Factor utilization in Mexico's border industrialization program
Abstract This paper examines the factor proportions characteristics of northern Mexico's rapidly growing border industrialization program, which has been promoted by policies in both the United States and in Mexico. A comparison of border industries with Mexican domestic regional industries suggests that Mexico's foreign-owned border industries (maquiladoras) are more labor intensive than has previously been assumed for such export enclave operations. It is therefore concluded that Mexico's border industrialization conforms to the patterns predicted by industry and product life cycle theory.
