Mexico Country Outlook
Our Report for 2024
The 2024 Mexico Country Outlook report analyzes key policy issues ahead of the June 2024 elections, which could be a critical inflection point for democracy in the country. In addition to all 628 seats in Mexico’s legislature, voters will elect a new president — with ruling party candidate Claudia Sheinbaum, a former mayor of Mexico City, and opposition rival Xóchitl Gálvez, a former senator, heading the race. With Sheinbaum’s candidacy, the legacy of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will loom large on the ballot.
Our report for 2024 considers various electoral scenarios, assessing their likelihood and potential implications for governance, the economy, public safety, and more. Our experts also review prospects for industry and foreign investment in Mexico, predicting that high levels of violence, weak infrastructure, and an uncertain political and regulatory environment will pose significant challenges despite promising nearshoring opportunities and incentives.
We forecast that migration and organized crime will continue to be major points of tension for U.S.-Mexico relations, particularly ahead of the elections on both sides of the border.

Our Mission
From the campus of Rice University, the Baker Institute has established itself as a world-class policy research organization, raising a unique voice in the most critical debates facing Texas, the U.S., and the world.
Our mission is to:
- Conduct rigorous, data-driven research on critical foreign and domestic issues.
- Provide timely, nonpartisan analysis on critical issues facing the world.
- Convene productive discourse among public and private sector leaders.
- Train the next generation of policy researchers and leaders.
Our independent perspective has allowed the Baker Institute to distinguish itself among peer organizations and rise to the top of the global rankings among university-affiliated think tanks.
The strong reputation of the Baker Institute is a testament to the vision of Secretary James A. Baker, III, and the leadership of founding director Ambassador Edward P. Djerejian. In this 30th year of the institute, we are ideally positioned to build upon our impressive foundation of excellence.
Our People
The Baker Institute is home to more than 170 researchers and affiliated experts from academia, the private sector, and government.
The range of interdisciplinary expertise provided by our experts contributes to the institute’s dynamic research agenda, which includes economics and finance; energy and sustainability; health, science, and technology; presidential elections; trade and border security and more. Our research agenda evolves as our knowledge deepens and global challenges unfold.
Baker Institute fellows and scholars serve as interpreters within their areas of expertise. Our experts are in high demand as thought leaders, advisors, spokespeople, and expert witnesses. In 2023, Baker Institute experts earned more than 35,000 media citations in the most trusted media outlets across the globe.
Our Principles
Engage in rigorous, interdisciplinary research: At the core of the institute’s work is a commitment to rigorous, data-driven research. Every endeavor is underpinned by a systematic and evidence-based approach, emphasizing the importance of credible sources to draw meaningful conclusions. Our methodology not only ensures the integrity of the institute’s findings but also cultivates a culture of precision and excellence.
Provide an independent perspective: Based in Houston, Texas — itself a hub of diversity, innovation, and influence — the institute has unparalleled access to industries and issues that are shaping today’s foreign and domestic public policy. With our proximity to the largest energy and medical centers globally, as well as the U.S.-Mexico border, the Baker Institute provides the ideal locale for public and private sector engagement in policy discourse.
Remain resolutely nonpartisan: In an increasingly polarized democratic society, the Baker Institute’s commitment to nonpartisan, open dialogue is more important than ever. From Houston, the most diverse city in America, and away from the beltway of D.C., the institute provides a unique, independent perspective.
Innovate with digital-first communications: The Baker Institute takes a nimble, digital-first approach to communications to stay current with the rapidly evolving policy landscape. In 2023, the institute embarked on a transformative, multiplatform rebranding initiative to foster a more unified, audience-centered visual identity. The results allow us to leverage digital platforms to disseminate and translate our work to stakeholders around the world.
Maintain timely and relevant perspective: As geopolitical events unfold, our experts provide context and unbiased insights to help shape public understanding. In 2023, the Baker Institute launched the Baker Briefing podcast — a platform for our experts to offer rapid-response commentary and foster informed discussions. We are committed to remaining nimble to promote a deeper comprehension of the most critical issues of the day.
