Mercosul and regional development in Brazil: a gravity model approach

This paper assesses the impact of the Mercosul Preferential Trade Agreement onBrazil’s regions by means of a gravity model, extended to include dummy variables for Mercosul and for a Brazilian region. The results show that the most significant regional impacts of Mercosul were onBrazil’s Southern a...
