Abstract
In the last chapter it was established that the purpose of this text is to design a method to allocate the industries of the Sectorial Programs of Industrial Development of the Andean Common Market among the member countries in a manner acceptable to all. The purpose of this chapter is to describe briefly the progress that has been made toward the solution of the problem of the assignment of industries in integration schemes among less developed countries. The review of the literature marking this progress will be limited to the following:
-
1.
The description of the main approaches suggested for distributing the benefits of integration arrangements among less developed countries.
-
2.
The delineation of the schemes proposed for the resolution of the industry allocation problem.