Foster civic leadership: Students are crucial contributors to the Baker Institute’s work. This year, more than 50 students served as interns and research assistants. Through their engagement with the institute, they gain critical skills in research, policymaking, and communications — the kinds of opportunities that are key for cultivating the next generation of informed citizens and policy leaders.
Productive Discourse
Core to our mission is convening productive discourse. The Baker Institute provides a politically neutral space for dialogue, debate, and discussion. In 2023, we held more than 100 events at the Institute, including keynote lectures, panel discussions, conferences, and workshops. Our programming brought together thought leaders in industry, government, and academia to explore issues of urgency facing Texas, the U.S., and the world. The institute’s events offer an important forum for education, engagement, and translating ideas into action.
The majority of Baker Institute events are free and open to the public in Houston, Texas, and beyond. Our programming is also live streamed to attendees around the world.
A Year of Impact: Raising a Meaningful Voice
1) Providing Leadership During the Israel-Hamas War
On Oct. 15, President Biden appointed Ambassador David M. Satterfield, director of the Baker Institute, as Special Envoy for Middle East Humanitarian Issues. He has since led U.S. diplomatic efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza in coordination with the United Nations and U.S. partners. Meanwhile, Baker Institute fellows and scholars provided real-time expert analysis of the conflict, helping the world comprehend the war as it unfolded.
2) Advancing Global Energy Transitions
The global interconnectedness of energy markets has a great impact on the pace and scale of regional energy transitions; legacy, scale, technology, and the principle of comparative advantage are critical for the future of energy. Our research and commentary on energy transitions in 2023 explored these complexities — noting how policy and economics influence investment and trade, and seed risks and opportunities for companies and governments alike as they navigate an evolving energy landscape.
In 2023, our research argued that carbon, with the appropriate technological innovations in materials and chemistry, could move from being perceived of as a global liability to a highly valued resource that could propel energy innovations in hydrogen. We asked critical questions about the intersection of new energy resources, waste and environmental sustainability. We continued to examine developments across ERCOT, and set forth a compelling argument that Texas is ideally positioned to play a leading role in driving U.S. hydrogen market development. We analyzed multiple facets of U.S. natural gas and liquified natural gas (LNG) exports. We analyzed the deep intersections of energy markets and geopolitics on a regional and global level, and we expanded on a more comprehensive, systems-level approach to sustainability.
3) Understanding Geopolitics and Energy Security
In the past year, as international events unfolded, energy security and geopolitics remained at the forefront. Amid the global flashpoints of the past year — the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas war — as well as intensifying discourse around energy access and greenhouse gas emissions, energy security remained a topic of great interest.
Our experts highlighted the importance of U.S LNG exports for European gas market balance as the Russia-Ukraine war continues. We raised the implications of highly concentrated supply chains for minerals and materials critical for energy, and explored energy developments in Latin America. As the conflict in Gaza unfolded, we asked important questions about the region’s volatility creates geopolitical risk that could dissuade investment — and the resulting consequences for energy markets.
Our work also monitored the global climate policy schism between wealthy, developed nations and the poorer and energy-hungry developing world, the so-called “North-South” divide that carries substantial implications for global trade and energy security.
4) Achieving Global Sustainability
Achieving sustainability across the energy and resource landscape requires a systems-level approach. In 2023, our experts responded to trends in the public and private sector by arguing for a multifaceted framework for sustainability. “Achieving sustainability, in its truest form, requires a systems-level approach that considers a wide array of environmental, social, and economic factors and assesses how they interact,” Rachel A. Meidl and Kenneth B. Medlock III argue.
A broad set of interdisciplinary work illustrates how the institute activated this framework during 2023. Experts published extensive research on the Texas grid, and how policymaker action and infrastructure improvements must coalesce in order to achieve stability. We provided a new framework for the United Nations to advance its development goals. And we tackled vexing questions in the global conversation on sustainability, such as whether carbon should be considered a global liability or a valuable resource.
