| Abstract |
Background and objective: The Mexican automotive industry has become one\n of the strongest in the world, it generates significant contributions to\n the gross domestic product, and creates direct and indirect jobs, which\n promotes the entry of foreign direct investment. This article assesses\n the impact of the automotive industry on the Mexican economy.\n Methodology: The role of the automotive industry in the economic\n structure and its impact on investment flows are assessed through social\n accounting matrices. Under the proposed methodology, the classification\n of sectors and the impact and employment multipliers are obtained.\n Subsequently, an investment shock is introduced to analyze its effect on\n Mexico\'s main economic indicators.\n Empirical results: The classification of sectors indicates that the\n automotive industry is not strongly linked to the national economy. The\n accounting multipliers show that the sector has a very weak sensitivity\n to changes in the rest of the accounts. Job multipliers classify it as\n an industry with a high labor productivity index. Finally, by simulating\n an investment shock for expansion, it is shown that the connection with\n the rest of the economy is stronger and generates greater capital flows\n with the rest of productive activities.\n Limitations: There is only complete and reliable data for social\n accounting matrices for 2012 in Mexico updated for the automotive\n sector.\n Conclusions: The automotive industry develops in isolation from the rest\n of the economic activity, however, empirical evidence shows that the\n impact that this sector has on the rest of the economy in the face of\n investment flows is stronger, and, in turn, those activities, which are\n keys within this expansion process, are identified. |
