Distribution of industrial income in Mexico, 2003-2018: structure, dynamics and competitiveness
Keywords:
Gini coefficient, Industrial concentration, Industrial location, Industrial specialization, Industrial restructuringAbstract
The Gini Coefficient (GC) was used to study the distribution of Mexico's industrial income and through the theory of localization, its structure, dynamics and competitiveness during the period 2003 to 2018 were detailed. The distribution of industrial income is influenced by firm size and geographic location. It was found that CG varied between states and firm size (p<0.05), but not between micro-small, medium-large firms and between five-year periods (p > 0.05). In Mexico, industry diversified, with greater specialization in micro firms and broader diversification in large firms. The restructuring and relocation
of companies has facilitated their economic expansion, and the Gini coefficient is expected to continue to improve
