SANTANA CASTANEDA, Giovanna. Spatial Variability of Common Death and Economic Characteristics in the State of Mexico. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.54, pp.279-302.  Epub 30-Jul-2020. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v23n54a14.

The purpose of this piece of work is to analyze the spatial variability of some economic indicators previously selected, taking as a dependant variable the general mortality rate in the State of Mexico to locate priority municipalities regarding the different sectors of their economic activities. The method applied was the GWR (Geographically Weighted Regression), which allows the identification of those municipalities in which health and economic inequality among Mexican families needs to be attended. The result exposes how those indicators are related and vary within the territories, finding that there is spatial variability in nine indicators out of the eleven selected, especially the unfavourable conditions are found in rural municipalities located to the southeast of the entity.
