This document is the final paper for a master's degree in economic history. It studies the evolutionary dynamics of economic activities and long-term trends in added value and employment in the largest non-financial Spanish firms from 1971-2012. The paper aims to identify which economic activities generated the most wealth through higher added value and employment. It describes the methodology used and presents results and conclusions regarding different patterns of evolutionary dynamics and long-term trends in added value and employment.

Abstract & Mission of this study
This study describes results of
evolutionary dynamic of
economic activities and,

long-term trends, of largest
non-financial Spanish firms.
Main question is:
Which Spanish economic
activities have generated
largest wealth:
bigger added value and
higher employment?
Mission of this study is to construct evolutionary model,
to show their results, and to answer questions propouned.
Any other expectations or suggestions are out of mission of this study.

Projection & Conclusions
2012
2013
► 18.6% over total occupied population in Spain.
► 2.09% (UE) or 2.17% (OECD) HUR.
126,818 new jobs
in 13 years.
So, largest Spanish firms would not be bigger
expectations of unemployment decrease.
