Acuerdo Unión Europea-Mercosur: una revisión de los efectos económicos previstos

Resumen

Este trabajo realiza una revisión de la literatura empírica que ha estudiado el proceso negociador para alcanzar un acuerdo de libre comercio entre la Unión Europea y los países de Mercosur (Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay). Esta revisión ubica esta literatura en la perspectiva de todo el largo proceso negociador comenzado en 1992 y culminado con el Acuerdo de Asociación Estratégica de 2019. Se revisan los resultados cuantitativos de los estudios más próximos al acuerdo final y se muestra que este no permite alcanzar todas las ganancias que se derivan de la ventaja comparativa de España en manufacturas y servicios, y de Mercosur en productos agrarios.

Palabras clave:

integración económica, modelos de equilibrio general aplicado, ecuación de gravedad, barreras arancelarias, barreras no arancelarias, ventaja comparativa
