Exportaciones, actividad económica y mercado laboral en México, 2005-2019

In the document two models are estimated, one for the tradable goods sector and another for the non-tradable. The effect of export activity on industrial activity and labor informality is analyzed as proxy variables of both sectors, respectively. The results of the self-regressive model of distributed lags indicate that exports are positively related to industrial activity and negatively to labor informality rates, maintaining a cointegration relationship and identifying temporary shocks in the short term. An increase in exports is essential to reduce the labor informality rate.
