The first one includes 3 topics that analyse from the political economic point of view, the democratic institutions starting from a traditional outline (Unit 1) to finish with a simple model of electoral competence and of characterization of the political action in a democracy (Units 2 and 3). The second part of the subject includes 3 topics that analyse the interaction between political institutions and economic results in a short period. For it, it is characterized in the topic 4 the determinants of the macroeconomic results in a short period, for in the units 5 and 6 study the relation among the democratic institutions analyzed in the first part of the subject and the macroeconomic results presented in the unit 4. The last part of the program repeats the analysis of the second but being centered in the interaction between political institutions and macroeconomic results in a long period: the units 7 and 8 present the determinant of the macroeconomic results of a long period and the political objectives linked to those results, while the unit 9 relates these results with the political institutions, as well as the institutional determinant of the public expense. |
