Abstract
In this chapter, the authors want to analyze the regional imbalance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Mexico and its relation with poverty levels for the 32 states that make up the country. The period studied covers from 1994 to 2020, taking as a temporary starting point the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); from the beginning of the 1980s until the beginning of the 1990s, FDI in Mexico maintained a tenuous growth, and from 1994, there was a considerable increase. Currently, developing countries, including Mexico, have positioned themselves as receiving entities of large flows of FDI. The research is based on an econometric scrutiny under the panel data methodology, which allows the authors to conclude that poverty is a factor that hinders a symmetrical distribution of FDI throughout the Mexican territory.
