Gracias a la obtención de estimadores bayesianos iterativos mostramos que contrariamente a los resultados empíricos estándar las entidades mexicanas no convergen a la misma velocidad. Además, que las distribuciones de las velocidades de convergencia absoluta nos permiten poner en evidencia, en términos de la dinámica del crecimiento, las analogías que pudieran existir entre algunas entidades y la heterogeneidad que pudiera existir entre otras. De este modo podemos agrupar a las entidades en regiones que sean homogéneas en términos de sus respectivas tasas de convergencia.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The aim of this article is to prove the hypothesis of absolute and conditional convergence of private (per capita) income for the 32 states of the Mexican Republic, using the econometric technique of panel data. On the basis of iterative Bayesian estimates we demonstrate that, contrary to the standard empirical results, Mexican states do not converge at the same velocity. Besides, the distribution of the absolute convergence velocity allows us to show, in terms of the dynamics of development, the analogies which may exist among some states and the heterogeneity which may exist among others. Thus, we are able to group those states into homogeneous regions in terms of their respective convergence rates.]]></p></abstract>
