ALBORNOZ MENDOZA, Lilian  e  ORTIZ PECH, Rafael. The Effects of the Decline of International Remittances in the Economy of Urban and Rural Regions of Mexico. A Social Accounting Matrix Approch 2002. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2016, n.45, pp.97-136. ISSN 2448-7481.

Multisectoral effects of a reduction in international remittances received by Mexican households are estimated. For this, a social accounting matrix of 1996 in which Mexico's rural regions are broken down is updated to 2002 by means of the entropy method. The results show that the effects were higher in the sectoral production of agriculture-livestock, food manufacturing, trade, services and transport. The most affected productive factor is urban work linked to the sectors of trade and transport, other services and professional services. Each 10% less in remittances imply a decreased of 1% in GDP. Most of the effect corresponds to the urban region (0.27%) and marginally to rural (0.01%).
