Markets and financial institutions receive daily flows of macroeconomic, sectoral, and business information, which are combined with the irrational motivations and speculative behaviors of investors. The Master's in Monetary and Financial Economics seeks to analyze how all this information is processed by investors and professionals in the field, as well as the resulting effects on the value of financial instruments, the functioning of financial institutions, and the evolution of contemporary economies and societies. The bond, equity, foreign exchange, and derivative financial product markets are studied in detail.

Monetary policy and its transmission through the banking system are given special emphasis due to the decisive role they play in the evolution of the economy in general, and financial markets in particular. The master's program also analyzes how different monetary policy regimes influence the behavior of households, businesses, and financial institutions, as well as the implications of these decisions for financial regulation and stability. The transmission mechanisms of unconventional policies, which have assumed increasing importance in recent years, and the challenges they pose for governments and central banks in each country are also explored. This integrated approach allows for an understanding of how monetary policy, the structure of financial markets, and the behavior of economic agents interact in an increasingly complex global context.


For the 2026/2027 academic year, the opening of two classes is planned: one taught during the day and the other in the evening. Classes have a limited number of places and will only open if a minimum number of students enroll.

Enrollment in both the daytime and evening classes is on a first-come, first-served basis.
