Summary
Green bonds are a financing method that has proliferated in recent decades. They function in the same way as traditional bonds but with the distinction that they are intended to finance green projects. These bonds emerged in 2007, and since then their relevance has been increasing year by year, along with several problems. The literature mainly points to two issues, known as Greenium and Green-washing. The former refers to the extra price that investors pay for the bond being green. The latter term is used to designate those bonds that are sold as green when they are not actually green. This latter issue jeopardizes the credibility of green bonds, as it implies paying an extra price for non-existent externalities. The objective of the work is to analyze whether green bonds are effective and can produce environmental improvements or, on the contrary, are classified as green-washing.To conduct the study, a series of correlation analyses were carried out between the amount or volume of green bonds and a set of environmental indicators. The results indicated that green bonds are producing tangible environmental benefits. Among the indicators most related to green bonds are renewable energies, crude oil extraction, and the production of environmental goods and services. Those with a lesser relationship were hazardous waste recycling and disposal.

Summary
In this Final Degree Project, we aim to choose the corporate form for a small business to be established in the community of Galicia. Specifically, it is a livestock farm primarily focused on selling milk, as well as other activities like selling calves and corn to retailers. To determine which corporate form offers the most fiscal benefits, we compared three legal options: a sole proprietor taxed under the objective estimation regime, a civil partnership taxed through the attribution of income, and a limited liability company taxed under the corporate tax system. Based on the study and analysis of these three forms, along with a brief explanation of each, we decided on the best option for establishing the company. We also outlined the main reasons why the chosen legal form is the most advantageous from a tax perspective.

Summary
The present work studies the development of renewable energies in Denmark, with a focus on wind energy. The choice of this topic is driven by the urgency to address climate change and the global energy crisis, partly caused by the use of fossil fuels. After the 1973 oil crisis, Denmark diversified its energy matrix, aiming to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. Thus, it promoted clean and renewable technologies, especially wind energy, becoming a powerhouse in wind energy production. Despite this, fossil fuels still cover a large part of Europe's energy demand. Currently, geopolitical conflicts and the health crisis have further highlighted the need for an energy transition towards safer and more sustainable sources. Denmark enjoys favorable economic and political conditions that facilitate the adoption of renewable energies. Likewise, the country's productive structure and its continuous commitment to innovation have been fundamental for the development of the wind sector. Finally, we compare the development of wind energy in Denmark, China, and Spain. This reveals the different approaches and developments in the wind sector, highlighting China's exponential growth in less than a decade. Spain has faced economic and political challenges that have affected its growth, while Denmark has maintained steady and sustainable growth. Additionally, we will analyze notable pilot projects and the challenges towards a complete transition. In conclusion, Denmark still faces challenges to achieve the energy transition, but its path can be an example for other countries to follow.

Summary
Publicity and ICT have evolved concurrently. Due to the large amount of time currently invested on mobile devices, social networks, and websites, companies have decided to opt for digital advertising strategies in these aforementioned media. Digital advertisement may be considered more successful in comparison to more traditional types of advertising thanks to personalization, showing users customized ads based on their taste, preferences, needs or interests. In order to achieve this, companies collect browsing data from their audience using a display of privacy policies. Hence, promotional campaigns will be targeted to the right customers at the right time, avoiding the uninterested public and trying to reduce the number of impressions that have no effect. Considering this context, the main objective of this thesis is to know what this type of publicity consists of and its repercussion on the attitude of consumers. In pursuance of this aim, different bibliographic resources have been used. In addition to this theoretical framework, an empirical analysis is to be conducted in the form of a survey, which contemplates several questions on the topic and has been worked on by using the SPSS program.

Summary
Cooperativas Lácteas Unidas (CLUN) is an example of the implementation of the social economy in a leading community in dairy production such as Galicia. Our objective in this work is to assess whether the union of three cooperatives, Feiraco, Os Irmandiños and Melisanto, has been beneficial for all of them and as a whole. In this way, we will compare data from 2015, in which Feiraco, Os Irmandiños and Melisanto were still operating individually, with information from the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, where the three companies had already merged. In addition, we will comment on the company's form of organization and analyze whether CLUN is currently in financial balance in both the short and long term. On the other hand, we will comment on how the cooperative influenced the socioeconomic environment of Mariña Lucense, specifically in Ribadeo and finally we will talk about future challenges that CLUN faces.

Summary
La relevancia de la ética en el ámbito financiero se ilustra a través del análisis del caso Enron, uno de los mayores escándalos financieros en la historia corporativa. Enron, una destacada empresa del sector energético, se declaró en quiebra en 2001 tras involucrarse en prácticas fraudulentas, como la manipulación contable mediante el uso de entidades de propósito especial (SPEs). Este estudio utiliza los modelos financieros APV y Ventosa II para explorar qué habría sucedido si la empresa hubiera operado sin recurrir a tales prácticas engañosas. El colapso de Enron no solo provocó pérdidas económicas significativas para accionistas, inversores y empleados, sino que también cuestionó los procesos de los mercados financieros y la eficacia de los mecanismos de regulación. La subsecuente promulgación de la Ley Sarbanes-Oxley buscó corregir las deficiencias expuestas por el escándalo, destacando la necesidad de una regulación más rigurosa y una supervisión continua. El caso Enron demuestra de manera clara que la ética y la transparencia son esenciales para mantener la confianza en los mercados financieros y asegurar una gestión corporativa íntegra y sostenible. Sin embargo, una limitación del estudio es la falta de información detallada sobre Dynegy, lo que impide una comparación exhaustiva con Enron. En resumen, el caso Enron subraya que la ética no debe ser vista como un añadido, sino como un componente crítico para el éxito y la resiliencia a largo plazo en el sector financiero. Número de palabras de este trabajo: 10.050

Summary
The objective of this bachelor's thesis is to define social responsibility in companies and analyze the diversity of human resources, examining what it is, dimensions of diversity, types, benefits, and drawbacks associated with diversity. The second objective of this study is to analyze the generational differences between Centennials and other generations (Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers) in various human resources practices related to compliance with labor regulations, corporate social responsibility, work-life balance, pay equity, workplace values and events, and environmental policies. To analyze these differences, a survey was conducted where respondents rated the importance of various proposed practices. The item where Centennials and other generations have the most differences is related to the idea that people are forced to work even if it is not necessary for them. Centennials are the ones who agree the most with this statement compared to other generations (Centennials have an average score of 2.57 out of 5, while other generations have 1.94). The items to which respondents give the most importance are that companies should not have child or forced labor and that sexist prejudices should be avoided when promoting a worker (both with a score of 4.76).

Summary
In this work, an analysis of the textile and apparel industry in Galicia and the four most important companies in this sector will be carried out. The most prominent companies are: Industria de Diseño Textil, Bimba y Lola, Adolfo Domínguez, and Sociedad Textil Lonia. These companies operate in regional, national, and international markets. Firstly, a study will be conducted on the textile tradition in Galicia from the 18th century, when this legacy is considered to have begun, until the 20th century. Subsequently, to analyse the sector in more detail, a study on the weight of the textile industry in Galicia through GDP, GVA, employment, exports, etc., will be developed throughout the 21st century to gain a better understanding of the sector's significance today. Finally, after establishing the industrial context, I have focused on the selected companies, analysing their beginnings, evolution, and key figures.

Summary
The main objective of this work is to analyze poverty and inequality in Spain, using the AROPE rate and the Gini index to compare and analyze the behavior of these variables at the national and European level, during the pandemic and the following years. These indicators will allow us to know what situation Spain presents in each year of the crisis and, in turn, compare it with the member countries of the European Union, in order to observe differences and similarities. Once the situation in Spain has been analyzed, we will also talk about the solutions provided by the European Union and the Spanish government to asset the negative effects of the crisis in terms of poverty and inequality in the distribution of income. To cover all the content exposed, the work has 8717 words. The most important observations and results of this work have to do with the analysis of the behavior of poverty and inequality in Spain during the COVID-19 crisis, analyzing and comparing the data of the different Autonomous Communities with each other to obtain a better vision at the national level and, also comparing Spain with the other countries members of the European Union.

Summary
The present work addresses the importance of family businesses in the economy and the challenges they must face throughout their life, especially regarding succession, with a total of 9707 words (excluding cover page, abstract, and bibliography). The theoretical analysis, together with the case study of the chosen company, allowed for the identification of numerous strategies for the management and continuity of such businesses. We begin by highlighting the relevance of transparency and communication, fundamental elements for trust and cohesion within the company, according to Ernesto Poza and Domènec Biosca. Moreover, the parallel planning proposed by Randel S. Carlock and John L. Ward will help align business objectives. We will remember that training the next generation is essential. Through the example, we see how implementing succession strategies manages to balance the preservation of family values with adaptation to new markets. This approach ensures the prosperity and continuous growth of the company. From a more sociological perspective, we can see how family businesses represent the intersection between traditional patriarchy and modern capitalism, as argued by Allones. This perspective helps understand the differences between family businesses and corporations, highlighting the importance of integrating family values with contemporary market dynamics. However, we must recognize the existence of certain limitations throughout the development of the study, such as the lack of transparent information when conducting the case study. Even so, we managed to identify how family businesses face unique challenges that can be overcome through effective management, strategic planning, and preparation of successors. The lessons learned throughout the development of the work provide guidance to ensure a prosperous legacy and a competitive future.

Summary
The market for and consumption of organic products has experienced exponential growth in recent decades, both globally and in Spain. However, there is a significant lack of knowledge among the general public about organic products and the properties that transform a traditional product into an organic one. This paper will conduct an exhaustive review of the existing literature, introducing the concept of organic food and its characteristics, describing the profile of organic food consumers as well as other traits of these users in categories other than nutrition. It will explain how to recognize organic foods in the purchasing process and what mandatory labels guarantee the authenticity of their origin. Furthermore, for a better understanding of the meaning of these products, the European regulations and standards that companies must comply with to market these products will be detailed. Following this, an analysis will be conducted of the evolution of consumption and expenditure on organic products over the past years up to the present, based on the main data of the Spanish market for organic foods, making a comparison with other countries worldwide. Finally, the results of a market research study carried out based on an anonymous survey conducted on the consumption of these types of products will be examined. Likewise,

Summary
The present work studies the non-obligatory expenditure of the municipal level of government. Its importance derives from the fact that municipalities provide more and more services that the law does not require of them, in order to cover the needs of their citizens. Furthermore, to finance this expense derived from the provision of services not formally required, they demand a greater amount of resources. However, they encounter a local financing system that is not in line with their demands. The study consists of a review of current legislation that allows delimiting non-obligatory spending, to subsequently analyze its dimension, typology and financing. Likewise, various solutions are studied that draw on specialized literature. The initial spatial scope is contextualized in Spain, while the specific case study refers to Galicia, whose local entities manage a territory with the uniqueness of a large territorial dispersion. Furthermore, the temporal scope initially covers the period between 2005 and 2021, and then is reduced to the decade 2012-2021, with the aim of analyzing the evolution of the variables considered after the changes introduced by the LRSAL.

Summary
This project analyzes the impact and diffusion of digital investment platforms in Spain, focusing on Robo-Advisors and Neobrokers through the Bass Model. It evaluates the adoption and its influence on the Spanish financial market towards 2030, using empirical data from digital investment platforms. The results show a significant adoption of Neobrokers, with a projected penetration rate of 24% for 2030, while Robo-Advisors have a rate of 0.48%. Neobrokers, accessible and economical, attract a broad and less specialized audience, while Robo-Advisors, with a higher initial investment and oriented towards the long term, target investors with greater savings capacity. The qualitative analysis based on Rogers' theory highlights internal factors such as simplicity and cost reduction, and external factors such as inflation and the influence of opinion leaders. Between 2017 and 2023, 11.59% of the growth in total assets is due to Robo-Advisors and 31.16% to Neobrokers, indicating a migration of traditional investors and the entry of new investors, with the latter being the most representative users. In conclusion, Robo-Advisors and Neobrokers have democratized access to financial services in Spain, fostering greater participation from new investors and transforming the digital investment landscape.

Summary
The economic-financial analysis of the Obradoiro Club de Amigos del Baloncesto S.A.D. aims to understand how a basketball club uses its resources to compete, and what has been the evolution of these in recent years, including the crisis caused by the pandemic. This information helps us to make a diagnosis of the club's economic-financial situation, compared to its main competitors. The basketball sector is highly competitive in Spain, with the ACB league being one of the best in the world. In the league as a whole, there are more expenses than income, which gives us to understand that there are teams willing to make losses just to have the best squad. Within this context, a small club from a small city such as Obradoiro has been able to stay in the top flight for thirteen years. Apart from the sporting aspect, the club's economy, and above all the spending on the squad, have been fundamental parts of achieving this feat. As a conclusion of the analysis, Obradoiro demonstrates a lack of own resources, assets and income compared to the comparison clubs. Liabilities exceed assets, leaving a negative net worth, due to the club's accumulated losses. So it depends largely on the endowment provided by shareholders to keep the club safe. The situation is a risk of insolvency and bankruptcy, which causes a vicious circle where no one wants to contribute resources to the club. Even in this situation, shareholders have not stopped betting on a greater investment in the squad for the club, and the search for better sporting results. In addition, they hope that, once the pandemic is over, the Obradoiro can begin to obtain profits with which to reduce its losses. The work consists of 9999 words (not including annex).

Summary
Fashion has existed for many years but clothing consumption has increased rapidly in recent times, turning its industry into an important sector of the current economy in which the Fast Fashion model predominates. This trend generates a great impact, both on society and on the planet, thus giving rise to different sustainable fashion alternatives such as Slow Fashion or Rental Fashion. This work analyzes the current situation of fashion through its new trends and what are the proposed plans to reduce the impact that each of them generates in the world. Through a survey, data related to the consumption of sustainable clothing in the Galician geographical area and the commitment of consumers to this trend has been collected.

Summary
The aim of our study is to analyse the conditions under which a monetary union is optimal, focusing on wether the establishment of a fiscal union is necessary, or at least desirable. After a brief theoretical analysis of the inherent problems in a monetary union, we conclude that, in order to avoid inefficiencies is essential to analyse the typology of shocks, specifically their assymetry and temporality. On the one hand, the fact that the disturbances caused in the member states are symetrically related will cause governments to act in an excessively countercyclical way. On the other hand, when an asymmetric shock impacts, the response of the fiscal authorities will overestimate their effect on monetary policy. In relation to temporality, it will be of interest to coordinate fiscally only if shocks are of a temporary nature. After obtaining these conclusions, we analysed using an autoregressive model what type of shocks take place in five countriies. The results obtained allow us to affirm that fiscal coordination will be beneficial if demand shocks impact. However, supply shocks will not see an improvement in their stabilization in the pressence od a fiscal union.
The aim of our study is to analyse the conditions under which a monetary union is optimal, focusing on wether the establishment of a fiscal union is necessary, or at least desirable. After a brief theoretical analysis of the inherent problems in a monetary union, we conclude that, in order to avoid inefficiencies is essential to analyse the typology of shocks, specifically their assymetry and temporality. On the one hand, the fact that the disturbances caused in the member states are symetrically related will cause governments to act in an excessively countercyclical way. On the other hand, when an asymmetric shock impacts, the response of the fiscal authorities will overestimate their effect on monetary policy. In relation to temporality, it will be of interest to coordinate fiscally only if shocks are of a temporary nature. After obtaining these conclusions, we analysed using an autoregressive model what type of shocks take place in five countriies. The results obtained allow us to affirm that fiscal coordination will be beneficial if demand shocks impact. However, supply shocks will not see an improvement in their stabilization in the pressence od a fiscal union.

Summary
This paper deals with the European Union's Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), the EU's mechanism for the prevention and correction of economic imbalances. We will assess its impact on the economic and fiscal stability of member states and the problems and challenges it has faced. We will review its functioning since it was first introduced, the importance of its successive reforms in 2005, 2011, 2013 and 2024; and the reasons that led the European institutions to undertake them. The Stability and Growth Pact has been and remains an essential tool for ensuring the economic and fiscal stability of the European Union. However, its effectiveness and relevance depend to a large extent on its ability to adapt to different economic scenarios.

