifference curves.
Lesson 6. Normative properties of general equilibrium.
Appendix (optional). Imperfections of market mechanics in the framework of general equilibrium.

AIMS:
The aim is for students to learn to correctly use a series of tools for data analysis and simulation which will
enable them to confidently approach decision-making within an economic context. First, the techniques of
exploratory data analysis will examined, teaching students to explore data series to determine their most
relevant characteristics. Subsequently, students will be taught to design models of economic systems and
to test them for use in simulation. Once these tests have been run, the results will be interpreted to
determine the decision which should be taken within the system under study.
This course is essentially practical in nature and will teach students to use different computer tools (SPSS
and EXCEL) to carry out exploratory data analysis using a series of data and to simulate economic
models. For that reason, classes of a theoretical nature will be alternated with practical exercises in which
some of the examples examined in class will be implemented in the computer.
Criteria for evaluation
To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and given the practical nature of the course, an on-going
learning process is essential. Thus, in order to complete this course, students' continued attendance in
class will be required to enable the professor to evaluate their progress in assimilating the material being
taught.
There are two means for passing this course: by taking a final examination or by conducting a group
project which simulates the behaviour of a economic system and which must be presented in class. In
addition, throughout the course other voluntary projects will be suggested to be carried out individually
and which will contribute to the final mark obtained in the course.

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the complex subjects of economic growth and
development, which require establishing basic concepts, and justifying and studying the more simple
models such as Domar’s, Harrod’s, Solow’s, and the bisectorial model of Uzawa. Together with the study of
cycles and optimal growth, the course will end with a review of the recent developments in endogenous
growth.

EVALUATION:
This subject will be assessed by taking into account the result obtained in the final exam, in addition to
those obtained in the two revision tests sat during the course, set exercises, and attendance. The final
exam has a weighting of 70% of total assessment.
All students are to do an assignment consisting of the analysis of data and characteristics corresponding
to the economic growth of a country other than Spain. The choice of country is left to students and the
activity may be carried out individually or in pairs. Only one country is allowed per assignment with
coordination in the hands of the lecturer. The assignment will have a minimum length of 15 A4 pages and
will contribute a maximum of 1.5 points to the final mark.
Additionally, each student may choose topics of his/her own interest, or extend the study of the previously
studied country in a new assignment. These assignments will allow the final mark to be raised, provided
that this, taking in the exam mark and other prerequisites, has reached a total of 4 points.

AIMS:
This course on the Economics of Social Policy seeks to address the basic issues of social policy using the
tools of economic analysis. Two clarifications should be offered before explaining the programme in greater
detail. First, the course attempts to demonstrate that economics may play an important role in the study of
problems which have traditionally been approached from non-economic perspectives. But secondly, the
course also seeks to highlight the normative content of social policy, identifying when possible the limits
of economic analysis.
The objective of the course is logically to study a series of benefits and services that are fundamentally
provided by the public sector and which are generally grouped under the heading of social spending or the
welfare state. However, the relevant presence of the private sector in areas such as education, housing,
health care and, more recently, pensions requires taking into consideration the social problems beyond an
analysis of the public sector in the strict sense. Thus we must consider quasi-markets in education, of
competition among for-profit and non-profit hospitals, of management systems for social services and of
the rental-housing market which is overwhelmingly in private hands.
The program is composed of five lessons divided into two parts. The first part, Economic Foundations of
Social Policy, offers an integrated perspective of social policy by presenting the theoretical bases and the
analytical tools which economics provides and which are indispensable in the subsequent study of each of
the social benefits and services. Therefore we will study the theory of externalities and its correction
mechanisms, the problems arising from uncertainty and its coverage in the insurance markets and the
relations between social policy and the objectives of equity and justice. The constant goal is to relate
theoretical developments to social services and benefits by using specific examples and applications, as
is the case involving externalities in education, health care or housing, or in the insurance markets with
regard to pensions or unemployment. This first part is complemented with a study of the behaviour of
voters, politicians, bureaucrats and pressure groups, and its impact on the volume and composition of
social programmes, while at the same time proposing a revision of the functions, benefits and costs of the
modern welfare states, attempting to project present tendencies onto the horizon of their financial
feasibility.
The second part concerning the Economics of Social Services in a Welfare State undertakes a full analysis
of three of the principal social policy programmes: health care, education and housing. Naturally, the
problems discussed in each case certainly do not exhaust subjects such as health economics or
educational economics. However, the approach is always the same: to analyse the behaviour of demand,
the conditions of supply, the structure and degree of competition in the market, the problems of efficiency
and equity, and public intervention. Thus, emphasis will be placed on the characteristics of the markets,
and analysing each of the above-mentioned areas in detail will require a deeper knowledge of what may be
termed the technology of the sector -education, health care and housing-; the economic evaluation of
alternative techniques for treating heart failure, the measurement of the output of educational centres or
the application of hedonic prices in housing are problems, which can only be treated with rigor by
economists if they have the cooperation of the corresponding experts in these matters. This is not what we
are seeking. But at the end of the course, students should be capable of determining which analytical
instruments should be used in each case and the limitations of their "toolbox".