5) Understanding the US-Mexico Relationship
Our experts study all aspects of the U.S.-Mexico binational relationship — including economic, social, cultural, security, political, diplomatic and cross-border issues. In 2023, our research focused on understanding the public policy challenges and opportunities for nearshoring, launching a three-year project with a workshop focused on energy and electricity. We concluded a project on trade in North America with an edited volume exploring the USMCA, China, and World Trade Organization. And our annual flagship report, Mexico Country Outlook, explored critical issues facing Mexico.
Our work also looked ahead to Mexico’s presidential elections in 2024, wrapping up a project with El Colegio de Mexico focused on Mexico’s democracy. Our “Mexico 2025 and Beyond” series included a lecture by Supreme Court Justice Alfredo Gutierrez Ortiz Mena and a virtual series, “Zoom in on Mexico’s Elections,” featured guest speakers from academia and government. We also published works on Mexico’s democratic stability and political newcomer Xóchitl Gálvez. The institute continued to highlight our research on immigration and the U.S. labor market with publications focused on TN visas, policy and advocacy, amnesty, and immigration reform.
The center also celebrated its 10th anniversary with a dinner and conversation with His Excellency Esteban Moctezuma Barragán, ambassador of Mexico to the U.S. (pictured).
6) Nonpartisan Perspectives on US Elections
As the U.S. prepares for the 2024 presidential election, the institute convened a number of conversations on critical issues facing U.S. democracy. Indeed, the nation continues to adjust to the changed dynamics and public discourse around elections in the United States. Our experts provided commentary, locally and nationally, on political dynamics in Texas and across the country. Our trusted, nonpartisan perspective allowed stakeholders of all political parties and groups to better understand the changing dynamics of democracy in America.
7) Curbing the Overdose Epidemic
The overdose epidemic in the U.S. has forced a reckoning with the nation’s drug strategy. At the state, federal, and local levels, policymakers are grappling with the challenges of reducing the death, disease, crime, and suffering associated with drug use. In 2023, we advanced pragmatic, fact-based solutions as policymakers at all levels of government entertained drug-related policies. Our experts provided insight on new federal initiatives, including President Biden’s federal initiative to curb the growing use of xylazine-laced fentanyl and rule changes proposed by the Drug Enforcement Administration. In Texas, we sought to advance meaningful policy changes by advancing fact-based solutions. Through research and bipartisan government engagement, our experts have provided much-needed facts and analysis to the national debate.
8) Preventing Firearm Injury Among Children
Firearm injury is the number one cause of death among children in the United States. Our research in firearm injury prevention considers the public health implications of firearm injury and the medical community response. In 2023, our research focused on advancing practical and politically viable policy solutions to promote community safety, such as waiting periods and safety courses. On June 2, the institute held its second annual Firearm Injury Prevention and Safety (FIPS) symposium. Our experts also elevated options for advancing injury prevention through other means, such as modifying the Consumer Product Safety Act.
9) Combating Scientific Misinformation
In 2023, our “Vaccines Cause Adults” public information campaign brought together students, scientists, and policymakers to better understand research-driven, factual information about vaccines. The initiative sought to translate scientific research into clear and accessible resources for lawmakers. Our work also focused on genomic monitoring, weighing the pros and cons of federal agencies tracking wastewater to advance public health. Finally, we sought to understand how federal agencies can create incentives for universities to prioritize research innovation.
10) Boosting Brain and Mental Health
Brain health is an established policy concept on the global stage and it is quickly gaining traction and support in the United States. In 2023, Baker Institute efforts explored policy challenges related to the nation’s youth mental health crisis, including the barriers to care and potential policy solutions. Our experts also explored “brain health”: an emerging, interdisciplinary framework for addressing mental health challenges. Brain and mental health disorders create an economic burden on families and communities, and policymakers must invest in creativity and innovation so the U.S. can compete economically with near-peer competitors. Our experts convened numerous forums for exploring solutions under the framework of “brain health.” In December, we hosted a colloquium to explore the potential for Houston, Texas to lead innovation in this area and also championed the concept with presentations at the United Nations, COP23, and the World Health Organization.
