Because of this, the objective of this research is to analyze the effect of the agreement ratification on the technical efficiency and convergence in efficiency of these economies. For this, an efficiency indicator was obtained through the methodology of a stochastic frontier analysis. Among the main findings was that, with cooperation, the efficiency of the economies improves, and it also encourages convergence in the use of production factors. Furthermore, it was identified that, on average, the economies could grow an additional 1.5% for the year 2020, due to the cooperation generated by the agreement.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Con el nuevo paradigma de los Estados Unidos de firmar acuerdos comerciales bilaterales, con la premisa de America First, su retirada del Trans Pacific Partnership llevó a las demás economías firmantes del Acuerdo a su modificación para configurar el Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership, con la intención de mantenerlo sin aquel país. Ante este escenario, se desconoce el efecto que podría tener sobre diferentes variables para los 11 países que permanecen en él. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el efecto de su ratificación sobre la eficiencia técnica y la convergencia en eficiencia de estas economías. Para ello, obtiene un indicador de eficiencia a través de la metodología de Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Entre los principales hallazgos se encuentran que, con la cooperación, mejora la eficiencia de las economías y, además, favorece la convergencia en el uso de los factores de la producción, es decir, la convergencia en eficiencia, reduciendo las disparidades existentes entre países. También se identifica que, en promedio, las economías podrían crecer de manera adicional alrededor de 1.5% para el año 2020, derivado de la cooperación generada del Acuerdo. La construcción de un escenario de eficiencia para el año 2020 ha mostrado que los países de ingreso medio son los que obtienen mayor beneficio en términos de mejor uso de los factores de la producción.]]></p></abstract>
