In recent decades the importance of the urbanization process and the growing relevance of the services sector inside economies have been the object of analysis from different disciplinary and methodological approaches. Nevertheless, for the case of Nayarit, few have analyzed the behavior and evolution of the productive structure, especially of its services sector. We intend to contribute with this work, analyzing the effect of specialization and productivity of the services sector in the economic growth of the State of Nayarit during the period 1980-2003.
