Economic Integration And Manufacturing Concentration Patterns:
Evidence From Mercosur
The paper analyses relative manufacturing
concentration patterns in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay over the period 1985-1998. The econometric evidence indicates that localization of demand and comparative advantages are the main driving forces of these patterns. The establishment of Mercosur seems to have played a role in the spatial distribution of manufacturing in the above three countries.
