Abstract

Purpose: This paper aims to review the efficient use of economic and social resources to generate income and, at the same time, reduce the concentration of wealth in the 32 states of the Mexican Republic during the period 1990-2015. Design/methodology/approach: Data envelopment analysis with the inclusion of a bad output was used to diagnose the efficiency of Mexican entities, and the Malmquist–Luenberger index was applied to understand how this efficiency evolves. Findings: The results clearly show that only 3 of the 32 units studied generated and distributed wealth efficiently, while the other 29 must increase their level of income and its distribution. Originality/value: According to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work that performs a temporal analysis of the efficiency in the generation of Human Development Index using bad outputs and the Malmquist–Luenberger index.

  • Public investment may enhance long-term economic growth and the well-being of citizens specifically in developing regions.

    “Public investment may enhance long-term economic growth (e.g.education, healthcare and technology) and the well-being of citizensspecificallyin developing regions (Ayvar-Campos et al., 2019).”

    From Airports’ public infrastructure and sources of inefficiency (2023) · cites this paper as Ayvar-Campos et al., 2019

    The Analysis and discussion of results says policies promoting investment and education, alongside efficient resource use, would contribute to economic well-being in Mexican states. It does not establish that public investment enhances long-term economic growth, or identify healthcare and technology investment as mechanisms; its focus is Mexico rather than developing regions generally.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