Summary
Atresmedia Corporación de Medios de Comunicación, S.A., is a Spanish company, head of Atresmedia Group, whose main activity is the production and dissemination of audiovisual and radio content. Its activity is part of the media and advertising sector, immersed in a constant transformation process associated with digitalization and changes in the consumer behavior. The objective of this work is to elaborate an economic-financial analysis of the company that, after its comparison with its main competitor (Mediaset España Comunicación, S.A.) allows us to make a diagnosis of its situation in the period 2020-2022, as well as to propose possible proposals for improvement. Based on the results obtained in the analysis, we can conclude that, in general, Atresmedia is in a favourable position and, in recent years, has managed to grow and progressively recover from the damage caused by the recent pandemic. This is evidenced by its short-term financial stability, the improvement in its operating results and the increase in their profitability levels, among others Aspects. In addition, the company has demonstrated continuous progress in its management and its commitment to establish a solid foundation to ensure both its current stability and and its expansion and future consolidation in the market. Finally, in view of Mediaset's situation, certain differences can be observed in the results and the management of the companies. The analysis shows that the main competitor of Atresmedia has a greater capacity to pay in the short term, at the cost of an excess treasury, and in the long term. Atresmedia, on the other hand, presents higher levels of profitability, especially financial, thanks to the better use of the effect positive leverage of indebtedness. This work consists of 9,932 words.

Summary
Aggressive tax planning practices, as well as the use and existence of tax havens, are currently a major problem for countries and governments that see how tax evasion is advancing by leaps and bounds, increasing its figures annually. This paper aims to study the problems and functioning of both international tax planning and tax havens, leading to the practices of tax competition between countries to attract investment. With regard to international tax planning, the main strategies followed by companies for profit shifting and tax base erosion and how they take advantage of tax havens and loopholes in the laws for their own benefit are explained. Next, the origin of tax havens and their current situation is explained, commenting and analyzing the figures of tax evasion in the world and specifically in the Spanish economy. Finally, the paper explores the issue of tax competition between jurisdictions to establish special regimes to attract new companies and workers to be taxed in their territory, and makes a detailed comparison of the tax competition practices adopted by two neighboring countries such as Portugal and Spain, analyzing which country may be more attractive for foreign investment. The methodology of the paper has followed a qualitative approach by researching articles, reports and documents from institutions such as the OECD or the Council of the EU, as well as legal documents obtained from the tax agencies of Portugal and Spain for the collection of mostly secondary data. The word count of the document is 9,629 words.

Summary
This work investigates the project and evolution of Alúmina Aluminio Español in the Mariña Lucense, and some changes that were derived from it. Within these changes, special attention is paid to the modifications in the productive structures and in the spatial distribution of the population. For this analysis, we work with quantitative data from the IGE (population, structure of the active population), with population censuses of the INE for the stages not covered by the IGE, with reports elaborated in the initial years of implementation of Alúmina - Aluminio Español in the Mariña and with diverse bibliography. In addition to the introduction and conclusions, the work is divided into three chapters, the first of which presents the most important geographical, cultural and economic features of the Mariña. The second chapter goes into the work, analysing the Alumina Aluminium project from its beginnings and its development up to the present day, paying attention to the changes in the production structure. In the third chapter, we make an analysis of the population and the changes in the spatial distribution within the Mariña, based on the population census for the whole of the 20th century and comparing the real evolution with the estimates made during the start-up years of Alumina Aluminio. In this comparison, the estimation errors are studied and the possible reasons for the deviations are explained.

Summary
Human Resource (HR) management in a company is a very complex practice, but at time, it is fundamental for cultivating a healthy, motivating, and productive work environment, which is crucial for the success, competitiveness, and growth of the company. Therefore, in this Final Degree Project (TFG), the functions carried out for human resource management in the company will be analyzed, and once this theoretical analysis is completed, an empirical analysis will be conducted using a sample of three companies: a small company, a medium company, and a large company. The purpose of conducting this empirical analysis is to see how a company behaves in practice, thus highlighting its discrepancies with theory and seeing the differences that exist in human resource management across the three company sizes. To do this, information will be extracted from blogs, websites, academic texts, books, etc., which will help us to conclude that well-structured human resource management not only focuses on personnel selection but also encompasses other functions such as maintaining a pleasant work climate, developing employee competencies, and managing their performance, among others.

Summary
This final degree thesis applies the Box-Jenkins forecasting methodology to build an ARIMA model capable of estimating the demand for tourist accommodation in the different stages of the French Way in Galicia for the year 2023. To carry out the estimation of the model, we work with historical data on the number of daily arrivals of pilgrims to Sarria, from January 2003 to March 2023. Through the predictions obtained with the model and the availability of tourist accommodation in the different stages of the French Way in Galicia, a analysis of supply and demand for tourist accommodation in these stages of the journey is carried out to detect possible imbalances that could appear throughout 2023. This study allows tourism companies and institutions of the different towns through which the French Way passes in Galicia to know the future evolution of the arrival of daily pilgrims, thus being able to improve the planning and management of their ctivities.

Summary
Logistics surrounds many of the company's daily actions and has been evolving in an alarming manner due to the hyper-consumer needs and trends that have been generated in society. Due to this, the need has arisen to give greater importance to all actions related to reverse logistics, a type of logistics focused on the reuse of waste and its recycling. In this work of 9,888 words, we will try to raise awareness about these needs in the textile and food sectors specifically to try to get society to reduce its new trends or, at least, to be aware of the consequences of these. To do this, information was collected on some of the consequences that the production of clothing and food has on ecosystems and the planet in general. A company in the sector was also studied to find out what actions it follows and possible solutions were provided to implement in order to improve the current situation.

Summary
One of the most useful methods of economic analysis for understanding the productive structure of a country in a given year is the input-output framework, which describes, by means of matrices, the productive transactions that take place between the different sectors of activity. Based on matrix algebra techniques, this model allows the calculation of various indicators, which summarize the characteristics and temporal evolution of the different industries of the economy considered. This paper attempts to make a theoretical approach to the main analysis tools offered by the input-output model, as well as a practical application of them to the input-output tables of a series of countries over time. In this paper we differentiate three key studies: the identification of the most important coefficients of the technical matrix, the determination of structural characteristics and the assessment of structural change over time. Particularly, this study includes the calculation and interpretation of the most important technical coefficients, Leontief multipliers and Rasmussen indexes (structural characteristics), and the Gini index and two more general statistical measures: the standardized root mean squared error and the standard weighted absolute deviation (structural change). The main objective will be to draw a series of logical conclusions from these indicators, such as checking the stability of the matrices over the years, or classifying branches of activity according to their structural characteristics.

Particularly, this study includes the calculation and interpretation of the most important technical coefficients, Leontief multipliers and Rasmussen indexes (structural characteristics), and the Gini index and two more general statistical measures: the standardized root mean squared error and the standard weighted absolute deviation (structural change). The main objective will be to draw a series of logical conclusions from these indicators, such as checking the stability of the matrices over the years, or classifying branches of activity according to their structural characteristics.

Summary
In this work we will realize an analysis of the general panorama of Spanish economic thought in the first third of the 20th century. In this sense, we will deal with its main representatives and their relationship with the social, political and economic context in which they had to work, in order to know the degree of influence of the historical context on their thinking. To do this, a general framework of the economic and political situation of the Bourbon Restoration, and of the Second Republic, will be presented to address the economic approaches of the leading economists in each period, as well as the action of the State in the economic order as point of reference in the approaches of the different economists and social movements that occurred during this era, characterized by polarization, social conflict and global crises.

Summary
Fashion, in addition to its importance in the sociocultural sphere, stands out for its influence on the global economy. Particularly in Spain, recognized as one of the fashion capitals of the world with its long tradition in this field, the fashion sector plays a crucial role in the national economic structure. Its contribution to GDP and job creation, along with its notable presence in the international market, underscore the positive impact this sector has on its economy. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to determine the strategic nature of the fashion sector at the national level through the analysis of different aspects that reinforce its centrality and resilience. We will also delve into the current market challenges, such as digitalization, and use Input-Output tables to examine in detail the impact of fashion on other economic sectors. Additionally, we will seek to identify those communities where the sector reveals greater strength. In conclusion, we will reveal the need for the implementation of strategic measures to revitalize this sector and facilitate a rapid recovery from the effects caused by the pandemic.

Summary
As its title let’s us know, through its 9.168 words, this study examines the impact of the establishment of the digital age on international tax systems, although it is true that it grants outstanding importance to the European case and, more specifically, to our country. To this end, it will start by determining the concept of the digital economy and its foundations to more accurately determine the current issues. Concurrently, it seeks to explore possible solutions, as well as the most relevant measures adopted so far. Therefore, due to the global nature of these challenges, we turn to a thorough review of the pertinent literature and data collection provided mostly by two international organizations: the OECD and the EU. Thus, the results obtained reveal the imprecision of current tax systems due to their limited adaptation to digitalization, especially in relation to: the determination of taxpayer residence, permanent establishments, income qualification and VAT. Consequently, the initiatives proposed by the aforementioned organizations have been several, although undoubtedly the most notable has been Action 1 of the BEPS Action Plan. However, despite its decisive importance, we can affirm the existence of a lack of involvement and consensus among different jurisdictions, concluding with the need to strengthen collaboration as a key to coping with rapid technological innovations and ensuring fairness in an increasingly interconnected world.

Summary
The aim of this paper is to analyze the economic evolution of Galicia between 2000 and 2021 in order to understand its strengths, weaknesses and current trends. The methodology used was a descriptive analysis using data from the Galician Institute of Statistics (IGE). Among the main conclusions we draw are: the stagnation of investment, the increase in inequality, the dependence on the service sector and the loss of economic importance of the main historical sectors of Galicia. In general, the Galician economy shows a worrying picture due to the lack of dynamism, the increase in inequality and the continued loss of jobs. Policies are required that encourage investment, strengthen the productive sector and reduce the wage gap.

Summary
The objective of this final project is to develop a diagnosis of the economic and financial situation of Mercadona through the performance of vertical and horizontal analyses of two of its annual accounts (Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement) and the calculation and interpretation of various ratios and indicators. By comparing these with a group of three of the mist relevant companies in its sector, we can understand its situation in terms of solvency, profitability and risk. The final project includes the presentation of the company, with a brief desription of its historical evolution. Subsequently, it provides an analysis of the sector in which Mercadona operates and a brief description of the company´s strategy and operations. The economic and financial analysis is the most relevant section, including a horizontal and vertical percentage study, an analysis of the short and long-term financial situation, and an economic analysis, in addition to the diagnosis an improvement proposals. The project ends with conclusions, limitations and posibe expansions. From the analysisi carried out, we observe a general improvement in the economic and financial situation of both Mercadona and its comparison group during the analyzed period (2019-2022). Mercadona´s low level of debt stands out, which makes its financial profitability lower than the comparison group´s. In general terms, and despite the high diference in terms of financial profitability, we can conclude that Mercadona has a better economic and financial situation. This project contains 9,692 words, excluding the cover, summary and bibliografy.

Summary
Shellfishing in Galicia is an activity that dates back to prehistoric times. It has been practiced for thousands of years, as evidenced by the numerous archaeological remains found along the Galician coast. Currently, thousands of people are dedicated to this sector, and many family incomes depend on this occupation. In the last quarter of 2023, desalination in the Galician community had a significant impact, causing the mortality of up to 75% of bivalves. This was mainly due to the excessive rainfall during that period, and after an inefficient response from some competent authorities, the discontent among workers increased, leading to demands for measures and solutions. Throughout this work, we have sought to find answers to this phenomenon by consulting secondary information sources, the media, and a field study, which involved conducting surveys, thereby obtaining highly relevant primary information about this phenomenon.

Summary
The objective of this investigation is to analyse whether the gender pay gap is due to the different psychological attributes that characterise men and women. For this purpose, a literature review of the state of the art is provided, based on the work of Niederle and Vesterlund (2007). This review is supported by the design and detailed explanation of an experiment that can be applied to university students in future research to obtain results in the context of Galicia today. The results of most studies on competitiveness confirm that psychological attributes (self-confidence, risk aversion and error tolerance) perpetuate the wage gap, as they cause women to avoid competitive work environments and prefer more stable ones. However, in view of the results of comparative studies across cultures, current research affirms that socio-cultural contexts can significantly vary the behavioural patterns of men and women. It points to the multifactorial nature of the pay gap due to factors such as socio-cultural context and education, occupational segregation and discrimination of feminised professional categories, family reconciliation after maternity or, of course, differences in negotiation and risk aversion between both genders (Blas Gómez and Estrada López, 2021). Finally, potential measures to address the pay gap are proposed based on the results obtained in this research, which go in the direction of combating gender stereotypes associated with competitiveness and leadership and creating more inclusive work environments.

Summary
This project presents market research carried out on the impact of social networks on consumer purchasing decisions. The main objective is to study and understand the effects of digital marketing on people's preferences. In today's times, media such as Instagram, YouTube or TikTok have influenced the various behaviours of the population due to the access and display of products and services that, in many cases, have no need to be purchased. A quantitative method is used in the study, with surveys conducted in order to analyse individuals' choices. The results reveal the transition still in place, due to the different ages apparent in the survey and their relationship with knowledge of social networks. In addition, different preferences between genders and other characteristics such as area of residence are identified. This research provides an overview of key aspects for deeper exploration of the topic and offers insights into current changes, factors influencing our tastes, and age-related disparities.

Summary
This work aims to determine the factors behind internal migration movements in Spain. To achieve this, the first step is to review the most relevant theories that explain the determinants of migration. Secondly, the migratory dynamics in Spain over the last 60 years are studied. Finally, a model for the period 2014-2021 is developed. The results obtained from the model highlight the existence of specific individual factors for each autonomous community. Additionally, it is concluded that the internal migratory dynamics in Spain depend on housing costs, average wages, and unemployment rates.

Summary
This paper tries to understand how artificial intelligence is being introduced in companies in the European Union, since this technology seems to be aimed at changing the working world as we know it. In order to carry out this objective we need to know what artificial intelligence is, what its possible uses are, and what types exist. With this first approach we will be able to know the revolutionary potential of artificial intelligence. Once we know what artificial intelligence is, an analysis will be made of its use in companies in the European Union, which is trying to promote its use and position itself as a world power in this field. To do this, a geographical analysis will be made, seeing which are the countries with the greatest use of the technology. In this way, we will be able to see where to put the focus to try to bring the development of technology uniformly in the region and not create a gap in its use. We will also analyze the types of companies that are implementing technology in their processes, seeing why they may be favored and what may be the reason for the greater use of technology. Finally, the sectors most likely to introduce technology will be studied, in order to see which sectors have been able to find uses that favor the inclusion of technology in their activities.

This Graduation Thesis was created with the aim of explaining the complex legal and operational scenario surrounding the process of incorporation and start-up of the Limited Liability Company in Spain. Due to its characteristics and relevance, a figure that is presented as a key element for the development of the business fabric of our country. In order to approach the subject, I have adopted mixed approach, providing the work with a practical and updated perspective of the process of incorporation and start-up of this type of company with the aim of serving as a reference itinerary for future entrepreneurs and businessmen at the time of its creation, and at the same time, as a framework for the possible problems that they may encounter. For these purposes, in addition to a review of the procedures and electronic tools necessary for their creation, a detailed study has been carried out of the regulations and recent reforms relating to the streamlining and digitalization of their incorporation. In this way, I have described the main characteristics of this legal form in order to give a thorough overview of the advantages and disadvantages in choosing it. The thesis concludes by describing the incorporation process by telematic means and its adaptation to the new tools in order to promote and speed up the incorporation procedures. This will serve as a perspective on the bureaucratic burden that characterizes this procedure and the reforms necessary for its future development.

