DIAZ-CARRENO, Miguel Ángel; SANCHEZ-LEON, Mayte  and  DIAZ-BUSTAMENTE, Alejandra. Food insecurity in Mexican states: a study on their major determinants. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.51, pp.459-483. ISSN 2448-6183.

This paper presents an analysis of the main explicative factors for the severe food insecurity in Mexican States, in order to do so we decided to estimate a multiple linear regression econometric model. The results show that the problem of severe food inse-curity in the Mexican States in 2012 responds mainly to average schooling variables and the growth of the per capita primary sector production.

Keywords : severe food insecurity; Mexican states; average schooling; per capita primary sector production.
