THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INFLATION AND GASOLINE PRICES IN MEXICO

Main Article Content

Edgar Ivan austino Cruz

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between inflation and gasoline prices in Mexico, particularly in periods of high volatility. Markov regime-switching models are used to examine this relationship. Additionally, the implications of the results for national economic policy are discussed, concluding that subsidies provided by the federal government have a direct impact on containing general inflation, but the limitations of the study should be taken into account.
