VALDEZ, Rolando I.. Impact of the Geographic Proximity in the Manufacturing Employment Changes in Mexico: Spatial Shift-Share Analysis. Frontera norte [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.59, pp.155-184. ISSN 2594-0260.  https://doi.org/10.17428/rfn.v30i59.1137.

In the present document, the impact of the geographic proximity between the metropolitan areas on the manufacturing employment using the spatial shift-share analysis. The results show that functional inter­metropolitan interactions are weak, showing employment levels below the expected if they would take in account the geographic proximity. An important expansion of the manufacturing employment in the north­center region is highlighted, the opposite of its deceleration in the Valley of Mexico´s metropolitan areas.
