A First Approach to Ordoliberalism in Mexico: Applying Content Analysis in the Social Sciences

The research aims to quantify the degree of ordoliberalism in Mexico for the last six presidents. A quantitative content analysis will be conducted for the 1988-2024 period using the National Development Plan (NDP) of each president. Once quantified the degree of ordoliberalism, a comparative method will be conducted to highlight the relationship between ordoliberalism and economic growth. The results indicate that all presidents have showed a certain degree of ordoliberalism in economic policy (26 % on average) and a positive relationship can be glimpsed between the degree of ordoliberalism and the economic growth in Mexico.
