Not established.
However, it is recommended to have passed, at least, the subject "International Economics". The student should adequately handle the basic concepts of National Accounting, Mathematics, Statistics, as well as basic computer programs to perform calculations and graphs (Excel or others).
The objective of this subject is to provide the student with the basic knowledge to understand the framework in which economic activity takes place in Spain.
This subject complements and develops, at the applied level, the knowledge acquired in other subjects such as Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Economic History or Statistics, with the purpose that the student knows the real economic environment in which their future professional activity will unfold.
Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the Spanish productive structure, the structural changes that have taken place in the last decades and their causes, the markets for productive factors and some institutional and regulatory aspects are essential for those students who want to develop their professional activity as an economist, either at a company, or at an institution. Given the remarkable degree of integration of Spain in the European Union and its growing internationalization, an economist can hardly outline strategies or take appropriate decisions without knowing the differences and structural and competitive Spanish particularities with respect to the countries of its closest economic environment.
