Sánchez As usual, the responsibility is only ours Upon reviewing the literature, available works can be classified in two main categories: (a) theoretical–empirical studies, in the sense that they review and discuss the estimation methods of Okun’s law (in this respect see: Barreto and Howland, 1993; Altig et al., 1997; Attfield and Silverstone, 1998; Sögner and Stiassny, 2000; Harris and Silverstone, 2001; Crespo, 2003; Friedman and Michael, 1974; Lang and de Peretti, 2002; Prachowny, 1993; Weber, 1995; Schorderet, 2001; Knoester, 1986; Paldam, 1987), and (b) empirical studies, whose main purpose is to estimate the Okun’s coefficients for some countries, even at the level of states or regions, in order to know the existing interrelations between different countries by identifying reciprocities between unemployment and output (see: Abril et al., 1996; Adanu, 2002; Arias et al., 2002; Garavito, 2002; Lemois, 2003; Murillo and Usabiaga, 2002; Freeman, 2001; Lee, 2001; Moosa, 1997 and Schnabel, 2002) In Loría and Ramos (op cit.) the economic implications of the results depicted in this table were carefully analysed In addition, it is worth mentioning that (2) established the natural rate of unemployment (3.72 per cent) and (3) the output elasticity to employment Okun’s law and Mexico 275 where PEA = economically active population (Conapo, 2006), PO = employees (millions of persons) in the formal sector (INEGI, 2007a) This way, the problem of spurious regression could only exist in model and we followed the Johansen procedure (1988) to discard it Accordingly, with a confidence level of 99 per cent we obtained a cointegrating vector with economic sense; statistic trace 27.78 (24.6), adjustment coefficient –0.6275 (standard error: 0.126) References Abril, J.C., H.D
