Abstract

 El cambio regional en las manufacturas mexicanas a partir de la década de 1980 se ha caracterizado por el rápido crecimiento del empleo y la producción en la frontera norte del país y la pérdida de participación de ellos en las grandes ciudades. En este artículo se analiza y evalúa este cambio regional en términos de la dinámica de la productividad laboral y factorial total para ambas configuraciones espaciales, presentando cálculos de productividad para éstas de 1970 a 2004, estimados a partir de la información censal. Los resultados sugieren que mientras el empleo ha crecido en magnitud mucho más rápido en la frontera norte, esta dinámica se ha generado con bajos niveles en crecimiento de la productividad, al menos hasta fechas recientes, por lo que el cambio regional estimulado por la apertura comercial hasta 2004 no parece haber facilitado un crecimiento económico más acelerado para México.AbstractRegional economic growth in Mexican manufacturing has been characterized by a faster growth in employment and output in the Northern Border region than in those in Largest Cities since 1980´s. In this article, these spatial dynamics are analyzed and related to their productivity growth. In particular, estimates of regional productivity from 1970 to 2004 are calculated. Results suggest that, until recently, employment grows faster in the Northern Border, but with a lower rate of productivity growth. Therefore, at least until 2004, regional change related to foreign trade liberalization did not seem facilitate faster economic growth for the whole Mexican economy.
