México, entre los países de la OCDE, es el país que presenta la mayor diferencia de ingresos entre ricos y pobres. Esta situación ha venido acompañada de altos niveles en la percepción de corrupción. El objetivo es demostrar que la corrupción y la desigualdad de ingresos, están correlacionadas, para ello, se emplea el método de ecuaciones simultaneas y se estima mediante Mínimos Cuadrados en Dos Etapas con Componentes en el Error (MC2ECE), alternativamente se emplea el Método Generalizado de Momentos (GMM, por sus siglas en ingles) y sys-GMM, para analizar la sensibilidad de los resultados. Se encuentra evidencia robusta de una relación positiva entre corrupción y desigualdad de ingresos en México en el periodo de 2010-2018.

Mexico, among the OECD countries, is the country with the largest income gap between rich and poor. This situation has been accompanied by high levels of perception of corruption. The objective is to show that corruption and income inequality are correlated, for this, the method of simultaneous equations is used and it is estimated by Two Stages Least Squares with Components in the Error (EC2SLS), alternatively it is using the generalized method of moments (GMM) and sys-GMM, to analyze the sensitivity of the results. There is robust evidence of a positive relationship between corruption and income inequality in Mexico in the period 2010-2018.
