Jerarquización sectorial de la economía mexicana: Un enfoque de teoría de grafos

Abstract

In this study we applied the graphic theory in order to make a structural analysis of the Mexican economy, using as basic information the matrix of intersectorial transactions of the national input-output table, 2003 (INEGI, 2008). By analyzing the graphic of relative influence associated to the national table, we can study the "domination-dependence" relationship existing between productive sectors, both in their buying and selling aspect, achieving at the same time a structural vision of the joint behavior of these relationships. The method allows a sectorial hierarchy considering the global dependence relationships on the basis of relative measures of attraction, by ignoring the individual weight of each sector in the economy, yield a realistic vision of its intersectorial relationships. Finally, this is an aspect not incorporated in the classical input output structural analysis.
