RODRIGUEZ-RUIZ, Javier G.. Digitalization and economic growth in Mexico: an analysis using dynamic panel models (2015-2023). Prob. Des [online]. 2025, vol.56, n.223, pp.29-59.  Epub 10-Abr-2026. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2025.223.70359.

This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between digitalization and economic growth in Mexico by constructing a Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) at the state level from 2015 to 2023. The results suggest that a 1% increase in the DESI boosts total GDP by 0.058%. This effect is double in states with greater economic progress, reaching 0.134%. The results also suggest that greater technological infrastructure, closing the digital divide and developing digital skills are imperative for Mexico to be among the world’s top ten economies. Additionally, these factors influence the reduction of heterogeneous state patterns of digitalization through the implementation of public policies on digital matters.

Palabras llave : panel models; economic growth; digitalization index; digital divide; Mexico.
