Resumen:
We proposed a novel approach to understand the industrialization patternof MERCOSUR countries during the last 60 years. We performed an index to measurethe geographical bias of manufactured exports between the region and the world andshowed that regional trade agreements allowed MERCOSUR countries to decrease the biasand increase competitiveness. However, we noted that in recent years the bias deepenedin favor of exporting a higher proportion of manufactured goods to the region. Ourmain result is that these economies present a U-shape geographical bias in manufacturedexports associated with a bimodal distribution of breaks. Furthermore, we observed thatthe 1980s and 2000s were the most relevant periods for defining the region trends.
