Description of research activity:
The Economic Development in a Historical Perspective (EHVALENCIA) research group brings together all 12 PhD researchers and professors from the History and Economic Institutions Area of the Universitat de València's Department of Economic Analysis. The research work of most of the group members is part of two research projects financed by the MCNN's national programme of research projects of excellence (ECO2015-65049-C12-1-P and ECO2015-66782-P). Both projects are led by researchers from EHVALENCIA (Daniel Tirado is the PI for one of them and Concepción Betrán and María Ángeles Pons are the PIs for the second one) and, together with them, four other members of the Economic Development in Historical Perspective (EHVALENCIA) research group (Antonio Cubel, Joaquim Cuevas, Julio Martínez-Galarraga and Teresa Sanchis-Llopis) form part of their research teams. The other members of the group (Joaquín Azagra, Pablo Cervera, Salvador Calatayud, Yadira González de Lara, Francisco Medina) are part of the research teams of competitive projects directed from other Spanish universities (such as UAB) or other departments of the Universitat de València itself.

In addition, the group also leads a competitive research project directed from the Universitat de València and financed by the Bank of Spain. The quality of the research of EHVALENCIA's members has enabled them to participate regularly in research structures such as large national and international research networks (Xarxa de Referència d'I+D+I en Economia i Polítiques Públiques de la Generalitat de Catalunya, ESF Network-Globaleuronet), research projects of the EU framework programme (Jean Monnet Projects), have organised national and international scientific meetings of recognised prestige and impact in their area of study (Iberometrics, ESF-Globaleuronet Workshops, FRESH Meetings), or have been invited to participate on a regular basis in Postgraduate Programmes of Excellence such as the Inter-University Master's Degree in Economic History UB-UAB-UZ, the PhD in Economics UB, the Inter-University PhD in Economic History UB-UC3M or the PhD in Economics UZ. As a result of this solid research and research training, the group Economic Development in Historical Perspective (EHVALENCIA) runs the MCNN's Research Network of Excellence ¿Globalización, Crecimiento y Desigualdad (S XIX-XXI)¿ (Globalisation, Growth and Inequality (S XIX-XXI)) (ECO2015-71534-REDT). This research structure brings together the 8 most relevant research groups in Economic History from the whole of Spain. The results of this research work have been disseminated through the publication, in the last 5 years, of more than 25 articles in journals indexed in the JCR, 15 of which are located in Q1 of the areas of History of Social Sciences or Economics.
