“…In addition to these papers and other previous contributions, such as Deichmann et al (2004) and Braun and Cullmann (2008, 2011), there are a few additional works that analyze the spatial effects of agglomeration economies in Mexico Glaeser et al (1992) and Escobar (2016), and they find some association between labor productivity and their spatial lag.…”

Mexico has experienced intense urbanization in recent decades. Although all the metropolitan areas of the country have grown, the size generated by the megalopolis of the Valle de México is especially relevant since it is able to generate more intense agglomeration economies than those of the rest of the urban concentrations. This heterogeneity in the urban structure of the country makes the analysis of the effect of agglomeration economies on productivity for the Mexican case especially interesting. Through a panel model with fixed effects, we studied the effects of agglomeration economies on labor productivity of the manufacturing industry in the metropolitan municipalities of Mexico. We propose an adaptation of the model of Combes (2000) to isolate the effects of localization economies though a specialization index and urbanization economies though an index of economic diversity and occupational density. Our results indicate that specialization and the level of economic diversity clearly contribute to explaining the productivity levels of manufacturers among metropolitan municipalities.

“…Los parámetros de la frontera estocástica y el modelo de ineficiencia técnica se estiman simultáneamente proporcionando el supuesto de distribución apropiado, con datos de corte transversal sobre una muestra de empresas. En años recientes, se identifica una importante cantidad de trabajos donde se aplica el cálculo de la eficiencia, entre otros: Battese y Coelli (1995), Gumbau y Maudos (1996Maudos ( , 2002, Álvarez (2001), Maudos et al (2000), , Álvarez y Becerril (2005), Jayasuriya y Wodon (2007), Paxton (2007), Becerril et al (2007), Braun y Cullmann (2008), Álvarez et al (2008) y Becerril et al (2009a). Todas estas aplicaciones se utilizan en diferentes contextos regionales y, la mayoría, mediante la aplicación del análisis de fronteras estocásticas.…”

El interés por tener una medida de la eficiencia técnica parte de que se acepta la existencia de una brecha entre el supuesto teórico de eficiencia técnica total y la observada en la realidad empírica, por lo que se abre la posibilidad de mejorar el output únicamente optimizando los inputs. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación es obtener un indicador de niveles de eficiencia técnica que permita identificar la posición relativa y la evolución temporal en las entidades federativas de México respecto a su frontera eficiente. En particular, se aproxima la frontera de producción mediante el análisis de fronteras estocásticas planteado por Battese y Coelli. El resultado general permite identificar que se puede ampliar la producción en aproximadamente 20%. Asimismo, se elabora un ranking de eficiencia técnica para las entidades federativas de México.
