Abstract

By using Input-Output Analysis methodologies developed by Chenery-Watanabe and Rasmussen, it is possible to estimate the direct and total linkages respectively. This is done in order to identify key sectors in Mexican economy for the period from 1995
to 2009, with a level of disaggregation of 35 sectors. Thus, through the applied Methodologies one can detect changes in the production structure, both excluding the external sector, as well as performing different weights to the linkage coefficients. The overall conclusion is that the Mexican productive structure underwent changes that lead to the substitution of domestic products for foreign products.
