Historically linked by geography, trade, and culture, border areas of the United States and Mexico are becoming even more closely integrated by the elimination of trade and investment barriers under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Greater economic integration raises the question of whether the traditional approach to regional econometric modeling is applicable to border metropolitan areas. This article examines this issue with respect to the El Paso-Ciudad Juárez borderplex by specifying and estimating an econometric model and then simulating it under different currency conditions. Simulation output from the model is also compared and contrasted with extrapolations from a Bayesian vector autoregressive model. Results indicate that the traditional framework provides a viable means for analyzing international border region business trends.

“…Its overall design flexibility has made it an invaluable tool for corporate planning and public policy analysis. In the U.S., these methods have been extensively applied to both regional and metropolitan economies during the past quarter century using quarterly and annual data [Bolton, 1985]. This is especially true in Texas where the comptroller of public accounts maintains an extensive modeling system for the state, its 27 metropolitan areas, and its 254 individual counties [Plaut et al, 1996].…”

“…This list is not meant to be exhaustive but rather illustrative of the types of regional models that have been built. For a survey of regional econometric models, see Bolton (1985), for input-output models, see Richardson (1985) or Rose & Miernyk (1989) and, for computable general equilibrium models, see Shoven & Whalley (1984). 2.…”
