Description
Summary:This article presents a proposal for a simultaneous competitiveness measurement model for the three geographical levels: country, states, and municipalities. For this, a multivariate factor analysis method is used to help identify five factors, seven sub-factors, and thirty variables, which will be used for the measurement and to present the results of an empirical study on eleven entities: the country, the State of Sonora, and nine municipalities, which represent 80% of the population and 80% of their TGP. The results indicate that, in 2010, the municipality of Hermosillo was the most competitive. En este artículo se presenta una propuesta de modelo para medir la competitividad de los tres niveles geográficos simultáneamente: país, estados y municipios; utilizando para ello un método multivariado de análisis factorial que ayuda a identificar a cinco factores, siete subfactores y 30 variables, con las que se miden y presentan los resultados de un estudio empírico sobre once entidades: el país, el Estado de Sonora y nueve municipios que representan el 80% de la población y 80% de su PBT. Los resultados indican que el municipio de Hermosillo fue el más competitivo, en 2010.
