Abstract

El objetivo es descubrir el patrón espacial de la convergencia entre municipios mexicanos (1999-2014). El estudio utiliza la regresión geográficamente ponderada (GWR, por sus siglas en inglés) para investigar dónde ocurre la convergencia económica local y si los municipios se mueven a diferentes velocidades. Los resultados muestran una convergencia no-estacionaria y ofrecen evidencia de un proceso heterogéneo y diferenciado geográficamente. La originalidad de este trabajo radica en la aplicación de un enfoque local para matizar los hallazgos globales y desenmascarar la heterogeneidad del proceso de convergencia; además el estudio proporciona evidencia a escala municipal, la cual pocas veces es provista por los estudios de convergencia, debido a la disponibilidad y oportunidad de la información. Esta limitación debe evaluarse con base en esta nueva evidencia y enfatizar los hallazgos de la dinámica geográfica de la convergencia económica a la luz del diseño de políticas regionales en México.Economic convergence across Mexican municipalities: a local parameters approachThe goal is discovering the spatial pattern of the convergence across Mexican municipalities (1999-2014). The study uses the geographically weighted regression (GWR) to investigate where local economic convergence occurs and if municipalities move at different speeds. The results show us a non-stationarity convergence and provide evidence of a heterogeneous and geographically differentiated process. The originality of this work lies in the application of a local approach to clarify global findings and unmask the heterogeneity of the convergence process; the study also offers evidence at the municipal level, which is rarely provided by convergence studies, due to the availability and timeliness of the information. This limitation should be evaluated based on this new evidence and emphasize the findings of the geographical dynamics of economic convergence, for the design of regional policies in Mexico.
