Abstract

Este trabajo examina la relación comercial entre el MERCOSUR y la Unión Europea a través de una función de exportación para el período 1980-2004. Mientras las exportaciones a nivel agregado reaccionan moderadamente a los precios relativos, su reacción con respecto al precio de los competidores es importante. Además, los ingresos de la UE afectan negativamente al comercio y el efecto absorción parece estar ausente. El precio y las elasticidades ingreso sugieren que la UE no es un destino atractivo para las exportaciones del MERCOSUR. La estimación del modelo de corrección de error predice algunas dificultades para un ajuste hacia el equilibrio a largo plazo.
