SANCHEZ TOVAR, Yesenia; GARCIA FERNANDEZ, Francisco  y  MENDOZA FLORES, Esteban. Determinantes de la capacidad de innovación regional en México: Una tipología de las regiones. Región y sociedad [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.61, pp.118-158. ISSN 2448-4849.

The aim of this article is to establish a regional typology of innovation capacity in Mexico and its effect on economic growth. The study used 14 indicators to determine capacity for regional innovation, by analyzing its principal components -socio-economic structure, production structure and regional resources devoted to innovation- to identify their dimensions. This study allowed for a cluster analysis that grouped the country's 31 states (and Federal District) into five groups. We obtained a weak positive relationship between innovative effort and economic growth, which can result from the significant differences in innovative behavior between regions in Mexico.

Palabras llave : innovation capacity; Regional Innovation System; factor analysis; cluster; Mexico.
