Abstract

We study the horizon and magnitude of the effects of life expectancy and mortality by age and gender groups on economic growth in Mexico, 1950-1995, using a Granger causality for longer periods up to 25 years. The effects have a high magnitude of about 2% annual growth for this period. Conditions under which this magnitude is consistent with a series of other studies are discussed. Especially important are: considering many channels of long-term affects and context of strong economic growth. Significant causality from income to life expectancy is also detected.// Estudiamos aquí el horizonte y magnitud de los efectos de la esperanza de vida y de mortalidad por grupos de edad y género en el crecimiento económico de México en el periodo 1950-1995, utilizando una prueba de causalidad de Granger en ecuaciones del crecimiento económico. Los resultados indican una causalidad más sólida para periodos más largos de hasta 25 años. Los efectos tienen una magnitud alta de cerca de 2% de crecimiento anual para ese periodo. Examinamos las condiciones en las cuales es congruente esta magnitud con una serie de otros estudios. Son en particular importantes la consideración de muchos medios de los efectos a largo plazo y un contexto de gran crecimiento económico. Se detecta también una causalidad significativa del ingreso respecto a la esperanza de vida.
