NUNEZ RODRIGUEZ, Gaspar  and  MENDOZA MEZA, Valentín. Matriz de contabilidad social y análisis estructural de una economía rural: el ejido Los Lirios, municipio de Arteaga, Coahuila, México. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2008, n.28, pp.43-71. ISSN 2448-7481.

Design of regional development policy, requires knowledge of the region and appropriate analytic tools. Regional Social Accounting Matrices have shown proficiency in both respects, since they supply a detailed profile of the region and, at the same time, constitute the basis of a wide array of models of the structural analysis and multi-sector models in general. This paper has two main goals. First, to present a Social Accounting Matrix of a rural economy, documenting the methodology used to construct it, from collecting data through direct surveys, to matrix squaring. The second goal is to carry out a basic structural analysis, using the well known model of generalized multipliers, to analyze the effects of selected exogenous shocks.

Keywords : Social accounting matrix; generalized multipliers; rural economy; regional development.
