Abstract

The AK endogenous growth model with elastic labor supply and useful government expenditures of Turnovsky (2000) is specially calibrated for the Mexican economy in order to perform a series of fiscal reform exercises. Available taxes include lump-sum, consumption and factor income taxes. For all the simulations presented, it is found that: (i) the effects of a fiscal reform on growth and welfare depend crucially on whether the extra government revenue is allocated to either consumption or productive activities, and (ii) consumption taxes are the least distorting in terms of both growth and welfare in general.// El modelo AK de crecimiento endógeno con oferta de trabajo elástica y gasto de gobierno útil de Turnovsky (2000) es particularmente calibrado para la economía mexicana con el objetivo de realizar una serie de ejercicios de reforma fiscal. Los impuestos disponibles incluyen impuestos de suma fija, impuestos al consumo y a los ingresos factoriales. Las simulaciones muestran que i) los efectos de una reforma en el crecimiento y el bienestar dependen sobre todo de si el ingreso fiscal extra se destina a actividades de consumo o productivas, y ii) los impuestos al consumo en general son los menos distorsionadores en términos de crecimiento y bienestar.
