Why are flights from some countries much cheaper than others?

The price of a flight on a ticket on it's own may be different from the price of the same flight on a multi-stop itinary and it may be different depending on the particular route or airlines involved. Airlines may lower the price to compete with other multi-stop routes or raise the price to discourage giving buisness to non-partnert airlines. They may lower prices for purely domestic itinaries for political reasons. These differences can be very substantial.

To get to Miami from Resistencia it seems you are forced to use AerolΓ­neas Argentinas for the first leg and if you want to do the journey in one stop forced to use them for the second leg too. So there is little competition.

OTOH to get to Miami from Asuncion there seem to be at least three different one-stop routes operated by four different airlines. COPA via panama, Avianica via Lima, Aerolineas Argentinas Via Buenos Aires, LATAM via Lima.

In other words there is lots more competition, so it's hardly surprising that there are lower prices.
