Economies of the Future

About the Group

This group of researchers is responsible for multidisciplinary research on the social dimensions of contemporary development problems. The research helps international agencies, local and federal governments, and academia understand better how economic, social, and environmental change processes affect households and different social groups.

It is a stylized fact that Mexico has not achieved the desired economic growth given its potential, nor has it managed to eradicate poverty and reduce inequalities, either in income or in the life opportunities of Mexicans from birth.
The areas of this group are oriented toward interpreting reality and proposing public policies that increase the chances of sustainable economic and social development success. For this reason, the School has introduced in this group an area where the evolution of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is studied, evaluated, and monitored.

Contributions have included methodologies to assess the impact of public policies, the sustainability of water supply in the nation, and measures to combat obesity, among many others. The School will continue to promote a rigorous analysis of economic development:

Research lines

• Analysis of public policy through measuring the economic impact of education, health, migration, and climate change.
• The study of public finances in terms of taxes, public spending, and social programs.
• The causes and consequences of corruption and crime.

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.
