Borderplex Economic Growth: Chicken, Egg, or Scrambled?

Thomas Fullerton (), Angel Molina and Santiago Ibarreche

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Regional debates over which metropoitan economy is the dominant growth pole in multi-city areas can be intense. Such discourse is frequently voiced with regard to economic expansion in the El Paso, Texas, USA - Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico borderplex economy. To date, no empirical analyses have been carried out to address that question. Granger causality tests are applied to various cross-border data to shed light on that question and others regarding the nature of regional growth in this international setting.
