Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the legal framework and regional development in Mexico, evaluating how laws and regulations affect corruption perception, citizen participation, and state economic growth. Significant interactions between these variables were identified through advanced statistical methods, such as Granger causality analysis, VAR and Gradient Boosting models. The findings indicated that a solid legal framework reduces corruption perception and fosters citizen participation. However, its direct influence on economic growth was mediated by structural factors and observed over the long term. Moreover, economic growth appears to have a two-way effect, facilitating the improvement of the legal framework. It is concluded that a robust legal framework is essential for effective governance and sustainable regional development, highlighting the importance of public policies aimed at institutional strengthening and social cohesion.
