Manquiladora Attitudes Table 4 presents in<strong>for</strong>mation about respondents’ understanding of emissions trading. An interesting result is that less than one in five have ever heard of emissions trading (15.23%). Because this was anticipated, a brief description of the practice was presented be<strong>for</strong>e proceeding with the subsequent questions. Clearly, a steering committee of some sort would be welcome to establish the guidelines needed to begin transboundary trading. Respondents were asked about whom they felt should be included on the steering committee. A larger number (13.64%) thought the committee should be drawn exclusively from government officials, in contrast to the smaller number (5.11%) that wanted the government excluded from the committee. In addition, nearly a quarter would expect all interested parties to attend, including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The majority (44.32%) wanted the committee to be drawn only from government and private industry. Finally, the majority of respondents were undecided about whether their firm would participate in emissions trading. While not presented in the table, nearly all expressed cost considerations in determining participation. Only slightly more than 7% would be willing to participate without qualification. CROSS-TAB ANALYSIS These results presented in the previous section are themselves interesting, but it is also interesting to see if the position of the respondent, the geographical region, or some other factor influenced the survey responses. Table 5 presents the impact respondents’ positions in the firm had on the answers to questions related to environmental laws. The results seem to indicate that environmental officers are more likely to think there are no differences in U.S. and Mexican environmental laws. This is an interesting finding since these respondents are charged with coordinating environmental policy. 85
