La presente investigación evalúa el efecto de dicho aumento en la pobreza, considerando la capacidad de sustitución en el consumo de las familias. Además, se analiza la eficiencia en la focalización de diferentes mecanismos de asignación de recursos públicos, y se encuentra que la utilización del padrón de beneficiarios de algunos programas sociales como Oportunidades representa una mejora en relación con otros esquemas de asignación, como los subsidios a los alimentos y las transferencias universales. Sin embargo, un porcentaje importante de la población en situación de pobreza alimentaria no está protegido por la red de programas sociales, por lo que uno de los desafíos fundamentales del gobierno Federal será el de ampliar su cobertura en el corto y mediano plazos.]]></p></abstract>

The present study evaluates the impact of those price increases on poverty, considering the substitution ability of the families in their consumption. Different targeting mechanisms were analyzed in their efficiency for allocating public funds. In this case, using the platform of social programs such as Oportunidades represents an improvement with respect to other mechanisms such as food subsidies and universal transfers. However, it is important to remember that a large share of the Mexican population be low food poverty line does not receive any support from social programs. For the Federal Government, this represents a challenge to extend their coverage in the short and medium term.]]></p></abstract>
