Abstract
The term financial contagion often refers to contagion between countries. However, firms also manifest contagion during financial crises, which can be determined according to operational and financial results. This research studies how 88 private, non-financial Mexican firms got contagion and recovery from the 1994 economic crisis. Results show that the periods and degree of contagion and recovery depend on the industry and size of companies.