11) Prioritizing Public Finance in a Changing World
This year, policymakers at all levels of government faced immense pressure to take action on a number of pressing economic challenges. In 2023, our experts provided high-level perspectives on consumer trends and dug into post-pandemic relief programs. We sought to explain the tax implications of emerging technologies — such as crypto currencies, electric vehicles, influencer marketers, and artificial intelligence tools. We explored finance policy at the federal level, looking back at 75 years of property tax research and looking ahead to the potential for a U.S. default. And we provided a deep dive into the City of Houston’s finances, providing a sobering snapshot of the most pressing fiscal issues facing the city.
12) Transforming US Health Care
Americans spend more than $4 trillion each year on health — far more than any other developed country. Yet, U.S. health outcomes do not reflect a sufficient return on investment. Americans experience rates of obesity, maternal mortality, and infant mortality that are much higher than comparable developed countries. In 2023, the institute launched a research initiative focused on improving the health systems and outcomes in the United States.
The research agenda included exploring hospital costs. Our research examined compliance with transparency rules by Texas hospitals, pricing and transparency among top national hospitals, and pricing comparison among Texas Medical Center hospitals. Our work also explored non-medical services in the delivery of health care. This year, we co-established the Texas Consortium for the Non-Medical Drivers of Health, an initiative bringing researchers, practitioners, and policymakers together to advance the integration of non-medical interventions into the health care system. Finally, our research tracked the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as a means of expanding access to health care for all. Our research explored the impact of the ACA Marketplace, options for obtaining universal coverage, opportunities to improve the ACA, and Medicaid expansion.
Financials
The institute’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, the Baker Institute received $13.5 million in revenue and had $13.0 million in expenses.
Distributed earnings from the Baker Institute’s endowment (46%) and current-use gifts from supporters (37%) represented the two largest sources of revenue this fiscal year. Revenue from research grants constituted 16% of the institute’s total revenue. The institute received 1% of total revenue from Rice University funds.

2022 Annual Report
From the Director
The Baker Institute provides meaningful, nonpartisan analysis on the most pressing policy issues facing Texas, the U.S. and the world.
Since stepping into the role of director in June of this year, it has been remarkable to bear witness to the rigorous work happening within the walls of Baker Hall. Here, leading experts in their fields collaborate, investigate and disseminate data and sound analysis on the important questions facing the world today.
The depth and breadth of our scholars’ expertise, the interdisciplinary collaboration and the team’s deep commitment to our mission are all elements that contribute to our success.
The strong reputation of the Baker Institute is a testament to the vision of Secretary James A. Baker, III and the steady leadership of Ambassador Edward P. Djerejian. For 28 years, Ambassador Djerejian grew and shaped the institute into the world-renowned organization it is today.
As we look to 2023 — the 30th year of the institute — I am energized about opportunities to build upon this impressive foundation of excellence. Today, the demand signal for what we can do is greater than ever. Indeed, we have a special responsibility to provide nonpartisan, data-driven, trusted policy research.
We thank our loyal staff, supporters, grantmakers, collaborators and donors who make achieving our critical mission a reality. We are proud to share with you highlights from our work in 2022, and look forward to more success in the years to come.
About the Baker Institute
The Baker Institute for Public Policy is a non-profit, nonpartisan policy research organization based at Rice University in Houston, Texas.
Here, more than 200 leading experts from academia, the private sector and government — hailing from all over the world — provide the highest quality research and analysis on critical foreign and domestic public policy issues.
2022 Highlights
The Baker Institute bridges the world of ideas and the world of action. Our experts strive to lend a meaningful voice to crucial foreign and domestic policy debates. Here, we highlight some of our most notable contributions from the year 2022.
1. Confronting Geopolitics and Energy Security
Over the past year, energy security and geopolitics leapt to the forefront globally as international events unfolded — including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the resulting spikes in global energy prices and the OPEC+ decision to cut production in the fall of 2022.
