Economic Base Studies

This series of 35 economic base studies was prepared by the Office of Policy Analysis at NMSU's Arrowhead Center. Of the 35 reports, 33 describe the economic base of New Mexico's counties. There are separate reports for the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and the State of New Mexico. New Mexico has three additional MSAs (Las Cruces, Santa Fe and Farmington) but each of these are single county MSAs and separate reports for these MSAs were not prepared.

The reports have been prepared under the direction of Anthony V. Popp and James Peach, Co-Directors of the Office of Policy Analysis and Leo Delgado, Policy Analyst at Arrowhead Center. Graduate students employed by Arrowhead Center who contributed to the reports include: Ilana Boivie, Hector J. Aguirre, and Amanda J. Alaniz.
