| description | The proliferation of bilateral trade agreements has created a phenomenon known in the literature as “hub and spoke” bilateralism. In this context, Colombia’s trade policy is geared towards the signing of bilateral trade agreements. This article evaluates the policy of signing bilateral agreements implemented by Colombia between 1990 and 2015. We analyse trade flows between Colombia and several countries using Baldwin’s HM index of hub-ness (2004) and the matrix of Chen (2008). The results obtainedquestion the Colombian policy of signing trade agreements. |

This article evaluates the policy of signing bilateral agreements implemented by Colombia between 1990 and 2015.

La proliferación de acuerdos comerciales bilaterales ha creado un fenómeno conocido en la literatura como “organización regional en ejes” o bilateralismo “eje-radios” (hub-spoke). En este contexto, la política comercial de Colombia está orientada hacia la firma de acuerdos comerciales bilaterales. El artículo evalúa la política de firma de acuerdos bilaterales implementada por Colombia entre 1990-2015. Se analizan los flujos comerciales entre Colombia y diversos países aplicando el índice HM de Baldwin (2004) y la matriz de Chen (2008), que permiten medir la organización regional del comercio en ejes. Se encuentra que se ha consolidado un sistema de economías ejes y radios. Los resultados obtenidos cuestionan la política de firma de acuerdos colombiana.
