This R&D provides articles on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Signed in December 1992 and going into force in January 1994, NAFTA established a free trade zone between the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Economists have disputed its impact on all three economies, with some arguing that it has bolstered healthy levels of trade and others arguing that it harmed Mexican agriculture and the United States manufacturing sector. NAFTA is celebrating its twentieth year anniversary this year, so extempers can expect to see questions about it in the coming months.
