Abstract: This dissertation is a compilation of three discrete essays. The first two, empirical and with Mexico's economy as their object of study, estimate respectively (1) the effect of foreign ownership on total factor productivity in Mexico's manufacturing sector in the 1990s and (2) the effect of maquiladora manufacturing on various nonincome measures of local standard of living between 1980 and 2000. The third essay is theoretical; it sets up a dynamic game model of an economy and determines its Markovian Nash equilibrium to examine the relationship between inequality and welfare.
