El presente trabajo analiza los cambios económicos, algunas transformaciones institucionales
y la evolución de algunos indicadores de bienestar a partir de la alternancia política
en el estado de Baja California. El estudio utiliza el enfoque institucional bajo la hipótesis
de que la alternancia política y las transformaciones institucionales que le siguieron
han sido insuficientes para generar cambios estructurales en los patrones de crecimiento
y desarrollo. A través de la estimación y análisis de las funciones de valor agregado y
la construcción y estudio de indicadores de cambio institucional y de bienestar social, la
investigación encuentra evidencia que favorece la hipótesis de trabajo y pone de manifiesto
importantes implicaciones en el ámbito federal, donde la alternancia política a
partir de 2000 da una nueva cara a la política nacional, que podría analizarse a la luz de la
experiencia bajacaliforniana.
ABSTRACT
This work analyzes economic changes, some institutional transformations, and advancements
in certain indicators of social well-being following the political alternation in the
Mexican state of Baja California. The study uses an institutional approach, under the
supposition that the political alternation and the institutional transformations that followed
it were insufficient to generate structural changes in growth and development
patterns. By evaluating and analyzing value-added functions and constructing and studying
indicators of institutional change and social well-being, the research found evidence
that supports the working hypothesis and reveals important implications for the federal
level, where the political alternation after 2000 puts a new stamp on national politics,
which could be analyzed in light of the Baja California experience.
