VILLARREAL GONZALEZ, Amado; FLORES SANCHEZ, Saidi Magaly  and  FLORES SEGOVIA, Miguel Alejandro. Patrones de co-localización espacial de la industria aeroespacial en México. Estud. Econ. (México, D.F.) [online]. 2016, vol.31, n.1, pp.169-211. ISSN 0186-7202.

Mexico’s aerospace industry (IA) is considered strategic due to the possibilities offered to national business to be inserted into supply chain; by its productive characteristics involves the development of suppliers by externalities, which requires business co-location. This document applies the Co-location Quotient (CLQ) statistic in five Mexican entities in order to detect spatial co-location patterns in clusters related to the IA. The results indicate its spatial attraction to aerospace business, as well as electronics, machinery and equipment. Additionally, it can be identified differences in regards co-location patters with respect to the productive capacities by entity; this suggests inputs for the design of industrial policy.
