Unlike the imputation method proposed by Davies et al. (2006 and 2010), we propose an observed data approach based on micro data. In a attempt to overcome the lack of data, both approaches have points of criticism, and its results should be taken with extreme caution. It is a welcomed statistical coincidence that, in 2000, wealth Gini figure estimated by Davies et al. (2006) and the one derived from the vehicles proposed here are almost equal. It suffices to say that, statistically speaking, we live in an almost perfectly unequal world, of which Mexico is a clear example.]]></p></abstract>

En contraste con el método de imputación propuesto por Davies et al. (2006 y 2010), nosotros desarrollamos un enfoque basado en micro datos. En un intento por superar la falta de datos, ambos ejercicios son blancos de críticas, y por tanto sus resultados tienen que tomarse con mucha cautela. Consideramos una coincidencia estadística bienvenida que para el año 2000 el Gini reportado por Davies et al. (2006) y el estimado aquí basado en el número de vehículos sean casi iguales. Por el momento basta decir que, estadísticamente hablando, vivimos en un mundo casi perfectamente desigual, teniendo a México como un claro ejemplo.]]></p></abstract>
