          Abstract

          Abstract: In order to corroborate the long-term effect of increasing temporary labor contract on the unemployment rate of the Mexican formal workers, a cointegration panel model was estimated. The results indicated the existence of panel cointegration of the series considered. They showed that causality goes from the unemployment rate and wages to the labor flexibility index. The estimations exhibited positive coefficients for the labor flexibility variable. It can be concluded that the evidence provided by the estimation of the model suggests that increasing labor flexibility increases the unemployment rate but temporary labor contracts have had negative effects on that rate.

          Resumen: Con el fin de corroborar el efecto de largo plazo de la flexibilidad laboral numérica en la tasa de desempleo de los trabajadores formales de México, esta investigación utiliza la metodología de cointegración de panel. Los resultados mostraron la existencia de cointegración de las series utilizadas e indican que las variables explicativas del modelo causan la tasa de desempleo. La estimación exhibió coeficientes positivos para la variable de flexibilidad laboral numérica; la evidencia de las estimaciones sugiere que el incremento de la flexibilidad laboral numérica ha incrementado la tasa de desempleo, aunque los contratos laborales temporales afectan negativamente a dicha tasa.
