We consider a model of policy choice in which appropriate policies depend on a country’s own circumstances, but the presence of a successful leader generates an informational externality and results in too little ‘policy experimentation’. Corrupt governments are reined in while honest...

We examine the behavior of output disparities of Mexican regions relative to the richest region, the Capital, during the period 1940-2009, and the dynamics of the output gap series of the U.S.-Mexico border region. Our estimations suggest that whilst other Mexican regions have been catching up...

We study the hypothesis of convergence amongst Mexican regions since 1940 with special interest in the post …-trade liberalization period. A standard time-series convergence test shows that per capita income levels between the capital and the rest … of the regions tend to narrow over time. Using the concept of deterministic and stochastic convergence, we describe the …
