Using the sensibility analysis, we develop a model that determines the quantity of annual product that annuls the NPV, depending on two assumptions in relation to the depreciation. In the first, it is considered as a fixed cost and is calculated based on three methods (straight line, increasing and decreasing digits); in second, the depreciation depends on the quantity of annual product (constant, increasing or decreasing depending on law geometric) and the productive capacity of equipment. Are added other aspects such as equity or debt financing, the discrete or continuous character of production and when we do not consider the value of money over time, coinciding in the latter case with the break-even point. With decreasing depreciation, debt financing, continuous production or when we do not consider the value of the money in the time, we need less quantity of product to annul the NPV

The aim of this work is the analysis of some characteristics of students of the Faculty of Economics of Valencia (2003-2015 data) in the double degree in Business Administration and Law, which may affect student outcomes measured by the school qualification of the process.

The ADAPTECC Climate Change Adaptation Game is a role-play game designed to enable players to experience the difficulties that arise at local and regional levels when authorities have to implement adaptation measures. Adaptation means anticipating the advert effects of climate change (CC) and taking measures to prevent and minimise the damage caused by its impacts. Each player takes the role of the mayor or a councillor of a town affected by CC who must decide what adaptation strategies and measures to take, or of a member of the Regional Environment Department which must distribute funding for adaptation among the various towns. At the end of the game, players should have a greater understanding of the economic challenges posed by adaptation to CC.

During the last years, several publications about the welfare state and its reforms have been released and they have come to be basic to understand the present and future of the in developed countries. However, the book "Unequal welfare: what remains of rights and social benefits after the crisis" by Guillem López- Casasnovas is one of the most important contributions in this field of interest. It stands out from other works by the detailed review about the possible policies and their effects for a welfare system to be more efficient and fair. In this paper the main elements of this book are analyzed, some possible teaching examples are suggested and the proposals that are introduced by the author are discussed.
