Abstract

This study examines the development of Intraindustry Trade (CII) and

its contribution to the growth of trade between Brazil and Argentina in the period

1990 to 2007. Thus, the methodology proposed by Menon and Dixon (1997) that

decomposes the components of trade types in intra and inter-industry was used.

The results indicated that for many sectors, with the formation of Mercosur, the

trade between Brazil and Argentina, before characterized by inter-industry trade

relations have been characterized by the intra-industry trade. However, because

of high production specialization between these economies, the dynamic contribution

of trade to total intra-industry trade was in various periods lower than the

contribution of inter-industry trades.