AIMS:
This subject is taught in the first term of the Degree in Economy’s third year and is optional. In the
degree’s diploma stage, students will have taken the compulsory subjects “Public taxation I” and “Public
Economy I”. In these, justification was given from a theoretical point of view for public sector intervention
in the economy due to market failings, as well as because of pressure from interested parties. In this
subject, students will learn the structure and workings of the Spanish public sector. The programme begins
by rationalising public sector presence in the economy, both on a central government and subcentral
administration (autonomous communities and local authorities) level. Lastly, a topic will be devoted to the
study of state-owned companies.
CURRICULUM:
Topic 1. Definition, organisation and dimension of the Spanish public sector.
1.1. The role of the public sector: aims and means
1.2. Institutional organisation
1.3. The public sector dimension
Topic 2. General state budgets

3.1. Economic dimension
3.2. Expenditure, income and public deficit
3.3. General Budgets for 2006
Topic 4. The public deficit and its financing
4.1. Definition and dimension of the deficit
4.2. The Budgetary Stability law
4.3. The financing of the public deficit. Public debt

6.3. Local authorities
Topic 7. State-owned companies
7.1. Institutional demarcation, historical background and current organisation of the state-owned company
sector.
7.2. Privatisation.
7.3. Public financing institutions.
EVALUATION:
Assessment will be through an end-of-term written exam, in which students must attain a minimum of 5/10
mark in order to pass and which will represent 80% of their final mark. The remaining 20% will be awarded
depending on participation in class debates and public presentations on suggested topics. Participation in
class will be compulsory in this respect.

AIMS:
Welfare economics is the branch of microeconomics devoted to explaining the level of collective welfare
which a society enjoys. It seeks to provide answers to the following questions: Once resources
corresponding to a situation of equilibrium have been alloted, what can be said of the properties of
optimality from a social perspective? Is that the best possible allotment for society? In summary, the

AIMS:
This subject should provide students with a test of their maturity in the last stage of their degree
programme. The specific objective of this study is the present situation of the Spanish economy which will
be examined from a double perspective. First, the most reliable current reports will be studied, and on that
basis students should be able to demonstrate their knowledge and capacity to analyse the keys to
economic trends. Second, those who wish to complete their training (which will be reflected in the final
mark) may read one of the books listed in the "Selected Readings" section of the course Bibliography. A
2-3 page summary and critical commentary should be submitted to be discussed in class in groups formed
for that purpose. These discussions will be held commencing after Easter Week, but before 15 March
students should indicate the title of the book chosen, submitting a file card with photo at the Department,
indicating the title of the book and the date the paper will be turned in.

AIMS:
This subject is aimed at studying the economic features that characterise the Autonomous Region of
Aragon. Aragon will be studied in relation to the rest of Spain and in the new context that implies the
growth of the economic integration process, following the achievement of the Monetary Union, which has
allowed the introduction of the euro and the further enlargement of the EU to twenty-seven members after
the incorporation of Bulgaria and Romania. A new institutional framework is taking shape where economic
activity in each Spanish region is developing. This in turn coexists in an increasingly globalised world,
however, with advanced decentralisation in the provision of public goods as a result of the development of
autonomous processes.
Examples of additional subject areas that are dealt with throughout the subjects of Economic Policy,
Analysis and Structure are: the spatial distribution of macromagnitudes and their evolution over time
resulting in disparities, the location of economic activities in territories that are increasingly affected by
processes of outsourcing, or the study of regional policy objectives. This study focuses on economic
activities in the territory of the Autonomous Region of Aragon: our immediate environment.

AIMS:
An overview of the current economic situation. The course also allows the professor to reach a higher level
of communication than was possible in other subjects with a greater degree of abstraction. However,
seeking to approach the economic realities of our country may prompt us to commit the error of converting
Spanish Economy into a descriptive course, reducing it to a succession of data without any theoretical
content. This is not our objective; at all times all explanations of economic reality must be accompanied
by a theoretical framework which will enable students to reason based on the instruments at their disposal.

AIMS:
To advance the knowledge of theoretical bases of money supply and demand and the workings of monetary
economies. Students will be instructed in the different concepts of money in the various schools of
thought, and on this basis, study the workings of money supply and demand. The study of a monetary
economy corresponds to an open economy and analysis of the strong interrelations and influences arising
from capital flow and the workings of the currency markets.

