Análisis estructural de la economía mexicana para el año 2008

Identifying productive sectors with the capacity to boost the economy is fundamental to policy design. This paper analyzes the structure of the Mexican economy, using general equilibrium linear models based on a social accounting matrix. First, we analyze key sectors, determining direct, indirect, and induced effects. Then, we elaborate a three-dimensional landscape of the economy and identify labor multipliers. Finally, income-expenditure distribution of households is analyzed. Among other results, the most important sectors are commerce activities. Less important sectors are the construction, cultural and sporting entertainment services, generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, corporate services and mining
