Abstract

The relationship between public and private investment in emerging countries is a relevant topic, as it helps to better understand the role of government in economic growth. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between public and private investment in Mexico and to identify whether there is a crowding in or crowding out effect in the country. The crowding in and crowding out effects can be identified through a time series analysis; for this purpose, data on investment and primary expenditure in Mexico during the period 1993-2021 were used, together with cointegration tests and a linear regression analysis. As part of the conclusions, it has been identified that in Mexico there is a complementarity effect between both variables, verifying the leading role of the government in attracting private investment to the country.
