Abstract

Han pasado más de dos décadas desde que en 1991 se firmó el Tratado de Asunción por el que se creó el Mercosur. Este acuerdo de integración se ha ido convirtiendo en la referencia de regionalismo abierto en América Latina. Transcurrido este tiempo, este trabajo persigue el análisis de la convergencia económica entre los países miembros del Mercosur desde el momento de su incorporación al área de integración, además de los clasificados como países asociados. El análisis se realiza tanto en términos nominales como reales. Para abordar el examen de convergencia se emplea la metodología específica que, de manera habitual, se utiliza dentro de la economía internacional para medir situaciones en las que la convergencia implica el progresivo acercamiento de los niveles de las economías menos avanzadas a las más desarrolladas. / More than two decades have passed since the Treaty of Asunción, which created Mercosur, was signed in 1991. This integration agreement has become the benchmark of open regionalism in Latin America. After this time, this paper aims to analyse the economic convergence among Mercosur member countries from the moment they join the integration area, in addition to those classified as associated countries. The analysis is conducted in both nominal and real terms. The convergence review is approached using the specific methodology commonly used within the international economics to measure situations in which convergence implies a progressive approximation of the levels of less advanced to more developed economies.
