Reconstructing household financial well-being; The case of Mexican households
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de Contaduría y Administración, 2025)

Through the application of Bayesian Network methodology, this study delves into household financial well-being in Mexico over the 2018 – 2022 period. The foundational scenario involved vital variables such as poverty-induced vulnerability, household type, education of the household head, financial education, income source (i.e., formal or informal sector employment), financial asset management, and savings as the main variables influencing household financial well-being. Subsequently, each variable was extrapolated to measure its impact on the focal point of interest. Results show that income from informal sector employment, education of the household head, financial education, and savings emerge as statistically significant factors exerting the greatest influence on household financial well-being. Economic policy recommendations to address these influential factors are discussed. ©The authors © Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Facultad de Contaduría y Administración.

Transmisión de precios futuros de maíz del Chicago Board of Trade al mercado spot mexicano
(2017)
Ortiz Arango, Francisco

Montiel Guzmán, Alma Nelly
En México, el uso del programa de coberturas de la Agencia de Servicios a la Comercialización y Desarrollo de Mercados Agropecuarios (ASERCA) es un instrumento que ha sido utilizado por los productores de maíz (principalmente blanco) para la adquisición de productos derivados en el Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), cuyo subyacente es el maíz amarillo calidad US#2. En un entorno de alta volatilidad en los precios del maíz, los precios del CBOT deberían ajustarse con los precios spot domésticos para incentivar a los productores mexicanos a participar en el programa, sin embargo, mediante un análisis de volatilidad estocástica multivariante durante el periodo de 2007 a 2012, se mostró que el precio de mercado de futuros de maíz no se encuentra fuertemente relacionado con los precios registrados en algunos estados del país, por lo que se puede inferir que la cobertura mediante el programa ASERCA no cumple adecuadamente con su propósito de proteger a los agricultores nacionales que siembran maíz blanco, a pesar de que su uso se ha incrementado.

How much do Mexicans pay for regulation in the transportation of oil products?
(EnPress Publisher, LLC, 2024)
Jiménez Pérez, Alan Israel
;
Ortiz Arango, Francisco
The new oil derivatives transportation scheme proposed by the 2013 Mexican Energy Reform allowed new participants to enter the sector. The new legal framework requires fulfilling many requirements and corresponding duties for the transportation of oil products. The Mexican government already has an institution dedicated to measuring the regulatory cost of each federal procedure. This work aims to quantify the regulatory costs associated with the procedures and their compliance to obtain permits for transporting oil products by truck. We use the standard cost method to measure these costs, considering all associated costs. The results showed that two government offices did not adequately measure these costs. They did not consider relevant information on frequency and opportunity costs, resulting in undervaluation and leading to wrong expectations. As a result of this research, we provide a more accurate way of estimating these costs, which brings greater certainty in the budgeting of these projects and, therefore, increases the probability of survival and success. © Copyright (c) 2024 Alan Israel Jiménez-Pérez, Francisco Ortiz-Arango

Pair Trading is a Neutral Market Strategy descendant of Statistical Arbitrage. Its objective is to identify pairs of assets whose historical prices or variations have high correlation between them. To attain this, pairs trading takes advantage of overvalued assets sales and purchases undervalued assets. To identify the goal pair, we performed back-testing using historical log returns (from December 31, 2008 through April 16, 2013). With the goal pair identified we run the daily strategy using historical adjusted at closed price data and historical log returns (from December 31, 2010 through September 11, 2015). Herein, we consider two inverse Exchange Trade Funds versus benchmark EEM (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF) index. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that automated trading strategy built under the co-integration approach in moving windows of 60 and 180 days is able to beat a buy and hold strategy on the EEM benchmark. © 2017, ASERS Publishing House.

Profitability Using Second-Generation Bioethanol in Gasoline Produced in Mexico
(2021)
Bautista Herrera, Adrián

Álvarez Álvarez, José
Gasoline produced in Mexico by the productive company of the state Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) mainly uses oil-derived ethers as oxygenators to reach the Mexican Regulatory ‘Frame-work’s octane number. An alternative to complying with these regulations could be to use bioethanol as an oxygenate. However, as a gasoline component, this could affect ‘Mexico’s food markets since sugar cane, and grains are the primary inputs for local production. The main objective of this study is to evaluate whether the use of bioethanol, produced from corn stubble, as an additive in gasoline produced by Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) is profitable in Mexico, from the perspective of the evaluation of the supply chain and the finances. The purpose of this work is to contribute to the definition of the advantages and limitations for the existence of a second-generation bioethanol market produced from Lignocellulosic corn biomass and integrated into the gasoline market of national production in Mexico. The work starts with theoretical research to define the use of corn stubble as raw material, set up on its availability and feasibility determined based on a geographic information system (GIS), through the use of the agricultural production forecast approach, as well as the integration of costs and financial analysis. The results show that corn stubble bioethanol production is technically viable, but the production cost is not competitive yet. Although its price is not yet competitive compared to the imported price, using a fiscal incentive scheme and considering the decrease in energy dependence, it would be feasible to produce it in Mexico. © 2021 by the authors.

