| Sumario: | This work evaluates the impact of productive specialization on the technical efficiency of the automotive industry in Mexico (1988-2008), using the productionpossibility frontier method on a regional scale and considering its regional localization. To this end, an index of regional specialization in said sector was calculated, in addition to a technical efficiency index for the automotive industry using the stochastic frontier model (Battese and Coelli, 1995). The findings that were obtained suggest that specialization has a positive impact on productive efficiency in the units of analysis, and further, demonstrate that education levels and the localization of automotive plants in the northern and central regions of the country contribute to decreasing levels of productive inefficiency. |
