Abstract
NUNEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Gaspar. SAM and AGEM of Mexico and Taxes on Hydrocarbons Extraction. Ens. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.53, pp.93-119. ISSN 0121-117X. https://doi.org/10.15446/ede.v28n53.75777.
In this article we build a SAM for Mexico (2008) and design an Applied General Equilibrium Model, both of which can be applied to other research. We use them to analyze taxes on hydrocarbons extraction, given their importance for public budget and recent energy reforms. An increase in Households Income Taxes is simulated while those taxes decrease: results show that the former would have to triple to compensate for the later, and that the first four deciles would benefit with a positive equivalent variation (given progressive Income tax), but deciles V to X would suffer a severe loss that outweighs by far the gain in low income deciles.
