Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic Policy Reform in Mexico: A Case Study for Developing Countries is a five-chapter text about political economy that tries to assess the economic developments in Mexico, especially the attempt at economic reform in the early 1970s. The first chapter examines the period of Stabilizing Development to provide a framework necessary for judging the environment in which the attempts at economic reform were undertaken. This chapter is a piece of applied economics that tries to assess the too frequent attacks against that phase of economic policy. The following three chapters discuss the economic policy objectives of Echeverria's administration, the attempt at tax reform, and the change in the structure and practices of public spending. The final chapter evaluates the experience and draws some inferences about the nature of decision making in economic policy and the constraints faced by a government that wants to use economic policy as an instrument for the promotion of social welfare. This book will prove useful to economists, historians, and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. An analysis of the political economy of Mexico's financial reform. It is organized in three parts. The first part - chapters one to four - develops the framework, both historical and institutional. The first chapter outlines the theoretical discussion on state autonomy and develops a simple analytical framework to study public policy decisions. The subsequent three chapters address three main themes: external dependency of domestic states on international capital, political change under President Carlos Salinas and financial policy in Mexico. The second part presents the analysis of three main institutional changes to the financial system - development banking reform, commercial banking privatisation and autonomy of the central bank. Each specific case study shows how the reforms conformed to the ideas of the dominant consensus on economic policy and how they delivered an inefficient incentive structure. The third part - chapter eight - brings together all the elements to explain Mexico's 1994 financial crisis.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America, finds itself confronted with several internal and external issues. In the prior year, the country experienced a decline of the economic growth. Major reasons are on the one hand, the uncertain future after the presidential election of Donald Trump, as well as the decreasing industrial production of the main trade partner, the USA. In consequence, the oil price fell, and the Mexican currency lost 20% of their value. On the other hand, the domestic market is strongly influenced by misallocation of educational funds, failed reforms, which increased the income inequality and organized crime. This essay will reflect briefly on these topics, to give a short overview of the country`s economic background andthe current situation. Furthermore, certain information about society, history and the political system will be provided to allow the reader a full insight into these connected topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Mexico is viewed as a success story in the management of economic adjustment and structural reform. Inflation is under control, capital and foreign investment are returning, and out growth has increased. Mexico's recovery, however, has been neither smooth nor rapid. In mid-1982, Mexico was in deep economic crisis compounded by an unfavorable international environment. Mexico was saddled with a large foreign debt, world interest rates were high, commercial banks had stopped lending, and the price for oil was dropping. Conditions at home were no better with rampant inflation, increasing capital flight, and chaos in financial and foreign exchange markets. To confront internal imbalances and accommodate adverse external conditions, Mexico adjusted its consumption and output, then sought new ways to foster growth. The crisis and adjustment imposed great hardship and demanded enormous discipline on the part of the government. This was accomplished without serious political or social disruption. In this book, Nora Lustig analyzes Mexico's economic evolution from the outset of the debt crisis in 1982 until the sweeping reforms began to bear fruit in the early 1990s. She explains the causes of the 1982 economic crisis and why it took Mexico "so long" to restore stability and growth. She also explores the question of the social costs of economic crisis and adjustment, and why the process may have been easier for Mexico than other debt-ridden countries. A discussion of the emerging role of the state in Mexico and the country's new outward-oriented development strategy is followed by an analysis of its search for greater economic integration with the United States and Canada.

Download or read book Mexico the Remaking of an Economy written by Nora Lustig and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Mexico is viewed as a success story in the management of economic adjustment and structural reform. Inflation is under control, capital and foreign investment are returning, and output growth has increased. Mexico's recovery, however, has been neither fast nor smooth, and the social costs the country has borne for the past several years have been very large. In 1982, Mexico faced a severe balance-of-payments crisis. Rampant inflation, capital flight, and a collapse of economic activity were the consequences of an overexpansionist fiscal policy and adverse external conditions. For the next five years, the Mexican government struggled to restore stability and growth without success. Falling oil prices and lack of adequate external financing made these goals extremely difficult to achieve. With the implementation of the Economic Solidarity Pact, inflation was finally brought down in 1988. However, fiscal discipline and far-reaching reforms notwithstanding, growth did not follow. To convince investors to put their capital in Mexico required something more. Initiatives such as the reprivatization of the banking system and the pursuit of a free trade agreement with the United States finally produced the observed turnaround starting in 1990. In this book, Nora Lustig tells the story of adjustment and reform in Mexico from the onset of the debt crisis in 1982 through the early 1990s when the sweeping reforms began to bear fruit. The author looks closely at the social costs of adjustment and who bore the greatest share. In addition, she explores the characteristics of the new development strategy and analyzes the motivations and potential consequences of Mexico's search for greatereconomic integration with the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did Mexico pursue a decades-long nationalist policy toward foreign investors? What were the results of that policy? Why did Mexico's leaders shift in the 1980s from nationalism to "Southern Liberalism"? In The Political Economy of Foreign Investment in Mexico, Van R. Whiting, Jr., examines the domestic and international forces that shape the political choices made by one of the Third World's largest and strongest states. Whiting contends that neither dependency nor statism is sufficient to explain foreign investment policy in Mexico. Political preferences and political choices do matter. But domestic and international structural constraints, he argues, bound the choices of policy makers. Globalization of capital and technology, for example, shapes policy options in a way that favors liberalization. In the first half of the book, Whiting examines Mexico's nationalist tradition and the limits of its foreign investment policies. The joint venture policy and the regulatory apparatus put in place in the 1970s did not succeed in replacing the capital, technology, and marketing capabilities of foreign firms. In the second half, he explains how international industrial structure limited national policy and created greater opportunities for liberalization. In his conclusion, Whiting highlights the importance of understanding "constrained choice" for moving beyond positivist explanations in social science. Using extensive fieldwork in Mexico, including more than a hundred interviews with policy makers and business executives, he shows how a powerful global trend toward industrial integration shaped choices and transformed constraints, increasing the importance of access to markets. ThePolitical Economy of Foreign Investment in Mexico will interest not only scholars and students in political science and other social sciences but also professionals in business, law, and public policy who need to understand the shift from nationalism to liberalism in major developing c
Download or read book The Enclave Economy written by Kevin P. Gallagher and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the extent to which foreign investment in Mexico's information technology sector brought economic, social, and environmental benefits to Guadalajara. Foreign investment has been widely perceived as a panacea for developing countries—as a way to reduce poverty and kick-start sustainable modern industries. The Enclave Economy calls this prescription into question, showing that Mexico's post-NAFTA experience of foreign direct investment in its information technology sector, particularly in the Guadalajara region, did not result in the expected benefits. Charting the rise and fall of Mexico's “Silicon Valley,” the authors explore issues that resonate through much of Latin America and the developing world: the social, economic, and environmental effects of market-driven globalization. In the 1990s, Mexico was a poster child for globalization, throwing open its borders to trade and foreign investment, embracing NAFTA, and ending the government's role in strengthening domestic industry. But The Enclave Economy shows that although Mexico was initially successful in attracting multinational corporations, foreign investments waned in the absence of active government support and as China became increasingly competitive. Moreover, the authors find that foreign investment created an “enclave economy” the benefits of which were confined to an international sector not connected to the wider Mexican economy. In fact, foreign investment put many local IT firms out of business and transferred only limited amounts of environmentally sound technology. The authors suggest policies and strategies that will enable Mexico and other developing countries to foster foreign investment for sustainable development in the future.
