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.
