The effect of manufacturing production on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and on total and manufacturing productivity, as well as the dynamic effect created in the economy by the industrial sector, under Kaldor’s view, is a topic under debate due to the patterns presented in deindustrialisation and industrial productivity in developed countries...

Average retirement saving in Mexico is persistently low, the causes are not only microeconomic but also macroeconomic, the latter have been rarely studied in the literature for emerging economies. This paper is aimed at exploring the macroeconomic determinants of average retirement saving in Mexico. We use times series data in monthly bases, from J...

Este artículo presenta evidencia de que el sector manufacturero mantiene un proceso dinámico que estimula el crecimiento en economías europeas, a pesar del aparente proceso de desindustrialización, reflejado en la caída del empleo manufacturero y de la participación de este sector en el PIB total. El análisis econométrico estático y dinámico de las...

La relación entre infraestructura carretera y crecimiento económico regional ha sido estudiada con resultados poco concluyentes.

Nowadays, the pension system in Mexico, based on the Mexican Social Security Institute Law of 1997, does not comply with the expected coverage rate, which causes the impoverishment of the retired population. This situation is expected to worsen because workers can´t contribute enough to their own savings accounts within the current system. The pres...

By using panel data analysis across 368 water utilities in Mexico over the period 2010–2014, we find that small firms are more efficient than medium and large providers and that increasing production is associated with less efficiency. Billing, income collection and profitability are relevant factors to improve efficiency. Medium and large firms re...

Transitar por la disciplina, multidisciplina, interdisciplina y transdisciplina es un gran desafío, cuando se intenta consolidar un equipo de trabajo. El reto de superar visiones fragmentadas, traspasar las barreras entre la teoría y la práctica cotidiana, atravesar las fronteras de las diversas disciplinas, nos ha llevado a asumir posiciones más o...

By using static and dynamic panel data techniques, this paper analyses the impact of economic, structural, institutional and social factors on tax revenue, across 34 countries from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, over the period 2001-2011. The results show that gross domestic product per capita, the industrial sector, an...

La ciudad de México ya no es el polo dominante que propicia polarización socioeconómica, según la teoría dualista, un polo concentrador; en el largo plazo puede convertirse en un polo diseminador. Ciertamente mantiene los indicadores de desarrollo más altos, pero éstos tienen el crecimiento más lento a nivel nacional. Aunque la teoría neoclásica ju...

By conducting panel data analysis across 32 federal entities in Mexico over the period 1994-2006, this paper studies the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) and its effect on income inequality within and between regions. We observe that the level of development and the size of the market have a direct relationship with FDI and therefore...

A través de un análisis de datos en panel para 32 entidades federales en México durante el periodo de 1994 a 2006, este trabajo explora las determinantes de la inversión extranjera directa (IED) y su efecto sobre la desigualdad del ingreso dentro y entre las regiones. Se observa que el nivel de desarrollo y el tamaño de mercado tienen una relación...

Mexico city is no longer the dominant pole that boosted social and economic polarization. According to the dualist thesis, over the longer run a dominant pole can exert a spread effect. The Federal District keeps the highest development indicators, but it has the lowest growth in Mexico. Although neoclassical growth theory can justify this trend, i...

In this study, it is illustrated that the economic crisis of 2008-2009 has not been overtaken and, although México has low levels of public debt and has returned to the rate of economic growth that had before the crisis, its level of economic growth is still low, as a result of the slowdown of exports, which is also the result of the global recessi...

Through dynamic panel data techniques and applying the estimated household income inequality data-set (Galbraith and Kum, 2003), this paper is aimed at exploring the effect of economic variables such as trade, foreign direct investment (FDI) and inflation on inequality, under different scenarios of domestic efficiency and over time. Trade benefits...

This paper is aimed at developing a general equilibrium stochastic model in an economy populated by identical, competitive, and risk-averse consumers-investors. Such agents make decisions on portfolio and consumption by maximizing discounted total expected utility. Under the assumptions that there exists a stock index whose stochastic dynamics is d...

After 1984 and following economic liberalisation, income inequality in Mexico has increased. Some of the main factors that have contributed to this trend are the relative expansion of the average income in the service sector in relation to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, which is consistent with arguments such as the rise of services an...

Using a panel data set of countries this paper shows that the inequality-growth relationship follows an ordinary-U curve during the period 1970-98, in which inequality first decreases and then increases with economic growth. In addition, there is some evidence that the increasing pattern may reverse at higher levels of income. A time-series approac...

The economic liberalization process, undertaken on a global scale since the early 1980s, has induced support for a set of market-oriented policies that can be summarized as deregulation, privatization, liberalization of markets and macroeconomic discipline. This prescription creates the preconditions for the expansion of trade and the flow of inves...
