El artículo analiza la probabilidad de asociarse entre municipios y cuáles factores actúan como barreras o incentivos. Se utiliza una base de microdatos y, a través de un modelo probabilístico, se determinan las tendencias a asociarse entre municipios. Los resultados muestran que el tamaño de los municipios no resulta relevante; en cambio, sí lo son el nivel de marginación, la existencia de información y asesoría, la localización geográfica y el nivel legislativo del estado en la materia.]]></p></abstract>

The paper discusses the probability of municipalities to associate among them, and which factors act as barriers or incentives. A microdata base is used and, by means of a probabilistic model, the tendency of municipalities to associate is determined. The results show that the municipality size is not relevant.
