MIGRACIÓN INTERNA MEXICANA DE 1990-2010: UN ENFOQUE DESDE LA NUEVA GEOGRAFÍA ECONÓMICA

Resumen

This research is focused on explaining the drivers behind individual decisions to migrate internally in Mexico. Migration essentially arises in response to the per capita income disparities between regions; as such, these flows are directly related to the production geography in Mexico. In that sense, the New Economic Geography provides that the forces of agglomeration have a geographic impact on migration due to the economic influence of wages and employment levels, derived from the concentration of economic activity in just a few regions.
