  1. See Estevadeordal, A., et. Al. 2009. “Bridging Regional Trade Agreements in the Americas,” Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID). The remaining 20 percent of intra-regional trade is carried out between countries without trade agreements and focuses on the so-called “missing links”  (Estevadeordal), such as North America with Brazil and Venezuela, and  between Brazil and the Central American and Caribbean countries.
  2. See ‘Global Value Chains’ in <www.oecd.org/sti/ind/global-value-chains.htm>, (accessed on June 1, 2015).
  3. The Index ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 means that there is only intra-industry trade, while 0 means there is no intra-industry trade and there is only inter-industry trade.
  4. The index is taken from  “Synchronized Factories: Latin America and the Caribbean in the Era of Global Supply Chains. Special Report on Integration and Trade, Inter-American Development Bank, Forthcoming 2014,” and is estimated using manufacturing trade data compiled by  the United Nations’ COMTRADE.
