SORIA-ROMO, Rigoberto. The impact of violence and insecurity on the competitiveness of mexican states. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.54, pp.279-307. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est002017802.

In this paper, we seek to determine the impact of violence and public insecurity on the competitiveness of the states in México. The starting point is the definition of competitiveness given by Imco. Panel data is applied to three models with different dependent variables: gross fixed capital formation, human talent and Imco adjusted index. Information for 2009-2012 is used. The independent variables represent objective insecurity, municipal and state institutional efficiency and confidence in the administration of state justice. We conclude that public insecurity has affected the attraction of investment and human talent and the competitiveness processes in most states.

Keywords : territorial competitiveness; public insecurity; panel data; gross fixed capital formation; human talent.
