WATKINS, Karen; DIJK, Dick van  y  SPRONK, Jaap. Crisis macroeconómica y desempeño de la empresa individual. La experiencia mexicana. El trimestre econ [online]. 2009, vol.76, n.304, pp.991-1026.  Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-718X.

This paper considers financial, operational, solvency, and performance ratios in order to detect when there were balance sheets’ variations related to the 1994 Mexican currency crisis. Quarterly data for 88 non-financial Mexican companies that survived the crisis are used, and tests for structural change are performed. Results show that generally firms’ balance sheets deteriorated between the fourth quarters of 1993 and 1995. Although in most cases firms’ balance sheets improved after the crisis, the recovery was partial and gradual, and overall this episode was prejudicial even for surviving companies.
