Abstract

En este artículo analizamos el impacto que la Gran Recesión tuvo sobre la desigualdad del ingreso en México. Estudiamos tres diferentes dimensiones del ingreso de los hogares: el ingreso por trabajo asalariado, el ingreso total por trabajo y el ingreso monetario. Encontramos que el impacto negativo de la contracción económica sobre la inequidad del ingreso monetario no se observa para el ingreso por trabajo asalariado. Esta diferencia se explica por la caída en el ingreso por negocios que afectó en mayor proporción a los hogares del decil más alto, que a los hogares en los cuatro deciles más bajos de la distribución. Esta caída desproporcionada, de los ingresos por negocios, redujo ligeramente la desigualdad de los ingresos totales del trabajo. En el nivel regional se observan efectos heterogéneos; algunos de ellos se contraponen a lo observado en promedio, en el nivel nacional. The Effects of the Great Recession on the IncomeDistribution in MexicoABSTRACTIn this paper, we explore the impact of the Great Recession on income inequality in Mexico. We analyze three different dimensions of household income: wages and salaries, earnings, and monetary income. We found that the negative effect of the downturn on household income inequality is mainly observed in monetary income, but not for wages and salaries. This divergence is explained by the significant contraction of business income that disproportionately affected the top 10 percent of households compared to the bottom 40 percent. Business income losses slightly reduced earnings inequality. We also found heterogeneous regional effects, some of them opposed to the national average.