EVALUATION:
The assessment for this subject will be divided into two parts: the results obtained from tests given upon
completion of each topic as the course progresses (70%) and the results obtained from an assignment
(30%). The final exam (out of 7 points) will be for those students who do not pass the coursework, or for
those students who wish to raise the marks obtained through the partial exams and assignment.
All students are to do an assignment consisting of an analysis of monetary policy, inflation, exchange
rates, interest rates, or any phenomenon associated with them, from a list of countries or topics prepared
by the lecturer.
The assignment may deal with the evolution of a specific financial or monetary problem. The choice will be
left up to the student; the assignment will be individual, and only one topic or country may be analysed
individually. The lecturer will coordinate work and monitor assignment preparation. Students will have at
least three meetings with the lecturer before the work is accepted for reading. In the first meeting, the
student is to present the project and justify his/her interest in the country or topic. In the second, the work
in progress is to be presented with the purpose of redirecting it, or modifying the scope of the different
parts of the assignment, if necessary. In the third meeting, the student must submit a CD and hard copy of
the finished work for modification or correction, if this is deemed appropriate. This meeting will be held in
tutorial hours, before 3rd May; the deadline for final submission will be 10th May. The assignment will have
a minimum length of 10 A4 pages, and will be presented to the class as of 17th May.

AIMS:
AIMS:
Rigorously interpret the territorial dimension inherent in all economic situations.
This implies that the teaching and learning of the subject must be directed at three basic and
complementary aspects:
1. Intellectual:
-. Understand the spatial logic of economic activities through theoretical analysis and applied reasoning.
-. Identify Spanish territorial dynamics and explain them through various theoretical and conceptual
frameworks.
-. Understand the territorial policies and be capable of assessing any public intervention.
2. Methodology:
-. Use concepts, paradigms and other contents of the subject rigorously until students can use and
understand these concepts with ease.
-. Ability to search for bibliographic information and statistics, know how to apply and assess their quality.
-. Read with a critical eye, interpret and reflect on scientific and educational texts that address issues of
economic geography.
-. Effectiveness and clarity when communicating arguments.
3. Attitudes:
-. Consider scientific knowledge as a fundamental tool to detect and solve problems related with territories
and their citizens.
-. Recognise the quality and validity of arguments based on scientific, social and ethical criteria.
-. Assess the quality and validity of territorial public interventions according to scientific, social and
ethical criteria.
-. Encourage curiosity and concern regarding issues of economic space.
-. Adopt positions on issues addressed in the subject.
-. Ability to work in a team.
-. Ability to apply a logical critique in discussions and even self-criticism.
METHODS:
1. Students' efforts must be focused on the following points:
a) personal study of the basic materials and consulting recommended bibliography
b) research and study of topics related to the content of the subject
c) paying attention during the explanations given in class and contributing in the classes
d) exchanging ideas, thoughts and experiences with other students and teachers
e) participation in any additional activities (seminars, conferences, field trips)
f) monitoring the social society in which students live and where they can appreciate the topics discussed
in class
g) making full use of tutorials, understanding that it is an additional time and opportunity to resolve doubts
and to focus on specific issues.
2. A critical selection process must be carried out for the different information sources (notes, manuals,
Digital Teaching Ring, bibliographic and electronic references, audiovisuals, experiments), and a
restructuring to methodise some basic, useful knowledge.
3. Daily -use
of the skills that are acquired throughout the subject.

