Abstract
CARDONA RESENDIZ, Gabriela Araceli; CARDENETE FLORES, Manuel Alejandro and MARTINEZ GARCIA, Claudia Icela. Mexican economic structure: key, strategic, drivers and independent sectors 2012. Rev. econ. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.90, pp.9-50. ISSN 2395-8715.
The design of economic policies to encourage economic growth makes it necessary to identify key productive sectors to adequately channel public policy efforts. The objective of this paper is to identify these productive sectors through the use of applied general equilibrium models. First, the social accounting matrix for Mexico 2012 was built. Subsequently, an analysis of generalized multipliers was carried out. Finally, based on the social accounting matrix, the effects of absorption and diffusion were determined to locate the key, strategic, driving and independent sectors. As a result of the analysis, the sectors that have a greater multiplier effect are the education services sector, legislative activities and the corporate sector. On the other hand, the key sectors are trade and real estate services, the strategic ones are manufacturing and transport, while legislative and corporate activities are driving sectors, finally agriculture and construction are independent sectors.
Keywords : key sectors; social accounting matrix; multiplier effect.
