This paper employs a vector error correction methodology to investigate the long-term determinants of consumer goods inflation and industrial growth in Mexico during the 2001–2016 period. This is underpinned by a aggregate demand-aggregate supply model that brings new explanatory variables into play and keeps a priori restrictions on the data to a minimum. The evidence shows that cost-push and demand-pull inflation are both present and reveals the variables at work in each case. This study fills a gap in the empirical literature by showing that labour productivity not only spurs industrial gro…
Este trabajo emplea un modelo vectorial de corrección de errores para investigar los determinantes a largo plazo del crecimiento industrial y del aumento en los precios de los bienes de consumo en México en el período 2001-2016. El sustento teórico es un modelo de oferta y demanda agregadas que incorpora nuevas variables explicativas y mantiene al mínimo las restricciones a priori sobre los datos. La evidencia indica que la inflación de costos coexiste con la inflación de demanda y revela cuáles son las variables en juego en cada caso. Este estudio llena un vacío en la literatura empírica, al …
