“…Valdez (2019) focuses on the spatial externalities of the capital on production and finds that spatial diffusion is related to distance (evidence favoring convergence). In the geographical contiguity, Rodríguez‐Gámez and Cabrera‐Pereyra (2019) investigate the conditions for absolute and conditional convergence during 1999–2014. Poorest municipalities grew more than the rich ones; in addition, the spatial effects lose importance over time.…”

This paper explores the convergence hypothesis of Mexican states with the national level and with one another from 1940 to 2015. Interpreting convergence as catching-up, we also capture other types of regular evolution, namely, invariance of the income gap over time, permanent absence of the gap, and steadily increasing gap (deterministic divergence). As a tool of econometric analysis, we use a novel model that describes convergence by asymptotically decaying trends and covers other types of evolution as particular cases. The results obtained suggest one or other type of regularity to be peculiar to roughly ca. 40% of income gaps both with the national level and between states. However, convergence is observed only in 6% to 15% of cases.Regarding convergence at the national level, an additional analysis by three 50-year subperiod shows that in many cases the type of evolution changes for the same state from one subperiod to another. Analyzing convergence between states, we find that convergence between neighboring states is more frequent than between other states; however, the effect of the neighborhood is not too strong.
