ABSTRACT: This scientific contribution focuses on an interpretation within the
framework of a qualitative and quantitative methodology, whose purposes are: in
the first instance, to offer readers a brief theoretical perspective about the
so-called political-economic cycles from the traditional and modern approach,
as well as the macroeconomic objectives and the determining variables that make
it up; and second, the presentation of the economic scenario and the results of
the careful analysis of the electoral elections held in the Republic of Ecuador
on February 7, 2021, in which the first round was held to elect constitutional
president and constitutional vice president, to on a par with the election of
the members of the legislative power for the period 2021-2025; and, on April
11, 2021, when the ballot was held among the candidates with the highest
preference of the voters, as determined by the Political Constitution of
Ecuador in its articles 143 and 118, consecrating the postulates of
presidentialism as a form of government in democratic political systems under
the horizontal dimension referred to by the principle of separation of powers: 1) Basic
macroeconomic objectives and determining variables of economic policy; 2) Employment; 3) Price stability; 4) Economic growth.
