NAVARRO-CHAVEZ, José César; AYVAR-CAMPOS, Francisco Javier  y  GIMENEZ-GARCIA, Víctor Manuel. Generation of social welfare in Mexico: A DEA study from HDI. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.52, pp.591-621. ISSN 2448-6183.

The following document approaches the study of the efficient use of resources to generate social welfare in Mexico, during the period 1990-2010. For this it was used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), taking as a reference the socio-economic indicators of the three dimensions of human development index (HDI). The analysis of results showed that Baja California Sur, Campeche, Colima, Chiapas, Mexico City, State of Mexico, Quintana Roo, Tlaxcala and Zacatecas were more efficient in generating social welfare. Becoming evident that entities which receive more resources are not necessarily those that produce higher social welfare.
