Abstract: Abstract The present paper picks up on previous research presented by one of the authors ten years ago at the ICOAE 2012 in Uppsala (Sweden), in which the bestowing of civil orders and medals by different Spanish governments—depending on their political orientation—was analysed using an economics approach. For this purpose, it equated the former to monetary series and establishing an inverse relationship between the number of awards granted and their “value” in terms of honour and merit. The decade since elapsed seems a period long enough to look back and check whether the conclusions reached in 2012 have stood the test of time or if, on the contrary, they do not proof right any longer. Our results show that while the differences in the bestowing between government of different orientations have nearly vanished, the important gender gap still persists.
