Abstract

Haciendo uso de modelos gravitacionales, se analizan los flujos agregados de comercio con el fin de identificar los efectos de China sobre el comercio de América Latina. Entre las principales conclusiones se encuentran las siguientes: i) El crecimiento del mercado chino no fue desaprovechado por los países de América Latina; ii) A nivel agregado no se encontró que las importaciones que los socios comerciales latinoamericanos hacen de China hayan desplazado a las importaciones que éstos hacen de América Latina; iii) Sólo hay una asociación positiva entre importaciones de China y exportaciones a terceros mercados en el caso del Cono Sur.
