What Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias does

Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias (CEEY) is a Mexican civil association (non-profit research institution) founded in 2005 and headquartered at Abasolo 152, Del Carmen, Coyoacán, in Mexico City. The organization is named after Manuel Espinosa Yglesias and is dedicated to studying social mobility in Mexico, alongside adjacent work on the Mexican banking sector and public policy. Its core operations span four activity lines — research (Investigación), dissemination (Divulgación), public action (Acción pública), and private-sector action (Acción privada) — and it produces a portfolio of publications including working documents (Documentos de trabajo), books (Libros), policy and public-policy reports (Informes, Documentos de política pública, Notas de política pública), and banking-sector analyses.

Its principal data instruments are the ESRU-EMOVI social mobility survey, which enables longitudinal tracking of intergenerational mobility in Mexico, and the Semáforo de Movilidad Social, a monitoring product hosted at semaforo.ceey.org.mx that visualizes and tracks social mobility indicators. CEEY additionally maintains a documentation center and an active set of public-engagement channels (press bulletins, presentations, multimedia, and media features). Distribution is purely non-commercial: outputs are made freely available through the website and an email newsletter.

The technology footprint is modest and content-focused: a WordPress-based web platform with multiple parallel WordPress installations (wordpress/, wordpress1/, wordpressnew/, wordpressnew2026/) and associated SQL/TAR backups. CEEY's "customers" are policy makers, government institutions, academics, and civil society stakeholders who use its research to inform public policy and private-sector action on inequality and social mobility; it does not sell products or services and has no disclosed pricing model, funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries.
