Abstract
This work aims at analyzing disparities in the economic growth of the Mexican states under the process of external insertion of Mexico. The compared evolution of GDP per capita is analyzed considering the national average and trying to establish a typology based on different situations and observed tendencies, that allow to group states with similar behaviors. In addition, we try to offer an explanation of the behavioral diversity, identifying some of the main determining factors (human capital, foreign direct investment and border effect, productive structure). Results display the simultaneous coexistence of convergence and divergence processes, showing the diverse influence of some of the main sources of economic growth as well as strong territorial specificities.
