In recent years, the labor market in Mexico has become increasingly precarious, as the proportion of the employed population that receives low wages has risen and the critical conditions of occupation have grown exponentially. To enrich the concept of labor precariousness, we aggregated three additional variables. Through a logit model -with data from the Social Mobility Survey in Mexico 2017-we proved that a set of variables that are external to individuals have statistically significant effects on the employment trajectory and social mobility of the employed population. These results empirically validate The Great Gatsby Curve for Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article "Statistical Analysis" presents the dynamics of the editing process of the CIENCIA ergo-sum journal during the period 2020-2021. During this time, the journal consolidated its digital version and improved the response time to authors without compromising the quality of the reviews. Additionally, a significant increase in the number of accepted papers for publication was observed. The journal seeks to attract more collaborations from foreign institutions to consolidate its international status and thanks the referees who participated in the review of the articles. Details are also mentioned about the physical edition of the journal, the editing process, and the publication of special issues, as well as the internationalization index and the use of JCI as a metric for comparing journals.

A luz de la ley de Okun (1983), en su versión de tasas de crecimiento, se evaluó la sensibilidad del desempleo a la actividad económica estatal en México (desde inicios de 2004 hasta el primer semestre de 2018). Para capturar la heterogeneidad de las 32 entidades federativas se contrastaron los resultados de regresiones individuales con la estimación de datos de panel de efectos fijos. El coeficiente de Okun es significativo y con el signo correcto en 22 entidades federativas, con una variación entre -7,21 y -1,25. Las diez entidades restantes (con signo incorrecto y coeficiente no significativo) se caracterizan por deficientes desempeños económicos, sociales e institucionales. Se observa que la gran recesión generó cambios estructurales en 15 de las 22 entidades federativas donde sí se cumple la ley de Okun en todo el período; además, en estas 22 entidades el índice del Estado de derecho y la tasa de condiciones críticas de ocupación determinan la sensibilidad del crecimiento del desempleo al crecimiento del producto.

We argue that the main constraint for the Mexican economy to grow remains inside the structural deficit of the current account as well as in the real exchange rate level. An annual structural econometric model (1970-99) (estimated through weighted two-stage least squares) is estimated to identify the determinants of the four balances that constitute the current account balance. The main objective is to detect only long-run relationships and, consequently, to analyze the sensibility of the overall system to the exchange rate. By doing this, we enforce the introspective features of Thirlwall's Law through what may be called the "extended exchange rate Thirlwall's Law." A detailed analysis of the joint residuals coming out from the structural estimations are performed in order to demonstrate that all the variables involved in the behavioral equations are cointegrated, since they are all "white noise" and normally distributed.
