OSORIO-CABALLERO, María Isabel; KOIKE, Sayuri Adriana  e  MULLER DURAN, Nancy. In search of growth in Mexico, what about social convergence?. Prob. Des [online]. 2023, vol.54, n.212, pp.129-154.  Epub 14-Ago-2023. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2023.212.69912.

Inter-state economic and social convergence was analyzed in Mexico’s 32 states during the period 2005-2019. Absolute economic convergence was tested through real income and average real labor income and average hourly real labor income. The variables of life expectancy, survival rate, child survival rate and educational level of workers were used to test for absolute social convergence. In addition, using the spatial dependence technique, Moran’s I, it was found that economic variables related to labor income present a high level of spatial correlation. In contrast, only social variables such as life expectancy and the educational level of workers are spatially correlated.

Palavras-chave : data models; regional convergence; economic and social variables; spatial autocorrelation.
