Abstract

This paper analyzes the current situation of state credit markets. It is shown that, as it now, it exists the possibility of bailing out state in this market by the federal government; this may caused a state overborrowing position. A model which includes asymmetric information is built. This suggests that without the possibility of bail out there exists credit rationing in the market. When that possibility is removed, then the information becomes irrelevant and there is no credit rationing. This result suggest that the current legal framework governing the state debt should be modified to avoid the possibility of bailing out states. This is considered an important element in the context of the new federalism that Mexico is undertaking because this would lead to determine an optimal structure of capital.// Este documento analiza la situación actual del mercado financiero estatal. Se muestra que hoy en día existe la posibilidad de rescate financiero en este mercado por parte de gobierno federal, lo que conduce a un sobreendeudamiento estatal. Se desarrolla un modelo con información asimétrica con el que se concluye que sin posibilidad de rescate financiero debe existir racionamiento de crédito en el mercado. Introduciendo dicha posibilidad al modelo, la información se convierte en irrelevante y no existe racionamiento de crédito. Los resultados sugieren que se debe modificar el artículo 9 de la Ley de Coordinación Fiscal, la cual permite la posibilidad de rescate financiero. Esto es considerado como una arista importante dentro del marco del nuevo federalismo mexicano, ya que la política de endeudamiento estatal es un elemento fundamental en la determinación óptima de una estructura de gasto-financiamiento.
