Abstract
The paper seeks to estimate the effects of wages, agglomeration and transportation costs on the Mexican automobile assembly and vehicle parts subsectors from 1999 to 2014. The methodology is based on spatial lag and error models. The results indicate that the average wage had a negative effect on the employment of the automobile assembly subsector and that agglomeration initially had a positive impact on that subsector. Transportation costs had a positive effect in the automobile assembly subsector during the two thousand. In the vehicle parts subsector, agglomeration within industry and agglomeration among related industries had positive effects during the early decade of the two thousand.
