Abstract

This paper attempts to characterize the convergence process among the Mexican state during the period 1970-1995.The proposed methodology uses dynamic panel data models without exogenous regressors,under the stationarity assumption.It is argued that the Breusch-Pagan (1980) LM-test and the F-test for individual effects en the panel, can be used jointly to discriminate between the hypothesis of absolute and conditional convergence.Given that the temporal dimension of the panel is small we use Monte Carlo simulationts to asses the magnitude of the biases of the AR parameter and we correct the estimates using median- unbiased estimation.It is found that the dynamics of quinquennial per capita GDP of the Mexican state during this period is consistent with conditional convergence. Also it is found that the long run growth rates implied by the model are negative, which is consisten with the continuous slow down of the quinquennial growth process observed in the data for this period.// Este trabajo intenta caracterizar el proceso de convergencia entre los estados mexicanos en el periodo de 1970-1995.La metodología propuesta utiliza modelos dinámicos de panel sin regresores exógenos según el supuesto de estacionariedad. Se argumenta que la prueba LM de Breusch-Pagan(1980) y la prueba F por efectos fijos en el panel se pueden utilizar conjuntamente para discriminar entre las hipótesis de convergencia absoluta y condicional.Dada la pequeña dimensión temporal de la muestra se evalúa la magnitud de los sesgos de estimación del parámentro autorregresivo con simulaciones de Monte Carlo y se corrige los sesgos de estimación con el método de estimación mediana-insesgado. Se encuentra que la dinámica del producto por persona quinquenal durante ese periodo es congruente con la convergencia condicional.También se encuentra que las tasas implícitas de crecimiento de largo plazo son negativas, lo cual es congruente con desaceleración continua del crecimiento quinquenal estatal observado durante el periodo.
