“…Before the 1940s Mexico was an agricultural economy and an exporter of primary goods in which the country was self-sufficient. According to Campos-Vazquez, Flores, and Márquez (2017) by 1910, it was a growing economy. Then the Mexican Revolution hit the economy but had uneven consequences across regions and sectors.…”

Mexico's regional disparities and national economic performance in the 1940-2013 period is measured to test the question of whether regional imbalances expand or contract with the national economy's growth or decline, and also the question of disparities increasing or decreasing depending on the country's stage of development. Given the recurring waves of recession and stagnation in Mexico in recent decades, determining the cyclicality of disparities is of particular interest for regional policy-making. In the long run, regional inequalities exhibit a U-shape. Results also indicate that while the decrease in disparities during the most severe economic downturns during the liberalized period is striking, there is no strong statistical support for the pro-cyclical evolution of regional inequalities.

Recent analysis at the national scale have concluded that there is a strong relationship between skin tones and social mobility in Mexico, where darker skin tones are associated with lower rates of relative upward intergenerational mobility than those observed for lighter skin tones. The present paper shows that this previous estimates are biased upwards as they fail to take into account the effects of regional differences in the distribution of skin tones. We correct for this factor by analyzing a new data set representative at the regional level. Our results suggest that although qualitatively the gap in mobility rates persist, the size of the gaps are smaller than previously reported and vary substantially across Mexican regions. In particular, we find that individuals with light skin tones face higher upward mobility rates and lower downward mobility rates than the rest of the Mexican population.
