Reflective guidelines on Mexican fiscal federalism in a context of demographic and productive inequality

Abstract

This paper analyzes the role that fiscal federalism should play taking as its starting point a context of acute regional asymmetry current from a revisionist view. The transfer programs adopted at the central level does not attend regional deficiencies and are intended to maintain the asymmetries for not considering the structural weaknesses of each region and the lack of endogenous resources that cause increasingly large gaps in regions if they have them.
