In 1995, however, the economy again turned sharply downward as a consequence of the peso crisis and the uncertainties stemming from the 1994 presidential transition. This study examines public opinion about economic reform within this changing macroeconomic and political context, drawing on data from national opinion surveys conducted in 1992, 1994, and 1995.
