Relationships Between Economic Growth, Foreign Trade Activity, And Regional Economic Convergence: A Review Of The State Of The Art And The Case Of Mexico

Miguel Ángel Medina Romero

Abstract


The objective of this paper is to report on the main epistemological contributions made by specialists in economic growth, foreign trade activity, and regional economic convergence, associated with the interaction between these conceptual entities, reviewing the main results of such interaction in classical and recent theoretical and empirical research and, finally, contrasted with the historical experience of developing countries such as Mexico. After reviewing the state of the question, it was concluded that both at the theoretical level and in terms of empirical analysis, only progress has been made and there is still an important part of the path to be followed, as evidenced by the evident controversy that the different contributions raise, the cause of which lies in the different methodologies used in the different studies on the topic.


Keywords