METHOD:
Many aspects are covered by all territory and society residing therein. Therefore, a plural approach is
restructuring to methodise some basic, useful knowledge.
3. Daily use of the skills that are acquired throughout the subject.
METHOD:
Many aspects are covered by all territory and society residing therein. Therefore, a plural approach is
required, including the various strands of knowledge of Economics and the rest of Social Sciences.
Due to this subject's cross-disciplinary relationships (with other areas of Economics) and bearing in mind
that it taken in the final year of the degree, students must use and reformulate a lot of their knowledge:
" Economic Theory subjects, particularly issues relating to economic growth" subjects from Applied
Economics, in which they will strengthen their grasp of spatial logic in economies and the correction of
market failures and those of public intervention.
" Economic History, which provides a collection of quite useful interpretations, given that the majority of
territorial changes are due to long-term causes;
In a more general and inter-disciplinary - but equally advisable - way students must maintain a receptive
attitude toward the analysis of territories and population that is conducted in other social sciences. The
study of additional coursework in the fields of geography, sociology, demography, law, anthropology, etc.
will be important.
Accordingly, Regional and Urban Economics will demand multi-disciplinary and open analysis methods, as
it integrates different dimensions that may obstruct each other.
CURRICULUM:
PART ONE:
CONCEPTS, THEORIES AND TERRITORIAL DYNAMICS
Topic 1: Basic notions on territory and economy.
Topic 2: Basic notions on demographics.
Topic 3: Theories on regional growth
Topic 4: The configuration of the Spanish economy.
PART THREE:
PUBLIC INTERVENTIONS
Topic 5: The geographic dimension of EU policies.
Topic 6: Economic policies of territorial impact in Spain.
EVALUATION:
The mark will depend on a final examination, class participation and additional activities.
The final examination will represent 70% of the mark. In the final exam, there will be questions on
comments and exercises carried out through the year together with the classes given by guest lecturers.
The assessment of class participation has to do with the rigour of the interventions carried out during the
feedback session of the exercises that are studied, together with questions, comments or assessments
that crop up during class.
Those students who wish may take other additional activities. In all additional activities, it is necessary to
hold four interviews, as a minimum, with the tutor, within the deadlines set in class: two prior to starting
(topic proposal and work schedule; setting of objectives and defining sources); another, during the
preparation phase (in which a draft or preliminary version will be submitted); and a final interview on the
submission deadline to verify to what extent the different authors have contributed and to explain
students' learning.
These additional activities may consist of:
1. Writing a review of aspects of the subject not covered in class.
2. Analysis of a territory, explaining its dynamics and applied policies.
3. Reading and reviewing books, chapters, scientific papers, reports from government agencies.
4. Monitoring the press to stay up-to-date on any aspect related to the subject, analysing and reviewing
media content in accordance with class critique; to be documented in a folder (written or electronic).
5. Documentation, contribution and review of Internet links with information on territorial dynamics,
regional policies etc.
6. Review on documentaries and films which have their main themes related to the subject.
If an educational version of these activities is shown in class, once their quality is proven, a higher grade
may be obtained.

AIMS:
The objective of this course is to offer a theoretical and historical analysis of international economic
development. The focal point of the programme will be to analyse the means for overcoming
underdevelopment, comparing positive experiences with those countries which still have serious
imbalances (high levels of population in conditions of poverty, high percentages of the active population in
the informal sector or high levels of unemployment).
To approach the problem of how to overcome economic underdevelopment we have chosen to begin by
examining the more general theories, to end with a study of several specific countries. The programme
commences with a synthesis of ideas concerning economic growth based on the central corpus of
economic theory (Lessons 1 through 3). Subsequently the principal theories of economic development will
be presented (Lessons 4 and 5). The latter bring us closer to the central problem of the course (the means
for overcoming underdevelopment), since the bases of the majority of development theories are heavily
influenced by the specific historical experiences of countries and economic circumstances (to a great
extent they are models designed for the analysis of particular cases). The theoretical part ends (Lesson 6)
with a chapter summarising the contributions of the different theories studied. This synthesis is
undertaken from the perspective that these theories are complementary rather than contradictory. Their
different approaches are to a large extent the result of the differences between the cases and
circumstances studied, and are likewise the result of the different perspectives from which the same
historical processes are analysed.
After this theoretical part, we will enter the part which takes a historical perspective (Lessons 7 through
12). We will commence with successive overviews of the economic evolution of the major areas of the
world, proceeding after analysing each zone to study certain specific countries. In the development of this
historical part, we will use the tools introduced in the lessons on theory. After studying different historical
conditions which led to development or sustained underdevelopment, we will be in a position to offer some
general observations concerning the elements which determine the forms of economic evolution in different
societies (Lesson 13).

AIMS:
The goal is to examine the different criteria proposed in econometric scholarship for evaluating the quality
of a model, once the model has passed the tests of sphericity. Analysis is proposed for both nested and
non-nested models, distinguishing between those criteria which use classical hypothesis testing as a
fundamental tool and those (known as preferentialist) which approach the problem of choice within the
framework of decision theory, which compares models in terms of their loss functions.

AIMS:
This course is designed as a logical continuation of the courses in which students have gained a basic
knowledge of the Spanish tax system. Its objective is to provide both theoretical and practical
introductory notions of tax planning. The goal is to analyse how taxes affect the decisions of individuals,
both personally and professionally, and how certain rules can be derived to aid in making better decisions,
taking into account these fiscal factors.
The course is strucutred as follows: The first part is fundamentally theoretical, and is devoted to
introducing the basic instruments and methods for engaging in tax planning activities. Parts two through
four present the empirical aspects, and apply the previously-learned methods to specific problems of
personal, business and international tax planning.

AIMS:
Continuing with our analysis of decision-making processes and, specifically, with the students’
introduction to the different models, methods and techniques which aid in taking decisions in the most
scientific way possible, this course offers a series of procedures and tools which facilitate this task in the
economic and business environment, both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective. Although
included within the General Management area of specialisation (4th year), the course content would be
useful in any area of specialisation, in the third year, if possible, since it facilitates conducting other
projects (acquiring information in Internet, modelling, and presenting and communicating the results
obtained).
