El objetivo del estudio es analizar los determinantes de realizar compras transfronterizas por los mexicanos en el mercado de Estados Unidos; basados en microdatos, en modelos de elección de consumidor y competencia fiscal, se busca probar la hipótesis según la cual el incentivo para que los consumidores crucen la frontera es una función inversa a la distancia.
