Assessment of effects of monetary policy on economic activity has focused on the national level, without considering effects at regional level. The aim of this paper was to estimate the effects that an unanticipated increase in interest rate would have on regional production in México from 2000-2019. For this purpose, we used a panel structural vector autoregressive model (SVAR). The results suggest a negative and differentiated effect on regional production. This effect appears from the second trimester, after the increase in interest rate.

Keywords : monetary policy; economic activity; SVAR panel.