Summary
This work’s objective is to analyze the evolution of Spanish-British trade between 1995 and 2022 and to explain how it has been affected by Brexit in terms of volume, composition, and geographical distribution. After Spain joined the European Union in 1986, the absence of trade barriers greatly stimulated trade flows between Spain and the United Kingdom, which increased both in volume and relative weight within Spain's overall foreign trade. Between 1995 and 2022, the introduction of the euro as currency, the standstill of the British economy, and the dynamism of emerging economies such as China led to a decrease in the relative weight of the United Kingdom within Spanish trade flows. On the other hand, this work shows that in the last three decades, there has been a significant change in Spain's trade balance with the United Kingdom. It went from a significant deficit in the 1990s to a growing surplus. This change mostly occurred after the 2007 crisis: from that point on, Spanish exports to the United Kingdom showed a dynamic upward trend while imports from the UK tended to standstill and even decrease in some years. The effects of Brexit on Spanish-British trade were mixed. The implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement had a greater impact on British exports to Spain, which were significantly affected and had their internal composition changed, than on Spanish exports to the United Kingdom, which continued to grow. Regarding this work’s structure, it consists of an introduction, four chapters, and conclusions. The first chapter analyzes the evolution of Spanish foreign trade as a whole and the evolution of trade between Spain and the United Kingdom. The second chapter studies changes in the geographical distribution of Spanish foreign trade and the relative weight of the United Kingdom. The third chapter explains the internal composition of Spanish-British trade and the changes that occurred as a result of Brexit. The fourth chapter analyzes the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Summary
El modelo input-output fue desarrollado por el economista ruso Wassily Leontief durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Éste permite estudiar las transacciones entre los diversos sectores industriales de una región y, por ello, constituye la base del análisis input-output, la rama de la economía que se centra en el estudio de las relaciones entre industrias. El modelo de Leontief se construye a partir de la información contenida en las tablas input-output. En ellas se representa, por una parte, el origen y el destino de los inputs intermedios de las industrias de una determinada región y, por otra, los diversos usos no relacionados con el proceso productivo que se le dan al output. Para muchos autores, estas tablas son el retrato más detallado posible de una economía. Ahora bien, el proceso de construcción de una tabla input-output es extremadamente laborioso debido a la gran cantidad de información que abarca. En los casos más complejos, con cientos de filas y columnas, su elaboración puede llevar meses o incluso años. Por esta razón, Leontief apunta que una tabla input-output siempre será un documento histórico. Sin embargo, existen varias técnicas matemáticas de proyección de matrices que permiten estimar tablas input-output para años en los que todavía no se cuenta con la oficial. Este trabajo realiza una breve introducción a las características principales de las tablas input-output y los métodos para estimarlas, prestando particular atención al RAS, un método iterativo ampliamente utilizado por su sencillez y su capacidad para realizar buenas proyecciones.

Sin embargo, existen varias técnicas matemáticas de proyección de matrices que permiten estimar tablas input-output para años en los que todavía no se cuenta con la oficial. Este trabajo realiza una breve introducción a las características principales de las tablas input-output y los métodos para estimarlas, prestando particular atención al RAS, un método iterativo ampliamente utilizado por su sencillez y su capacidad para realizar buenas proyecciones.

Summary
Over the years, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has aroused growing interest in society, in education and in politics. However, there is a great lack of knowledge on the part of companies and consumers about how to incorporate it into the strategy and what it really entails. Through this work, a detailed analysis of the available literature on CSR is carried out, trying to explain its most relevant aspects and analyzing its insertion in companies. Furthermore, due to the crucial role that the energy sector plays in CSR due to the high impact it has on our planet, a specific focus is carried out on one of the main energy marketers, the Iberdrola group. For all this, initially a brief definition of the concept and a review of its history is made. Next, each of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are integrated into business strategies to address global challenges such as poverty and climate change are described in detail. Finally, the internal and external effects produced by the implementation of socially responsible policies in companies are generally reflected, continuing later with a specific focus on the Iberdrola group, mainly reviewing its governance and sustainability reports.

Summary
Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental problems in Spain. Its cause is due to the increase in GHGs, greenhouse gases, caused by the intensive use of fossil fuels. The effects have included global warming, which has repercussions on the environment and ecosystems, but also has negative implications in other scenarios. In the area of human health, there is a progressive increase in mortality, affecting all generational groups. In the economic sphere, it affects economic growth with a loss of GDP and exorbitant health costs. This paper provides an overview of the interaction between global warming, mortality and economic impact, calling for a change in the current economic model towards an energy transition.

Summary
Monetary policy is essential for the development and economic stability of the Eurozone, influencing variables such as inflation, unemployment and economic growth. This paper focuses on the role of the European Central Bank (ECB) in managing monetary policy during various economic crises, highlighting the importance of understanding these tools to mitigate the effects of future crises. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the monetary policy tools used by the ECB in different European economic crises and to evaluate their effectiveness. It seeks to formulate optimal strategies to face future crises through a detailed study of the ECB's actions in each of these situations. A descriptive and analytical methodology is employed, based on case studies of the main economic crises in Europe. Official ECB documents, academic studies and articles by economic experts are reviewed to provide a comprehensive overview of the monetary policy tools and their applications in the different crises that have affected Europe since the creation of the euro. Specifically, we study: 1) Global financial crisis of 2008-2009; 2) Sovereign debt crisis (2010-2013); 3) Deflation risk (2014- 2019); 4) COVID-19 pandemic crisis (2020-2021); and 5) Inflation aggravated by the invasion of Ukraine (2022-present). The main result of our study is to highlight how the evolution of the ECB's monetary policy in the face of the various economic crises has been crucial for the stability and recovery of the Eurozone and, more recently, we have observed how the coordination and integration of this monetary policy with fiscal policy generates positive synergistic effects, fundamental for maintaining economic stability in the different European regions.

Summary
Fishing activity in the Pontevedra estuary, as in many other coastal regions of the world, is a fundamental pillar both economically and culturally. However, behind the apparent stability of its environment lies a complex web of social challenges that profoundly impact the lives of fishermen and their communities. In this report, I will explore the social vulnerability of fishermen in the Pontevedra estuary, located in the coastal region of Galicia, Spain. I will begin by examining the global context of the fishing industry, highlighting the countries with the largest fisheries production and their influence on local dynamics. In addition, I will analyze the importance of the ports of Galicia, the fish markets and the species most sold in the market, as well as the infrastructure of vessels and fishing grounds that support this activity. As I move into the local level, I will address crucial aspects such as the cofradias, which have historically represented the interests of fishermen, and the common fisheries policy that regulates their activities. However, I will also focus on aspects such as poverty, social exclusion, discrimination, inequality and social instability as reflected in indicators such as the AROPE index and the Gini index. I will explore the phenomenon of an aging fishing population and the lack of generational replacement, as well as the gender biases present in this industry. Economic rentability and consuming habits will also be the subject of analysis, along with the shortage of skilled labor, the rising cost of living and the fluctuating salaries of fishermen. In sum, this report seeks to shed light on the social complexities surrounding fishermen in the Pontevedra estuary, highlighting the challenges faced by these seafaring communities in a globalized and constantly changing context.

Summary
The object of this final degree project is to analyse the effort that people dedicate to housing accessibility in the autonomous community of Galicia. To do so, a quantitative analysis of the Galician real estate sector is carried out, using data and information from surveys focusing on the analysis from the 2010s to the present. The fundamental purpose is to offer a complete view of the current state of the sector, comparing the measurement variables used to analyse past housing accessibility with the present. This approach will allow not only to understand recent developments, but also to project possible future scenarios. Thus, this study is established as a tool to understand the dynamics of the Galician real estate market and help sustainable development in the region. Throughout the work, key aspects such as housing supply and demand, price variation and the influence of economic factors will be explored. The combination of quantitative data and in-depth analysis seeks to provide a more grounded understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the real estate sector in Galicia. Through different ratios and approaches, we can calculate the different levels of housing accessibility for current Galician society, analyzing its different problems and seeking the reason for their existence. Finally, the final degree project consists of 9943 words.

Summary
This work aims to construct a synthetic indicator to analyze economic welfare. We will study whether or not there are differences in welfare between the autonomous communities of Spain, specifically, we have focused on the years 2019 and 2022 to see how and if it has affected the COVID -19 to these regions, and if there is greater or lesser inequalities between the north and south of Spain. For that, a synthetic index based on Osberg's theoretical framework will be developed throughout the paper, in which we will divide economic welfare into four dimensions that we will study later.

Summary
Looking at the evolution of food trends in recent years, we can see how there is one that is on the rise, which is veganism. That in one way or another is beginning to have notoriety both in the food sector and in the industry in general. Since we can find products of any kind with the denomination of vegan from a food consumption product to pieces of clothing, personal hygiene and even products of any other nature. Which would have been unthinkable not many years ago, because although the term vegan arose from the hand of Elsie Shirgley and her husband Donal Watson in 1944, it was not until today when it became a consolidated term in society and has importance for the industry. That's why I decided to do a research study to see if this new movement is already present in young Galicians between the ages of 18 and 30. Just like in the rest of Spain or the world. And how it affects or will affect the industry in the near future, this new trend, specifically in the food industry. In conclusion, to investigate the generational change in Galician food from the study of veganism and the economic implications consequent to this change. And consequently, to guide and provide answers to the many companies that are about to enter this philosophy. It should be noted that the whole of this work is composed of 9.044 words.

Summary
For the development of this project, we have chosen to study Aluminios Cortizo S.A.U., a Galician company that is an international leader in the production and distribution of aluminum and PVC systems for the industry and architecture. We have analyzed this company through an economic-financial analysis using various ratios based on the items in its financial statements and putting these data into context by comparing it with other leading aluminum producers in Spain. The project is structured into two parts: the first part consists of an introduction to the company, delving into its history and how it has grown over time. Additionally, this part also contextualizes the current situation of the company by conducting an internal and external analysis. In the second part, we delve into the financial analysis of the company, where we can assess its management over these years. For the analysis of Aluminios Cortizo S.A.U., we have selected a timeframe that encompasses the years from 2018 to 2022. This selection allows us to observe how the company was performing in the years prior to COVID-19 and how it has managed the pandemic, as well as the financial situation reflected in its financial statements for the year 2022

Summary
This paper will develop an economic and financial analysis of the business group Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A. (ACS Group). The ACS Group is one of the main construction companies in Europe, with a strong focus on the construction of public works and civil engineering, although it is also present in other sectors, such as services and concessions. We have carried out our analysis using different ratios obtained from the items of its financial statements and putting its data in context in order to compare it with its main competitor. The analysis carried out is structured in two parts: the first stage consists of an introduction to the company, briefly explaining its history, constitution and how it is structured; followed by an analysis of the sector in Spain and its future prospects; in the second stage, we will focus on the financial analysis in order to study how ACS has been managed in the different years and what differentiates it from the competition and then finish with recommendations and a diagnosis of the company's economic and financial situation. For the analysis of the ACS Group, we have established a time frame of 5 years, from 2018 to 2022, where we will be able to observe where the company was in the years prior to the pandemic and how this has affected its financial statements, as well as the subsequent recovery in later years.

Summary
The current trend of social and environmental responsibility, together with the improvement in educational levels and new existing technologies, fosters an increasingly documented and informed sector of the population. The beauty industry is aware of the problems it generates. Over the years, different stakeholders have been transforming the sector. This sustainable development and responsible consumption requires certifications that accredit certain ecological aspects in cosmetics. In this context, the Final Degree Project analyzes the connection of the beauty industry with sustainable development, emphasizing the different stages of the supply chain of a cosmetic and its environmental and social repercussions, as well as the most important standards of the European Union in this sector. The two main objectives of the work will be to study the importance of organic certifications and to analyse the two most relevant within natural and/or organic cosmetics in the European Union. Some of the main conclusions drawn from this study are the exponential increase in the population's interest in natural and organic cosmetics, as well as the need for independent organic certifications in the European Union due to the lack of existing regulation to be able to inform this new responsible consumer of products that are in line with their ideals.

Summary
In recent years, there has been an important debate in relation to the loss of prominence or even the decline of the so-called sun and beach tourism. On the one hand, the negative impacts of this type of tourism have contributed to this debate, especially from the overcrowding of tourism and, on the other, the changes in the preferences of visitors, looking for less crowded places, an aspect that has been accentuated with the recent pandemic associated with COVID-19. This paper aims to test the hypothesis that coastal tourism has lost weight in Spanish tourism as a whole. To this end, the evolution of sun and beach tourism in Spain in the period 2013-2023 is analysed in comparison with other types of tourism, and using a wide range of indicators, both demand and supply. The results of the study show that, indeed, there has been a loss of prominence of coastal tourism when compared to other forms of tourism such as cultural tourism.

Summary
In the sixties, the idea of what is considered a good employer was already beginning to emerge, although it was not until the nineties that it gained momentum in Europe. From a theoretical point of view, this work aims to approach the employer brand, its importance among potential candidates in the job search, as well as to understand in detail the main factors that contribute to its proper management. From an empirical point of view, a model was proposed that included familiarity with the company and functional and symbolic attributes as determinants of the attractiveness of a company. The model was tested on a sample of 100 final-year undergraduate and master´s students who are about to enter the job market. The sample is proportionally distributed between both genders and the average age of the respondents is 25 years. The results of the study found that functional attributes (such as salary, location, and job stability) play a crucial role in the perception of a company´s attractiveness. Contrary to what was proposed, symbolic attributes did not significantly affect the attractiveness of the company.

Contrary to what was proposed, symbolic attributes did not significantly affect the attractiveness of the company.

Summary
This work aims to produce a report about Mercadona and the comparison of it with its main competitors, so for its elaboration it has chosen to carry out a financial economic analysis, using both percentages and ratios. In this way, the work is divided mainly into three parts, starting with a brief introduction about the company. An external analysis was then developed on its sector and an internal one to learn about the company's strategies and investments. Finally, the financial economic analysis was chosen, where both vertical and horizontal percentages were used, in addition to a series of ratios, which allow comparing the company's situation with its competitors during the period 2020-2022. As a conclusion, note that Mercadona is in financial equilibrium at c/p, even though some of its ratios don’t reach the desired levels, as is the case with liquidity, since the company is characterized by fast collections and dilated payments. Finally, mention the improved management of your warehouse and the company's ability to cover its debts with the AT.

Summary
The 2008 crisis was originated on 21 January 2008 in the United States as a result of the breakdown of the financial system due to the risks taken by the granting of mortgage loans by banking institutions. It was the most serious crisis since the Great Depression and can also be referred to as the subprime crisis. This project is divided into two parts, the first one putting the financial crisis in context, addressing the different causes, possible solutions and economic thinking related to the issue. The second part analyses the consequences through a comparative study of different countries, using the four most relevant macroeconomic indicators. From this analysis, it is concluded that Germany and Spain were the worst affected, while less developed countries such as China or Brazil hardly suffered serious consequences. The paper is 9,954 words long.

Summary
This study addresses the essential characteristics that distinguish the banking industry from its counterparts from a microeconomic perspective, highlighting the state of financial markets in the context of the 2008 financial crisis, while also examining the role of innovation as the primary driver of the banking system. A review of academic perspectives on banking system studies sheds light on its inherent weaknesses and questions its true utility in economic dynamics and its characteristic fragility. The analysis shows diverse pathways towards proper regulation and supervision of this sector, discussing key existing proposals and actions taken in a dynamic context defined by the change and evolution of entities, products, and services associated with banking activities.

Summary
In this study, we apply a dynamic version of the Gordon growth model to the Spanish housing market for the period from the second quarter of 1980 to the third quarter of 2023. The goal is to examine the determinants of fluctuations in the housing return rate through the Campbell-Shiller decomposition. To compute the expected values of the variables constituting this decomposition, we estimate a vector autoregressive model for the risk-free real interest rate, housing premia, rent growth, and a set of macroeconomic variables. We find that the main determinant of the variation in the return rate is the housing premia, while the interest rate and rental growth have a quantitatively minor importance.

