Using an applied general equilibrium model we reproduce an input-output model which in turn is used to estimate multipliers as well as some additional impacts for Mexico. While the results are conceptually the same as those of a Leontief model, their interpretation is simpler and the model is...

The paper presents a summary of the theory of fiscal decentralization for a federal government. Possible applications of the theory to the case of Mexico are discussed. Finally, a reform consisting of a partial decentralization of the personal income tax is simulated.
