Abstract

Se analizan cambios en patrones de comercio intra-industrial (CII) de bienes manufacturados entre México y Estados Unidos durante los primeros cinco años del Acuerdo de Libre Comercio. La mayoría de las industrias experimentaron incrementos notables en sus volúmenes de CII. Un examen de los distintos índices de especialización intra-industrial muestran que pocas industrias en México y Estados Unidos se enfrentarán a riesgos marcados en términos de problemas intensos de ajuste. Estas inferencias deben servir para disminuir presiones en contra de mayor integración económica regional en el hemisferio occidental.

Alternate abstract:

This paper examines changes in intra-industry trade (IIT) in manufactured goods between the US and Mexico over the first five years of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Most industries experienced large increases in IIT. An examination of various indexes of intra-industry specialization indicates that few industries in either country are candidates for significant adjustment problems. These findings should lessen opposition to greater regional economic integration in the Western Hemisphere.
