The Center
for Border Economic Studies (CBEST) was established in October, 2001, when the
Economic Development
Administration (EDA) of the United States Department of
Commerce approved a financial assistance award of $1 million to
support "the creation of a community-based public policy studies
center that will focus on sustainable economic development of
the Texas-Mexico border region." |
|
| CBEST is a
public policy research unit dedicated to the study of problems
unique to the U.S./Mexico border economy. Its research efforts
are directed at publishing working papers and technical reports
that encompass a wide array of economic and socio-economic
issues. The Center also publishes a quarterly newsletter, Border
Business Briefs, of economic indicators in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley as well as an annual forecast of these indicators. |
