Objective Objective
The present article examines the impact of “open trade” and “specialization” in Mexican economic growth in the past 20 years
Open trade and growth Open trade and growth
ESAN, Lima-Perú
4
Theory Theory
Trade permits local companies to buy foreign goods, services, inputs, machinery and technology Also ideas management and
- rganization
Open trade eventually allows small countries to increase their exports and to gain access to broader markets
ESAN, Lima-Perú
5
Greater possibilities to benefit from economies of scale and from the international division of labor. Foreign markets leads to larger R&D spending, which accelerates technological change and economic growth.
ESAN, Lima-Perú
6
An open business environment creates more competition in the internal market, increasing the efficiency of local firms compared to when there are restrictions to international trade.
ESAN, Lima-Perú
7
Empirical evidence Empirical evidence
Evidence of the positive relationship between open trade and economic growth (Dollar 1992, Sachs and Warner 1995, Edwards 1992) Gravity models (social, demographic, historical and institutional variables) try to isolate the net impact of open trade from other structural factors (Frankel and Romer, 1999; Dollar and Kraay, 2003).
ESAN, Lima-Perú
8
Dollar and Kraay 2001 estimate that an increase in the volume of business (as % of GDP) by 20 percent results in an increase in the annual growth rate between 0.5 and 1%.
Productive specialization Productive specialization and and growth growth

Theory Theory
Graham Graham
if one country specializes in goods with
increasing returns and the other country in goods with decreasing returns, the world will overall have increased income, but the level of the second country’s income will be diminishing, while the first country’s income will be increasing.
ESAN, Lima-Perú

Prebish (term of trade), Myrdal (“cumulative causations”), Hirschman (upstream and downstream links) Matsuyama (“induced learning”), Sachs & Warner (institutions), Krugman (market imperfections) Reinert (high/low quality goods)
ESAN, Lima-Perú
12
Empirical evidence Empirical evidence IDB: “countries where the exports with intermediate and
high technological content represent 10% of GDP tend to grow between 0.1 and 0.2 percent more than others that -
- ther factors being equal- do not export this type of
goods”
Ros: “for similar initial income and investment rate, the
countries that specialize in manufacturing exports grew from 1960-1990 at a faster rate than exporters of primary products”
ESAN, Lima-Perú
13
Roca y Simabuko: for each percentage point of
primarization growth, per capita consumption fell by 2.6% and real wages and salaries fell by 5.4% and 7.4%, respectively. However, for each additional percentage point in manufacturing, per capita consumption rose by 4.2% and real wages and salaries increased by 10.6% and 15.5%, respectively.

Model Model ln GDPP = a0 + a1 ln OPEN + a2 ln SPEC + e
Where, GDPP GDP per capita OPEN Exports + imports (as % of GDP) SPEC Productive Specialization: Exports of industrial products as % of total exports e Other variables that affect GDP per capita.

Hypothesis Hypothesis
Hypothesis I: a1 > 0. Trade opening positively affects economic growth. Hypothesis II: a2 > 0. Export specialization in industrial activities has a positive impact on economic growth.

Cheap labor Cheap labor
Maquila: Real remunerations and GDP (% change)
% change in remunerations is lower than % change in GDP in all three periods. Labor is gaining less from their contribution to value added.
ESAN, Lima-Perú
33
Other Explanations to Explore
World market saturated products and declining prices Potentially low division of labor and low technological skill formation Low potential to diffuse and disseminate knowledge in other sectors (slope learning curve close to zero)
Conclusions Conclusions
ESAN, Lima-Perú
35
Trade opening is directly related to GDP per capita Manufacturing exports are inversely related to GDP per capita
ESAN, Lima-Perú
36
Mexico’s export-led industrialization successfully adapted to the world market and transformed its productive, business, organizational and technological structure.
ESAN, Lima-Perú
37
It however did not translate into clear macro benefits due to the absence of strong links, little value and weak dissemination forces over the rest of the economy.
ESAN, Lima-Perú
38
Poor internal linkages in the maquila industry, high import propensity and limited generation of VA, among other elements, leads the maquila industry to
- perate as an export enclave.
