    El presente estudio analiza la relación entre las emisiones de dióxido de carbono, la actividad económica y la población estatal en México, utilizando un modelo eco-nométrico espacial. Se emplearon datos oficiales del año 2022, integrando variables económicas, demográficas y espaciales. Los resultados destacan que el Producto Interno Bruto Estatal y la población tienen un impacto positivo y significativo en las emisiones. Además, se identificaron patrones espaciales relevantes, donde las emi-siones de una entidad están influenciadas por las de sus vecinas. Este enfoque per-mite entender la interdependencia regional en la generación de emisiones y propone estrategias para diseñar políticas ambientales más efectivas. Se concluye que las políticas de mitigación deben considerar tanto las dinámicas económicas como las interacciones espaciales para maximizar su efectividad.DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.12795/rea.2025.i50.07Formato de cita / Citation:Herrera-Ríos, A.Y.

    The present study uses a spatial econometric model to analyze the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, economic activity, and the state population in Mexico. Official data from 2022 were used, integrating financial, demographic and spatial variables. The results highlight that the Gross State Domestic Product and the population positively and significantly impact emissions. In addition, relevant spatial patterns were identified, highlighting the need to consider economic, demographic, and spatial factors in formulating public policies. This approach allows us to understand the regional interdependence in generating emissions and proposes strategies to design more effective environmental policies. It is concluded that mitigation policies must consider both economic dynamics and spatial interactions to maximize their effectiveness
