摘要

本文通过测量城市房地产租金与非熟练工人工资之间的差距,追溯了 1770 年至 1930 年墨西哥城收入不平等的趋势。文章首次提出了墨西哥房地产价值和租金收入的长期序列。其中一个系列总结了唐人街公寓(墨西哥最普遍的大众住房类型)的价格,而另一个系列则依靠报纸广告、公证记录和其他来源来估算房地产价值和租金收益(相对于房地产价值的租金收入)。根据这些工资和租金收入序列,我们计算出租金-工资比率,该比率大致代表了富人与非熟练工人之间的收入差距。我们发现,在 18 世纪末,不平等现象适度加剧,随后在 19 世纪上半叶进入了一个更加平等的时期,而在 19 世纪最后 25 年,不平等现象膨胀并一直持续到 1930 年。虽然不平等现象在 19 世纪 10 年代的叛乱后有所缓解,但在墨西哥革命后仍然居高不下。我们假设,不平等现象对经济增长很敏感,而普遍的暴力并不能普遍缓和不平等现象。

Rent–wage inequality in Mexico City, 1770–1930

This article traces trends of income inequality in Mexico City from 1770 to 1930 by measuring the gaps between urban real estate rents and unskilled wages. The article presents the first long-term series of real estate values and rental income for Mexico. One series summarizes the price of an apartment in tenement housing (the prevalent type of popular housing in Mexico), while the other relies on newspaper ads, notarial records, and other sources to estimate property values and rental yield (rental revenue relative to property values). From these wage and rental income series, we calculate rental–wage ratios that are broadly representative of the income gaps between the wealthy and unskilled workers. We find that, at the end of the eighteenth century, inequality moderately increased, followed by a more egalitarian period in the first half of the nineteenth century, and a ballooning in the last quarter of the nineteenth century that persisted into 1930. While inequality receded after the insurrection in the 1810s, it remained high after the Mexican Revolution. We hypothesize that inequality was sensitive to economic growth, and that generalized violence did not universally temper inequality.