Summary
A wind farm is a facility where wind turbines are grouped together to harness wind energy and convert it into electricity. These wind farms can be located on land or at sea and represent a renewable, clean, and sustainable energy source, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the mitigation of climate change. In the municipality of A Baña, located in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, the creation of a new wind farm called the Vilartoxo Wind Farm has been proposed, promising to boost the economic and social development of the region. This project includes the installation of several state-of-the-art wind turbines, capable of generating a significant amount of electricity that could supply both the local community and the surrounding areas. The future Vilartoxo Wind Farm will not only provide a source of clean energy but also bring direct economic benefits to the village. Job creation is expected during both the construction and operational phases, which will help reduce local unemployment and promote the develoment of technical skills within the community. Additionally, the presence of the wind farm may attract further investment and encourage sustainable tourism, given the growing interest in renewable energy and green technologies. From an environmental perspective, the wind farm will significantly contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, thereby decreasing the region's carbon footprint. The implementation of this project will also involve conducting environmental impact studies to ensure that potential effects on local wildlife and vegetation are minimized. The wind farm project in A Baña represents an opportunity for the local community to actively participate in the transition to a more sustainable energy model, benefiting both economically and socially. This farm will serve as an example of how renewable energy can be integrated into small communities, bringing tangible and lasting advantages.

Summary
This Degree Final Project analyzes the organization and structure of major sports competitions worldwide, focusing on the comparison between the North American and European governance models. It examines the differences in governance, regulation, and financial structure of sports clubs and franchises. The study reveals that North American leagues, being closed systems, provide financial stability to franchises, ensuring their continued participation and facilitating long-term planning. In contrast, European leagues, with promotion and relegation systems, increase competitiveness but introduce significant financial risk for relegated clubs, affecting their ability to attract investments. Mechanisms for financial balance and competition in North America, such as salary caps and the Draft system, are effective in maintaining financial equity and competitive equality, controlling costs, and equitably distributing talent. In Europe, although mechanisms like Financial Fair Play exist, they are not homogeneous and perpetuate competitive and economic inequality. Revenue sharing from television rights in North America is identical for each franchisee, promoting financial and competitive equality. In Europe, revenue sharing is based on sporting merit and club popularity, benefiting the most successful and perpetuating economic inequality. In terms of governance, North American leagues are self-governed by the franchises, allowing greater adaptation to their needs. In Europe, governance is shared between private leagues and national and international federations, introducing complexity and often less efficient management. The work concludes with recommendations to improve the management and balance of sports competitions, including the implementation of more equitable mechanisms, simplification of governance, diversification of income, and the adoption of good practices from other successful models.

Summary
This thesis focuses on the generational diversity that exists in the labour context and how this type of diversity affects human resources management. Its main objective is to check whether there are differences in the perception of values at work between Centennials (or Generation Z, those born after 1997) and the other generations that coexist today (BabyBoomers, Generation X and Generation Y). Specifically, it examines aspects such as job satisfaction, preference for stability or temporariness, leisure time, work-life balance and the intrinsic rewards of work. It aims to provide both empirical results and a theoretical framework to highlight the relevance of the coexistence of multiple generations in the workplace and how their different perspectives can affect firm performance. This is particularly relevant in an increasingly globalised and competitive world, where the proper management of generational diversity can become a strategic asset for companies. To carry out this research, a questionnaire was designed and applied to collect the responses of 112 participants from different generations. The results of the questionnaire revealed significant differences between Centennials and the rest of the generations for topics related to leisure time, preferences and current affairs. For example, it was found that Centennials have a more long-term vision compared to older generations and prefer a more human rather than professional treatment in the work environment. In contrast, the rest of the generations focus more on salary levels, autonomy at work, professional effort and job stability within the same company.

Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) is a concept that began to be studied relatively few years ago, so its research is constantly evolving. Therefore, this paper intends to delve deeper into its definition as well as its scales of measurement. To this end, it is divided into two parts, the first, a much more theoretical one that delves into the concept of human resources and its historical framework, sustainability with the theory of the three spheres and the objectives of sustainable development that may be related to human resources and sustainability. In the second part, mainly focused on a literature review of the GHRM concept, the definitions given by different authors for this concept are addressed, as well as the main scales used by various researchers. Then, taking into account the measurement scales and the work of Shah (2019), the factors most used by the main authors are distinguished. And finally, the conclusions of the two parts are drawn, as well as the identification of the limitations of the study and suggestions of areas for future research.

Summary
In the current context, the number of entrepreneurs has increased significantly due to various economic and social factors. Certain skills are crucial to successful entrepreneurship and that is why the objective of this research work is to know what these skills are within the financial field. In this sense, we will analyze the financial skills that an entrepreneur should have when starting a business. To achieve our goal, we have first investigated what training an entrepreneur requires. In addition, through various sources we have been able to learn about the situation of financial education in Spain and also its relevance in the business environment. Focusing more on financial competencies, we have carried out a review of the financial competencies framework of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (hereinafter, OECD), which has allowed us to know what knowledge, behaviors and attitudes within this field are recommended to know and possess in the early stages of a company's life. To complete this theoretical review, we have carried out an empirical analysis of a sample of possible future entrepreneurs to find out their perception of the importance of different financial knowledge when starting the path of entrepreneurship. The main conclusions of our research are that, in general, the level of financial education of the population is low, an idea that has been reinforced through our survey by not obtaining answers that reflect a clear understanding of what has been said by students with a possible entrepreneurial profile. This work consists of 7,818 words.

The main conclusions of our research are that, in general, the level of financial education of the population is low, an idea that has been reinforced through our survey by not obtaining answers that reflect a clear understanding of what has been said by students with a possible entrepreneurial profile. This work consists of 7,818 words.

Summary
The increase in the prodution and consumption of organic products in recent years makes it increasingly possible to replace this sector with conventional agriculture. These increases are largely the result of the new active and healthy lifestyle, although, in recent years, the socio-economic factor, the sustainability of the environment and its protection have begun to assume significant importance, enabling the development of sustainable agriculture and livestock that doesn´t abuse natural resources and doesn´t lead to a depletion of the environment or put the lives of future generations at risk as is the case with the conventional method. Therefore, this study (consisting of 9787 words) aims to give an image of how the consumption of organic food has evolved and how it is currently its commercialization and distribution without leaving aside the vision that reflects production in this and that allows us to the image of the sections mentioned above.

Summary
This work has two objectives as its purpose. The first is the proposal of a composite indicator for the Sustainable Development Goals. This composite indicator has been created for the four objectives located within the economic realm. These are 8, 9, 10 and 12. On these, a reduction of the total number of indicators is carried out leaving it with a framework of 16 partial indicators. One of the contributions that this research makes is to focus its framework on developed countries and, more specifically, on the European Union. This allows us to analyze how more generic and global objectives are transferred to a more specific geographical and economic context. The indicator uses goal programming as an aggregation method. This measures performance according to the deviations from the aspiration level which, in this case, has been set at the EU average. This provides relevant information for the management and improvement of development in the countries. The second main objective of the work is the application of this composite indicator for the 27 EU countries. The results of the indicator show a position of general weakness for Spain in comparison with the European Union average. If a comparison is made by regions in Europe, the map shows a more developed core around countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany, while those more peripheral countries, especially the south and east, show a weaker relative position. The analysis by partial indicators allows us to see if it is a generalized situation (majority case) or due to poor performance in a specific dimension (minority case). This work has 9924 words.

Summary
Beer is a product of recognized importance in our country, both from the perspective of domestic consumption and exports. Due to the few studies that address the issue of quantifying the factors that influence the demand for this beverage, in this work we will propose to establish these factors and estimate an internal demand function that determines beer consumption. According to economic theory, knowing the demand function makes it easier to evaluate the behavior of consumers and their reaction to changes in the price of the good, the price of other related goods and the size of the market. The work plan has been to establish a first general model that would include as explanatory variables all the possible factors that could influence its demand and, through a process of econometric analysis, modify it, eliminating non-significant variables. Finally, once the model has been chosen, a series of limitations and extensions have been proposed in order to continue with the proposed study.

Summary
The evolution of banking and indebtedness levels can explain the current situation of an economy at a macroeconomic level. Linked to this economic situation, the financial inclusion of the population could explain the access and availability of financial resources by households at a microeconomic level. For the study of these concepts, the Global Findex database provided by the World Bank has been used as the main source of information. It presents data for the period 2011-2021. The measurement of banking access uses main indicators such as current accounts, digital payments and savings, while, to process data on debt, the main existing indicator is usually loans. In addition to these indicators, for the processing of data, a comparison of countries has been made by their income level, classifying them into high, middle and low income countries. Financial inclusion in banks, both in current account holders and in digital payments, has grown throughout the period analysed, which suggests that it will continue to increase in the future and that the difference between countries with higher and lower income levels will gradually decrease. One of the reasons for this gap being reduced is the existence of greater accessibility to financial institutions online, facilitated by technological improvements. Regarding indebtedness, it should be noted that traditional loans continue to be the most used method, with a great disparity in the lender. Financial institutions are the main lender in countries with higher incomes, while family and friendship circles are the predominant ones in the other groups of countries.

Summary
Pensions in Spain represent around 40% of public spending, being the most important expense of the State. This expenditure is growing rapidly due to the increase in the number of pensioners while contribution income is reduced due to the lower birth rate in recent decades, creating an increasing deficit in the system. In this work, I will study the causes of the unviability of the pension system, describe alternative pension systems in other countries with similar economies and demographics, and give possible solutions to fix the current pension system. This work has a total of 9978 words.

Summary
Innovation is the cornerstone upon which the economic growth of Western society rests. Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the socio-economic model has been shifting away from the subsistence economy pattern, developing an ecosystem where constant business growth and development are crucial for the proper functioning of the economy, both at micro and macro levels. This constant growth is not achieved automatically, as companies across all productive sectors do not operate independently with guaranteed markets; they must compete for both productive resources and their influence and impact on consumer markets. This ecosystem has led to a sort of natural selection law, where to survive, one must innovate against competitors to avoid being outdone, resulting in the rise of those who innovated correctly and the decline of those who misinterpreted the market or failed to reinvent themselves. Generally, the technology and service sectors are seen as the primary hubs of innovation, while primary sectors are perceived as more static and resistant to change. Therefore, this work will explore the sources of innovation within a highly relevant primary sector, fishing. It will include a definition of the various methods of innovation a company can encounter and a brief analysis of potential triggers for these changes. Subsequently, three companies of different sizes will be selected for a brief study on the application of these models and the factors most relevant in driving innovation in the fishing sector

The objective of this Final Degree Project is to have a deeper knowledge of the entities of the Third Sector, investigating aspects such as the scope of action of these entities, their financing, the role of women within the sector, income and expenses, among other areas of interest for the research. For its realization, not only a bibliographic review was carried out, but also an interview was conducted through the Microsoft Teams platform with the president of an entity of this sector, which allowed us to obtain very valuable information to respond to our interests. The results obtained were a need for diversification of funding, a sector where small entities predominate but budgets are managed by a minority of large entities and the answer to the research question where the results point to a lack of support from the Public Administration and excessive bureaucracy that hinders the normal activity especially of small entities.

Summary
In most of Western Europe, the establishment of the Fordist economic model after the Second World War was fundamental to the emergence of modern consumer society. Despite this, modernization processes, although sharing similar characteristics, have shown notable variations at the national level, sometimes linked to different forms of capitalism. The Spanish case is especially notable due to the political, social and economic conditions in which the consumer society was created, marked by the presence of an authoritarian regime in a semi-peripheral country, where industrialization and the Fordist model did not reach their full development. In the first part of this work, we propose to analyze this model of Spanish consumption, highlighting its particularities and its evolution throughout the last decades of the 20th century. In the second part, we will delve into the study of the national perfume industry and the most prominent companies of the time. In total, the work has an extension of 9,802 words.

The objective of this work is to conduct a diagnosis of the olive oil company Aceites Abril S.L., based on an economic-financial analysis carried out through vertical and horizontal analyses of its financial statements and the calculation of a series of ratios, as well as its comparison with a group of companies in the sector. To achieve this, the work will be structured into four main sections. The first will provide an introduction to the company, highlighting its history and some of the most relevant data. The second will offer a brief context of the sector in which it operates and the company's strategy, and the third will address the economic-financial analysis, delving into the study of solvency, profitability, and risk. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations based on the analysis will be presented, being transparent about the study's limitations and suggesting possible areas for future research. Among the conclusions, the higher economic and financial profitability of the company compared to the analyzed comparison group stands out. Additionally, a structural problem in the sector related to a high level of debt, especially in the short term, can be observed, but in the case of Aceites Abril, this is offset by a gradual increase in cash flow and liquidity. The work consists of 9,904 words.

Summary
This work analyses migration in Galicia from the mid-18th century to the present day. It shows the main stages of emigration and immigration, as well as the evolution of the migratory balance, the moments of change of sign and the explanatory factors of these changes. Throughout the period analysed, Galicia went from being a region of net emigration to one of net return and net immigration. Likewise, in both outflows and inflows, differentiated stages emerge, sometimes due to strong changes in the volumes of flows and on other occasions due to changes in the origins, nationalities, age cohorts and participation of men and women in migration. In the main period covered by this study, 2000-2021, there are three distinct stages in immigration in Galicia: 2000-2009, 2009-2014 and 2014-2021; in the initial and final stages, immigration acquires relatively high and growing volumes and, on the contrary, in the central stage, immigration is greatly reduced. The different economic cycles experienced by the Galician economy are behind the explanation of the successive trends in each of these stages.

Summary
This Final Degree Project deals with the main characteristics of the most relevant indirect tax in our country, due to its great capacity to generate significant income: Value Added Tax (VAT). This paper presents the operation of the tax in relation to the reference regulations, the Value Added Tax Law (VAT), and its importance through its historical evolution, the comparison with other taxes of great relevance in Spain, and its action and involvement in other European countries, more specifically, those belonging to the European Union (EU). The main theme of this paper is based on international operations and the operation of the tax in each of them. The operation of VAT differs from the cross-border transaction in question, which could be an export, an import or an intra-community transaction. Once the study of the operation of VAT in the main international operations has been carried out, cross-border services are studied in a more complete way. Among them, the services provided by electronics, as a result of the great advance in technology, and specifically, E-Commerce. Finally, the reverse charge mechanism through which the responsibility for the payment of the tax is transferred from the seller to the buyer is presented. It is essential when discussing business operations with other countries by facilitating the transaction and simplifying the foreign seller's tax obligations.

Summary
This work explores two perspectives on consumer behavior: the Classical Theory of Consumer Preferences, which focuses on rationality and utility maximization, and a new proposal, the Myopic Consumer Theory, which introduces an alternative approach considering cognitive limitations and short-term-based decisions. The implications of cognitive limitation in consumer decision-making are analyzed, including the tendency to prioritize immediate gratification and the lack of consideration for future impacts. This alternative approach offers a more realistic perspective aligned with actual consumption dynamics, challenging the premise of absolute rationality. The main objective of the work is to present the Myopic Consumer Theory and contrast its viability through the study of a discrete choice case. The case study's interest lies in its similarity to a situation of cognitive limitation. An analysis will be conducted based on equations derived from the research of Dalalah, Hayajneh, and Sanajleh (2015), using the dataset from Wu and Gonzalez (1996), which presents experimental results on decision-making in risky situations. The methodology will focus on examining consistency in individual choices and determining whether there is a clear preference for a specific type of option, whether risk-loving, risk-neutral, or risk-averse. An interpretation of the results is carried out, along with a comparison with optimal choice following the principle of rationality. Finally, the most important conclusions drawn from this study are summarized, along with potential extensions left open for future work.

