Title: TRADE PATTERN ESTIMATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
Accession Number: 00723844
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) established the largest free trade zone in the world, with a population of more than 360 million people. To evaluate potential investments in intermodal terminals near the U.S.-Mexican border--terminals that will handle the escalation in trade that is likely to result from NAFTA--transportation planners must understand current trade patterns. Unfortunately, most data required to achieve this understanding are considered confidential between the shipper and the government customs agency. However, both the governments of Mexico and the United States do release summaries of these shipment data. This paper presents a method for estimating commodity-based origin-destination matrices based on these summaries.
