Abstract

The objective of this article is to describe the behavior of the total productivity of the manufacturing factors in the Northern border region of Mexico during the period 1993-2018. The methodological approach is focused on Solow´s Residual and Harberger’s Sunrise/Sunset diagrams to identify the contributions of each of the entities. The main findings of the research indicate significant increases in the sources of growth for the region. In addition, the region’s progress is diversified among the entities, with Nuevo León being the most prominent. It is concluded that the northern border region has become the largest pole of job creation in the country’s manufacturing sector, although it has been limited in terms of total factor productivity. This makes it necessary to develop intraregional policies with specific measures that improve aggregate productivity in each state.
