%X The main goal of the present paper is to test the hypothesis that the Mexican economic boom of the second half of the 90s ¨Cwhich coincided with a post-Tequila credit crunch crisis¨C can be explained by Mexican firms with access to international financial markets financing their productive investments through international funds. Using a panel of Mexican firms quoted at the NYSE, we show that they neither significantly boosted their productive investments after the Tequila crisis nor relied on external funds.
