Abstract/Artist's Statement

This project delves into the economic dynamics of Latin America, with a specific emphasis on Mexico, through a comprehensive historical analysis to contextualize Mexico's economic evolution. It explores the evolution of economic structures and trends utilizing data from the 2018 OECD Mexican Input-Output table (IOT) and National Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico (INEGI) databases, mapping out the economic activities of Mexico. However, the difference in levels of aggregation in the data posed a barrier to updating the 2018 OECD Mexican IOT with 2022 INEGI data. The author attempts to introduce a roadmap for updating the 2018 tables with more recent vintages of data from INEGI. Furthermore, a policy simulation section aims to identify strategies for sustainable economic development. It involved constructing a Leontief's model using the 2018 OECD Mexican IOT to understand the multiplier effect of economic activity, with a specific focus on the "transportation" sector for analysis. Through this multiplier approach, the project aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of economic factors shaping Mexico's northern border states and provide valuable insights for development and economic policies.
