The unequal income distribution generated by Mexican exports

This research examines income distribution inequality generated by production aimed at external and internal markets, adopting a structural and spatial perspective. The methodology employs an interregional input–output model enhanced with satellite vectors for labour compensation and surplus alongside regional inequality indicators. The findings highlight the importance of industrial policies that promote productive development and address inequalities. Domestic market production shows greater economic growth potential, as the income it generates is more evenly distributed across federal entities and more favourable to workers. A regional-scope development strategy should aim for balanced growth driven by both domestic and external demand.