This year, the energy fallout of the Russia-Ukraine war was front and center — including how to replace increasingly sanctioned Russian oil and natural gas. As the world explored options to try to close the natural gas gap in Europe, our experts highlighted the growing importance of U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Europe and the prospects for growth in U.S. shale.
The global climate policy schism between wealthy developed nations and the much poorer and energy-hungry developing world continued from the previous year. One bright spot for non-OPEC oil growth was highlighted by the visit of the energy minister of Guyana, whose offshore oil production is rapidly growing, to Houston. Our experts also investigated the political headwinds limiting international oil companies’ ability to help the rest of Latin America expand their oil and gas production.
As the U.S. considered bolstering the supply chains necessary for energy transitions, the role of China was a key focus of our research in 2022. Developing the minerals, materials and manufacturing basis for solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicle batteries presents monumental challenges — largely because these supply chains are reliant upon China. Our research also examined the waste management issues of these supply chains for solar and other alternative energy sources.
2. Analyzing U.S. Energy Policies and Economics
The year 2022 saw the passage of massive subsidies to decarbonize the U.S. economy while President Joe Biden called to ramp up domestic production of oil, natural gas and gasoline to moderate energy price spikes.
As Congress passed the president’s aggressive decarbonization plan, our experts examined the challenges of running the Texas electricity grid in the aftermath of the blackouts during the winter storm of 2021 and the growing role of intermittent, non-dispatchable solar and wind power. We convened expert groups to dig into the future of carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen in helping to decarbonize heavy industry. Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast are well situated to lead CCUS and hydrogen efforts, given the region's concentration of industry, abundance of engineering capability and existing infrastructure.
3. Advancing Drug Policy Reform
The overdose epidemic in the U.S. has forced a reckoning with the nation’s drug strategy. This has created an opportunity to build consensus around meaningful change by advancing fact-based solutions. Through research and bipartisan government engagement, our experts have provided much-needed facts and analysis to the national debate.
Reducing overdoses requires a multipronged approach that prevents death in the short term while also expanding access to long-term treatment and prevention services. Our experts highlighted proven strategies that could help reduce the risks of overdose deaths, such as legalizing fentanyl test strips and other drug-checking tools.
As cannabis legalization advances around the country, unanswered questions remain about the broader public policy implications — such as public health, tax revenue and legal system outcomes. Our research and commentary explored the relationship between legalization and the criminal legal system, including arrest trends and legally mandated referrals to drug treatment.
4. Lowering the Costs of Health Care and Health Insurance
The high cost of health care and health insurance continued to affect the lives of families across the United States. This year, our experts published research exploring the determinants of high emergency room costs. One study considered whether adding new trauma centers in Texas could help to mitigate high prices. Researchers also explored hospital price transparency rules and published research comparing the costs of standard procedures across top-ranked hospitals and their close competitors in Texas.
Our scholars also analyzed the costs of health care and published extensive work for both academic and consumer audiences about the importance of acquiring affordable health insurance.
5. Confronting Mass Shootings in the U.S.
Today, gun violence is the leading cause of death in children in the United States. The Baker Institute launched the Firearm Injury Prevention and Safety initiative to reduce and prevent firearm injury and death. In June — just weeks after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — the Baker Institute held the first annual Firearm Injury Prevention and Safety Symposium. The event featured a keynote address from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, as well as over a dozen speakers — including researchers, health care practitioners, policymakers, law enforcement and representatives from community-based organizations.
6. Providing Nonpartisan Perspectives on U.S. Politics and Elections
On the heels of the 2020 election, the nation continues to adjust to the changed dynamics and public discourse around elections in the United States. Our experts provided commentary — locally and nationally — on political dynamics in Texas and across the country. Our trusted, nonpartisan perspective allowed stakeholders of all political parties and groups to better understand the changing dynamics of democracy in America.
7. Fostering Post-pandemic Economic Growth
In 2022, our research explored the role of small businesses and innovative startups in fostering economic growth and ways to improve the prospects for growth through policies that support private entrepreneurship. We studied tax policies and tax systems that promote entrepreneurship and reduce the costs of compliance for small enterprises. We published a study that assessed the impact of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)’s Paycheck Protection Program, which was established during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide low-interest loans to small businesses.
