In answering this question, you should consider not only why Mexico\u2019s exports to the US have increased, but also
\nwhy China\u2019s exports to the US have decreased. Your analysis must include the following three sections:<\/p>\n
1. Industries: What types of goods are involved? Are there specific industries in Mexico that are exporting
\nmore to the US, and\/or specific industries in China that are exporting less to the US? How does trade
\ntheory (e.g., comparative advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin, etc) help us understand which industries are trading
\nmore\/less with the US?
\n
2. FDI & Monetary Relations: Did foreign direct investment (FDI) or monetary relations play a role in
\nthis shift? For example, did investment spur more trade, and\/or did exchange rates make China\u2019s goods
\nless competitive?
\n
3. Policies & Politics: Were there specific policies, such as tariffs or other trade barriers, that contributed
\nto this shift? Did specific groups lobby the US government for protectionism? Did countries coordinate
\ntheir trade policies through treaties or other international institutions? <\/p>\n

Additional guidelines:
\n
\u2022 This is not an argumentative essay. Rather, this is a descriptive analysis that objectively explains why US
\nimports have shifted from China to Mexico. Your thesis should succinctly summarize the conclusions of
\nyour analysis, but it does not need to make a strong claim.
\u2022 Avoid speculation. Your analysis should be rooted in expert evaluations, reports from government agencies,
\nstatements of public officials, etc. Consult additional sources as needed to support your analysis. Be sure
\nto employ reputable sources. Blogs, substacks, social media, partisan thinktanks, Wikipedia, cable news,
\nrandom websites, and YouTube clips are not acceptable. Policy journals with an international focus\u2014Foreign
\nAffairs, Foreign Policy, or The Washington Quarterly\u2014are excellent resources. Examples of acceptable
\nnewspaper sources include The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial
\nTimes, Los Angeles Times, etc., as well as major newspapers in China or Mexico. Examples of acceptable
\nnewsmagazines include The Economist, Bloomberg, The Atlantic, Mother Jones, Forbes, etc. Consult with
\nyour TA if you have concerns about a particular source. Your paper must incorporate at least two highquality sources beyond the course readings and those listed above. Use of inappropriate or low-quality sources
\nwill lower your grade.
\n
\u2022 Employ the concepts and terminology discussed in the lectures and course readings. This includes, for
\nexample, comparative\/absolute advantage, factor endowments, Heckscher-Ohlin trade theory, protectionism
\n(tariffs and NTBs), Stolper-Samuelson vs. Ricardo-Viner, and so on. Use these concepts to develop your
\nanalysis.
\n
\u2022 All sources must be thoroughly documented, including assigned course readings. Any reference to a source
\nmust be properly cited. See this link for guidance: https:\/\/ossja.ucdavis.edu\/avoiding-plagiarism-m
\nastering-art-scholarship. Be sure to include a separate list of references. (The list of references is
\nnot included in the word count.) Any use of AI-generated content is considered academic misconduct and
\nwarrants referral to Judicial Affairs. All submissions will be filtered through TurnItIn\u2019s plagiarism and AI
\ndetector. <\/p>\n
