Economic polarization of the Hidalgo Territory. An approach from the concept of space

Abstract

When economic science is reflected, space is a fundamental element for its study, and is that it plays a key role in the development of economic activities. Each economy has a spatial dimension and production factors operate through space. Economic operators determine their localization decisions and this can largely determine the development of a region. Using economic indicators at municipal level is a nearly impossible task. INEGI (National Institute of Statistics and Geography) does not offer statistics on municipal GDP in Hidalgo. With calculated estimates and data for all municipalities in Hidalgo, showed the existing polarization among them, the gap between the richest and the poorest municipalities was 330 times.
