External Shocks and Business Cycle Fluctuations in Mexico : How Important are U.S. Factors? /

This paper examines the relative importance of external shocks as sources of business cycle fluctuations in Mexico, and identifies the dynamic responses of domestic output to foreign disturbances. Using a VAR model with block exogeneity restrictions, it finds that U.S. shocks explain a large share o...
