| Abstract: |
Over the past 10 years, trade between the United States and Mexico has boomed, partly because of the significant reduction in tariffs from NAFTA and the strong growth in the maquiladora industry. Along with the expansion in trade, there has been strong population growth along the northern border of Mexico. Generally, the population in Mexican border cities is significantly larger than in the corresponding U.S. sister cities. Moreover, the South Texas border metros are a short drive from the industrial city of Monterrey, which had a population of 3.8 million in 2000. The large and growing population on the Mexican side of the border represents an important consumer base for retail stores in U.S. border towns.
