Resumen:

This paper aims to focus on the effects of economic integration in Latin America on the extensive and intensive margins of trade, by following the methodology introduced in Baier, Bergstrand and Feng (2011). The analysis is performed for eleven member countries ofthe Latin American Integration Association (LAIA). In order to do so, we usepanel data for bilateral exports of goods from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela to a large group of trading partners over the period 1962-2005.

Unlike other papers which study the effect of integration agreements ontrade marginsonly in industrial manufacturing, we focus in three different sectors: a) primary goods and manufactures of agricultural origin; b) manufactures of industrial origin and c) mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials.
