Descomposición de la desigualdad salarial en los Estados de la Frontera Norte de México

This paper shows the outlook for skilled and unskilled workers in the States of the Northern Border region of Mexico (fnm) during the period 2005-2014. An exact decomposition of the Gini index using a cooperative game-approach is applied. A reduction in inequality in both groups of workers is explained within the groups with a share of 90%. The States of Coahuila and Sonora contribute with the greatest part to explain inequality for the group of skilled workers; while Nuevo Leon presents the highest wage-gap differences for the unskilled workers.
