We use data from 2014 and 2017 reported by 28,034 SMEs in the National Survey on Productivity and Competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Encuesta Nacional sobre Productividad y Competitividad de las Micro, Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas, ENAPROCE) and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The main findings suggest that the Average Technical Efficiency (ATE) of SMEs is 54.6%, SMEs show decreasing returns to scale, and SMEs with highly skilled workers -that transfer their technology less frequently and that use the Internet in their production processes- tend to have higher levels of TE. On the other hand, those firms that spend a higher proportion of their revenues on the process of paying taxes tend to be less efficient than others. 2022 artículo científico 0188-6916 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=59771283003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/597/59771283003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/597/59771283003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/597/59771283003/59771283003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/597/59771283003/movil 10.24201/ee.v37i1.427 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=597 Estudios Económicos application/pdf El Colegio de México, A.C.
