“…In these cases, its positive indirect effects offset its negative direct ones. On the contrary, in terms of total effects, production is the most important determinant of employment since it has positive and statistically significant effects on all three measures of employment, a finding that is consistent with other evidence previously reported in the literature (De Jesús et al, ; Mejía, Reyes, & Rendón, ; Tavares & Varela, ).…”

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of production and real wages on employment in the manufacturing sector spanning the 32 Mexican states from 2004 to 2017.This analysis is carried out by estimating spatial Durbin panel data models, which can capture heterogeneous performance across states and over time, for the growth rates of total formal manufacturing employment and its two components, permanent and temporary employment. Our results suggest that although the negative direct effects of real wage growth are relevant to the explanation of temporary employment growth, the total effect of production growth can be considered the main determinant of total employment, including both temporary and permanent employment dynamics. The estimated coefficients, however, show a rather small effect. A major policy implication of this is that central and state governments should pursue policies that enhance production growth in order to increase employment in this sector.Reg Sci Policy Pract. 2020;12:303-318.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/rsp3 303 54.2% in 2000, respectively (Loría, 2009). 5 These authors incorporate other explanatory variables in their models like productivity, capital and exports, and consider the differences between specialized and non-specialized work. Regressions, time series techniques and panel data models have been used in these papers. We highlight the roles of production and real wages because we analyze their effects on employment, which is affected by the availability of data.

“…The sign and the magnitude of the effects of real wages (a measure of costs), on the other hand, depend on the specific subsector and sample (e.g. De Jesús, Carbajal, & Valverde, ; Fajnzylber & Maloney, ; Lechuga & Varela, ; López, ; Mejía, Reyes, & Rendón, ; Tavares & Varela, ).…”

“…While various research using parametric or non-parametric models-such as DEA-has been conducted in the Mexican manufacturing industry to measure efficiency, whether by sector or subsector (Tavares Luna and Llamas 2018;Olvera Rebolledo and Suárez 2023;Santibañez et al 2015;Rojas and Gómez 2018;Rojas et al 2016), there are few works in which their input variables are exclusively based on human capital and are carried out particularly for SMEs.…”

The present research aims to analyze the efficiency of human capital in relation to sales in each of the subsectors of economic activity within Mexican small- and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry. To accomplish this, a panel data set covering the years 2009–2020 is utilized. The inputs used are investment in training, salary, and days worked, with sales as the output. Initially, due to the high variability (cv > 1) of both the inputs and the output, the information is divided into three groups by quartiles: Group 1 < 25%, Group 2 = 25–75%, and Group 3 > 75%. As a first step in the analysis, a hypothesis test identifies a significant increase in sales for those subsectors that reported investing in training compared with those that did not. As a result, for the efficiency analysis, SMEs that report not investing in training are removed from the sample. Subsequently, to confirm the statistical explanation of the inputs for the output, a regression analysis is performed. With an input-oriented DEA model, it is found that most subsectors exhibit high overall and pure efficiency (≥0.75) as well as increasing returns to scale. Interestingly, the research introduces a novel approach by proposing subgroups within SMEs, providing a more precise analysis. The findings of this study emphasize the fundamental role of human capital as a key driver of economic growth and innovation within the manufacturing sector. This research also highlights variations in efficiency among different subsectors, underscoring the need for tailored strategies for each. These results offer practical guidance for companies seeking to optimize their operations and contribute to the economic development of a developing country. In conclusion, this paper contributes both theoretically and practically to understanding the interaction between human capital and financial indicators. The results underscore the importance of investing in workforce development, ultimately promoting economic growth, improving productivity, and advancing social progress.

We study the long-term financing choice between syndicated loans and Mexican firms' issuance of public debt. We restrict our attention to those firms that issue securities in capital markets. Our findings suggest that the firm's size, the quality of its collateral, and credit quality play an important role in the outcome of choice. We also find that the marginal effects of these three characteristics are not consistent along their range of values. In particular, we found evidence that the credit quality of firms has a non-monotonic effect in the choice.
