Trade with Mexico J. Bradford DeLong delong@econ.berkeley.edu http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/ March 2001 Monthly Trade Beween the U.S. and Mexico (Not Seasonally Adjusted) U.S. trade with Mexico has more than tripled over the 1990s. Contrary to what the Ralph Naders and the Ross Perots claimed a decade ago, the expansion of trade with Mexico has not crippled American workers' standards of living. The recent U.S. recession--and the resulting slowdown in trade since mid-2000--has, however, had a serious negative impact on the Mexican economy.
