ALBERT ORTIZ, José M.; GASCA SANCHEZ, Francisco M.  y  FLORES SEGOVIA, Miguel A.. Spatial location patterns of mexican manufacturing: Analysis using the technique of spatial points patterns. Estud. Econ. (México, D.F.) [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.2, pp.253-282. ISSN 0186-7202.

This paper explores the spatial location patterns of firms in different sectors of the Mexican manufacturing industry. The analysis is carried out using a continuous spatial statistic approach by employing a K-function for each sector that is then compared to a Complete Spatial Randomness (CSR) distribution and other relevant benchmarks. We show that Mexican manufacturing follows a bimodal distribution and significant spatial concentrations are present for all manufacturing sectors at different distances. However, using the spatial distribution of the complete set of manufactures as a point of reference, variations in the spatial distribution are also found to exist.
