OCEGUEDA HERNANDEZ, Juan Manuel. Divergencias de tasas de crecimiento entre las economías estatales de México, 1993-2010. Región y sociedad [online]. 2015, vol.27, n.64, pp.139-182. ISSN 2448-4849.

This article analyzes the determinants of differences in growth rates between Mexican states during 1993-2010, and proposes an explanation that highlights the role of three factors: the migration phenomenon that reallocated the economically active population among regions; interstate differences in human capital endowments, as well as in the public and foreign investment behavior that influenced the ability of regions to generate high quality jobs; and employment growth in services, which was accompanied by an increase in the share of low productivity activities, especially those related to the household sector.

Keywords : analysis of regional economies; economic growth; demographic trends; public investment; productivity of economic sectors.
