Abstract

This article assesses U.S. security policy on U.S.-Mexico land ports of entry, before and after 9/11. It tracks U.S. security policy’s impact over time by using multiple interrupted time-series (mit) and yearly time-series of border activity measures from 1994 to 2009. The results demonstrate that, other things being equal, post-9/11 U.S. security policy changes had marginal effects; in other words, policy responses make no difference when their performance is compared on, before, and after 9/11; thus, U.S.-Mexico economic integration may be a stronger determinant of security at U.S.-Mexico land ports of entry.

后9/11美国国土安全政策的变化和挑战:墨西哥前线的政策影响评估

本文评估了9/11事件前后美国对美墨陆路入境口岸的安全政策。它通过使用多个中断时间序列(mit)和1994年至2009年边境活动的年度时间序列来跟踪美国安全政策随时间的影响。结果表明，在其他条件相同的情况下，9/11后美国安全政策的变化具有边际效应;换句话说，在9/11事件发生前后，政策反应的表现并没有什么不同;因此，美墨经济一体化可能是美墨陆地入境口岸安全的一个更强的决定因素。
