Abstract

En este artículo se determina, mediante un modelo econométrico, el cumplimiento de la ley de Thirlwall para el caso de la economía mexicana, tomando como referencia los datos de 1989-2007. Para la ley de Thirlwall el saldo de la balanza comercial (SBC) es importantísimo ya que el crecimiento del producto interno bruto (PIB) está restringido por éste. Definitivamente esto es lo que se demuestra en este trabajo que, sin duda, tiene un corte meramente heterodoxo pues no considera que las restricciones de la oferta operen antes que las de la demanda efectiva, la cual debe tener un mayor impacto en la economía. La variable ficticia D1MEX nos indica que el PIB no crece a un ritmo mayor a raíz de la implementacion del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) debido a que no permite el crecimiento del PIB que el país necesita sino, por el contrario, ha provocado un deterioro en los niveles de vida de la población de México. El modelo estimado cumple con todos los supuestos del modelo de regresión lineal clásico, además, el modelo es estadísticamente significativo, está bien especificado y sirve para explicar el comportamiento de la economía mexicana dentro del periodo que se consideró para el análisis./ In this article we examine, using an econometric model, compliance with the law of Thirlwall in the case of the Mexican economy by reference to data from 1989-2007. Thirlwall’s law for the balance of trade balance (SBC) is important as growth of gross domestic product (GDP) is restricted by it. Definitely this is what is shown in this work that, undoubtedly, has a purely cut unorthodox that it does not consider supply constraints operating before the eff ective demand, which should have a greater impact on the economy. D1MEX dummy variable indicates that GDP is growing at a faster rate following the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because it does not allow GDP growth the country needs but on the contrary has led to a deterioration in living standards of the population of Mexico. The estimated model fulfills all the assumptions of classical linear regression model, in addition, the model is statistically significant, is well specified and used to explain the behavior of the Mexican economy in the period considered for analysis.
