Abstract

Resumen:El objetivo de este trabajpes analizar la desigualdad salarial desde una perspectiva espacial. Especificamos un modelo autorregresivo espacial con el salario promedio por municipio como dependiente de sí mismo rezagado espacialmente y otros controles como productividad, escolaridad, y migración. Estimamos una regresión por cuantiles para determinar el efecto espacial del salario en una región sobre los cuartiles de la distribución del salario con datos de los censos de población 2010 y 2020. Los principales hallazgos indican que el territorio es clave para explicar la desigualdad salarial en 2010 pero no en 2020. La productividad incrementó la desigualdad salarial en 2020, y la migración interna ecualiza el salario. Abstract:This work aims to analyze wage inequality from a spatial perspective. We specify a spatial autoregressive model with the average wage per municipality dependent on a spatially lagged variable and other controls like productivity, schooling, and migration. We estimate a quantile regression to determine the spatial effect of wage in a region over quartiles of the wage distribution with data from population censuses in 2010 and 2020. The main findings indicate that territory is critical to explaining wage inequality in 2010 but not 2020. Productivity increased wage inequality in 2020, and internal migration equalizes the wage.
