  • Economic informality on the U.S.‐Mexican border

    Michael J Pisani, Chad Richardson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies2008Cited by: 5References: 6

    In this paper, we review and extend previous work on U.S.‐Mexico border economic informality with a special focus on the South Texas borderlands. Specifically, we offer three conceptual models of economic informality relevant to South Texas: 1) the informal marketplace at the border; 2) the confluence of (in)formality through the possession of different forms of personal documentation including the relationship between earnings and individual doc…

  • A preliminary assessment of Nafta's impact on the Texas border economy

    J Michael PatrickARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies1996References: 2

    The Texas border region with Mexico enjoys a unique geographical position at the center of the NAFTA market. In its first year, 1994, NAFTA gave a boost to already expanding U.S.‐Mexican trade and regional cross‐border commerce, begun in 1986 with Mexico's accession to GATT. The December 1994 peso devaluation slowed substantially the pace of trade and investment between the two countries, having a negative impact on the economy of the Texas borde…

  • Conglomerates in the world economy

    Open AccessMichael S Minor, J Michael Patrick et al.ARTICLECross Cultural Management An…1995

    Although corporate structures in Japan and, to a lesser extent Korea, have been examined in the literature, in most cases the framework is not comparative.

A third foreign conglomerate, the Mexican grupo, has thus far escaped much serious attention by scholars. Attempts to compare the structure of keiretsu, chaebol , and grupo in terms of the othe…

  • Business credit availability in the Rio Grande Valley

    Paul Michael Taube, J Michael PatrickARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies1990References: 1

    A study by Brannon et al. (1987) found that banks along the U.S.-Mexico border exhibited low loan to deposit ratios with the lowest ratios associated with banks located within the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Conservative lending practices were not justified by an unstable foreign deposit base, since Brannon et al. (1987), using survey data, found that the Mexican deposit base was quite stable. Bankers attributed their lending practices to t…

  • Changing land use patterns in the Lower Rio Grande Valley

    Charles J Ellard, J Michael PatrickARTICLEJournal of Borderlands Studies1988

    This article provides a description and analysis of changing land use patterns, urban and agricultural, in the Rio Grande Valley counties of Cameron and Hidalgo in the 1970s. An analysis of the spatial shifts in population and land use is presented on the basis of examining general census and agricultural census data. Even though these independent datasets do not permit a direct presentation of the growing competition for land between urban and a…
