| 要約: | The study reviews the different theories that explain the tendencies of FDI at the regional
level in Mexico. The effects of the NAFTA agreement in regional FDI are also analyzed. An
empirical econometric model is used to analyze the relation between the FDI and economic
growth at the regional level in Mexico, with an approach of the new economic geography
and endogenous economic growth. The results show that distance to the Mexico-U.S. Border
is an important variable that explains regional economic growth. The results support the
new economic geography theories. |
