Chapter 7 in The First Export Era Revisited, 2017, pp 233-276 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The chapter provides an overall description of the timing, characteristics, and evolution of Mexico’s export sector and uses the set of analytical parameters established for the entire project in order to assess the contribution of exports to the Mexican economy during the first export era. The analysis highlights some specificities of this case, as the fact that regional expansion and productive diversification enhanced the contribution of an export sector that was smaller relative to other Latin American countries, or the way in which the Mexican revolution affected its performance and contribution to the economy. It also shows the various ways in which export expansion contributed to economic modernization and industrialization.
