Research Network Working Paper, 443. Reinter states and geography in Mexico's development / Roberto Blum 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 443 Título : Reinter states and geography in Mexico's development Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Roberto Blum ; Alberto Díaz Cayeros Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 69 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO ECONOMIA MEXICO MODELOS ECONOMETRICOS Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper provides a long-term historical and econometric account of the way in which geography has shaped development in the Mexican states. The emphasis is placed on the way in which the natural geography is reinforced by political decisions, which configure the human geography of population density, urbanization and public good provision, which in turn determine income, growth and poverty. The paper presents brief historical instances of how geography has determined prospects for development at different moments in Mexican history. This anecdotal discussion seeks to highlight the intrinsic link of geography with political institutions, which is central to understanding the economic effects of geography. The paper then presents a descriptive statistical and geographical profile of the relationship between geography and development in Mexico. The paper argues that the main channel through which geography affects development is political. The fragmentation of political jurisdictions in the form of municipal governments constitutes a proxy for man-made barriers to geographic mobility, which explain the interaction between geography, politics and development.

Research Network Working Paper, 447. Fiscal decentralization in Mexico / Fausto Hernández Trillo 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 447 Título : Fiscal decentralization in Mexico : the bailout problem Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Fausto Hernández Trillo ; Alberto Díaz Cayeros ; Rafael Gamboa González Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 54 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ASPECTOS FISCALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO CRISIS FINANCIERA DESCENTRALIZACION GUBERNAMENTAL DEUDA PUBLICA GOBIERNO LOCAL MEXICO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze the determinants and consequences of bailing out states, in particular, those observed in Mexico. This work suggests that the explicit generalized bailout carried out by the federal government in Mexico in 1995 created a moral hazard problem. Another result of the analysis is that the existing institutional-legal framework is not adequate, since it provides incentives for states to borrow and for banks to lend without evaluating the risk of the project. Likewise, the importance of the state is a major determinant in providing bailout transfers. Also, the more fiscal need a state government has when the state government is incapable of adjusting its expenditure, the more likely the state to get an extraordinary transfer during the period of study. On the other hand, political variables are not an important determinant of a bailout, except, perhaps, when there are state elections. It is also shown that excessive indebtedness of local states may have equity implications as well: bailouts tend to be highly regressive, as the poorer—and less indebted—states receive much less in extraordinary resources.
