Abstract

The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and Mexico (EUMFTA) was enforced in 2000, becoming one of the most important transatlantic trade agreements. The goal of this research is to analyze the results of this agreement a decade after the signature. A gravity model is estimated for a sample of 60 countries along the period 1994-2011. The results indicate that such an agreement has given rise to an increase in the bilateral trade flows between these two commercial partners.
