Regional integration and foreign direct investment: the potential impact of the FTAA and the Eu-Mercosur agreement on FDI flows into Mercosur countries

This paper aims at analyzing the potential impact of the FTAA and the EU-MERCOSUR agreement on FDI flows to MERCOSUR, using the results of a gravity model. We conclude that regional integration agreements, in general, induce higher FDI inflows to host member countries. Hence, prima facie this result...

We conclude that regional integration agreements, in general, induce higher FDI inflows to host member countries. Hence, prima facie this result implies that MERCOSUR countries could expect increases in FDI inflows as a result of both agreements under study. However, caution is needed when forecasting the probable magnitude as well as the origins and nature of additional FDI inflows to be received, since our study suggests that the impact of regional integration on FDI may differ according to the nature of the regional agreement, the countries involved and other factors. Este trabajo analiza el potencial impacto de los acuerdos ALCA y UE-MERCOSUR sobre los flujos de IED hacia el MERCOSUR, utilizando los resultados de un gravity model. Se concluye que, en general, los acuerdos de integración regional conducen a la entrada de mayores flujos de IED con destino hacia los países miembros. Por lo tanto, este resultado sugiere que los países del MERCOSUR podrían esperar incrementos en los flujos de IED como resultado de ambos acuerdos. Sin embargo, es necesario ser cauteloso al estimar la probable magnitud y orígenes de esos flujos incrementales, ya que nuestro estudio sugiere que el impacto de la integración regional sobre la IED puede diferir según la naturaleza de los acuerdos, los países involucrados y otros factores.
