Will reforms pay off this time? Experts assess Mexico’s prospects
Mexico?s sharp first-quarter slowdown isn?t entirely surprising. While the country has made considerable economic advances in recent years, its growth is closely tied to that of its northern neighbor, and the U.S. economy stalled at year-end. Some Mexico indicators, such as industrial production, have been flat since mid-2012.

The El Paso Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas held a daylong conference, ?U.S.?Mexico Manufacturing: Common Bonds,? in November 2010 to assess the future of U.S.?Mexico trade in manufactured goods following the global recession.

Business cycles and remittances: can the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition provide new evidence?
In this paper, I analyze the business cycle properties of remittances and output series for three pairs of countries: United States-Mexico, United States-El Salvador, and Germany-Turkey. Using an unobserved components state-space model (via the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition), I decompose the remittances and output series into stochastic permanent and cyclical components. I then use the resulting stationary cyclical components to estimate co-movements between remittances and output series. Empirical results indicate that remittances are countercyclical with all the home countries: Mexico, El ...

After joining the World Trade Organization, China made great strides in global manufacturing. But in recent years, manufacturing has shifted back to North America, and in some sectors, Mexico has a clear advantage over China.

Spotlight: El Paso Medical School: New facility kindles hopes for well-paying jobs
El Paso's efforts to move beyond low-wage manufacturing and services jobs will get a boost from next year's opening of a new medical school. Along with other new and expanded health care facilities, the school could serve as a catalyst for bringing well-paying professional jobs to West Texas. ; The Paul L. Foster School of Medicine will be the 10th medical school in Texas and the state's first new one since 1977. Perhaps more important, it will be the first U.S. medical school along the 2,000-mile border with Mexico.
