Our goal is to empirically contrast whether the TC is predisposed to favour the central government or if their rulings are determined by other motivations. According to the results we have obtained, the TC does not seem to be an extension in the jurisdictional milieu of the central executive power. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-76506-C4-3-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.319 2018 Economics and Econometrics 2018 Q1 Sociology and Political Science 2018 Q1 Philosophy 2018 Q1 Law 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Rodrigo, Fernando Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1534-2970 Sanz-Arcega, Eduardo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8555-973X 4008 225 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
