Abstract
Purpose:
To address any effect in Mexico´s stock returns due to changes in exchange rate and monetary policy after an economic shock (crisis).

Methodology:
We used a framework based on the Vector Auto-Regression approach. Additionally, the Difference-in-Difference regression approach was employed in order to briefly generalize our results.

Empirical foundation:
The empirical data employed comes from the historical financial information of the selected macroeconomic variables. This information was collected from Thomson-Reuters Data-stream database which was available at the Finance Society of Lund University.

Findings:
We found that the selected exchange rate and monetary policy variables significantly affected Mexico´s stock... (More)
