Pobreza y producción municipal en el Estado de México. Un modelo Durbin de efectos espaciales, 2020

This article analyzes the poverty levels of the municipalities in the State of Mexico and identifies the subsectors with the highest degree of specialization that can contribute to reducing the entity's poverty levels. With municipal statistical information from 2020, a spatial Durbin model (SDM) is estimated to model the determinants of poverty and the existence of spatial neighborhood and spatial diffusion and identify whether the productive specialization of municipalities can be a factor that contributes to the reduction of poverty. The results showed that there is a spatial association of poverty at the municipal level and that economic activity – based on the growth of total gross production and employment – and per capita social spending are spatial diffusion factors that can contribute to the reduction of poverty