Competition between agricultural foods and biofuels: Referees' response to "The nonlinear relation between biofuels and food prices"
(2017)
Venegas-Martínez, Francisco
;
Ortiz Arango, Francisco
The nonlinear relation between biofuels and food prices", written by Cruz Aké (2017), several issues were left out by the author: 1) a comparison of the paper's results with traditional non-linear econometric analysis, as Markov switching regime models; 2) a comparative analysis of the long-run relationship between biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel) consumption and its demand determinants, namely, competitive goods, their prices, world's GDP (economic activity) and climate phenomena, and 3) an explanation for the volatility regarding non-linearities in the biofuels consumption and its determinants. Under this framework to complement Cruz Aké's (2017) work, we perform a traditional cointegration analysis to assess the impact of the long-run components of the biofuel demand. We find a significative statistical consistency in the three cointegration equations from a six-equation system. Moreover, we find two volatility regimes of the biofuel consumption, wich is also consistent with the empirical evidence from Cruz Aké's (2017) paper. Although Cruz Aké (2017) contributes to the current discussion on the subject matter, it remains to consider, more carefully, other essential issues that invitied us to a deeper academic debate: 1) the distribution of innovations that drives the biofuel consumption and its price may not be Student's t nor a Generalize Extreme Value (GEV) distribution; 2) the stochastic process that guides the biofuels consumption and its price may not be stable over time, and 3) the cointegration analysis may be done by assuming fractional cointegration. Finally, it is worth noticing that Cruz Aké's (2017) paper may be extended in different ways such as: 1) the long-run sustainability of the biofuels consumption; 2) the effect of the agricultural foods and fuel prices volatilities on the economic welfare, and 3) the effect of changes in agricultural foods and energy prices on poor people. Needless to say, all the above stated points encourage to a wider and deeper debate.

Cálculo del Valor en Riesgo Operacional de una Empresa Aseguradora Mediante Redes Bayesianas
(2019)
Dávila-Aragón, Griselda
;
Ortiz Arango, Francisco
Fue en los noventas cuando se definió el concepto de Riesgo Operacional, desde entonces las instituciones, sobre todo del sector financiero, están preocupadas en este tipo de riesgo dado que su exposición podría tener consecuencias fatales. En el caso del sector asegurador su estudió se origina debido al nuevo marco regulatorio Europeo de Solvencia II. El propósito de esta investigación es el desarrollo de una metodología basada en redes bayesianas que permita identificar y medir el riesgo operacional para poder determinar el requerimiento de capital de solvencia en el proceso de cotización de pólizas en línea de una aseguradora que incursionó recientemente en esta forma de operar. Para lo cual se diseñó un modelo de red bayesiana con distribuciones a priori y a posteriori que permitieran estimar la frecuencia y la severidad de las pérdidas, con las distribuciones a posteriori se realizó una estimación de la pérdida esperada para un periodo de un año, utilizando simulación Montecarlo.

Pronóstico de precios de petróleo: una comparación entre modelos garch y redes neuronales diferenciales
(2017)
Ortiz Arango, Francisco
The aim of this paper is to show the advantages of the use of neural networks differentials (rnd) as an efficient alternative method in calculating the forecasts of future prices of financial assets, for which a comparison is made with models of the garch family, to carry out the forecast of future closing price of crude oil barrels, types West Texas International and Brent. The results shows that the use of rnd has essentially the same accuracy as the values obtained with the tgarch (1,1) model and are superior to those obtained by the garch (1,1) model to calculate price forecasts barrels of crudes Brent and wti respectively during the period of description, from January 2, 2013 to February 24, 2015 and the forecast period from February 25 to March 10, 2015. However, the effort made to obtain such results with the family of garch models is significantly higher than when using the rnd, this supports the proposal to use the rnd as a reliable alternative method in the analysis of time series.
