Abstract

El MERCOSUR acuerda la eliminación de barreras al comercio entre países fronterizos que presentan una gran asimetría en su dimensión geográfica y económica y que se ubican a gran distancia de los centros económicos mundiales. A partir de variaciones sobre un modelo de equilibrio general estilizado se examinan posibles impactos de la conformación de un mercado común sobre la localización geográfica de la producción simulando distintos escenarios de apertura en un mundo formado por países y regiones naturales. Se trabaja con un modelo de competencia monopolística con economías de escala, diferenciación de productos y costos de transporte aplicado a un mundo en que existen dos sectores productivos, un único factor, tres países y cinco regiones naturales. La presencia de economías de escala y barreras al movimiento de bienes provocaría un "efecto-aglomeración" en torno a los mercados de mayor tamaño relativo provocando una especialización de las regiones menores en sectores sin economías de escala. Sin embargo, la trayectoria de especialización no es lineal. Su evolución y el equilibrio final con uno o varios centros industriales depende de la interacción entre el tamaño relativo de los mercados, los costos de transporte, los niveles de aranceles y el poder de mercado de las firmas.
