Abstract: OECD regions have been converging and the process has been driven by lagging, yet dynamic regions. Despite robust growth in lagging regions has not been enough to reduce disparities there is a process of catching-up. It is important to identify the policies that have led to such dynamism in order to spur growth in underperforming regions. Yucatán is among the 10 fastest growing regions in the OECD, but is also a lagging region even in the Mexican context. In contrast to the trend in OECD countries, Mexico has experienced a process of regional divergence fuelled by human capital upgrading.
