Download or read book Exports and Local Development written by Patricia A. Wilson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico's export assembly industry has been the object of an intensely polarized debate. While some observers laud the maquiladora industry as a source of much-needed employment and foreign exchange for Mexico, others berate it as a vehicle for exploitation and pollution. Exports and Local Development attempts to transcend the dichotomy by taking a practical look at how this export industry could be better utilized to promote local development. Using data gathered from a field survey of more than seventy maquiladora plants, Patricia A. Wilson compares the Mexican industry with its more successful Asian counterparts to determine how policy initiatives might help Mexico use local linkages to tap the potential of both local and foreign-owned assembly plants. The study grounds its analysis of the maquiladora industry in leading-edge issues including the rise of free trade, changing corporate sourcing strategies, the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing, the Japanese challenge, the spread of flexible technology and management methods, the impacts of export-led development strategies, the importance of business networking, and the role of small business. It will be of interest to a wide audience in international business, economic development planning, public policy, and economic geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this book focuses upon the phenomenon of export-led industrialisation fuelled by foreign investment and technology. He concentrates on Mexico, where US companies have been taking advantage of inexpensive labour to establish "maquila" factories that assemble US parts for export. Through this detailed study of the maquila industry, Sklair charts the progress from the political imperialism of colonial days to the economic imperialism of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maquiladora program, composed of assembly plants located in Mexico, is the result of special provisions in both Mexican and American law. This program plays a central role in a new development program, chosen by the Mexican government, based on an outward-oriented development strategy and liberalization of the economy. The broad objectives of this program are to provide sources of employment (particularly in the border zone), to generate foreign exchange, and to create linkages between the maquiladora industry and the rest of the Mexican economy. Maquiladoras have been the center of a great deal of controversy in both countries since their 1965 inception. This controversy is centered mainly on benefits and costs on these countries. Particularly in the case of Mexico, there is no unique answer to the question: is the maquiladora program an adequate development strategy? This study focuses on an empirical assessment of the maquiladora program. Estimation of impacts on value of output, income, and employment within the Mexican economy is the major contribution of this research. General multipliers for the Mexican economy are estimated and the role of the Maquiladoras is discussed. Additionally, two simulations are addressed: (1) increased maquiladora purchases within Mexico and (2) earnings leakage to the United States. The methodology used to address the objectives of this study is an interindustry (input-output) model for the Mexican economy that accounted for the maquiladora linkages with the economy. An input-output model was developed for the Mexican economy. To account the economic impacts of the maquiladora program the model includes 29 sectors. Twelve of these represent the economic activity of maquiladora industries. The results indicate that maquiladoras have relatively low output multipliers. About 33% of their total value of output resulted from secondary effects with other linked sectors in the Mexican economy. Of this, indirect output generated through maquiladora's input purchases was 7% and induced output generated through maquiladora workers purchases of goods and services was 26%. Maquiladoras also have relatively low impacts on the Mexican households income because of relatively low domestic input purchases. On average, maquiladora sectors are more capital intensive than the rest of the Mexican economy. This and their weak backward linkages resulted in relatively low employment impacts. Maquiladora workers spendings impacts were about 2.6 times larger than maquiladora input purchases impacts ...

Book excerpt: This pioneering volume presents an in-depth examination of the maquiladora phenomenon written by experts on the subject. The contributors focus on three vital dimensions of the maquiladora issue: the impact of the maquilas on workers and economic development in both the U.S. and Mexico; the success or failure of the maquilas on an industry by industry basis; and the strategic aspects of the maquiladora program from geopoltical and macroeconomic perspectives. The controversial aspects of the maquilas--their impact on local pollution, unemployment and labor market exploitation--also receive extended coverage.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foreign export-processing industry is a global phenomenon, with factories known as maquiladoras in Mexico and Central America. While maquiladoras have gone through second- and third-generation production models, with corresponding research literature from business perspectives, the social analyses of these models and 'Mature Maquilization's' effects on health, the environment, infrastructure, and gender inequalities have not yet been adequately addressed. Kathryn Kopinak's fine edited collection is a long-overdue, welcome addition to this gap in the literature. Drawing together a distinguished and committed group of scholars from North America, The Social Costs of Industrial Growth in Mexico provides careful and methodical knowledge on extensive third-generation social costs, with few benefits for workers' abilities to live healthy lives in which they enjoy fruits of their hard labor.