Summary
In this work, a study of inequality is carried out due to the impact of inflation. The causes that have given rise to this socioeconomic problem in recent years will be developed, as well as the most influential variables of our economy that have helped develop said inequality. Based on recent experiences in economic stabilization, the idea has been established that even though stabilization has led to increases in growth rates, the benefits have not reached the entire population, especially the lower classes. This concern is aggravated when it is observed that the initial costs of stabilization fall more heavily on the poorest population. This concern, together with the lack of empirical evidence in this area, motivated the present work, which will analyze the relationship between inflation and inequality. In this way, an evaluation of the impact of inflation on inequality will be carried out.

Summary
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in today's business context, as investors value the results of sustainable practices more than financial results. This research analyses the relationship between sustainable practices and the firm’s performance of companies listed on the Ibex35. To measure sustainable practices, ESG scores estimated by the Eikon platform were used, which are related to the financial performance of companies using panel data estimation models with random effects. Analyses were carried out with the total sample and separating those companies that belong to the construction and electricity sectors. The results for the 31 companies for which we have complete information on all the variables of interest were not significant. However, for the electricity sector, the relationship is significant but negative. For the construction sector, a positive and significant relationship was found for the total ESG scores, the environmental pillar and the social pillar. Concerning the corporate governance pillar, the relationship between the variables is significant and negative

Summary
En este Trabajo de Fin de Grado (TFG) se presenta un análisis sobre la inmigración que reside en España en el Siglo XXI, teniendo en cuenta su lugar de procedencia, el perfil de los inmigrantes y como éstos se integran en el mercado laboral español. Debido a la posición geográfica, a la economía y a lazos culturales, España se ha convertido en los últimos años en un destino muy atractivo para los inmigrantes, aunque se observan fluctuaciones en el número de inmigrantes que están viviendo en nuestro territorio debido a factores económicos, sociales o políticos que tienen lugar tanto en España como en los países de origen. Para realizar el análisis se emplean estadísticas del Ministerio de Inclusión, Seguridad Social y Migraciones que muestran una gran diversidad de nacionalidades entre los inmigrantes que residen en España. Los principales países de origen son Rumanía, Marruecos e Italia. Además de la procedencia, también se analiza el perfil de los inmigrantes considerando el sexo y la edad relacionando directamente estas variables con el continente y los países de procedencia de los inmigrantes. El análisis revela diferencias significativas dependiendo del origen de los inmigrantes. Un ejemplo es la diferencia en la composición por sexo entre los inmigrantes procedentes de América, en los que el número de mujeres es superior al de hombres y África, dónde ocurre la situación opuesta. En la última parte del análisis se estudia el volumen de inmigrantes afiliados a la Seguridad Social por sexo, grupos de edad, y origen de los inmigrantes. Para realizar un análisis más profundo se estudian los diferentes regímenes de afiliación que existen en España. En la realización del análisis anterior se emplean un gran número de gráficas para facilitar su comprensión y exponer los datos de la forma más clara posible.

Summary
The objective of this work is to analyze the evolution of REITs in Spain between 2020 and 2022, through an economic-financial analysis. This includes analysis of vertical and horizontal percentages, short and long-term liquidity, profitability and financial leverage. The main companies from the four sectors in which these companies invest the most have been chosen: Merlín Properties and Trajano Iberia (mixed sector), Testa Residencial and Fidiere Patrimony (housing sector), Inmobiliaria Colonial and GMP Property (office sector), and Lar Spain and Castellana Properties (retail sector). SOCIMIs have a special regime with tax benefits, and can value their properties using the fair value or the cost model. Despite the challenges, REITs have proven to be effective instruments for investment in the Spanish real estate market, offering benefits and opportunities for future growth.

A cervexa é a principal bebida alcohólica consumida en España, feita a base de cebada fermentada, xunto con outras plantas, como lúpulo. Actualmente temos a idea de que esta é parte das nosas tradicións e de ser un símbolo da nosa cultura, mais isto non foi sempre así, como veremos. Neste proxecto tratarei toda a historia de este beberaxe no noso país, comezando có seu orixe na prehistoria e avanzando polas épocas ata o século XIX, cando tras séculos de ser escasamente consumida e practicamente descoñecida na península comeza a volver a producirse de xeito paulatino, grazas á chegada de empresarios capitalistas foráneos que poríana de moda. Unha vez chegados ao século XX, que é propiamente o contido do proxecto, analizarei máis a fondo as tendencias e as chaves que fixeron posible o renacer da cervexa no noso país e como esta industria condenada a un papel insignificante foi gañando terreo aos poucos, e como finalmente acabaría consolidándose como unha industria punteira e superando ao seu maior competidor, o viño. Ademais de que nas distintas fases poderemos ir analizando as grandes dificultades impostas dende as administracións e dende o exterior que terían que enfrontar e como estes empresarios con solucións moi orixinais acabaran acadando seus obxectivos e consolidándose nun panorama complicado como pode ser o século XX en España. Neste paseo pola historia, tamén iremos analizando o contexto socioeconómico do país e como este sector contribuíu a cambiar a situación na que nos encontrabamos e a acadar o nivel de vida que temos actualmente. Así mesmo, dediquei unhas liñas a examinar cales son as perspectivas e obxectivos do sector no futuro nun país con cada vez máis problemas. Isto ira acompañando a unha conclusión, onde reflexionarase todo o dito anteriormente para facernos unha idea da verdadeira importancia que tivo, ten e probablemente terá esta industria no noso país.

Summary
In a world in which commitment to social and environmental causes is becoming increasingly strong, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) becomes the main response for companies to survive in the face of the growing complexity of the competitive environment. It's a matter of acquiring a voluntary commitment to the well-being of the community in general, adopting a set of actions in various areas. In this sense, the objectives of this paper are to delve into the concept of CSR and, especially, to investigate from Generation Z perspective how the attributions they make about the company's CSR motives (substantive or symbolic) are related to its attractiveness, as well as the possible moderating effect of social or environmental passion in these relationships. To this end, 122 people have been surveyed. The results obtained show a clear positive influence of substantive attributions on enterprise attractiveness, while no significant effect of symbolic attributions has been found. Although passion, as a global construct, is not observed to moderate the relationship, it has been found that social passion reinforces the positive effect of substantive attributions on attractiveness.

Summary
This thesis provides a theoretical introduction and contextualisation of process automation using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology. Starting with an analysis of the historical context of process automation and the evolution of RPA, exploring historical facts from its beginnings to the present day. This is followed by an analysis of the different technologies and the main automation platforms, analysing the different tools they offer and the characteristics of each one. The importance in recent years of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the development and operation of RPA is also addressed. On the other hand, it addresses the crucial question of which processes are susceptible to automation, identifying the different criteria and characteristics that processes must have in order to be successfully automated and maximise the benefits of RPA technology. The paper also discusses in detail the steps necessary to carry out process automation with RPA, from identifying the candidate process to implementing the technology and monitoring the results. It also delves into the impact of RPA on operational efficiency, concluding with some case studies of using automation with Microsoft Power Automate that could be of interest to SMEs and students.

Summary
In this bibliographic project, the aim is to defend the idea that Galician agriculture was not characterized by profound backwardness but rather was immersed in a prolonged process of productive specialization that has evolved up to the present day. This work offers an overview of the evolution of agriculture in Galicia from the 19th century to the 21st century. To do this, we highlight some of the most important events that have taken place over the analyzed period, such as the late 19th-century agrarian crisis, Francoism, and Spain's accession to the EEC, while also focusing on the main transformations experienced by two fundamental pillars of agriculture: crops and forests. Finally, the most important conclusions of the work are presented, projecting a general vision of the most significant stages that led to the process of specialization in Galician agriculture.

Summary
This work will seek to provide an analysis of the current situation of the Social Economy in Galicia, putting Labor Insertion Companies at the center. For this, we will begin by providing a brief introduction explaining the concept of Social Economy, as well as the main entities that form it. In addition, the legislation followed by this type of organizations, both state and regional, will also be explained, but without leaving aside the regulations of the European Union. Later on, an analysis of the Insertion Companies in Galicia will be detailed, providing for this the number of companies that exist, their turnover, number of people hired, sectors to which they belong, provincial location, subsidies received... Having explained this and to put the previously stated information in context, a brief presentation will be made of the situation of this type of entities in the Spanish State as a whole, in order to have a general vision of it. To conclude this work, we will comment on an aspect that is increasingly having more weight in all companies in the productive fabric: digitalization. In this case, it will be observed how it affects the Galician Insertion Companies, both their employees and the company itself. Aspects such as training in Information and Communication Technologies for employees, the insertion of disabled people into the labor market and how European digitalization plans affect companies will also be discussed.

Summary
This essay aims to carry out an analysis of housing accessibility. In the first part, a study of the socio-political and legislative concept of housing and its accessibility in its historical context is carried out. In the second part, various indices of access to housing are considered and applied to the case of Galicia. As a result of the first part of the analysis, the access rates are selected by the cross-cutting nature of housing and its link to a wide variety of socio-economic spheres. Furthermore, in an attempt to situate the study in a defined geographical area and to consider in particular some of the factors that influence access to housing, the impact of tourism in the city of Santiago de Compostela is analyzed concerning housing. The main conclusions are that despite the right to housing being a primary social right, it is limited by political opportunism that leads to systemic difficulties in access to housing. Rising prices and foreign investment in housing, together with the declining purchasing power of households, reinforce the structural problems that make housing unaffordable. A paradigm shift is needed in the administration to reduce market diversity at the State level in connection with the tourism industry, and to urge accountability of investment funds that lead to exclusion of the population, especially those most vulnerable.

Summary
In recent years, a new model of production and consumption has been promoted, called Circular Economy, which seeks to replace the current linear economic model for a circular one in order to make the production and consumption system more sustainable. One of the strategies used to achieve this transition is reparation, technique by which defective goods are fixed so that they continue to be a longer time in the economy and they don´t generate waste. The European Union, with the intention of encouraging this activity, has established a new “right to repair”, to restrict planned obsolescence practices and support consumer rights. Different business models that encourage repair and maintenance and could get benefited from this right will be presented in this essay, whether traditional, innovative or of social initiative. This essay has a length of 8.663 words.

Summary
Tourism has become one of the main economic sectors in Spain, and the St James Way is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Galicia. The constant flow of pilgrims generates economic, sociocultural, and demographic impacts in the host cities. In this context, this Final Degree Project (TFG) analyzes the relevance of the impact of the Portuguese Way in one of the key cities on its route: Tui. To carry out the analysis, two municipalities with similar sociodemographic characteristics that maintained a similar evolution from 1991-2001 have been selected: Verín and O Barco de Valdeorras (which we consider neighbouring towns from a socioeconomic point of view). The period 2011-2023 evolution of the main demographic and labour indicators shows a more intense positive dynamic in Tui, which at least partially must be linked to its strategic location on the St James Way.

Summary
This Final Degree Project has 9,907 words and its main objective is based on the analysis of poverty and social exclusion in the different countries of the European Union, taking into account the evolution of different variables, as well as one of the most relevant policies in this aspect, such as the ESF and the recent ESF+, which played a very important role in the period of the crisis. The ESF+ is a program created for the period 2021-2027 with a funding of 142,762 million euros (taking into account the 762 million from the EaSi) and with the objective to strengthen and ensure equal employment opportunities as well as to favor a solid education that competes with early school leaving (European Commission, 2020). In addition, this fund has an important role in the dissipation of the recent pandemic. To carry it out we will mainly use data provided by Eurostat for the European level and we will also analyze the situation of Spain in the mentioned context using the INE. Through their databases we will analyze the situation of both territories according to the AROPE rate, unemployment, the percentage of school dropouts according to other variables such as age, sex. We will study the evolution of these indicators comparing them between the different countries to also obtain conclusions in the years of the pandemic. In the results we will observe a different evolution between the AROPE rate, which does not achieve very positive results in the years of the fund existence, and the indicators studied in the education world in UE. On the other hand, as already mentioned, we will observe the Spanish case in this context by analyzing the corresponding ESF+ variables and aid, which show an evolution very similar to that of the EU but, in cases such as school dropout, higher than the European average.
This Final Degree Project has 9,907 words and its main objective is based on the analysis of poverty and social exclusion in the different countries of the European Union, taking into account the evolution of different variables, as well as one of the most relevant policies in this aspect, such as the ESF and the recent ESF+, which played a very important role in the period of the crisis. The ESF+ is a program created for the period 2021-2027 with a funding of 142,762 million euros (taking into account the 762 million from the EaSi) and with the objective to strengthen and ensure equal employment opportunities as well as to favor a solid education that competes with early school leaving (European Commission, 2020). In addition, this fund has an important role in the dissipation of the recent pandemic. To carry it out we will mainly use data provided by Eurostat for the European level and we will also analyze the situation of Spain in the mentioned context using the INE. Through their databases we will analyze the situation of both territories according to the AROPE rate, unemployment, the percentage of school dropouts according to other variables such as age, sex. We will study the evolution of these indicators comparing them between the different countries to also obtain conclusions in the years of the pandemic. In the results we will observe a different evolution between the AROPE rate, which does not achieve very positive results in the years of the fund existence, and the indicators studied in the education world in UE. On the other hand, as already mentioned, we will observe the Spanish case in this context by analyzing the corresponding ESF+ variables and aid, which show an evolution very similar to that of the EU but, in cases such as school dropout, higher than the European average.

Summary
This study, throughout its 7404 words, examines the different theories of decision making under a framework of uncertainty. It moves from the assumption of the individual as a rational agent capable of handling perfect information, to unraveling a much more complex reality in which the individual lacks complete rationality and the information that exists is incomplete and biased. These limitations prevent the individual from knowing, understanding and processing it fully in order to make optimal decisions. Decision making under uncertainty is explored from two complementary perspectives: individual and business. This integrated approach will allow a deeper understanding of how theoretical principles apply in different contexts and how individual decisions can influence organizational decisions. It examines the decision-making process, its phases and the constraints faced by the firm when deciding under uncertainty. Consideration is given to both the factors over which the company can exercise direct control (internal factors) and those over which it cannot have direct influence and which make up its environment (external factors).

Summary
The main objective of this work is to provide a theoretical and practical approach to the concept of mathematics applied to economics. On the one hand, we will begin by introducing a historical framework in which the different economic schools will be used, in chronological order, and their mathematical applications to the field of business. These contributions can be defined by means of formulas, images or graphs. Once the historical bases have been established, the main mathematical foundations continue to be shown, where the most important concepts used in the business world are dealt with. Among these concepts we can find elasticity, optimisation or differential and integral calculus in economics. The work concludes by analysing the practical applications in the field of politics, evaluating monetary and fiscal policy and the impact of these policies, with different representative models in each of the cases. In compliance with current regulations, the length of this work is 9868 words.

Summary
The aim of this work is the economic-financial analysis of the Cooperativa de Vitivinícola Arousana. S.C Gallega, studying its economic-financial ratios, as well as their evolution over the last 4 financial years and its position in relation to a group of companies in its sector of activity. In particular, the short and long term financial study has been carried out by calculating and analysing percentages, ratios and profitability, concluding that the company presents a better financial position in general than the comparison group. Paco y Lola presents better conditions in the short term than in the long term. In the long term, the group has greater financial autonomy and lower indebtedness than the company. However, in the short term, the company has higher solvency, liquidity and cash ratios, although it needs to improve its payment terms.

Summary
This work focuses on the study of female labor participation through the comparative analysis of two Latin American countries: Argentina and Brazil. The period selected for the investigation covers from 2012 to 2022. Both countries, although they have close participation rates, show different behavior with respect to the Latin average, since in Argentina the rates are below the average, while those of Brazil are superiors. At the beginning, the importance of the female presence in the workplace is presented. Subsequently, the possible causes of this different evolution are explained, analyzing some of the factors that influence female participation, such as fertility, marital status, level of education and dedication to unpaid work, among others. It includes both existing measures and government policies that favor the central indicator of work in both countries. As main results, it is observed that some of the factors that can explain the higher participation rates in Brazil are the lower number of children per woman and the lower influence of marriage, since the differences between married and single women are smaller than in Argentina. . Added to this is the lower exclusive dedication to unpaid work, the higher participation of women with medium and higher educational levels, along with the higher PLF in the youngest age groups.

