An heterodox History of Spanish Economy into the Eurozone: Austrian School of Economics analysis of boom & bust

Summary/Abstract: This is a heterodox Economic History on Political Economy, Macroeconomics and Applied Economics, based on the Austrian Economics theory of business cycles, applied to the case of the Spanish Economy during the boom-bust cycle (2002-2014). Attention is focused on the endemic problem of business cycles, such as suc- cessive and distorting periods of boom and bust that modern economies suffer, as with the Spanish economy. This work reviews the analysis of the Austrian School of Economics ́ theory and its development, with attention to the empirical renewal line (into the school), which used econometric support, to help the communication with other economic schools. Consequently, there is a review of the main econometric literature on the Austrian cycle, followed with an illustration of the case of Spain in the Eurozone. In this way, it is possible to better under- stand the cycle of boom and bust by means of new currency emission and how to help econometric tools to illustrate economic principles.
