The maquiladora's changing geography
Gilmer, Robert W.; Cañas, Jesus (2009-04)
A lack of data has limited our understanding of the distribution of maquiladora activity.

Relocation patterns in U.S. manufacturing
Lee, Yoonsoo (2006)
This paper summarizes relocation patterns in the U.S. manufacturing industry over the period 1972-1992, using plant- and firm-level data from the U.S. Census of Manufactures.

Texas Manufacturing Survey offers advance look at state and national economies
Berger, Franklin D. (2010-07)
Business tendency surveys are designed to provide more timely information on economic conditions than otherwise available. Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey variables have broad explanatory power for Texas and national economic indicators. TMOS for a given reference month is available up to a month before other Texas data are available. The survey figures appear to measure what they were intended to measure. Moreover, although TMOS was designed for--and is most useful in--understanding the Texas economy, it can also contribute to explaining national developments.
