Areas of Knowledge

Economics

If we think of economics as one of the ways -certainly not the only way- of increasing our capacity to understand events in the social world and to try to improve it by modifying certain issues, the economist cannot limit his radius of intervention to questions of efficiency alone. And above all, he cannot pretend to ignore the fact that the wider the scope of the decisions to be made, more necessary becomes the task of making explicit the value criteria on the basis of which choices are made. Still many economists, faced with the question of whether economic knowledge should be a judge of the objectives it pursues or a mere executor of techniques, answer by choosing the latter. In Sobretesis we prefer the first perspective, and we believe that the economy, properly planned and based on principles of social equity, can become a tool for the transformation of the capitalist and inhuman system from which the majority of humanity suffers.
Beyond our ideological positioning, we have conducted several studies on the macroeconomics of American, European and Asian countries, studies on cluster formation, value of intellectual capital, external debt and globalization, analysis of economic contexts, trade balance sheets, investment funds, stock markets, energy investment and energy integration, tax evasion, microenterprises, family businesses, mining and foreign direct investment, social economy, etc. These studies and research have provided us with sufficient and necessary capacity to develop thesis work in economics, at any level, including the "prestigious" universities of Yale and Harvard.
