El presente documento evalúa la importancia que tiene la infraestructura física económica en el crecimiento de los municipios de la frontera norte. Dentro de la literatura del crecimiento, la infraestructura, además de otros factores, ha sido señalada como un elemento determinante en las perspectivas de largo plazo al respecto del ritmo al cual crecen las regiones. Sin embargo, en este contexto temático aún son escasas las aportaciones que remiten a estudios en donde la unidad de análisis se desagrega hasta el nivel del municipio, que en el caso de la frontera norte de México constituye un escenario económico de mucha relevancia dado el modelo de desarrollo adoptado por la economía nacional en las últimas décadas. Los resultados de los modelos empíricos nos indican que los municipios fronterizos de Piedras Negras, Nogales y Torreón mantienen una relación positiva entre su crecimiento y la dotación física de infraestructura. En el caso de otros municipios como Tijuana, su elevado crecimiento poblacional inhibe la adecuada provisión de infraestructura, aunque se mantiene el efecto positivo que la infraestructura induce sobre el crecimiento.
