Table 5. Response to Questions Depending on Respondent’s Position in the Firm (Percent) Source: Authors Manquiladora Attitudes How do Mexican environmental laws compare to the U.S. laws? Position Similar Less Restrictive Those that usually deal directly with environmental laws—environmental officers and engineers—are most likely to view the laws as easily understood. Environmental officers and engineers are not as quick to praise the Mexican environmental laws as managers are, since at least a small number of them indicate that the laws are somewhat inadequate. 87 More Restrictive Not Compatible Don’t Know Manager 50.00 0.00 7.14 0.00 42.66 Environmental Officer 76.61 5.80 13.04 1.45 2.90 Engineer 50.00 29.17 20.63 0.00 0.00 Other 47.69 12.31 16.92 4.62 18.48 Position Position Very Appropriate Mexican environmental laws are: Somewhat Somewhat Appropriate Appropriate Inadequate Inadequate Don’t Know Manager 0.00 35.71 21.43 0.00 0.00 42.86 Environmental Officer Mexican environmentlal laws are: Easy to Interpret Somewhat Easy Somewhat Confusing Confusing Manager 7.14 35.71 57.41 0.00 Environmental Officer 36.23 55.07 5.80 2.90 Engineer 2083.00 56.33 20.83 0.00 Other 4.62 43.08 49.23 3.08 18.84 17.39 59.42 1.45 0.00 2.90 Engineer 8.33 25.00 58.33 8.33 0.00 0.00 Other 7.58 36.36 39.39 6.06 0.00 10.61
Improving Transboundary Air Quality with Binational Emission Reduction Credit Trading As is clear in Table 6, neither occupation nor city of residence seemed to affect who is viewed as an obstacle. Regardless, government is blamed while the private sector is viewed as relatively innocent. There is one difference: Managers are less likely to blame government inefficiency but more likely to profess ignorance of the exact cause. The respondents who had the largest concerns about the willingness of the private sector to cooperate in reducing pollution were in Ciudad Juárez. This is interesting. Of the cities surveyed, Ciudad Juárez has the most developed environmental movement. This movement may have generated awareness among the private sector, thereby drawing attention to the need for greater cooperation. Table 6.