Summary
The objective of this work is first of all to analyze the digitalization of the economy and the use of digital technologies in companies, focusing especially on the phenomenon of teleworking in Spain. The Covid-10 pandemic has acted as a catalyst for a significant change in work practices, driving numerous companies to adopt teleworking as we will see in this document. The study analyzes empirical data provided by the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Through this research, patterns and trends are identified in the frequency, geographical distribution and demographic characteristics of teleworkers in 2023. In addition, the benefits and challenges of teleworking for both employees and employers are explored. The analysis reveals how teleworking has been adopted in different ways in the different autonomous communities and sectors of economic activity.

Summary
This paper begins by explaining the main differences between the most common price indicators (inflation, deflation and CPI), and then focuses on the current methodology of the CPI, which is one of the main indicators at the Spanish level due to its applications in various areas of great importance. In the next step, the historical evolution of the CPI is analyzed from its origin at the end of the Civil War to the present and the main changes it has undergone throughout its history are obtained. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the current methodology of the CPI and the main changes it has undergone over time in order to create an indicator that is increasingly closer to reality with greater dynamism and timeliness. The study consists of 7,466 words.

Summary
The financial sector is immersed in a stage of change driven by the fourth technological transformation, composed of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Big Data, among others. This final degree project (TFG) aims to analyze how these technological innovations are revolutionizing financial operations and how organizations are adapting to these changes through a more agile approach, where data becomes the central axis guiding decision-making. Throughout this work, we will explore how this evolution is taking place by analyzing three elements that have radically evolved as a result of this revolution: culture, data, and technology. In each of these sections, the changes and approaches adopted by companies will be examined, as well as the opportunities and risks that may arise if transformation processes are not properly managed. The analysis is structured as follows: Culture: How organizations are modifying their corporate culture to foster the innovation and adaptability necessary in a digitalized environment will be investigated. The importance of promoting an open mindset to change and interdisciplinary collaboration will be highlighted. Data: The central role of data in strategic decision-making will be analyzed, including how this data is managed and protected in a context of increasing concern for cybersecurity and privacy. Technology: The integration of technologies such as Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, APIs, and smartphones in financial processes will be evaluated, highlighting both the potential benefits and the technical and operational challenges. Finally, the main opportunities and risks associated with digitalization will be compiled, and ethical risks, particularly those associated with autonomous decision-making based on data, will be addressed.

Summary
Innovation is currently presented as a fundamental process in the development of companies and countries. The continuous arrival of new technologies, access to information, and globalization make innovation an important point in the advancement of society, as well as a critical factor for the survival of entities, the economies of countries, and, in summary, success. In the following work, we will begin by addressing the conceptualization of the term innovation, and thus, the study of the implications that this concept has had over the years. Additionally, we will conduct an analysis through the European Innovation Scoreboard report, prepared annually by the European Commission, which provides a comparative evaluation of innovation performance of the member states of the European Union and other associated countries, to understand how this report is developed and what components are considered in its preparation. Next, we will focus on the comparison of countries at the national level, with a comparison between the countries designated by the EIS report as moderate innovators. Among this group of countries is Spain, a country that will be reflected accordingly and through the analysis of the different indicators of the report, which indicators have shown better performance and which have been deficient in relation to this group. Finally, we will focus on the main objective of the work, the comparison between the regions of Northern Portugal and Galicia, starting with a small study of different socioeconomic and cultural indicators, and then balancing the existing differences in innovation between both regions through the Regional Innovation Scoreboard report, thus trying to examine the factors that contribute to the difference in performance between both neighboring regions.

Summary
In this work, an extensive economic-financial analysis of Almirall has been carried out. Some basic data has been introduced about its structure, its history... and then begins an in-depth analysis of its field of activity (pharmaceutical sector), its internal structure and the composition of its financial statements. After calculating various indicators and ratios that show the financial situation in both the short and long term compared to one of its main competitors (Rovi), it is concluded that our company is at a disadvantage. The main problem, despite the good results of the activity shown by indicators such as the INCN, is the heavy debt and the large operating and financial expenses that eat away at all that potential. This work consists of 9.981 palabras.

Summary
The following study presents the GARCH-DCC methodology applied to the diversification of the Brazilian BOVESPA index, combining it with the OVX and STOXX50 indices. The objective is to analyze investing possibilities in stocks from developing countries, using Brazil as a case study. The GARCH-DCC model estimates the volatilities and dynamic conditional correlations of the three assets, and this will subsequently allow us to analyze the best diversification option. The results obtained indicate that the optimal diversification of portfolios is achieved with the STOXX50 index.

Summary
In this paper we will study the changes undergone by the Spanish beekeeping sector during the 20th century up to the present day. It is extremely important to emphasise the changes that took place in the mid-19th century, which revolutionised this sector forever. In this time lapse is where we move from a fixed beekeeping, with the limitations derived from the traditions of each village, to the most modern beekeeping with the hand of mobilism. We will also see the importance in the sector of the two most important products that we associate with bees, honey and wax, as well as how these structural changes affect each of the products. Finally, we will look at the importance and weight of this sector in each autonomous community at national level, in order to observe the changes in trends, as well as which areas have a greater contribution to the national agglomerate and to see the changes that occur over several years. In order to carry out this study, didactic tools have been used such as academic search engines, statistical data obtained from different official sources, different scientific articles have been searched from which information has been obtained to make up the work and a beekeeping manual has also been used. The work consists of 8654 words.

Summary
BMW IBÉRICA, S.A.U., a subsidiary of the German automobile manufacturer BMW, is a Spanish company dedicated to the sale of automobiles and light motor vehicles. This company operates in a sector particularly affected by the circumstances derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and other geopolitical conflicts, as well as by the supply crisis, and more specifically, by the microchip crisis. The aim of this work is to analyse the economic and financial situation of BMW IBÉRICA, S.A.U. and its evolution in the period 2018-2022, through the study of its payment capacity in the short and long term and the analysis of its profitability and risk levels. With this, a diagnosis of the company will be carried out in order to know its historical evolution and its current situation, and with this, possible proposals for improvement will be put forward. In addition, the time period analysed will make it possible to investigate, albeit tentatively, the possible impact of the crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's accounting results. The results derived from the study show a clear effect of the pandemic on the automotive sector in 2020, with a particularly negative impact on BMW Ibérica's results relative to those of its main competitors. However, the company has been able to recover quickly to return to pre-pandemic levels and continue to be one of the leading companies in the sector. This work consists of 9,864 words.

Summary
The importance that uncertain assets have gained throughout history places them today as an indispensable element of the financial economy. Therefore, it is necessary to have calculation methods that reduce the error in predicting its behavior as much as possible. This work presents three valuation models, with a focus on one of the most used models, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). This model requires the prior development of the mean-variance valuation model and its concepts such as the variance of returns and the volatility of asset portfolios. At the end of the first part, we explain a third model known as Arrow-Debreu asset valuation. This differs from the previous ones and uses a new concept of assets with payments of one monetary unit in a specific state of nature and 0 in all others to calculate the desired asset returns. In the second part of the work we carry out an empirical contrast of the CAPM model, checking its applicability to real data and we study the problems it presents, proposing possible solutions. Our study reveals that the general contrast method of the CAPM model presents an econometric problem that can be solved through the two-stage contrast of Fama and MacBeth. However, it is only exemplified in this work. Despite the demonstrated problems and limitations, the CAPM is a model of relevant importance in the valuation of current uncertain assets

Summary
The main idea of this work is to address the concept of a cooperative, as well as the factors that determine its creation. First, the concept of a cooperative is analyzed using the International Cooperative Alliance's Cooperative Identity Statement as the main reference. Next, a brief overview of the legal regulations governing cooperatives is presented. Subsequently, a section is dedicated exclusively to the phenomenon of cooperative creation and the analysis of the factors that influence it. In this section, the focus is first on the tax advantages and public policies linked to this business model. Then, other factors that also influence the formation of cooperatives are analyzed through a literature review. Finally, to address a series of hypotheses about the determinants of cooperative creation, an econometric model is presented to explain the phenomenon of cooperative creation in Galicia using six explanatory variables, including the unemployment rate, Gross Domestic Product, and the percentage of cooperatives formed out of the total number of companies formed. These three variables are significant when estimating the model coefficients by the Ordinary Least Squares method. The results obtained from the estimation show that the unemployment rate and the percentage of cooperatives formed out of the total number of companies formed positively influence the creation of cooperatives, and that the positive evolution of the Gross Domestic Product is also positively related to the increase in the number of cooperatives formed.

Summary
In this paper we analyze the environmental effects of foreign trade for Latin America in the context of the 2008 crisis. First we collect the existing literature on the relationship between trade and environmental impact, the importance of global value chains in Latin America and how the impact of the 2008 crisis was in this region. In order to study the impact of the crisis on the environment, an analysis of the main indicators of CO2 emissions for seven Latin American countries and for the period from 2000 to 2014 is carried out to study pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis trends. The indicators were obtained from the TiVA database (Trade in Value Added) of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). Subsequently, the conclusions that are obtained after the analysis are synthesized, the main one being that in general, CO2 emissions increased in the period under review and this growth is only interrupted in 2009 by lower global demand as a result of the crisis. Finally, the limitations of the work, the possible extensions and the bibliography used for its realization are presented. The number of words is 6.469 words.

Summary
This bachelor's thesis aims to analyze the evolution of the labor market for people with disabilities (PCD) primarily between the years 2017 and 2022, with the goal of comparing the situation before and after the COVID-19 crisis. The key motivations driving this work include analyzing the challenges experienced by this group, PCD, for their proper integration into society, specifically in the labor market, and quantitatively and qualitatively measuring the impact of the mentioned crisis on the labor market that comprises these individuals. Regarding methodology, analyses were conducted using data primarily extracted from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), although other databases such as the Public Employment Service (SEPE) or the Galician Institute of Statistics (IGE) were also highlighted. These data primarily pertain to the working-age population with disabilities, and comparisons were also made using data from people without disabilities (PSD), incorporating different disaggregations of the data or focusing on more specific population samples as needed for deeper analysis. The participation of PCD in the labor market will be analyzed at the national level to understand the reality presented by Spain as a whole regarding these issues. Subsequently, regional levels will be addressed, and finally, there will be a specific focus on Galicia to observe the differences across various areas of the territory and the factors influencing them within the context of the health and economic crisis. The intention is to comprehend the situation of this population segment in order to raise awareness and promote the development of new avenues for the proper integration of this group into society.

Summary
This paper aims to analyse the determinants of employment in European Union (EU) countries over the period from 2000 to 2022. For this purpose, a panel data approach is used, which allows combining atemporal and temporal time series, combining the data of the variables influencing employment for each country and for each year. The model results confirm the variables influencing employment growth, using an econometric analysis of fixed effects model with autocorrelation correction requirement and log-log functional form. Dummy variables on the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 pandemic crisis are included. It concludes that economic growth, analysed by the GDP variable, is the most influential variable on employment.

Summary
This Final Degree Thesis will be dedicated to addressing an essential part of the market and the Welfare state for our society as a whle, such as the unpaid care work sector, one that has been overlooked for such a long time, in part because of the figure who is usually in charge of this type of task: women. This thesis will begin by defining a series of key concepts for a complete understanding of the situation, to then list different historical figures related to this area. Afterwards, we will address both sides of the same coin: analyzing the situation of two large groups of care recipients, such as children and the elderly, as well as how demographic change is affecting their current and future situation. Thus, we will also study the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on both groups, to then propose a series of public policies in various areas that could help these groups achieve greater well-being. Ultimately, it aims to highlight the need to recognize and value unpaid care work, from an approach that includes state reforms to achieve a more equitable and fair society. This work has 8.351 words.

Summary
The present study addresses the measurement of gender-based segregation in the Spanish labor market, a persistent and complex phenomenon that negatively impacts equality between men and women. Through a review of existing literature and analysis of 2022 data, the study explores gender-based labor inequalities and discrimination, with a particular focus on vertical and horizontal segregation. The causes and consequences of these circumstances will be presented, with an emphasis on the difficulties that women face in accessing, occupying, or being promoted to certain positions or sectors. To realize the aforementioned objectives, various indices will be employed to measure occupational inequality and gender segregation. These measures allow for a deep understanding of the distribution of men and women in the labor market and reveal significant segregation patterns. Finally, the work concludes with the main ideas drawn from the literature review and data analysis, also including a set of proposals to combat inequalities and potential lines of research that could complement the study.

Summary
This work will focus on the importance of the economic and environmental impact of sport fishing in Galicia, for which research will be carried out with the aim of obtaining various data from people who practice sport fishing. To do this, a survey will be carried out and distributed to sport fishermen from different areas using digital forms through Google Forms. Once these data are obtained, the following aspects (personal characteristics of each fisherman, economic aspects, environmental aspects and institutional aspects) regarding sport fishing will be analyzed. Finally, once these data have been analyzed, we will try to estimate the economic and environmental importance that sport fishing has in Galicia.
This work will focus on the importance of the economic and environmental impact of sport fishing in Galicia, for which research will be carried out with the aim of obtaining various data from people who practice sport fishing. To do this, a survey will be carried out and distributed to sport fishermen from different areas using digital forms through Google Forms. Once these data are obtained, the following aspects (personal characteristics of each fisherman, economic aspects, environmental aspects and institutional aspects) regarding sport fishing will be analyzed. Finally, once these data have been analyzed, we will try to estimate the economic and environmental importance that sport fishing has in Galicia.

Summary
This paper aims to address the changes, both demographic and socio-economic, that the recent COVID-19 pandemic brought about in rural Galicia. For that, we will begin by summarising the trends in rural areas of Galicia in previous decades. On that basis, using a series of selected indicators, their evolution in recent years is analysed to compare the extent to which COVID-19 marked a turning point. As a complement to this empirical analysis, a series of reflections are provided, based on a review of the literature, to what extent the pandemic has opened up new opportunities for revitalizing rural areas. Finally, a comparative analysis of the Galician development is made with that observed in the rural environment of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, to detect the differences and similarities between both territories.

Summary
This work develops the multilevel importance of diet composition in modern human populations, highlighting its effect in health and showing how both are rooted in individual socioeconomic context. Current predominant nutritional trends entail an evident risk regarding health standards and sustainability in the long run. The introduction of processed foods over the last decades, increasingly more widespread, has compromised our population´s health status. Moreover, the increase of malnutrition, not due to a lack of food, but because of a disproportionate intake of a low nutritional value diet, has favoured the spread of cardiovascular diseases and obesity, to name a few. Despite higher nutritional quality diets tend to imply a higher monetary cost, choosing a healthy and balanced diet is economically possible and within reach. There is a wide variety of foods, but selecting those that supply health benefits requires a permanent nutritional education, which makes the individual´s enviroment a key factor when it comes to planning their diet. The Nutrition Transition model, was formulated in the latter years of the 20th century, relating economic income, diet and health. This model has been reviewed, focusing on the possibility of reversing detrimental diet habits that are currently the standard for many human populations. For that purpose, a behavioural individual change is needed, strengthened by education and awareness. Governmental commitments must also be achieved, in order to favour patterns of nutritive food consumption. This patterns will have an influence on human health quality, and will also contribute to public expense reduction and to environmental conservation at a global scale. This work consists of 8961 words.

Summary
This paper provides an analysis of the causes of inflation by differentiating between supply and demand factors. It begins by highlighting the importance of distinguishing between these two types of factors because of their different implications and effects on the economy. The main economic theories are reviewed, providing a historical and theoretical context. Among the various methods of factor identification, the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model is used to carry out a study of the recent case of inflation in Spain. The results of the contributions of each factor are analysed, explaining the underlying causes. Furthermore, the results are compared with those of the work used as a reference for this study (Shapiro, 2022). Finally, conclusions are drawn from the analysis in terms of its importance in correctly identifying the underlying causes of inflation for the correct application of economic policies to counteract this phenomenon.

