La exposición incluye la simulación de tres escenarios, construidos mediante un modelo de vectores autorregresivos, en los que se evalúan los posibles impactos del incremento de costos derivados de las nuevas reglas de origen sobre las variables claves de la industria automotriz (empleo, producción, inversión y divisas). La simulación se complementa con un estudio de la influencia del tratado en los recientes movimientos laborales de la industria. Finalmente, se valoran los potenciales conflictos entre EUA y México resultantes de los cambios experimentados por el sector energético mexicano. La conclusión principal es que el T-MEC puede beneficiar o perjudicar a ambos sectores dependiendo de los escenarios presentados y de la observancia de ciertos capítulos del tratado.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT This paper aims to assess the main consequences of the USMCA provisions on Mexico&#8217;s automotive and energy sectors&#8217; performance. By running an autoregressive vector model, we set three scenarios to measure the potential impacts of higher production costs resulting from the rules of origin on the automotive plants&#8217; critical variables (employment, production, investment, and foreign exchange). The paper also analyzes USMCA&#8217;S influence on labor changes in the Mexican automotive industry to highlight the social content of the rules of origin. Finally, we provide a qualitative study on contentious issues between the U.S. and Mexico stemming from recent changes in the Mexican energy sector. The main conclusion is that USMCA&#8217;S impact on the performance of both sectors depends on the scenarios presented and the degree of compliance with certain treaty chapters.]]></p></abstract>
