For this it was used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), taking as a reference the socio-economic indicators of the three dimensions of human development index (HDI). e analysis of results showed that Baja California Sur, Campeche, Colima, Chiapas, Mexico City, State of Mexico, Quintana Roo, Tlaxcala and Zacatecas were more e ffi cient in generating social welfare.
