我们使用实证框架来确定微观经济因素对 1984 年至 1994 年间墨西哥家庭（人均）收入不平等急剧上升的贡献。结果表明，家庭特征回报的变化，特别是教育回报的变化，约占基尼系数增加的一半。农村地区相对于城市地区以及南部地区相对于其他地区的恶化状况占基尼系数增长的另外四分之一。
We use an empirical framework to identify the contributions of microeconomic factors to the sharp rise in household (per capita) income inequality in Mexico between 1984 and 1994. Results indicate that changes in returns to household characteristics, in particular changes in returns to education, are responsible for about half of the increase in the Gini coefficient. The deteriorating conditions in rural areas relative to the urban areas and of the southern region relative to other regions account for another fourth of the increase in the Gini.
