Nacionalismo y desarrollo: una alternativa para México

Countries that have successfully achieved greater economic development have done so through an active participation of the State from various angles: driving state, regulatory state, protectionist state, etc., although a broader and most consolidated concept is that of a Developmental State. In this research we built a social accounting matrix of Mexico for 2012, on which we designed a dynamic-recursive applied general equilibrium model, to analyze and quantify the impact of policies that can be fostered by the Mexican State, particularly an increase in the private savings and subsidies to consumption of national inputs by selected key sectors. We find that even the implementation of two such simple policies generally have a substantial positive impact, from which, important elements of economic policy for a development strategy emerge.
