Faculty of Economic Sciences (UNAM) is a major academic unit of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México located in Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City. The faculty offers undergraduate and graduate programs with connections to institutions such as the Banco de México, Organización de Estados Americanos, Banco Mundial, Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe, and the Universidad de Cambridge. It has played roles in policy debates involving figures linked to Presidencia de la República (México), the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, and the OCDE.
The faculty traces origins to reforms within the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the legacy of curricula influenced by the Secretaría de Educación Pública (México), the Revolución Mexicana, and economists trained under scholars from the London School of Economics, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Universidad de Salamanca. Early faculty figures engaged with organizations such as the Fondo Monetario Internacional, the Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica, and the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, while academic exchange occurred with the Universidad de Buenos Aires, the Universidad de Chile, and the Universidad Nacional de La Plata. Over decades the faculty adapted to policy shifts prompted by events like the Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte negotiations, Mexico’s debt crises related to the Crisis de la deuda latinoamericana, and reforms influenced by the Plan Nacional de Desarrollo (México).
Undergraduate offerings include licenciaturas with curricula shaped by collaborations with the Banco de México, the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, and the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público. Graduate degrees include master's and doctoral programs with ties to the Universidad de Harvard, the Universidad de Oxford, the Universidad de California, Berkeley, and the Colegio de México. Specialized programs link to research agendas from the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, the Universidad Iberoamericana, and the El Colegio de la Frontera Norte. Professional development courses have been offered in cooperation with the Organización Internacional del Trabajo, the Fondo Monetario Internacional, and private sector partners like BBVA and Citigroup.
The faculty is administratively embedded in the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México structure with directors elected in accordance with statutes influenced by the Sistema de Universidades Estatales model. Governance bodies coordinate with the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, the Asamblea Universitaria, and committees that liaise with the Cámara de Diputados (México), the Senado de la República (México), and municipal authorities of Ciudad de México. Academic councils include representatives who have collaborated with the Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe, the Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos, and international partners such as the Banco Mundial and the Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo.
Research units at the faculty conduct studies relating to monetary policy, fiscal studies, and development economics with linkages to the Banco de México, the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, and the Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe. Centers and labs collaborate with the Centro de Investigación en Economía y Negocios, the Colegio de México, the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, and international networks including the Inter-American Development Bank, the Fondo Monetario Internacional, and the World Bank. Research outputs have intersected with policy reports used by the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, the Comisión Nacional del Sistema de Ahorro para el Retiro, and nongovernmental organizations such as OXFAM and Transparencia Internacional.
Admission processes follow the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México examination systems and criteria aligned with national frameworks like the Comisión Nacional de Libros de Texto Gratuitos standards and student support structures connected to the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, and scholarship programs from the Fundación UNAM. The student body includes domestic students from states such as Jalisco, Nuevo León, and Yucatán and international students from institutions like the Universidad de Salamanca, the Universidad de Buenos Aires, and the Universidad de São Paulo. Student organizations have engaged with entities such as the Asociación Nacional de Universitarios, the Sindicato de Trabajadores de la UNAM, and cultural groups tied to the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo.
Facilities are located on Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City with classrooms, libraries, and archives that connect to the Biblioteca Central holdings, the Archivo General de la Nación, and specialized collections shared with the Centro Cultural Universitario. The faculty building is proximate to landmarks such as the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, and the Jardín Botánico del UNAM. IT and computing resources interoperate with networks from the Red de Interconexión Académica and collaborative platforms involving the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología and international partners like the European Research Council.
Alumni and faculty have included professionals who later served in roles at the Banco de México, the Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, and diplomatic posts at the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores. Notable individuals have had affiliations with the Universidad de Chicago, the Harvard Kennedy School, the London School of Economics, the Universidad de Oxford, and multilateral organizations like the Banco Mundial and the Fondo Monetario Internacional. Their work has intersected with public debates around policies linked to the Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, fiscal reform initiatives debated in the Cámara de Diputados (México), and regional development programs coordinated with the Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe.
