摘要

The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the main determinants, in addition to labor productivity, of wages in Mexico’s manufacturing sector from 2003 to 2018. The information from the economic censuses of INEGI is used for this purpose. Additionally, the information has been supplemented with data from the National Commission for the Search of the Ministry of the Interior and data from the demography and society section of INEGI. This study considers the territorial dimension and the impact that the economic characteristics of neighboring municipalities have on local wages due to their geographical proximity. To achieve this objective, spatial econometrics specifications have been used that consider the influence that neighboring municipalities have on local wages. A model is presented where around 5 explanatory variables and 11 control variables at the municipal level are included. The results indicate that there is a positive spatial relationship between wages and labor productivity at the municipal level of 0.28 pp to 0.3 pp., depending on the model and the measure of labor productivity.
