| description |
This article employs established
techniques from the spatial economics literature to identify
regional patterns of income and growth in Mexico and to
examine how they have changed over the period spanned by
trade liberalization and how they may be linked to the
income divergence observed following liberalization. The
article first shows that divergence has emerged in the form
of several income clusters that only partially correspond to
traditional geographic regions. Next, when regions are
defined by spatial correlation in incomes, a south clearly
exists, but the north seems to be restricted to the states
directly on the United States (U.S.) border and there is no
center region. Overall, the principal dynamic of both the
increased spatial dependency and the increased divergence
lies not on the border but in the sustained underperformance
of the southern states, starting before the North American
free-trade agreement, and to a lesser extent in the superior
performance of an emerging convergence club in the
north-center of the country. |
