In this paper, we explore consensus on economic opinions, economics' scientific aspects, and economics assumptions, in groups of a well-defined population of economics academic community in Mexico. We apply procedures to determine consensus within and between groups. Outcomes indicate that surveyed individuals which consider economists agree on fundamental issues tend to exhibit both higher degrees of consensus as more favorable views towards open economy and neoclassical economics, than those which do not consider economists agree on fundamental issues. Members of both groups support state interventions in the economy, but of a different kind.
Se presenta un análisis económico de la Ley de energía para el campo, (LEC) que examina cómo su diseño afecta los mercados y crea una estructura de información que favorece la extracción de rentas. Mediante modelos sencillos de equilibrio parcial y de agente-principal se muestra que las tarifas de estímulo para bombeo agrícola distorsionan las relaciones de producción en el campo mexicano y que, lejos de favorecer la productividad, incrementan artificialmente la demanda de energía y la sobreexplotación de acuíferos. Se proponen tres opciones de reforma que mejorarían la eficiencia y disminuirían la extracción de rentas.
