Border Region Modeling ProjectThe Border Region Modeling Project compiles the Borderplex Business Barometer, a monthly report that summarizes recent trends in the regional economy. This report contains data and charts for a variety of variables. Each variable is graphed in two ways. The first chart provides a year-over-year comparison and the second shows somewhat longer-term trends over the course of the business cycle. The first set of charts covers the El Paso and Las Cruces economies while the charts that follow illustrate cross-border commercial dynamics and economic conditions in northern Mexico. Because the goal is to provide a snapshot of recent local economic performance, data published at a monthly frequency are primarily employed for the various Barometer diagrams.
