This paper aims to analyze the evolution of the trilateral trade relationship between Mexico, the United States and China, and its main characteristics, from 1993 to 2020, through the application of vector autoregressive (VAR) models at different points in time. More specifically, trade links between these economies have been transformed from a first phase of little significance to a second phase with profound interrelationships since 2001, and finally to a current consolidation stage, despite the current increasingly complex environment.

This paper delves into an analysis of illegality in migration, from a migrant perspective. To do this, established and assimilated historical practices in selected groups of Mexican migrants were analyzed according to immigration status and settlement area. The argument presented here is that illegality has a functional character for the reproduction of the migrant trajectory. This is demonstrated using a comparative analysis of the way migrants' decisions allow them to integrate their trajectories into two contexts which show unequal development. Such integration determines its functionality independently of the existence of restrictive migration policies in nation-state contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Conventional monetary theory confirms Fisher's hypothesis which assumes that the real rate of interest varies only in the short term, while in the long term money is neutral. Using multivariate time-series models, and specifically VAR and VEC, with variables for Mexico and the United States (US) during the period 1994-2006, this paper studies the dynamic short-term relationship by decomposing the variance and response functions to the stimulus, and the long-term equilibrium relationship between these variables. It is shown that during the period of study the Fisher hypothesis is partly confirmed for the Mexican economy but not for the US economy. For its part, Mexican inflation has a strongly inertial component that lasts four months and accounts for nearly 80% of the inflationary changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
