Abstract

In this paper we analyze the effects of inflation on poverty in Mexico from 1993 to 2009. We also include sector composition of GDP and informal work as determinants of poverty in Mexico. We use two measures for poverty: the percentage population whose household income per capita is below the poverty line, and poverty gap. We estimate a fixed-effects model and obtain the following results: 1) a 10% increase in inflation translates into 13% more poverty and a 17% increase in the poverty gap; 2) there is a positive relation between poverty and informal employment and 3) relative growth of the services sector has contributed to the reduction of poverty. Resumen: En este trabajo se analizan los efectos de la inflación sobre la pobreza en México de 1993 a 2009. Además de la inflación, en este estudio también se incluyen la composición sectorial y el trabajo informal como determinantes de la pobreza en México. Se emplean dos medidas de pobreza: el porcentaje de la población que recibe un ingreso laboral per cápita del hogar por debajo de la línea de pobreza alimentaria y la brecha de pobreza. Se estima un modelo de efectos fijos. Se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: 1) un aumento del 10% en la inflación se traduce en un aumento de 13% en la pobreza y de 17% en la brecha de pobreza, 2) existe una relación positiva entre pobreza y empleo informal y, 3) el crecimiento relativo del sector servicios ha contribuido a la reducción de la pobreza.
