Abstract

El artículo se enfoca en un problema estructural de la economía mexicana: el bajo crecimiento económico. Se argumenta que las industrias manufactureras son el motor del crecimiento económico. En este sentido, se supone que una de las principales causas del bajo crecimiento en México es la insuficiencia dinámica de las manufacturas. Para verificar lo anterior, se usaron series de tiempo trimestrales de 1982 a 2015, de la producción manufacturera, no manufacturera y total, con las cuales se probó estacionariedad y cointegración y se aplicó un test de causalidad de Granger. Se encontró que la serie de producción manufacturera es causa estadística de la producción no manufacturera y total, lo cual es consistente con el marco teórico sectorial-estructural usado como referencia. Con base en los resultados, el artículo discute la actual política económica y sugiere mejoras, particularmente tener un enfoque más activo en relación con la promoción del desarrollo de la producción manufacturera, para asegurar que la economía se dinamice y entre en un círculo virtuoso de causación acumulativa.******The article focuses on a structural problem of the Mexican economy: low economic growth. It is argued that the manufacturing industries are the engine of economic growth. In this sense, it is assumed that one of them maincauses of low growth in Mexico is the insufficient dynamic of the manufacturers. To verify the above, the authors used quarterly time series from 1982 to 2015, of the manufacturing output, non-manufacturing output, and total, through which they then proved stationarity and co-integration. They also applied a Granger causality test. The authors found that the manufacturing output series is a statistical effect of the non-manufacturing output and total, which is consistent with the sectorial-structural theoretical framework used as reference. Based on the results, the article discusses the current economic policy and recommends improvements, particularly in terms of procuring a more active focus in relation to promoting the development of the manufacturing output, to help the economy become more dynamic and enter a virtuous circle of cumulative causation.
