Economías del futuro

Sobre el Grupo

Es un grupo de investigadores que se encargan de hacer investigación multidisciplinaria sobre las dimensiones sociales de los problemas contemporáneos que afectan el desarrollo. Las investigaciones que se realizan ayudan a las agencias internacionales, gobiernos locales y federales y académicos a entender mejor como los procesos de cambio económico, social y del medio ambiente afectan a los hogares y diferentes grupos sociales.

Es un hecho estilizado que México no ha alcanzado el crecimiento económico deseado dado su potencial, así como tampoco ha logrado erradicar la pobreza y la disminución en las desigualdades, sea del ingreso o de las oportunidades de vida de los mexicanos al nacer.
Las áreas del grupo están orientadas a interpretar la realidad y a proponer políticas públicas que incrementen las posibilidades de éxito de un desarrollo económico y social sustentables.

Por ello, la Escuela ha introducido en este grupo un área donde se estudie, evalúe y dé seguimiento a la evolución de las metas de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
Se han desarrollado contribuciones de evaluación de impacto de políticas públicas, se ha propuesto sustentabilidad de la provisión del agua en la nación y medidas para combatir la obesidad, entre muchas otras. La Escuela seguirá impulsando todo lo relativo a un análisis riguroso del desarrollo económico.

Líneas de investigación

• Análisis de la política pública a través de la medición del impacto económico de la educación, la salud, migración y el cambio climático.
• El estudio de las finanzas públicas en términos de impuestos, gasto público y programas sociales.
• Las causas y las consecuencias de la corrupción y el crimen.

If you do not have this average, we ask that you contact your admissions advisor to learn about the additional steps to follow.

*Some programs have additional admission requirements.
