Subject The new Mexico City international airport project. Significance While the need for a new airport has been discussed for decades, plans are finally being put into action. In September 2014 President Enrique Pena Nieto announced the construction of a new international airport in Mexico City (NIAMC). The project has been broadly welcomed by political analysts, public figures and the wider public, and is a major undertaking, representing perhaps the most significant infrastructure investment in modern Mexican history. Impacts If the project is implemented well, it will attract investment and significantly boost Mexico City's economy. The airport's construction will generate nearly 160,000 jobs. The design's ambitious environmental standards may provide a model for similar projects elsewhere.

Subject Mexico City airport update. Significance OECD Secretary General Jose Angel Gurria on January 9 presented the organisation's second progress report on the development of Mexico City’s New International Airport (NAICM), which is due to commence operations in 2020. While the OECD acknowledged substantial progress on several of the issues highlighted in its 2016 report, the new assessment provided 17 more recommendations for the Mexico City Airport Group (GACM), the state entity responsible for the project. Impacts AMLO will continue to campaign against the NAICM, despite warnings over the costs of scrapping it at this stage. The project is running on time, but future delays could see costs escalate and political opposition grow. Successful completion of the NAICM will improve Mexico’s airport infrastructure competitiveness.

Significance Significant increases were recorded in numbers of people defined as poor and extremely poor. This is largely due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, but deficiencies in social policies have also played a role. Impacts The ASF’s recent admission of errors in its assessment of the decision to cancel the new Mexico City airport may undermine its credibility. The lack of coordination among federal, state and municipal levels of government will hinder the speed and efficiency of social policies. The modus operandi of several priority social programmes will enable their potential electoral use ahead of the July 6 mid-terms.

<p>The New International Airport in Mexico City is being built on some of poorest ground conditions that exist in Mexico City, or indeed anywhere. The ground is extremely soft, rapidly sinking and exposed to a major and unique seismic site hazard. This paper discusses the performance–based engineering design of the 90 m tall Control Tower. The tower is base isolated to significantly reduce the seismic accelerations which would approach 1.0 g with a fixed-base design. The airport site is predicted to settle by 5 m over the 75-year design life due to regional subsidence. A practical, efficient and elegant solution was developed using a shallow pile-enhanced and compensated raft, and a transfer truss which supports the lightweight braced steel tower on seismic base isolator bearings, allowing the building to be founded on the soft soils while accommodating regional subsidence by moving down with it. The design accommodated seismic joint movements of 1.4 m.</p>

Subject New Mexico City mayor. Significance Mexico City’s Mayor-elect Claudia Sheinbaum on July 7 released a list of 100 actions she intends to undertake during her 2018-24 term, confirming that her administration will concentrate on security and water policies during her first year in the job. Sheinbaum has pledged to work with incumbent Mayor Jose Ramon Amieva before she takes office on December 5, and focus on developing the budget for 2019 during her transition period. Impacts Sheinbaum’s security proposals are not new and will not curb rising crime at least in the short-to-medium term. The new government may struggle to manage expectations regarding water policy; flooding is likely in the summer. The viability of her ambitious transport proposals will be unclear until more details are released about their cost.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present the pollutant gas produced by hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and the quantity of fuel burned from commercial aircraft at Ordu-Giresun International Airport, Turkey during the landing and take-off (LTO) cycles in 2017. Design/methodology/approach The flight data recorded by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority and the aircraft engine emission data from International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Engine Exhaust Emission Databank were used for calculation. The aircraft and engine types used by the airlines for flight at Ordu-Giresun International Airport were determined. To evaluate the effect of taxi time on emission amounts, analysis and evaluations were made by taking different taxi times into consideration. Findings As a result of the emission analysis, the amount of fuel consumed by the aircraft were calculated as 6,551.52 t/y, and the emission amounts for CO, HC and NOx were estimated as 66.81, 4.20 and 79.97 t/y, respectively. Practical implications This study is aimed to reveal the effect and contribution of taxi time on the emitted emission at the airport during the LTO phase of the aircraft. Originality/value This study helps aviation authorities explain the importance of developing procedures that ensure the delivery of aircraft to flights in minimum time by raising awareness of the impact of taxi time on emitted emissions, and contributes to the determination of an aircraft emission inventory at Ordu-Giresun International Airport.

Multiplier Effects

Purpose The authors estimate the multiplier effect of government public infrastructure investment in Spain. This paper aims to use annual data of the 17 Spanish autonomous communities for the 1980–2016 period. Design/methodology/approach The authors use dynamic acyclic graphs and the heterogeneous panel structural vector autoregressive (P-SVAR) method of Pedroni (2013). This method is robust to cross-sectional heterogeneity and dependence, which are present in the data. Findings The findings suggest that an increase in the level of government public infrastructure investment generates a positive and persistent effect on the level of output. Five years after the fiscal expansion, the multiplier effects of government public infrastructure investment reach values above one. This confirms that government public infrastructure investment expansions have Keynesian effects. The authors also find that the multiplier effects differ between autonomous communities with above-average and below-average GDP per capita. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research uses dynamic acyclic graphs and heterogeneous P-SVAR techniques to estimate fiscal multipliers of government public investment in Spain by using subnational data.

History Of

The centuries-old Spanish folk heritage of our Southwest, and its many faceted and enduring influence on the cultural life of the region, has been written about from various rims of observation. This article describes the pioneer studies of Aurelio M. Espinosa on Spanish folklore in the Southwest, with special emphasis on northern New Mexico. Although he made important contributions to the study of Spanish folklore of southern Colorado, Arizona, and California, and to that of Spain, Mexico, and other parts of Spanish America as well, he devoted most of his research and field work to the upper half of New Mexico which is the richest field of Spanish folklore in the Southwest.In viewing the cultural history of New Mexico, Espinosa reminded his readers that its first century as a Spanish colony, the 17th, was the second great century of Spain's Golden Age of arts and letters. With the vigor of Spain's sense of mission in those centuries, her Golden Age radiated to all parts of Spanish America via Mexico City, Lima, and the other principal colonial capitals. At the same time, from the bookshelf and the store of knowledge of the humble missionary, and the folklore of the Spanish settlers, passed down from generation to generation, the spirit of the Golden Age was reflected on the most remote settled frontiers.
