Der Autor behandelt die bundesweite Preisentwicklung auf der Stufe des privaten Verbrauchs zwischen 1985 und 1988, die von einem Höchstmaß an Stabilität geprägt war. Dies war bedingt durch z.T. kräftige Preisrückgänge bei den Importgütern mit entsprechender Auswirkung auf die Preisgestaltung des verarbeitenden Gewerbes. Gleiches gilt für die Preise für landwirtschaftliche Produkte. Abschließend werden die Preise im Bausektor verglichen, und es wird ein Ausblick auf die voraussichtliche Preisentwicklung im Jahre 1989 gegeben. (SH)

AbstractThis study examines Mexico's unilateral trade liberalization experience from 1985 to 1988. It traces the origins of policy change to officials in the Central Bank, who took advantage of periodic economic crises to pursue their agenda. Opposing them were bureaucrats tied to an industrial sector that also objected to substantial trade liberalization. Mexico's institutional structures influenced the balance of bargaining power as reform supporters and opponents bitterly fought to define the scope, depth, and timing of the implementation process. Successful implementation led to the emergence of business interests in favor of free trade—interests that would provide crucial backing for the North American Free Trade Agreement.
