This seminar discusses a post-Keynesian simulation of the Mexican economy's growth, using a stock-flow framework to analyze macroeconomic processes. The study aims to replicate economic evolution for better understanding trends and variable movements. Key topics include private sector modeling, stock accumulation, income growth factors, and price levels. Measurement difficulties, private income approximation, investment patterns, and distributive conflicts are explored. The analysis includes behavior equations, growth rates, open and closed economy considerations, benefit participation estimates, and graphic results. The presentation emphasizes a simple yet stylistic exposition that balances empirical evidence with theoretical and methodological ideas.
