TRI Perspectives Comment
This is a good paper on what we have seen throught the years. I think it can take on further step by adding some political, regulatory and economical issues that could affet the data. For example in 1993 NAFTA was signed..is there any effect on the number of manufacturers from this? CAA is mentioned for 1995 but there are MACT standards that affected certain types of industry like pharmaceutical ..so maybe if the article focuses on 1 or 2 sectors that would enhance it ..
