Las cadenas productivas de la caña de azúcar, el maíz blanco, la leche y la carne de bovinos son aquellas cuya inversión tiene un mayor efecto en la reducción de la pobreza rural, el crecimiento del producto interno agrícola y el consumo privado en México; por lo que es de suma importancia detectar aquellas microrregiones que resultan estratégicas...

Newspaper article about the association between social mobility and a care system.

La movilidad social en Nuevo León está ranqueada entre las más altas del país, para el resto del país las cifras son desalentadoras. Aun así, la movilidad social se vive diferente en presencia de servicios que apoyen los cuidados de menores de edad, enfermos y adultos mayores. El presente estudio muestra que si la localidad en que se vive cuenta co...

En 2014 México implemento un impuesto al carbón, el cual no ha alcanzado la recaudación esperada, no ha reducido emisiones y ha tenido un efecto regresivo. Adicionalmente, no hay coordinación entre metas climáticas y otros Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Para explorar esto, desarrollamos un análisis de equilibrio general computable, que s...

Since 2014, Mexico has implemented a carbon tax policy, which has not reached the expected revenue, failed at decreasing emissions, and had a regressive effect. Moreover, there has not been coordination between climate and other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To explore this, we perform a Computable General Equilibrium analysis to simulate a...

Mexico's economy contracted unprecedentedly in 2020. Agriculture remains important for the economy and job creation, but it lacks strong productive dynamism and exhibits high informality. We show that investing in agriculture’s infrastructure can contribute to economic recovery and welfare post-COVID-19. On the basis of a dynamic computable general...

There is evidence that the well-known conditional cash transfer program PROGRESA/ /OPORTUNIDADES/PROSPERA, implemented in Mexico since the 1990s increased school enrolment, nutrition, and health outcomes among its participants, but little is known about its effects on school performance. This paper assesses this less commonly explored aspect throug...

Mexico's gross domestic product (GDP) contracted unprecedentedly as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. While the primary sector has relatively been the most resilient, the agriculture sector lacks sufficiently strong productive dynamism and has high rates of informal work and low wages. Investing more in the sector's productive infrastructure would h...

El Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) mexicano se contrajo de una forma nunca antes vista como resultado de la crisis asociada a la COVID-19. Si bien el sector primario ha sido el más resiliente, la agricultura carece de un dinamismo más productivo y se caracteriza por su alta informalidad laboral y sus bajos salarios. Invertir más en la infraestructura...

Este capítulo pretende complementar los análisis que se centran en un horizonte de tiempo más amplio, y enfocar el análisis en tres temas para los que la investigación es más limitada, y que tienen que ver con las implicaciones de mediano plazo del POP. El primero de ellos se refiere al grado de éxito obtenido al fomentar trayectos educativos de ma...

A SAM-based price model for Mexico is developed in order to assess the effects of the carbon tax, which was part of the fiscal reform approved in 2014. The model is formulated based on a social accounting matrix (SAM) that distinguishes households by the official poverty condition and geographical area. The main results are that the sector that inc...

This paper analyses why middle-income countries incentivize renewable energy despite inexpensive domestic fossil fuel resources and lack of international support. We examine the politics of renewable energy programs in Mexico, South Africa and Thailand. All three countries hold abundant local fossil fuel and renewable energy resources. We argue th...

The unexpected Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis (2010–2012) aroused different attempts of interpretation among analysts and practitioners. While some attributed the crisis to a “contagion” effect of the Subprime Mortgages Financial Crisis in the United States (2007–2009), others saw in it an expression of deeper fundamental economic imbalances. This...

Using dynamic panel data analysis, with both urban personal income for grouped data and household income from national surveys, it finds that inequality and growth are positively related. This relationship...

The present work encloses an analysis related to the channels through which income inequality affects economic growth and another related to the sources of economic growth. In the first, we use two-stage estimation with fixed effects finding that the fiscal effects of inequality on growth may depend on the government expenditure covariate. Secondly...

The relationship between income distribution and economic growth has been found to depend on several factors such as capital markets imperfections, moral hazard, indivisibility in investments, and existence of dual economic characteristics. In recent literature the importance of geography has been emphasized in defining this relationship due to itâ...
