Abstract: The high macro-economic volatility of the Southern-Cone countries since the late 1970s are relevant fields of investigation for economists and the development strategies they promote. Regional economic integration in Mercosur as well as economic and financial openness were said to act as macro-economic stabilisation factors. In order to test these hypothesis in the Mercosur case, we study the origins of macro-economic volatility over the 1976-2001 period and focus on two sub-groups of countries: Argentina and Uruguay on the one hand and Brazil and Paraguay on the other hand. We manage to validate the demercosurization concept and present solid statistical elements underlining the problems of the Open Regionalism. We also confirm statistically the negative role of the foreign capital flux on volatility.
