Abstract

We determine the extent of comovement in employment over the business cycle among the regions of Mexico by analyzing the covariance of the disturbances in regional cycles during the period July 1997-October 2009. Employment refers to the number of workers with permanent contracts affiliated to the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. Trend and cycle decomposition and the variance-covariance matrix of the disturbances in regional cycles are obtained from the estimation —using state space methods— of a structural multivariate model of the employment time series. We find, for most regions, that employment comovement is high and that the variance of regional cycles’ disturbances is largely associated with the fluctuations in national employment. We do not find evidence, however, of a common underlying cycle, which means that employment comovement would arise from the geographical propagation of regional specific shocks.// Determinamos el grado de comovimiento del empleo durante el ciclo económico entre las regiones de México mediante un análisis de la covarianza de las perturbaciones en los ciclos del empleo regional entre julio de 1997 y octubre de 2009. El empleo se mide por el número de trabajadores permanentes asegurados en el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social. La descomposición en tendencia y ciclo y la matriz de varianza-covarianza de las perturbaciones en los ciclos del empleo regional se obtienen de la estimación —por el método de espacio de estados— de un modelo estructural multivariado de las series de empleo. Encontramos que, exceptuando a unas pocas regiones, el comovimiento del empleo es alto y que la varianza de las perturbaciones en los ciclos regionales está asociada mayormente con las fluctuaciones del empleo nacional. Sin embargo, no encontramos pruebas de un ciclo común subyacente, por lo que el comovimiento del empleo tendría su origen en la propagación interregional de choques específicos.
