Abstract
SummaryUsing a methodology similar to that proposed by Barro & Sala-i-Martin (1995), it is found that, in the period 1990–2006, there was strong convergence among state-level life expectancy series, but a distancing in life expectancy in the Mexican Republic compared with more developed countries, especially during the new millennium. The interior convergence had taken place at the expense of the exterior; that is, not so much as a result of an improvement in living conditions in the poorer states, but more due to the low performance of the richer states. The causes of this situation are explained using the concept of ‘epidemiological transition’.
