Mercosur and the U.s.: an Intertemporal General Equilibrium Evaluation of the Regional Integration
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dynamic general equilibrium model is constructed to analyze the effects of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) on the member countries as well as on the U.S. economy. By taking into account dynamic adjustments, we find that while the effects of MERCOSUR on its member countries’ investment, consumer welfare and national product are positive, the respective effects on the U.S. economy are negative. Such negative effects are small, as U.S.-MERCOSUR trade shares with respect to U.S. total trade are quite small. When MERCOSUR additionally adopts its common external tariff policy, growth in MERCOSUR’s total trade implies an increase in trade between MERCOSUR and other countries. In this case, both MERCOSUR member countries and the U.S. are better off. [C68, F11, O41]

An Inquiry on General Equilibrium Effects of MERCOSUR—An Intertemporal World Model
A multiregion dynamic computable general equilibrium model is constructed to analyze effects of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) on the member countries as well as third-party nonmember countries. The model is based on intertemporal optimization behaviors of consumers and firms with eight endogenously specified regions. By taking into account dynamic general equilibrium adjustments, we obs...
متن کاملElasticity of Intertemporal Substitution: An Investigation in Iran
We[1] present estimates of the Elasticity of Intertemporal Substitution (EIS) for Iranian households using synthetic cohort panels based on household micro-data. Results show significant difference with the common values used in Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models which are originally based on estimated values for developed countries. We show that this difference has important ...

The paper focuses on regional trade agreements and economic co-operation and develops a new appropriate approach to study their impact on growth and trade. The approach is based on an endogenous trade-growth theory and novelly specified in an economic integration (expenditure) framework which is the conceptual foundation of regional trade agreements. Importantly, it also appropriately takes int...

متن کاملPrice Integration in MERCOSUR Countries: A Fractional Cointegration Analysis
This paper examines price integration in the MERCOSUR countries of Argentina and Brazil after the creation of this regional economic agreement using a fractional cointegration analysis. The results suggest that Argentine wheat and corn prices are fully cointegrated with the corresponding world prices, whereas Brazilian wheat prices are not cointegrated with the world price. These results suppor...
