El propósito de este trabajo es analizar, mediante el ejemplo del triplay indonesio importado a México en los noventa, una práctica desleal de comercio que es disfrazada. A saber, el subsidiar de manera indirecta la exportación de una mercancía mediante barreras al comercio de los insumos...

Using a post-Keynesian approach, the paper analyzes the economic growth in the Mexican economy during the period 1929-2003. Our first model emphasizes the role of the ratio of exports/imports income elasticities and the performance of the rest of the world economy, and the second one the...

This work surveys possible tributary schemes that might complement or substitute part of the fiscal structure that currently exists in Mexico. Some of the schemes are audacious, as it is the case of the progressive consumption tax, and other reasonable and plausible ones, as it is the case of...

This paper evaluates the indirect tax reforms that took place in Mexico in 1995 and 1998, focusing on their impact on welfare at the household and social levels. The empirical analysis is based on the estimation of an Almost Ideal Demand system, using its correct nonlinear version and by means...

This paper provides omnibus tests for multivariate normality of both observations and residuals. They are derived by considering as the alternatives to the multivariate normal a class of maximum-entropy distributions studied elsewhere by the author. The tests, being Lagrange multiplier...

This paper examines the sustainability of the Mexican current account deficit prior to the December 1994 crisis. It tests whether or not the Mexican economy was satisfying its intertemporal budget constraint, and finds that signals of possible trouble without a change in policies were present...

The purpose of this paper is to make an appraisal of the tax reforms that took place in Mexico in the eighties and the beginning of the nineties, putting emphasis on their macroeconomic consequences. The paper also examines the pattern of government expenditures along the last three presidential...

This paper contains a GAUSS program that can be used, among other things, to find equilibria for computable general equilibrium models, and fix-price equilibria for general non-Walrasian models. Simple applications for those two cases, as well as for linear and quadratic programming, are also...
