HERRERA LEDESMA, Pedro Alberto; SANCHEZ LIMON, Mónica Lorena; ESCOBAR ANGULO, Diana Marien e ESPARZA DEL VILLAR, Oscar Armando. The Maquiladora Industry Labor Market in Mexico, an Oligopsony: Effects of the New International Division of Labor. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2019, n.51, pp.45-72. Epub 28-Out-2019. ISSN 2448-7481. https://doi.org/10.24275/etypuam/ne/512019/herrera.
To explore the thesis that the maquiladora industry labor market is oligopsonic in nature, we studied it in three cities along the northern border of Mexico: Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Reynosa, between 2012 and 2016. Evidence of eight symptoms characteristic of an oligopsonic market was obtained. It was concluded that the oligopsonistic nature of the maquiladora labor market is part of the new international division of labor caused by the expansion of capitalism in peripheral countries. Likewise, it is proved by statistically-based empirical means that the presence of labor turnover and an oligopsonistic market are compatible.
