Responsiveness, Fiscal policy, Monetary policy, International crises, Mortality rateAbstract
The introduction outlines the effects of the global health and economic crisis, as well as its impact on Mexico. It identifies various theoretical studies on the capacity of national economies to respond to economic crises, referencing the scope of economic policy and its impact on economic recovery and, consequently, on the mortality rate during the pandemic.
The introduction considers different theoretical studies that define the consequences of a small open economy, as well as the identification of the various forms of capitalism, culminating in hierarchical capitalism in Mexico and its influence on the capacity to respond to an international crisis.The methodology section presents a descriptive analysis using macroeconomic indicators that reveals the decisions made by the Bank of Mexico and the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), allowing for an examination of their impact on economic recovery and the mortality rate during the period under study.
