Abstract

A structural vector error correction (SVEC) model was constructed as an information system that contains: US Industrial Output, the monetary aggregate M2, the Unemployment Rate, and the Real Exchange Rate (Mexico to the USA). The model fulfills all the correct specification tests, and proved to be structurally stable through some recursive tests. The model is based on four theoretical and empirical facts: (a) Okun’s Law, (b) the existence of real effects of monetary policy, (c) the dependency of the Mexican economy to US Industrial Output, and (d) a positive effect of the real exchange rate to GDP. The model has also been employed in quarterly forecast (2 or 3 years in advance) for the last 10 years.

Which follows from Granger causality.
