| Sumario: | More than two decades have passed since the Treaty of Asunción, which created Mercosur, was signed in 1991. This integration agreement has become the benchmark of open regionalism in Latin America. After this time, this paper aims to analyse the economic convergence among Mercosur member countries from the moment they join the integration area, in addition to those classified as associated countries. The analysis is conducted in both nominal and real terms. The convergence review is approached using the specific methodology commonly used within the international economics to measure situations in which convergence implies a progressive approximation of the levels of less advanced to more developed economies. |
