NUNEZ RODRIGUEZ, Gaspar. Elements for an economic development strategy of Mexico. Anál. econ. [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.84, pp.9-31. ISSN 2448-6655.

From a comparative-structural analysis of Mexico and 10 selected economies, we find well defined patterns of the productive structure, with notable preponderance of activities that are key sectors: Basic metals and Chemicals and chemical products. Also, the most important driving sectors are Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers and Coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel. Analysis of effects of dispersion shows that, the Mexican Financial intermediation sector is drastically far from offering the breadth of services that in the other countries it offers to productive sectors. Our results have important policy implications and, based on them, elements to design an economic development strategy are elaborated.
