| contents | Trade liberalization and productivity growth: some lesson from the Mexican case Adrian de Leon Arias Ciencias de la Tierra Mexico Economic growth trade liberalization regional and urban economics Applying the most recent methodology for explaining economic growth differences across countries (Barro,1997), education and infrastructure have been considered relevant in explaining productivity growth differences inMexican urban manufacturing (De Leon, 1999). In this article, I evaluated whether there is a significant change in therelevance of these variables under trade liberalization. In particular, I evaluated the hypothesis that trade liberalizationwould promote productivity growth in the northern cities as result of the dynamic effect of trade given thatthese cities are close to the new central market for Mexican manufacturing and the lost of relevance in the previousaccumulated growth factors (Livas y Krugman, 1992 and Hanson, 1994). In contrast to that hypothesis, I observe thaturban manufacturing close to the U.S.A. did not show a better performance than the rest of the cities as expected andthat accumulated growth factors, such as education and infrastructure are still relevant in explaining productivitygrowth across urban manufacturing in Mexico. 2004 artículo científico 0188-4611 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56905405 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=569 Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Investigaciones Geográficas (Mx) (México) Num.54 |
