1 FTAA in Perspective: North-South and South-South Agreements in the Western Hemispheric Countries Inter-American Development Bank Masakazu Watanuki Josefina Monteagudo June 5-7, 2002
2 Evolution of Regionalism in the Western Hemisphere The second wave of regionalism has gained momentum in the Western Hemisphere Renewal of LAC s Old Regional Initiatives * LAFTA LAIA * Andean Community * Central American Common Market (CACM) * Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM) Creation of New Trade Blocs * NAFTA * MERCOSUR * FTAA * MERCOSUR-EU
3 Policy Questions/Objectives of the Study What is the potential impact of the respective integration options for hemispheric members? What pattern of structural transformation does each country or regional bloc undergo? How different is the North-South approach in comparison with the South-South arrangement? What is the role of Latin America in the FTAA for the respective LAC s members?
4 Main Features of the CGE Model (I) Model: Multi-region, multi-sector, comparative static Production Sectors: Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) Demand: Final Demand: Utility Maximization by Household Intermediates: Fixed Input-Output Coefficients Trade: Imperfect substitution Exports: Constant Elasticity of Transformation (CET) Imports: Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) Factors: Land Capital Labor Base Year: 1997
5 Main Features of the CGE Model (II) Trade-linked Externalities: Melo and Robinson (1992) * Sectoral Export Externality SAD k i = ( ) k k EK / EK i ηe * Import Externality of Capital and Intermediate Goods SAD * Aggregate Export Externality SAC 0i k ( ) k k ηm MTOT / MTOT + (1 n ) k 2i = ni 0 i k = ( ) k k ETOT / ETOT Scale Economies: Melo and Tarr (1992) * Contestable Markets for Manufacturing Industries 0 ηk k k

20 Share of Latin America in Exports to the Hemispheric Market: FTAA Primary Light Manufactures Heavy Manufactures Share (%) Mexico Central Colombia Venezuela Rest of AC Argentina Brazil Chile
21 Summary and Conclusions * SAFTA generates modest gains, but can be superior to the North-South arrangement in terms of specialization of high value-added exports * The North-South integration has sectorally differentiated impact on Latin America, depending on partners. * FTAA is the best option for hemispheric partners except MERCOSUR, for which integration with the EU is more preferable. * In the FTAA scenario, Latin America absorbs some 50 percent of the increased exports to the FTAA market. The presence of LAC contributes to increase exports of non-resource-based exports.
