The rural economic analysis at the level of rural localities, especially the one carried out with economic-accounting tools -Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and Multisectoral Models (MM)- makes it possible to generate key and timely information for the design of promotion strategies and policy actions in accordance to the rural reality. This research, developed in five rural localities of the state of Sonora, contributes significant elements about the current rural economy and its response capacity to future incentives or external shocks.
