Abstract
El presente trabajo analiza la relación existente entre los conceptos de convergencia económica e integración económica, tomando como referencia la Unión Aduanera Centroamericana. Así, aunque la integración centroamericana se basa en una historia común y en el propósito compartido de favorecer el desarrollo en la zona, la evidencia empírica analizada para el periodo 1990-2005 confirma un incremento tanto de la divergencia como de los niveles de desigualdad en la región. Nuestro trabajo forma parte de un estudio más amplio sobre las posibilidades que ofrece la integración económica para contrarrestar la tendencia hacia la desigualdad persistentemente registrada en el istmo centroamericano.
This paper analyzes the relationship between economic convergence and economic integration, taking as field of study the Central America Custom Union. Despite the bases of the process are anchor in their common history and in the purpose of achieving higher levels of development, empiric evidence for 1990-2005 period highlights divergence amongst these economies and put in doubt the capability of the process to decrease income inequalities. This work is part of a deeper one which seeks to study the possibilities of economic integration to counteract the ongoing divergence in the isthmus.
