DISCIPLINARY BACKGROUND
Why study the Master's Degree in Economic Studies?
The Master's Degree in Economic Studies (MEE) of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo offers a flexible and quality education, considering problems such as slow economic growth, unemployment, asymmetric income distribution and poverty. To this end, this program contemplates the simultaneous development of the theoretical and practical dimensions that allow the graduate to have qualitative and quantitative tools that are indispensable in the identification and solution of problems that impede regional and national growth and development. In view of this, graduates will be able to propose strategies aimed at improving the living conditions of society through their incorporation into the labor market or to pursue doctoral studies for further specialization.
To train teachers with a high academic and research preparation, knowledgeable of the different economic theories, methodological, quantitative and qualitative tools for the study of economic problems, capable of proposing alternatives that contribute to solve them. Committed to the social and economic welfare of the country, who play the role of agents of change through participation in work teams for the formulation of solutions to economic and social problems.
In the year 2020, the Master's Degree in Economic Studies of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo is one of the best options in the country in the formation of human capital at the graduate level in economic science. Its graduates are distinguished by their knowledge of the different economic theories, the use of methodological, quantitative and qualitative tools for the study of economic problems and the design of alternatives for public, social and economic policies, with social responsibility.
General Objective
- To analyze the way in which the Mexican economy has been and continues to be integrated into the world market and how this integration has modified the productive structure of the Mexican economy, through the study of the world and national economies, as well as the interaction between them, with the purpose of proposing economic policy criteria that allow an advantageous integration of the national economy into the world market, in such a way as to contribute to reduce the problems of underdevelopment.
Specific Objectives
- To explain the mechanisms through which markets tend to concentrate income, through a theoretical and empirical analysis of income distribution, with the purpose of proposing economic policy criteria aimed at reducing its concentration, in order to raise the living standards of our society.
- To offer evaluations and/or forecasts on the performance of the main economic variables, through qualitative and quantitative techniques, so that the private, social and public sectors have the necessary elements to make their decisions.
- To offer current and relevant paradigms in economic theory that identify the analytical limits of the different theories through their critical study in order to generate pertinent criteria for the design and implementation of economic policies aimed at overcoming the problems of underdevelopment.
The two LGAC of the MEE will address the six problem areas identified: The insertion of the Mexican economy into the world market, Industrial Policy and regional development, Institutions, Economic policy and income distribution, Unemployment and precarious employment, and Crisis of economic theory. The approaches of the LGAC tend to contribute to the solution of poverty due to slow economic growth, unemployment and asymmetric income distribution.
Specific Objectives
- The objective of this line is to build a space for discussion on the main statistical regularities that describe growth and economic cycles and their effects on income distribution. To evaluate these regularities in the light of the analytical frameworks that attempt to explain them in order to propose new schemes that provide more plausible explanations and, based on them, to design macroeconomic policy criteria and economic development strategies aimed at improving the standard of living of the population.
Sector Analysis, Prices and Employment.
- The purpose of this line is to examine the behavior of productive sectors, markets and the way in which the level of employment fluctuates, as well as the problem of precarious employment, through the qualitative and quantitative study of the fundamental variables of the economy, with the aim of offering economic policy recommendations that promote productive linkages, product and productivity growth, and technological change.
