Descripción
Sumario:Regional development in contemporary economy rests, to a large extent, on investment by multinational companies and the growth of advanced services. This article describes the specific trajectories of three Mexican states that make up the El Bajío region, and that share an industrialization model based on FDI. Using structural indicators of development, the similarities and differences between Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, and Querétaro, are shown and compared. The exercise concludes that Guanajuato and Querétaro are similar in terms of the diversification of their manufacturing sector and the level of development of their tertiary sector, whereas Aguascalientes has a less developed tertiary sector and a more concentrated manufacturing sector. The relative importance of automotive FDI plays a role in the specificity of the regional paths to structural change.
