          Abstract

          El interés por tener una medida de la eficiencia técnica parte de que se acepta la existencia de una brecha entre el supuesto teórico de eficiencia técnica total y la observada en la realidad empírica, por lo que se abre la posibilidad de mejorar el output únicamente optimizando los inputs. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación es obtener un indicador de niveles de eficiencia técnica que permita identificar la posición relativa y la evolución temporal en las entidades federativas de México respecto a su frontera eficiente. En particular, se aproxima la frontera de producción mediante el análisis de fronteras estocásticas planteado por Battese y Coelli. El resultado general permite identificar que se puede ampliar la producción en aproximadamente 20%. Asimismo, se elabora un ranking de eficiencia técnica para las entidades federativas de México.

          The interest in having a measurement of the technical efficiency arises from the acceptance of the existence of a breach in the theoretical asemptions of the total technical efficiency and in the empirical reality, so there is opportunity to improve the output only optimizing the inputs. In this context, the objective of this academic research is to obtain an indicator of levels of technical efficiency that allows learning the relative position and temporary evolution in the federal states of Mexico in respect to its efficient frontier. In particular, the frontier of production is approached by means of the analysis of stochastic frontiers stated by Battese and Coelli. The general result permits indentifying that production might be broadened in circa 20%; likewise, a ranking of technical efficiency for the federal states of Mexico is made.
