ALVARADO LAGUNAS, Elías. Social perception of extortion in micro-businesses and its regional impact in México. Carta econ. reg. [online]. 2025, vol.38, n.136, pp.93-123.  Epub 05-Fev-2026. ISSN 2683-2852.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cer.v0i136.7931.

The article analyzes the social perception of micro-business extortion in México, high-lighting its impact on regional economic development. Based on 97 081 posts from the digital platform X (formerly Twitter), collected between August 2023 and April 2024, big data and text mining techniques were applied to develop a geospatial index of social perception. The findings show a high perception of extortion in the Central, Western, and Southern regions of the country, with particular emphasis on Colima, Guerrero, Quintana Roo, México City, and Tamaulipas. This analysis highlights how the dynamics of regional insecurity affect local microeconomies and their potential for development, providing a basis for specific strategies of mitigation.
