Sumario:This article analyzes regional income inequality in Mexico for the period 1990-2004 by utilizing regional income distribution functions, together with some inequality indicators. For the distribution analysis, distinct regions have been established based on different degrees of exposure experienced by the country's federal entities in the face of the Mexican economy's process of opening. In constructing regional income distribution functions of a Gauss-Kernel type, per capita Gross Domestic Product data by federal entity have been used, together with income proportions by population stratum. Inequality is a persistent phenomenon in Mexico's regions. However, some regions that have been more exposed to processes of economic opening show lower levels of inequality. The opposite occurs for the other regions in that same arrangement.
