Abstract

En este artículo analizamos el impacto heterogéneo de un incremento de los costos de las remuneraciones a los trabajadores sobre el nivel de precios general y sectorial de la economía mexicana. Mediante un modelo de precios de insumo producto con funciones de costos flexibles, simulamos escenarios considerando un aumento de 10% en las remuneraciones a los trabajadores. Encontramos que el aumento de precios a nivel de sectores económicos es heterogéneo y depende tanto de su estructura de costos como de cuán flexibles sean dichos sectores para sustituir. A nivel global, para costos fijos un aumento del 10% tiene un efecto sobre la inflación de 2.2%, mientras para costos flexibles de 1.98%. La originalidad de este trabajo consiste en el hallazgo de impactos heterogéneos, dando pie a la propuesta de políticas públicas focalizadas por sector. Naturalmente, el modelo está limitado por los propios supuestos del modelo de insumo producto.
