Abstract

Este documento analiza los determinantes de la desigualdad salarial en la manufactura en México. Entre los determinantes consensuados por la literatura económica se encuentran la apertura comercial, el cambio técnico, la oferta de empleo y aspectos institucionales del mercado de trabajo. A partir de un modelo con datos de panel, se busca probar la significancia estadística de estas variables en la determinación de la desigualdad salarial para los 21 subsectores manufactureros en México, en el periodo 2007-2018; para ello, se estima el índice de desigualdad para cada subsector. Los resultados muestran que la apertura comercial, el cambio técnico, la oferta de empleo y la reforma laboral inciden de manera directa sobre la desigualdad salarial. Wage Inequality in Mexico’s Manufacture, 2007-2018This paper analyzes the determinants of wage inequality in Mexico’s manufacture. Among the consensual determinants in the economic literature are trade openness, technical change, labor supply, and institutional aspects of the labor market. Therefore, by means of a panel data model, this work seeks to prove the statistical significance of these variables as determinants of wage inequality in the 21 Mexican manufacturing subsectors in the period 2007-2018. The results show that trade openness, technical change, labor supply, and labor reforms impinge positively on wage inequality.
