Globally, interest in the environment and its conservation is growing and primordial. In particular, CO2 emissions generated by productive processes in a given territory in order to satisfy own and global consumption. Two types of responsibilities stand out, the producer's and the consumer's. Based on the Multi-regional Input-Output Methodology, this study determined Ecuador's responsibility in terms of CO2 emissions, defining the economic sectors that have the greatest representation in these emissions, as well as establishing an assessment at the level of the Trade Balance. There has been a strong growth of Ecuador's Footprint of 145.26% from 2000 to 2015, with the transport and secondary sectors having the highest representation and the trade with the BRICS nations standing out. This results strengthens the need to foster a change in the population's and the public administrations' consumption patterns. So it is recommended that the authorities allocate part of the public budget to measures oriented to sustainable consumption.

In 1930, Keynes highlighted the need to consolidate economic studies in Spain. The creation of specialist journals in economics contributed to this, as one of the first initiatives which facilitated the reception of the currents of economic thought. From its creation in 1942, the journal, Moneda y Crédito, was a pioneer in spreading the ideas of the Social Market Economy in Spain which had originated in the Freiburg School. This paper studies the circumstances that led to the creation and subsequent evolution of that journal and, through the selection and classification by theme of thirteen articles published in Moneda y Crédito, three study topics are specified: the post-World War II economic problems; monetary policy and exchange rates; and, social policy. At the end of the paper the economic policy proposals and recommendations made by the authors of the selected articles, are collected in a table format.
