| description | COVID-19, as an event that disrupted economic activities around the world, affected government policy agendas. In Latin America, most of the responses were centralized by national governments; however, in Mexico, the 32 states developed their own economic policies in response to the pandemic. The Mexican case allows us to analyze recent hypotheses of comparative studies on this issue, which propose that the size of the population and the scale and socioeconomic structure of the administrations may be factors that explain the scope and diversity of local agendas. A quantitative methodology based on the estimation of Shannon’s entropy index and non-parametric tests is used. Contrary to expectations, we find that the scope and diversity of the responses are not significantly related to the factors proposed in the literature. At least for the case of COVID-19 in the short run, the size and diversity of local agendas in Mexico seem to be based on institutional factors, such as information processing according to bounded rationality, incremental solutions, and the functional labeling of local governments. Thus, the variety of agendas is based on the direct interests of communities. |

La covid-19, en cuanto evento que interrumpió las actividades económicas en el mundo, afectó las agendas de las políticas gubernamentales. En Latinoamérica, la mayor parte de las respuestas fueron centralizadas por los Gobiernos nacionales, sin embargo, en México, las 32 entidades federativas desarrollaron políticas económicas propias frente a la pandemia. El caso mexicano nos permite analizar recientes hipótesis de los estudios comparados sobre esta temática en cuyas propuestas se plantea que el tamaño de la población y la escala y la estructura socioeconómica de las administraciones pueden ser factores que explican el alcance y la diversidad de las agendas locales. Se emplea una metodología cuantitativa con base en la estimación del índice de entropía de Shannon y la realización de pruebas no paramétricas. Contrario a lo esperado, encontramos que el alcance y la diversidad de las respuestas no se relaciona significativamente con los factores propuestos en la literatura. Al menos para el caso de la covid-19 en el corto plazo, el tamaño y la diversidad de las agendas locales en México parecen basarse en factores institucionales como el procesamiento de la información conforme a la racionalidad limitada, las soluciones incrementales y el etiquetado funcional de los Gobiernos locales. Así, la variedad de las agendas se sustenta en los intereses directos de las comunidades. A Covid-19, como evento que interrompeu as atividades econômicas no mundo, afetou as agendas das políticas governamentais. Na América Latina, a maioria das respostas foi centralizada pelos governos nacionais, porém, no México, as 32 entidades federais desenvolveram suas próprias políticas econômicas contra a pandemia. O caso mexicano permite analisar hipóteses recentes de estudos comparativos sobre o tema, em cujas propostas se afirma que o tamanho da população e a escala e estrutura socioeconômica das administrações podem ser fatores que explicam o alcance e a diversidade das agendas locais. É utilizada uma metodologia quantitativa baseada na estimação do índice de entropia de Shannon e na realização de testes não paramétricos. Ao contrário do esperado, verificamos que a abrangência e a diversidade das respostas não se relacionam significativamente com os fatores propostos na literatura. Pelo menos para o caso da Covid-19, no curto prazo o tamanho e a diversidade das agendas locais no México parecem se basear em fatores institucionais como processamento de informações de acordo com a racionalidade limitada, soluções incrementais e rotulagem funcional dos governos locais. Assim, a variedade de agendas é baseada nos interesses diretos das comunidades.
