La ley de Okun en México: una mirada de género, 2000.2-2011.1Keywords: unrestricted vector autoregressive model, generalized impulses, unemployment rate by sex, informality. Abstract: by estimating the first difference okun's model for the mexican economy (2000.2- 2011.1), we empirically found a difference in the product rate of growth arising from unemployment of women and men. this outcome suggests the existence of different productivities by gender. we estimated an unrestricted vector autoregressive model (uvar) with generalized impulses, supported by a linear regression. by so doing we found that economic growth immediately reduces men's unemployment, while women's unemployment reacts more slowly. we did not find crowding-out effects of unemployment by gender, which suggests the existence of complementarities in the mexican labor market.
