description This paper assesses the monetary consequences of the Latin-American integration process. Over the period 1991-2007, we analyze a sample of five Latin-American countries focusing on the feasibility of a monetary union between L.A. economies.

Second, we analyze the impact of the adoption of different exchange rate regimes on the countries' responses to shocks. .
