Resumen:
The aim of this article is to identify the determinants of production in Guanajuato's manufacturing industry in three divisions: food, autoparts and footwear. The results of the econometric estimates show that the autoparts industry is quite sensitive to external market conditions. The food industry is strongly linked to the domestic market. The footwear industry, since the beginning of this decade has been facing a crisis derived from the rapid growth of imports, and it is expected to maintain this negative trend for the next few years. Favorable conditions in the external market drove the increased growth of autoparts and footwear, but this result assumes that companies are able to respond and to adapt themselves to the new conditions and improve their positioning in the national market -important factors to consider in designing an industrial policy at a state level.
