Constitutional Court, Macroeconomic, Microeconomics, SentencesAbstract
It is undeniable that the Constitutional Court has issued numerous sentences of advanced during its existence. However, his work is not so commendable in economic matters. Indeed, citing noble purposes but with a wrong or non-existent technical analysis, the Constitutional Court has recently issued rulings with harmful economic effects. This article shows some examples of such failures, indicating why these generate macroeconomic difficulties or, alternatively, cause microeconomic distortions in certain markets. This article also analyzes the reasons that motivate these economic failures to finally propose some courses of action to avoid these errors.
