Resumen
CARRASCO, Carlos Alberto y TOVAR-GARCIA, Edgar Demetrio. Determinants of Mexico's Bilateral Trade Balance: Income, Exchange Rate, and Export Composition. Finanz. polit. econ. [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.259-276. Epub 27-Abr-2020. ISSN 2248-6046. https://doi.org/10.14718/revfinanzpolitecon.2019.11.2.3.
Using dynamic panel data models, this paper studies the determinants of Mexico's bilateral trade balance with 39 trade partners from 1990 to 2016. The literature points to income and real exchange rate as key independent variables. This study includes export composition as an explanatory variable (a previously neglected aspect). Results differ from other researches: there is no robust evidence on the effect of income; there is evidence of the association between bilateral balance and real exchange rate; and there is a weak positive link with exports consisting of high-tech goods, partially explaining Mexico's persistent trade deficit.
