Abstract: Regional integration initiatives provide the opportunity to integrate the productive structures of the countries involved, seeking to explore economies of scale and activities with greater added value. This article aims to measure the progress of productive integration between Brazil and Argentina, in order to ascertain whether this phenomenon was favored by the formation of Mercosur. The methodology used is based on indicators of participation of intra-industrial trade and in the incidence of the exchange of intermediate goods. The results reveal limited growth and un-stable movements in the productive integration indicators. Evidence suggests that the contribution of regional integration to promoting the productive integration of its members will be greater the more efficient and sustained are the policies aimed at this objective
