MILLAN-VALENZUELA, Henio  y  GARCIA-PEREZ, Martha Paola. Institutions and municipal development: a multilevel analysis. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.53, pp.63-86. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est002017718.

The importance of institutions has been an answer to the search of deep causes of development, beyond economic factors traditionally invoked. To prove the superiority of those variables over the later ones, seven multilevel models applied to Mexican municipalities are developed. It is concluded that democratization, criminal justice and government system, and innovation institutions surpass labor productivity, investment, and technical progress, when explaining the differences on municipal levels of development.

Palabras llave : institutions; development; municipal; multilevel.
