BECERRA-PENA, Diana L.; RODRIGUEZ RUIZ, Javier Gonzalo and GUTIERREZ MORENO, Patricia. ICT and Higher Education in Mexico: A State-Level Productivity Analysis. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.26, e003. Epub Aug 28, 2023. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v13i26.1379.
The purpose of this research was to empirically analyze the total factor productivity changes (TFPC) of information and communication technologies (ICT) use in higher education principal indicators during 2010-2018 in Mexico. Using a panel of 32 states with annual information, the Hicks-Moorsteen index (HMTFP) was estimated under the assumption of variable returns to scale. The results showed an average drop in TFPC ranging from -5.0 9% to 3.29 % when considering the performance of all states. In conclusion, there is an imperative need to strengthen ICT infrastructure and its use in the education sector, especially at the higher education level.