This paper thoroughly analyzes the phenomenon of the Real Estate Boom in Spain, including its origin, causes, and the macroeconomic consequences that resulted from it, specifically focusing on variables such as inflation, unemployment, and GDP. It examines the factors prior to the real estate boom that laid the foundations for the excessive increase in housing prices and demand. Until 2007, Spain thrived in its economic splendor thanks to sectors that grew exponentially, such as construction. From this year on, the bubble burst, leading to one of the biggest global crises since the Great Depression.

Summary
For the preparation of this final project, the wealth tax system in Spain was studied with the aim of understanding the reasons why a new tax, the Temporary Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes or ITSGF, was introduced during the last crisis. Although in recent years there has been an increase in wealth concentration worldwide, in Europe the trend has been to eliminate the Wealth Tax or IP, a figure that, along with the Inheritance and Gift Tax or ISD, forms the personal wealth taxation system in Spain. Despite their structural problems, the ultimate aim of both taxes is redistribution and they are ceded to the CC.AA, which, by using their regulatory powers, seem to have translated their ideology into fiscal policy by making tax decisions through a political game that does not always follow any tax logic. So, with the aim of ending the different interterritorial revenue of the IP and the regressive trend that the system had been experiencing due to the deficiencies in the regulations of the taxes that make it up, the ITSGF was temporarily established. This not only adds complexity to the system but also generates enormous social discontent.

Summary
The present work, comprising 9,413 words, is a market study aimed at analyzing the feasibility of a company in the stationery sector located in the Municipality of Tomiño. The methodology used is based on the analysis of the sector, resources, and economic-financial estimates. The company is constituted as a Limited Liability Company with a share capital of €55,185, of which 37% will be contributions from the two founding partners. The results indicated that the project is feasible, as it offers positive profitability measures. On one hand, a positive NPV of €135,637 and an IRR of 35.5%, which is higher than the weighted average cost of capital, are obtained. Both profitability measures support that this is a viable project.

Summary
Over the last decades cities are experiencing exponential growth, originating from the numerous advantages of living in urban areas. However, this increase is resulting in mounting pressure on said territories, which affects the economic welfare of its inhabitants. In this context, the specification of said concept is of utmost importance. Although in literature referring to urban areas there is plenty of research centered around concepts like habitability, sustainability or quality of life, the economic well-being has been rather neglected. This final degree project proposes a synthetic index of economic wellbeing for the urban areas, which will be applied to the Spanish situation. As such, the starting point is the theoretical framework of Osberg (1985), which works with four dimensions: current consumption capacity, accumulation, inequality and economic insecurity. Said model will be the basis on which this work analyzes the economic well-being, which, due to being a multidimensional concept, will be approximated via a compound index, following the procedure established by Nardo et al. (2008). This synthetic indicator is to be applied on a group of Spanish cities, to be specific, those with over 50.000 inhabitant, so that a total of 152 locations are the subject of this study. This essay consists of 9.992 words (excluding the cover, the abstract and the bibliographic references. Considering these 3 sections, the total word count sums up to 11.783).

Summary
The purpose of this work is to produce a valuation report for the company Martínez Otero Contract S.L., dedicated to furniture manufacturing in Contract projects. As an introduction to the report, the company is presented, briefly describing its history and relevant figures. Secondly, the methodology followed to calculate the company's value will be explained concisely. Next, a deeper analysis of the company will be conducted, including a sector analysis and studying the environment surrounding the company using tools such as PESTEL or SWOT. From this analysis, we conclude that the Contract sector is promising, affected by Covid in 2020 but seemingly recovering rapidly. Continuing with the report, an economic and financial analysis of the company and its sector will be carried out, studying value drivers and key factors. Data from Martínez Otero's main competitors will be used to generate sector figures. This analysis will show how the company exhibits higher growth compared to the sector but lower profitability, partly due to greater diversification and significant investments in fixed assets. Based on all the gathered information, a strategy will be outlined for the company to prepare pro forma financial statements enabling us to value the company. This strategy will focus on increasing operating margin and capitalizing on the firm's growth. Finally, the company will be valued using two fundamental valuation methods. As a result, we value equity at over 28 million euros as of the beginning of 2023. To conclude the valuation report, we will analyze the risk of valuation through the impact of potential deviations in the inputs used. This work comprises 9,997 words in total.

Summary
In this work, we present a detailed analysis of the tourism sector among the autonomous communities of Spain, focusing on intra-community hotel overnight stays as the main indicator of tourist activity. Through the specific use of panel data estimation, we examine a dataset spanning two decades, from 2002 to 2022, to identify the economic and socio-political factors that significantly influence the decisions of this type of tourism. With the goal of understanding tourist behavior and the particularities of each community, our model incorporates variables such as hotel capacity, represented by the number of available spots, GDP per capita as an indicator of economic prosperity, and other factors such as sectoral inflation and fuel prices. Additionally, special attention has been paid to the impact of crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the debt crisis, which have posed challenges for the sector.

Summary
The emergence of Global Value Chains has marked a turning point in the conception of international trade. This phenomenon also underlies a series of gender relations linked to employment, the increase in occupational segregation and the lack of access to resources that deepen the gap between men and women in the sectors in which these chains have spread. Throughout this paper we present an analysis of how GVCs within Latin American agriculture have or have not opened up the gender gap for the countries of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.

Summary
This work entitled business taxation tax regime of cooperatives, aims to analyse the tax taxation of cooperatives in Spain. The general characteristics of this type of company are first studied, describing their definition, the different types that exist and even providing data on different issues that allow these companies to be located in the Spanish territory. Subsequently, the study focuses on the special tax consideration that cooperatives have, defining the different rates that are established, as well as a series of specific taxes of high status in Spain, in which they enjoy certain advantages. All this allows us to conclude with the justification of this special regime for these, as well as providing the characteristics that they must meet to benefit from it.

Summary
The objective of this Final Degree Project is to prepare an economic-financial analysis of the company Punto Fa, S.L., better known as MANGO, dedicated to the trade, import and export of clothing, accessories and clothing products. The analysis executed covers the last three available years and is based on a series of percentages and ratios, contrasted with a group of comparison companies formed by Bimba y Lola, S.L. and Adolfo Domínguez, S.A. The comparison with its main competitors reveals the impact of the health crisis on the textile sector and how Punto Fa managed this situation. Its financial situation in the short term is not the most encouraging, however, in the long term it showed favorable development, especially in terms of profitability and debt.

Summary
This paper focuses on the study of the relationship between engagement at work and the two variables considered, coworker support and transformational leadership, as well as age and gender. Engagement is presented as a factor of great importance in today's companies, in an increasingly competitive and dynamic world, it is positioned as a crucial factor. Coworker support and transformational leadership are introduced as variables of interest in order to find out their impact and check, where appropriate, how they act on engagement. At the beginning, the importance of the three variables is presented with a theoretical introduction where some related terms are contextualised and explained with reference to authors and publications. This is followed by an empirical study in which analyses are carried out on the basis of a survey developed with the aim of responding to the objective of the document. As main results, it is observed that both the coworker support variable and transformational leadership have a positive impact on engagement at work. In addition to this, despite being present as variables, age and gender are not related to the level of engagement. A total of 7,676 words were used in the document.

Summary
Aceites Abril S.L. is a Galician company dedicated to the production of olive oil, being one of the most important in both the national and international markets. The aim of this work is to carry out an economic-financial analysis of the company, examining its performance during the period 2020-2022 and comparing it with its main competitors, Deoleo Global S.A. and Borges Edible Oils S.A.U. This study was conducted through percentage and trend analysis and the calculation of various economic and financial ratios. The work is structured in three parts. The first part offers a description of the history and evolution of Aceites Abril, highlighting its trajectory and market positioning. The second part conducts an analysis of the company's external and internal environment, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. The third part, which constitutes the core of the work, presents a detailed economic-financial analysis of the company based on its financial statements, comparing it with its competitors and proposing possible improvements to ensure its growth and stability. The analysis reveals that Aceites Abril maintains a competitive position thanks to its solid financial structure, high production capacity, and high financial profitability. In the last three campaigns, sales have been increasing, varying by more than 60% year over year. The last recorded figure in 2022 is €513,406,335. However, it has a strong dependence on the local market and external financing, as well as a high number of competitors. Some of its main threats, which are common to the entire sector, are the fluctuations in raw material prices and conditions determined by climate change. To be more competitive, Aceites Abril S.L. should diversify its product portfolio and pursue international expansion. Number of words: 9,985.

Summary
Green jobs are those that contribute to preserving and restoring the environment, either through jobs created for this purpose or traditional jobs that have incorporated these new objectives. These jobs not only require specific knowledge but also encompass a set of skills known as green skills, which include competencies in sustainability management, energy efficiency, or corporate social responsibility. Green jobs require skills that need to be acquired. This paper aims to analyze whether the educational offerings of Spanish universities in subjects related to economics and business sciences are aligned with and meet the needs of the current labor market. To achieve this objective, a search will be conducted on the websites of each Spanish university (both public and private) to identify the degrees offered in the 2023-2024 academic year in the field of economics and business and the subjects that include green skills within them. The paper is structured into three chapters, an introduction, and conclusions. The first chapter analyzes green jobs and their evolution. The second chapter presents green skills, differentiating them from traditional skills. The third chapter presents the results of the paper, analyzing the subjects offered related to the teaching of green skills. Word count of the paper: 6344 words.

Summary
This paper studies the evolution and changes of socioeconomic metabolism in six countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland. The analysis goes from the year 2013 to 2022, in this way, it includes the two crises experienced in the European Union in this period. These countries were selected because of their differences in per capita income. On the one hand, we have Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia as the countries with the lowest income and on the other, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland as the countries with the highest income. It is about understanding how societies extract, consume and transform the resources that the environment provides them. If this process depends on the levels of GDP per capita or vice versa, this indicator does not influence the metabolism. In addition, analyze whether the crises that occurred in these years affected the metabolism or did not alter it. The study of socioeconomic metabolism is important because it allows establishing a relationship between the environment and the use that societies make of it. It provides relevant information to design environmental policies that make sustainable economic development possible. The work is divided into two parts: one theoretical and one analytical. The theory includes relevant concepts such as socioeconomic metabolism, environmental footprints and the theory of dematerialization. In the analysis part, metabolism-relevant data such as domestic extraction, import dependency, fuel consumption, etc. are included. The data were extracted from the Eurostat database.

The objective of this project is to deepen the fundamental knowledge of operations management, such as planning, programming, control and improvement of production and service processes. The project deals with key issues for operations management, such as selection and design of supply chain processes, quality control, analysis of the organization's capacity, lean management, among others. To perform the project, strategic and tactical aspects must be considered, evaluating how operational decisions affect the company's overall performance and its competitiveness in the market. Since, in an increasingly competitive and globalized business environment, effective operations management is vital to the success and long-term sustainability of any company. This project would teach how to apply theoretical knowledge using principles and concepts learned during the degree to understand how a company really works. The entire TFG was carried out based on the Operations Management Manual: Strategic Decisions, by Alberto García Cerro, Ana María Serrano Bedia and Gema García Piqueres (2021).

Summary
This study examines the fresh fruit market in Spain. The main purpose is to identify opportunities and trends, as well as to understand the current state of the sector. To do so, a comprehensive analysis has been carried out from the supply and demand perspectives, based on data obtained from various secondary sources. First, from the supply perspective, the sector is analyzed, including net sales, national production and the main macroeconomic and microeconomic statistics. In addition, the trade balance, its evolution and trade flows with Europe are assessed. A study of the main producers and an analysis of price formation are also carried out, as well as a study of new manufacturing and distribution trends. Then, from the demand perspective, it begins with a quantitative analysis of consumption and expenditure, both at an aggregate and disaggregated level. Subsequently, a qualitative analysis is carried out that includes a segmentation based on consumer behavior, exploring various subcategories. A socio-economic segmentation is also carried out to identify different market profiles and a segmentation according to the benefits sought, examining the purchasing criteria of consumers. New trends in the sector and the factors that influence the purchasing decisions of Spanish consumers are also identified. A SWOT analysis is then carried out with the aim of comprehensively and systematically evaluating the current situation of the fresh fruit sector. This analysis allows for a more complete view of the conditions, both internal and external, of this sector. Finally, it ends with an analysis of the limitations and future expansions.

Summary
The objective of this work is to analyze the volatility of financial assets: IBEX 35, which is the Spanish stock market index, US crude oil (WTI) and gold (XAU), through the use of advanced econometric models. These stock market indices have been studied, their returns have been estimated and a descriptive analysis of them has been carried out. Their conditional volatilities have also been estimated using the GARCH model, as well as their historical volatilities, and plotting them, to better understand the behavior of each index. First, it will begin with an introduction that studies the importance of volatility in financial markets and a brief description of the assets studied: the Spanish stock market index IBEX 35, crude oil and gold. In the empirical analysis, the data collected will be used to estimate the selected models and compare the different measures of volatility between the IBEX, WTI and XAU. The work is divided into three parts. In the first part, financial volatility is defined and its different types are presented, and its importance in the financial markets is emphasized. In the second part, stock indices are analysed using their descriptive statistics to understand their behaviour pattern in a more specific way. To estimate the returns of stock indices and their conditional volatilities, the GARCH model is used, which will allow dynamic conditional volatilities to be obtained over time. On the other hand, historical volatilities varying over time have been calculated through the standard deviation of yields in moving windows of 44 daily observations. Graphs are shown illustrating the relevant conditional volatilities, implied volatilities, and historical volatilities, which will allow you to observe the trends and patterns of behavior of each asset. At the end of the work, conclusions and recommendations will be offered based on the results obtained. This work consists of a total of 6,675 words.

Summary
In the current context, sustainability is a fundamental axis for business development. To do this, the so-called ESG criteria are taken into account, which evaluate the environmental, social and governance impact of companies, which are key to measuring the impact of companies in these areas, influencing their perception and value in the global market. Throughout the work, the impact on companies after the application of these criteria will be studied, also incorporating information on the circular economy. The Inditex case will be contextualized, highlighting its main sustainable policies and, finally, it will be concluded with a statistical analysis in order to evaluate the perception of the brand by consumers and how it is affected by the adoption of sustainable policies in companies.

Summary
In a market as dynamic as the current one, experience and qualifications are no longer sufficient characteristics to guarantee business success, which is why other more specific qualities are beginning to be evaluated and demanded within the selection of personnel. This is how labor competencies emerge, as a tool that allows improving the productivity and profitability of companies. Human resources administration has evolved greatly over time and, today, has become a fundamental part of achieving the company's objectives. In this study, the selection process is addressed, a topic corresponding to the area of human resources. Specifically, we will focus on the competency-based selection process, a model promoted by organizations as a strategy that goes beyond evaluating current capabilities and knowledge, also considering the candidates’ potential to adapt and develop in the future. To do this, the following are analyzed: the evolution of personnel selection, the models proposed by various authors and the necessary steps are established to carry out a selection based on competencies, making reference to their different forms of classification. In addition to definitions and main concepts linked to competencies. A second study variable involves analyzing how competencies are implemented in university students depending on the degree they pursue, highlighting the main differences that exist in their training. To this end, we resorted to carrying out a survey, dividing the sample between students of Economics and Business Administration and Philology and Journalism.

Summary
Shellfishing´s historical process established some basic guidelines to resource´s exploitation similar in all the region, but the own diversity of confreries and estuaries caused distinct economic and productive impacts. At the case of Noia´s exploitation, shellfishing´s resource constituted the practical entirety in the period analysed (2000-2020), and was characterised by: At productive level, by the differentiation, with a majority extraction of autochthonous seafood, with predominance in the extraction of common cockle and an exponential growth of foreign´s clam crop; at economic level, by the growth of the weight of public administration at sector´s financing and the loss of acquisitive power by shellfish carchers, face with fault of update of half price just as the evolution of inflation.

