PEREZ HERNANDEZ, Carla Carolina. Drivers of technological capability in Mexico: The mesoeconomic factors that impulse the techno-scientific products. Contad. Adm [online]. 2020, vol.65, n.1, e158.  Epub 24-Abr-2020. ISSN 0186-1042.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fca.24488410e.2019.2057.

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of technological inputs and the preconditions for development on the results achieved in terms of technological capacity in Mexico (measured by granted patents, publications and high complexity exports). Consequently, a panel data technique was applied with individual and temporal fixed effects, based on the variables proposed by Cepal (2007) & Hausmann & Nedelkoska (2018), and collecting data from various public sources. From the econometric estimation, it is found that: the imports of highly complex products, education investment, international immigration and the number of researchers are drivers of technological capacity that show the greatest impact for impulse the techno-scientific capability of the region.
