Abstract

FUENTES FLORES, César M.. Cross-border retail trade between Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and El Paso, Texas. Estud. front [online]. 2022, vol.23, e093.  Epub June 20, 2022. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2209093.

The objective of the article is to analyze the impact of cross-border retail trade by estimating spending by sector on both sides of the Ciudad Juárez-El Paso cross-border conurbation. The expenditure estimation was done with the information provided by the cross-border survey of international bridge users, during the period October-December 2019. The results show that expenditures made by residents in Mexico who crossed into the United States were 177.7 million USD and those in the United States who crossed into Mexico 141.2 million, during the last quarter of 2019. Residents in Mexico indicate that their main reasons for crossing are shopping, work and school and U.S. residents to attend family reunions, medical or dental consultation and purchase medicine. Therefore, it is concluded that integration between the two cities is partial.

Keywords : cross-border retail trade; Ciudad Juárez; El Paso; expenditure.
