Riassunto:The research is a descriptive analysis of economic growth in Mexico (EGM) and the evolution of two variables, which are the number of colleges and universities (NU) and the rate of growth of colleges and universities (GRU).

The model estimates from panel data indicate that a 100% increase in the number of public universities is positively and significantly related with a growth of 38.2% in the GDP per capita in the states of Mexico.
