description |
By the beginning of year 2006, the Free Trade Area of the Americas, FTAA, will be launched. Mixed expectations and concerns about its effects on the individual economies have grown in the area since this process started in December, 1994. This paper aims to discuss a particular expectation –or concern- which is: Will this liberalization of the Americas contribute to increase or to decrease the huge gap in per capita income between the industrialized economies of the North, -Canada and the U.S.- and the other thirty-two countries? Based on the analysis of empirical evidence on current trade areas in the region, we conclude that even in the case of equal trade, where the agreement manages to conciliate the interests of developed and less developed countries, income convergence will, probably, not be one of the outcomes of this liberalization. The lack of symmetry in an area which gathers countries at very different stages of development, an asymmetry much more pronounced in them FTAA because it includes the largest economy in the world, prevent us from expecting income convergence even if this trade area becomes a successful one. |

Muchas inquietudes existen en torno a los posibles efectos que la conformación de esta área de libre comercio tendrá sobre las economías de los países integrantes. Este artículo analiza una de estas inquietudes la cual se refiere a si esta integración de las Americas contribuirá a cerrar la brecha en el ingreso per capita de las naciones industrializadas del norte –Canadá y Estados Unidosy las otras treinta y dos naciones o, por el contrario, profundizará dicha brecha? Con base en la evidencia empírica de otras zonas de libre comercio de la región, se concluye que, aún en el caso de que en el tratado se logren conciliar los intereses de los países desarrollados y los no desarrollados para un comercio justo, la convergencia del ingreso per cápita no será, probablemente, uno de los resultados de esta integración. La asimetría existente en esta región, más aguda en el caso del ALCA por el hecho de que esta área comprende la más grande economía del mundo, impide esperar que se logre convergencia aunque el área resulte exitosa.engUniversidad EAFITEscuela de Economía y FinanzasWill FTAA Bring Income Convergence?workingPaperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperDocumento de trabajo de investigacióndrafthttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_b1a7d7d4d402bccehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042Acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Free Trade Area of the AmericasIncome ConvergenceFree TradeALCATratado de Libre Comercio de las AméricasConvergencia del IngresoLibre ComercioMaya Ochoa, CeciliaRestrepo Puerta, Juan Manuelcmaya@eafit.edu.cojrestr24@eafit.edu.coORIGINAL2003_7_Cecilia_Maya.pdf2003_7_Cecilia_Maya.pdfapplication/pdf637851https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/c92196cd-2ce6-4b28-bdba-b6ff05bbccf8/downloadd676eed16894209c6c1ebc7633369bacMD51LICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-8968https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/1b6c20f2-f73d-4c81-a01b-16e8f32a3cac/download4cc960a42e07fca3808fbd6b90ab2a1fMD5210784/927oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/9272024-03-05 14:06:32.896open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.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 |
