In this context, Colombia’s trade policy is geared towards the signing of bilateral trade agreements.

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 obtained<br />question the Colombian policy of signing trade agreements. ER -
