The objective of this work is to analyse whether there is a spatial pattern in intergovernmental transfers in Mexico. To achieve the objective, spatial analysis tools such as the global Moran index, the local indicator of spatial association (LISA) and the local Geary indicator are used. To capture the strategic interaction between states, different contiguity matrices are used. The main results are a positive spatial autocorrelation in the transfers received by the states in Mexico. This suggests that allocated intergovernmental transfers have created clusters of states with high level of transfers surrounded by states with the same level of transfers. Likewise, according to the local spatial association indicator (LISA), only 9 states in Mexico are significant for the local analysis.