Summary
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has acquired high relevance in the business world due to the pressure exerted by society on companies to adopt more ethical and sustainable policies. This paper examines the evolution of CSR at Volkswagen, focusing on the years following the Dieselgate scandal. This analysis delves into the measures that the company has carried out to recover, focusing on reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable mobility, making investments in electrification. In addition, the company has launched environmental projects such as Audi Environmental Foundation and GreenFuture from Skoda. But they have not only focused on external policies, but have restructured senior management and adopted stricter transparency policies. Dieselgate caused a redefinition of the approach that Volkswagen was giving to its CSR policy. Since then, it has demonstrated a commitment to sustainability and ethics, which has enhanced its reputation and financial performance. Despite the bumps in the road, the company has made progress in regaining the trust of its stakeholders and in positioning its brand at the level of responsible practices. The study concludes that Volkswagen has made significant progress since the Dieselgate crisis. It is likely that, if this trend continues, Volkswagen will exceed its pre-Dieselgate level of trust and sustainability. The company has shown that, through robust CSR policies and a clear commitment to the society around it, it is possible to overcome even the most serious crises and emerge with a renewed and stronger image. This work is made up of a total of 9,789 words, excluding as established in the bases, the cover, the abstract and the bibliography.

Summary
What will be investigated and made known in this work is the impact and influence of value added chains in different sectors and subsectors of some countries, and also, interpret and analyze data derived from the contamination of these chains in these countries. . One of the main objectives of this work is to find those countries where the evolution of global value chains has contributed to a significant improvement in the country's trade levels and whether this improvement has also led to an increase in pollution levels for these nations. First, an extensive explanation will be given of what global value chains are, what importance they have today, how they work and who is most involved in them. Below we will relate what we obtained with the different production levels of the selected countries, with the different levels of pollution and thus be able to promote good research in this regard and be able to answer our questions in these research works. During the completion of this work, the EUROSTAT database has been my main tool since from this I have collected all the information on the emissions emitted and I have been able to analyze the current trend of the OECD countries. My other sources of information have been books or reports that covered how global value chains worked and that have helped me understand this process a little more. Finally, we will close with a last section in which we will include different policy recommendations for these countries and some objections for the near future.

Summary
In this work we try to know the energy situation in Galicia, delving into an analysis of the evolution of energy, breaking it down by technologies, energy sources, installed power..., in addition to the energy contribution of Galicia and other territories, from 2000 to 2022. The techniques used to carry out this research were mainly the collection of data from the different energy balances of Galicia (prepared by INEGA), with special emphasis on the energy flows of the years mentioned, in order to carry out the elaboration of different graphs, as well as their subsequent analysis. To this we must also add the review of other documents likely to have relevant data such as the work done by professors of the University as well as websites, reports and related news of great relevance. The main objective of this work, is to know what is our energy reality decomposing into primary energy, its subsequent transformation and finally what is its destiNo. In addition, to know the role that Galicia occupies in a context as important as it is, the energy market. As a result, we find the discovery of several relevant data in this area, which will provide the reader with great interest in the Galician-energy case. The length of this work is 9,010 words.

Summary
The complicated relationship between inequality and innovation has been the focus of different theoretical and empirical studies, with the aim of clarifying this link. However, different authors agree that the results are not very conclusive. It is thus that the main objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between income inequality and environmental innovation in the member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) from a theoretical and empirical perspective. During the years 2010 and 2019, green patents were concentrated in countries with greater technological development, as well as a low level of income inequality. Due to various factors that may affect the propensity to patent, green innovation suffers a decline in this period even though R+D spending as a percentage of GDP has increased. To estimate the models, we use panel data taking the percentage of environmental technologies with respect to the national total, environmental inventions per million habitants and the percentage of green inventions with respect to the world total as measures of innovation, while the Gini coefficient quantifies income inequality. With it, it was examined that there is a random effect of innovative capacity on income inequality, controlled by the specific characteristics of the member countries of the region. Likewise, the results indicate that there is a significant negative correlation between these global challenges.

The work seeks a complete picture of the French Way from the accommodation and food and beverage sectors, starting with the creation of a context, with some of its main characteristics, in order to put oneself in a working situation. The work continues with the verification of the weight of these sectors in the municipalities participating in the route. From there, the evolution in time series for the affiliations of the companies and employees of these sectors is studied, where the moment of the pandemic stands out, with a deep fall. The work continues with the study of seasonality, in this case of the affiliated companies for both 2022 and 2023, the first year with the two sectors together and in the second year with the two sectors separately to observe the difference in their seasonality behavior. In addition, we also analyze whether the behavior and weight of the separate sectors works differently according to the size of the municipality, and we draw the conclusion that they do have different weights according to this characteristic.

Summary
This 9,909-word Final Degree Project deals with the subject of Galician Special Employment Centres that are profit-making and belong to the Social Economy. An analysis is made of the historical evolution of the Social Economy in Europe, Spain and Galicia from the 19th century, with the first appearance of the term in France, to the present day, highlighting the role it plays in society today with its objectives and principles, as well as the legal framework in which it is framed. The Social Economy emerges as an alternative to the economy seen up to that time and the different opinions that various authors throughout history have had about it are presented. This term broadens the meaning of orthodox economics and takes into account the social sphere and concern for the conditions and welfare of workers. Based on the data provided by the Registry of CEE of the Xunta de Galicia, Directorate General of Self-Employment and Social Economy and the Department of Employment, Trade and Emigration on capitalist CEE, an analysis was carried out for the year 2023 of the Special Employment Centres for profit, addressing aspects such as the legal form, evolution of the number of centres and provincial distribution, sectors of activity in which they are developed, the term disability in this context and a study of the characteristics of the people employed in this type of centre. These centres are an important figure within the Social Economy due to their work of labour insertion and social cohesion of people with disabilities. Through their principles, they manage to reduce the differences in employment between the two groups of people and come closer, at present, to an egalitarian labour market.

Summary
This study focuses on the economic-financial analysis of the company Decathlon España, SAU. Its main objective is to evaluate its internal situation and make a comparison with the five main competitors in the sector. The work is divided into three sections. The first is the presentation of the company, providing us with its essential information. In the next section, the internal and external analysis is developed, obtaining a detailed and comprehensive view of its position in the market, in addition to examining the impact of the rise of the sports sector and the pandemic. In the last section, the core is carried out, the economic and financial analysis of Decathlon based on the comparison group. This section is done through vertical and horizontal percentages and the calculation of ratios from the financial statements, to later incorporate a diagnosis and improvement proposals. The research allows us to define Decathlon as the undisputed leader in the sector, with well-defined values of innovation and sustainability. It is considered a very solid company in the long term, in addition to achieving a high degree of efficiency in resource management and better economic and financial profitability values compared to its competitors. On the other hand, we observe greater weakness in terms of immediate liquidity and short-term debt.

Summary
In an increasingly disruptive world, innovation is gaining prominence as a strategic asset for global companies and governments. This paper will try to relate how public and/or private R and D investment can affect the development of innovation in these countries, focusing on the countries that make up the Eurozone. For this purpose, official reports published by European bodies will be reviewed, including information on different financing mechanisms in place, as well as on projects supporting innovation. In addition, already from an eminently analytical prism, different metrics collected from the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS) and indicators of investment effort at government and business level will be investigated. To conclude the work, estimates were made through 3 econometric models in order to empirically corroborate the influence of the aforementioned expenditure indicators on the development of innovation in the Eurozone. The work consists of 8106 words

Summary
Rurality, like many other terms used in the social sciences, is a multidimensional concept for which there is no generally accepted definition criterion. This lack of consensus, along with the multitude of scientific disciplines involved in its analysis, makes the term rural difficult to pinpoint. Thus, the present work aims to propose a methodology to measure the degree of rurality of a territory through synthetic indicators, with the ultimate goal of applying it to the Galician regions. To achieve this objective, the different meanings attributed to the rural environment are reviewed, emphasizing the pragmatic and operational approach based on demographic variables employed by institutions for this purpose. Additionally, some previously developed works that aimed to measure the rurality of different territories are presented, followed by a review of the methodology of synthetic indicators, identifying the phases to follow in their construction and the possible methodologies to use in each of them. Finally, based on the previously elaborated theoretical framework, a synthetic index is defined to measure rurality considering its multidimensional nature. This index is subsequently applied to the Galician regions, comparing the results obtained with those of other works that sought to define this concept for Galicia. It is concluded that the use of the proposed synthetic rurality index allows for a greater differentiation between regions than other studies conducted for this purpose, while also agreeing with them on the heterogeneity presented by the Galician regions in terms of their rurality. This heterogeneity is observable when comparing the east of the provinces of Ourense and Lugo, characterized by a higher level of rurality, with the regions of the Atlantic Axis, which, along with those of the main cities in the interior of Galicia, are the areas with the lowest degree of rurality.

Summary
The purpose of this work is to analyze how the personal characteristics of individuals, and the goods to choose, influence decision making. To achieve this objective, an empirical example has been developed on film consumption, where the axis of decision-making will be the satisfaction provided by the film consumed. The research carried out will start from an analytical methodology using both econometric and machine learning models, applied to a data set of five variables under analysis with one million observations. The models studied will allow us to understand the relationships that explain how satisfactions are assigned, and, therefore, how the general consumption pattern can be affected. Finally, after comparing and discussing the findings resulting from the application of the models, the work concludes with the main reflections extracted and future lines of research. Please note that the whole of this work is made up of 9,859 words.

Summary
In recent years, corruption scandals investigated by judges have had a great media presence in Spain. This could have generated a widespread perception of an increase in corruption and reinforced institutional distrust. For this reason, and taking advantage of the recent creation of a more complete database on corruption (the one prepared by Professor José Abreu based on the collection of corruption news in the media between 2000-2020), we will analyze the quantitative and qualitative features of corruption and whether the perception correlates with existing objective data. Finally, we will begin a brief approach to the Transparency Law in Spain and propose some initiatives that help prevent corruption.

Summary
The wine sector has been revalued in recent years, earning prestige not only in our country, but also in many international markets. This sector has not developed overnight; it is an example of adaptation and resilience. Its path to reach the position it has today has not been easy and has been full of obstacles. This Final Degree Project seeks to analyse the Galician wine sector from a historical perspective. The study begins with a national contextualisation of the 19th century, highlighting the productive expansion of the wine sector, the subsequent crisis and the transition towards the production of quality wines. Then, it focuses on the galician case, addressing its situation in relation to Spain, the various plagues that devastated galician vineyards and its resurgence driven by the agrarian movement of the early 20th century. The analysis is deepened after the integration of Spain into the EEC, evaluating the impact of the various measures introduced by official bodies such as the CAP and the WTO, which have contributed to the development of the sector by promoting designations of origin and opening foreign markets, which has not only allowed its consolidation, but has positioned it as one of the most relevant branches in the agricultural sphere.

Summary
The policies of the United States to face the crisis in the 1930s promoted the modernization of the agricultural sector, erasing agricultural surpluses in the hands of the government that made them the main exporter of large quantities in the world after the Second World War. The US used the pretext of food aid to be able to place these surpluses in Europe, where industrialized livestock farming began to develop dependent on two inputs that were exported by large North American companies. This livestock modernization took longer to reach Spain due to high protectionism in the first two years of its existence. But when it began to be implemented, it completely changed to the agri-food industry based on a complex between feed and livestock factories, which was at the same time dependent on the import of raw materials from the United States. The feed factories were fundamental in the incorporation of this industrialized livestock farming in Spain, among them Nanta, which was one of the two main Spanish food groups in the second half of the 20th century. These companies used two forms of vertical integration, as well as two processes of business concentration to promote the industrialization of agriculture and achieve increasingly larger market shares in order to become dominant in the Spanish agri-food sector.

Summary
Public libraries are dynamic centres that must offer attractive services to users to ensure their permanence over time and not be relegated to simple book lending spaces. In the midst of the digital revolution, the objective of this study is to propose a model to evaluate the technical efficiency of the public library system in Galicia, being a novel research since it does not have previous studies at the local level or similar in this geographical context. The methodology used is the non-parametric tool of Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA, completed with the Bootstrap procedure, on a total of 1368 observations during the period 2017 2022. It should be noted that the DEA analysis is a very used instrument in measuring the performance of the organizations that make up the public Administration. The results show a stable trend for the time period of six years, although not encouraging because its average is 54%, therefore the margin for improvement is wide.

Summary
The purpose of this paper is to carry out an economic-financial analysis of the Galician textile company Adolfo Domínguez, S.A. To this end, the paper begins with an external analysis focusing on the evolution of the textile sector in recent years, in order to put the company in context; and continues with an internal analysis of the main indicators that affect it, focusing in particular on the economic-financial analysis, comparing the company's situation with that of the comparison group formed. The analysis carried out shows that, in general terms, Adolfo Domínguez, S.A. presents a not very encouraging situation with respect to its level of indebtedness, which has increased considerably in the period analyzed (2019-2022), possibly as a consequence of the global health crisis and the consequent reduction in the level of activity and restructuring of points of sale and factories. With respect to the long-term financial analysis, the company from Ourense has an optimal capacity to cover debt with the TA at the same time that with the permanent resources, it is able to finance the totality of the ANC. Therefore, the data for the Ourense company for the year 2022 show a certain improvement. On the other hand, we will make special reference to the technological innovation that the company is going through, ranging from practices in favour of greater sustainability to the improvement and incorporation of personal shoppers in its online shop. This shows a clear trend of concern for the improvement of data from previous years. The development of this academic work will allow us to know the importance of the textile sector in Galicia, through the analysis of one of its most notable companies: Adolfo Domínguez, S.A. The paper consists of 9.519 words.

Summary
In the work presented below, a study of the nut market in Spain was carried out, focusing on the years 2022 and 2023. The objective of this study is to obtain a detailed view of the sector at present. The development of the work is divided into two main groups: analysis of supply and analysis of demand. In the first part, the supply analysis, a sectoral analysis is carried out that collects information on national production and net sales. In addition, the main macro-magnitudes are examined, such as the number of people employed in the sector, the number of companies present, and the volume of production. Subsequently, the current situation of the foreign trade of nuts is studied and a microeconomic analysis of the supply is carried out, which includes the main manufacturing and distribution agents. In the second part of the work, a quantitative and qualitative analysis is carried out. The quantitative analysis addresses total consumption and expenditure, as well as per capita consumption and expenditure, analyzed from different levels: by subproducts, subsectors, and by autonomous communities. The qualitative analysis includes various segmentations: socioeconomic, behavior-based, and benefit-based. In addition, new purchasing and consumption trends for nuts are discussed. To conclude the work, a SWOT analysis is carried out, where the Weaknesses, Threats, Strengths, and Opportunities of the nut sector in Spain are addressed. Finally, a conclusion is presented that summarizes the main results of the study, as well as the limitations and future expansions. The work consists of 9113 words.

This paper aims to analyze the flows of immigrants that have taken place in Spain since the beginning of the twenty-first century, carrying out an exhaustive bibliographic review and using data from various sources of information, such as the APDHA or the INE, which leads us to conclude that migratory flows have always happened in history. Reality shows that it is foolish to deny or oppose them. The control of emigration currently involves a solid program in collaboration between the EU government and the government of Spain. This work consists of 7764 words.

Summary
Fast fashion is characterized by accelerated production cycles and mass consumption, which has raised concerns about its environmental sustainability, precarious working conditions, and effects on the local economy. This study examines how these practices of the fashion industry directly and indirectly affect the achievement of several SDGs in Spain, such as SDG 12 (Responsible production and consumption), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and others related to environmental conservation and the reduction of inequalities. We focus on these three SDGs: 8, 12 and 13, since we seek to investigate the impact on the Spanish economy directly with official data. It investigates how promoting more responsible production and consumption practices, improving working conditions in the supply chain and adopting more sustainable approaches can contribute to addressing these challenges in the specific context of Spain. The importance of collaboration between different actors, including government, companies and society, to promote a more ethical, equitable and environmentally friendly fashion model in the country.
