The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them

Income distribution in Mexico's Northern border states
A high degree of income inequality has been a persistent and troubling feature of the Mexican economy, but the degree of inequality is far from uniform in different regions of Mexico. Given the growth of the maquiladora industry and proximity to the United States, it is reasonable to anticipate that Mexico's northern border states exhibit a different pattern of inequality than other regions in Mexico. Using data from the 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998 an…
Devolution and Recentralization of Welfare Administration: "Implications for "New Federalism
When the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program was created, participating states were made responsible for the administration of the program. States could choose between administering the program themselves or allowing local administration under state supervision. Initially, 32 of the 50 states (64%) opted for the state-supervised, locally-administered structure. By 1990, only 15 states (30%) were operating under state-supervised system…
Voting for president: Elections along the U.S.‐Mexican Border
Historically, political discussions in the United States have been laced with phrases such as “the solid South,” “the Bible belt,” and “the industrial Northeast.” The ongoing use of these and similar phrases implies a widespread recognition that there are regional patterns of political behavior. To date, studies examining regional effects on voting behavior have been confined to state level data and broad regional definitions such as “the South,”…
Income distribution along the United States Border with Mexico: 1970-1990
This article examines income inequality along the U.S. side of the U.S.‐Mexican border region in the context of national trends toward greater income inequality. The focus is on two questions. First, is there a greater or lesser degree of inequality in the border counties than in the border states or the nation? Second, what changes in income distribution have occurred in the border region in recent decades? Data from three U.S. censuses are used…
Nafta and Mexico's current economic crisis: Short-run and long-run perspectives
Policy-makers in both Mexico and the U.S. reacted to the economic crisis which began in Mexico in December, 1994 as if it were a problem of short-run financial liquidity. The argument presented in this article is that Mexico's current crisis has its origins in long-standing, fundamental problems of the Mexican economy. These long-run problems include: massive external debt, a severely skewed income distribution, inadequate job creation, low produ…
Demographic Changes in the El Paso-Juárez-Las Cruces
La región binacional integrada por los municipios de El Paso, Las Cruces y Ciudad Juárez es uno de los mayores centros metropolitanos en la frontera México-Estados Unidos. En este trabajo se examinan los padrones y los componentes de los cambios de población en esta área durante la década de los ochenta con proyecciones de la población por edad y sexo. Asimismo, considerando la migración e índices de fertilidad por grupos étnicos, se presentan pr…
Note on land reform in Bangladesh: The efficacy of ceilings
In this note, new data concerning the agrarian structure of Bangladesh are employed to test the efficacy of ceilings on the size of landholdings as a means of making land available to the landless and the near landless. The data confirm that the numbers of potential claimants for land far exceeds the potential supply, even if ceilings on holdings were lowered from 100 standard bighas (331/3 acres) to 25 standard bighas (81/3 acres
