LA MACROECONOMÍA DE LOS HIDROCARBUROS EN MÉXICO Y SUS RELACIONES INTERSECTORIALES.

The balance of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX)'s contributions is integrated and updated with respect to Mexico's economy in terms of production, balance of payments, the public finances, employment and public indebtedness. Linkages of various economic spheres with the hydrocarbon sector and with other productive activities are analyzed based on the design and construction of a bi-sectoral input-output table for 2003. Comments are included on the sector's main problems and a number of exercises are carried out to evaluate production chains in the hydrocarbon sector compared with the rest of the production sector, the impact of modifications in petroleum exports and price increases for hydrocarbons.