Our research explored the role of government — including monetary and tax policies — and the market in providing capital to small businesses. We published recommendations to improve the SBA’s 7(a) loan program. We also looked at emerging financial marketplaces, including the cryptocurrency market and the emerging use of blockchain technology — and the potential for possible regulations. Ultimately, these innovations could improve access to capital for small business lending.
8. Understanding the U.S.-Mexico Relationship
Understanding the binational partnership between the U.S. and Mexico is crucial for navigating challenges affecting people on both sides of the border. Our groundbreaking work on immigration trends and border issues continued in 2022. Our publications explored the nexus of mental health and immigration, as well as strategies to protect climate refugees. Experts argued for the expansion of U.S. work permits to address labor shortages.
Our research also examined U.S.-Mexico economic and energy issues. We highlighted the importance of Mexican education reform to boost future economic growth and provided expert insight into potential trade deals. Our annual Mexico Country Outlook predicted the dominant economic and political issues for the coming year. Amid the global energy crisis, our experts projected the potential for energy self-sufficiency in Mexico and considered how energy transitions might impact U.S. and Mexican energy policies.
9. Improving Science Advice and Trust
In 2022, our Civic Scientist Lecture Series highlighted how scientists can use their knowledge and skills to promote science as a public good. This year, we welcomed the director of the National Science Foundation, the Honorable Sethuraman Panchanathan, to Baker Hall as part of Rice University President Reginald DesRoches’ Investiture Program. We launched a digital archive of presidential briefing materials that helped shape federal science policy since 1988, including memos, photos, reports and documents provided directly from presidential science advisors.
We published a series of research items addressing vaccine equity, hesitancy and the future of vaccine policy in Texas. Our one-day symposium on Texas vaccine policy challenges highlighted the latest research and public debates.
Our experts monitored trends in emerging biotechnology and regenerative medicine and provided important insight and analysis. We published an article analyzing U.S. policies related to research using embryos and cell-based embryo models and highlighted gaps in federal policies that need to be addressed. We also published a series of reports for academic and consumer audiences on the harms of unproven stem cell interventions.
10. Training the Next Generation of Policy Leaders
Students are crucial contributors to the Baker Institute’s work. This year, over 50 students served as interns and research assistants exploring a variety of public policy issues, from urban revitalization in Houston’s Third Ward to displacement due to climate change in East Africa. In turn, they learned critical skills in research, policymaking and communications — the kinds of opportunities that are key for cultivating the next generation of informed citizens and policy leaders.
Financials
The institute’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the Baker Institute received $12.55 million in revenue and spent $12.41 million in expenses.
Distributed earnings from the Baker Institute’s endowment and current-use gifts from supporters represented the two largest sources of revenue during the year. Revenue from research grants constituted 14% of the institute’s total revenue. The institute received 1% of total revenue from Rice University funds.
Expenses from the institute’s policy centers and programs continue to represent the largest expense category — 77% of all expenditures — including research staff salaries and sponsored research project expenses. Remaining costs consist of general operating expenses from administrative staff salaries, communications and fundraising expenses, as well as building maintenance and improvement costs.
Supporters
The Baker Institute provides meaningful, nonpartisan analysis on the most pressing policy issues facing Texas, the U.S. and the world. Today — more than ever — our data-driven approach and credibility as a policy research organization play a valuable role in shaping public debate. This is why we are ranked the No. 1 university-affiliated think tank in the world. This work would not be possible without the support of our donors. We extend our deepest gratitude to them.
Gifts to the institute are tax deductible under applicable rules. The Baker Institute is part of Rice University’s tax-exempt status as a section 501(c)(3) “public charity.” Although we are only able to list those gifts that totaled $50 or more from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, please accept our thanks for each gift, which helps to support the Baker Institute’s programs and research. We strive for accuracy in acknowledging those who have given to the Baker Institute, and we regret any omission or error, which we ask you to bring to our attention.
