The positive relationship between them demonstrates the presence of learning processes that impact positively their economic performance.Ítem Análisis de atracción de inversión extranjera a países de la Alianza del Pacífico(Universidad Icesi, 2016-10-01) Concha Velásquez, José Roberto; Gómez, Oscar AlbertoThis research develops a method to attract foreign direct investment to Pacific Alliance countries.

Un estudio empírico(Universidad Icesi, 2014-10-01) Rosso, John; Arbeláez García, DavidThis paper analyzes the effect of innovative activity on the growth and performance of MSMEs in the countries of the Pacific Alliance (PA). In order to do it, an empirical study with a sample of 386 companies from Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru was conducted. The methodology of multiple linear regressions by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) was applied to verify the relationships observed. The results show that innovation in products, processes and management has a positive impact on the growth of employment and sales, also on profits. These results are particularly significant in PA’s countries of and can help entrepreneurs, governments and academia to promote actions that encourage business innovation and competitiveness.Ítem La Alianza del Pacífico: ¿apuesta estratégica de la política exterior colombiana?(Universidad Icesi, 2016-10-01) Terán, José Miguel; Coutin, RicardoThe article develops a comparative study of bilateral treaties of the members of the Pacific Alliance with China, South Korea and Japan since 1990. This field of study has been little explored; hence the article seeks to provide a first approach with special emphasis on trade relations. Therefore, the document presents a comparison between main indicators of foreign trade and the bilateral treaties with Asian counterparts. Afterwards, it focuses on the use that can be given to rules of origin within the Alliance. The text concludes that Colombia, due to its position among its partners of the Alliance, can make use of cumulation as a strategy of short and medium term to promote and diversify international trade.Ítem Brecha de género en los países miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico(Universidad Icesi, 2016-10-01) De la Garza, Jorge; Vázquez Parra, José Carlos; Arredondo Trapero, FlorinaThis article aims at studying the gender gap in Latin America. It was focusing on identifying, with an analysis of variance (ANOVA), which variables influence the gap between men and women in the countries of the Pacific Alliance to contrast them with the rest of Latin America. The information was extracted from the World Economic Forum database. It was found that only one variable ‘the economic participation of women’ has a significant difference between this group of countries compared to the rest of Latin America. Also, it was identified that the variable ‘political empowerment’, presents an important difference which is also analyzed. It is concluded that the Pacific Alliance presents lower indicators in this variable, therefore it is important to promote and increase the participation of women in economic and political activities in this group of countries.Ítem Efecto de la innovación en el crecimiento y el desempeño de las Mipymes de la Alianza del Pacífico.

The most recent between them is the Pacific Alliance, which represents an opportunity for regional unification by means of the Southern Common Market. Studies on this issue and trade about integrations with central structures and blocs of countries on the periphery which promotes regional asymmetries are recurrent. Consistent with this, the objective of this study is to analyze the structural centrality of commercial economic exchange of both blocks and an eventual integration. The research method involved calculating centrality metrics grounded in network theory. It is concluded that the blocks have a layered structure and final effective integration should move towards a strategic regionalism.Ítem La Alianza del Pacífico y Mercosur: evidencias de convergencia económica(Universidad Icesi, 2016-10-01) Mora Mora, José UstorgioThe article develops a comparative study of bilateral treaties of the members of the Pacific Alliance with China, South Korea and Japan since 1990.
